Well, I seem to remember seeing Murray on Saturday. Rosenior and Bong will have a part to play too I'm sure.

I know its tough though, when you want us to sign someone really FAMOUS (or someone that you don't have to Google, as Danny Rose would say). Chin up snowflake.

Huddersfield, much to my chagrin, are a great and current example. How many of their squad have any extensive Premier League experience? 1? Maybe? Where are they in the league again?

Yes - they've not exactly played any of the big boys and it's early days BLAH BLAH BLAH. They are an excellent example of why "Premier League Experience" isn't a prerequisite to be able to hold your own in this league.

Not that at all. Appreciate the need to start picking up points but realistic enough to know that no signing even with prem experience is guaranteed to be a success. As a club we've spent a lot and if they gel as a team over the next couple of months we have every chance of staying up and pushing on from there. Akpom had this much heralded prem experience as did Wilson. Worked for them didnt it?

Agree but both young and pretty unproven .

Any chance that we can sign a player and not have to worry about getting a work permit and international clearance?

No, the big difference is the quality of the opposition they've faced thus far compared to us. If they come out of October / November where they play 5 of last seasons top 6 unscathed then I'll gladly bounce this topic and bow down to your superiority.

We could beat Barcelona 10-1 in the Champions League final, and you can guarantee there would still be some on here slagging off our defence/keeper for having conceded one.

Don't think Bong ever played in the Premier League, but he does have top flight experience from France, which doesn't count. Same as Bruno and Hemed playing around 200 games between them in La Liga.

Agree they have had easier games , but I will confidently say now we won't score 3 goals in a game away from home this season .

Yes maybe have to pay over the odds but at least you know what your getting !!
Seem to be taking a lot of gambles on players we have no real idea how they will perform !

Bang on the money. I said this a while ago. This will ultimately be our downfall.
