I believe that they are full of confidence, have faith in their new manager. All a bit reminiscent of us under Poyet during our second season at the Amex. Good luck to them, I'm a bit jealous, I expect them to have a much better season than us.
Rodriguez was shit, and I'm not even convinced he was playing first team 2nd tier Spanish football at the time he came here.
I may have pushed the Championship quality comments a little too far, maybe :wink: but my point is that we are struggling to sign quality players. I was not looking to be...
Stephens I missed. Toko is from a Swiss League, is that any better than the Israeli league and on a par with the Championship? ( I honestly don't know). O'Grady is a League One player, Rodriguez was second tier Spanish, not convinced that is on a par with the Championship, again I could be wrong.
Not really, since January I would say it's pretty factual. We have captured two Championship players and released half a team. Seems pretty obvious to me that we are struggling to entice Championship quality players here.
Edit why am I getting a thumbs down on this post, have I missed our...
I was talking about our current situation, not going back to Poyet.
Stockdale - Championship - good signing
Hughes - Championship - probably a good signing
Toko - no idea if he is any good tbh
O' Grady - League One
Turned down by a number of Championship players allegedly and by the club's...
IF he told Huddersfield his preference was Boro it's nowhere near the same scenario though. We were a club very much on the up who had given CMS team a complete run around at London Road the previous season as we won the Championship. One comment on the day from A Peterborough fan was "**** me I...
I get the impression that this is their big push for the Premier League. We had one that was a bit shit or bust that turned to bust a couple of years ago. Now we are going down the sensible route.
I love how NSCers can decide that 1.5 to 2 million was an OK deal for Clayton but 3 million is too...
It was indeed, 2 seasons ago we did it with style, last season we flattered to deceive and only a slightly loopy fanatic can believe that as things stand we have any chance of repeating the feat. I accept it may all come together by the end of the transfer window, I am not that optimistic as I...
I believe and accept that Poyet was entrusted with spending the money to fast track us to the Premier League. It didn't work out and we came very close. Last season we overachieved. I understand the reasons why TB would not want to keep throwing money at the club, I just wish he would be more...
There is obviously nothing in between? Is it unreasonable to expect the club to strengthen rather than weaken the team whilst they spout PLR spin in every press interview? Only a club sycophant would believe that the current player situation is not something to express concern over. It has...
