If takeover falls through then we would be left with no players

I'm looking at whether Snoddy signs his contract as to true state of affairs at ER.

Good point Jonty! I'm also looking at the fact that NW has not walked when he was so close to doing so a few weeks back.

Stoopo, I never thought Warnock would walk, he's full of bluster....the more I listen to him, the more I realise that he says what the thinks the fans want to hear.

After a while the hyperbole loses its impact.

Paddy Kenny is the most important signing he'll make for Leeds - so how is he going to make any more potential signings feel that they're the next best thing since sliced bread?

Drury - too old
Pearce - Captain of a relegated team - not good enough
Green - Serious injury - lost his bottle
Linked with
Peltier - Worse than O'Dea
Varney - Worse than Paynter FFS
Now a 34yr old forward who Bradfors are after.

Are we competing with Bradford FFS?

your being abit hard on Pearce there

Pompey were in serious money trouble so that helped their relegation

In fact - Most of the players Warnock seems to be buying have been relegated from this division at some point!

I just think if a deal was allegedly signed weeks ago with new owners / investors there is no way we would be signing the players we have signed over the last few weeks. The statement from ER was that they (investors) had the resources for the "long term future of the club"
Most of the signing will not be here for the long term because of age.

Scott Parker captain of a relegated West Ham

Junior Hoillet winger from relegated Bolton

Half our team from 2004 relegation from the prem¬


Point isd its a team that get relegated not one player.

We've heard the serious money trouble things for months now, how Pompey need cash yesterday hence desperate to feel all their players at cut down prices.

Strange then that only 3 players have been sold.....I think fans have over-bought into that story.

I think fans have over-bought into LUST's takeover story Jonty.
All the cr@p player we're linked with - there can't be money coming in as there are much much much better players out there!

He was free so he'll be a squad player

Stopped reading here.

Anyone who thinks like that is an idiot.

Wind your neck in Matty - people too eager to throw insults are what ruins these forums!!

Wasn't free Shaun, 3 year deal for the good old 'undisclosed sum'

No, people who know nothing of football are worse than people who insult.

So just because he was relegated because his team got given a ten point deduction that means he is not got enough.

No, the pointy you made here was utterly, utterly stupid, give me one reason why I would want to keep reading after that.

Also not sure Kenny is going to be a squad player - you sure you not talking at corss-purposes here Shaun?

No Matty - you think you are cleverer than you are and find it easier to insult than offer your own views!

Easy to call someone an idiot when you have no point of view yourself!

I do have a point of you, its that you are an idiot for suggesting a player is not good enough cause he played in a side that was relegated.

posted on 12/7/12

Mattyp ,

Well said. You can have great individual players in a poor team.

posted on 12/7/12

No Matty - it is MY view that he is not good enough - one I base on the 2 times I watched him in the flesh and several others on tv.

posted on 12/7/12

Dublin - the fact that we are being linked with half of this relegated team is a slight concern - no?

posted on 12/7/12

Young-

It's a big concern for me that we are supposed to be trying to get out of this league but yet we are always buying average / poor players.

I get where mattyp is coming from:

Saying because a player comes from a crap club he is himself a crap player. Some players that are not doing great at one club , could be a different lad at another, different manager, training regime , setup, team mates etc etc
