RobbieOwler Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) To be honest, we only hired CC last night to stop folk on here moaning about it being July and that we don't have a manager.Remember we've signed 2 players already unlike last season. But like last season we're building from the back Edited July 1, 2015 by RobbieOwler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieB Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 My hopes are on us bringing in some proven quality in this league and spending 'whatever is necessary' to get them here. But my gut feeling is we'll bring a load of cheap unproven foreign players in. Hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthndav Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I personally think the 'whatever neccessary' comment has been blow out of proportion really. I mean, to use an analogy. If I wanted to travel to Paris, I have a number of options: 1) Hitchhike 2) Car and ferry 3) Train 4) Flight 5) Rocket propelled hover boots Obviously the boots and the flight are the 'gold plated' options carrying the most cost. But if I can get to Paris a cheaper way i'm spending what is neccessary to achieve my objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieOwler Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'd be happy with half a dozen Portugal U21 players. At least CC would know how to speak to them and what to do.Maybe we should re sign Flora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arithmetic Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Zola would have been someone I would have liked to see come in. Why? Because of the way he left West Ham hovering above the relegation places? Or the way he left Watford languishing in the bottom half of the table? Or the way he left Cagliari in the relegation zone? Or just because you've heard of him?

The combination of 'whatever necessary' and 'aiming for the premier league by 2017' implied we would flying to Paris rather than hitchhiking.

coreyswfc Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I think a few people may get a surprise with our next few signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I never claim to be ITK, but the one thing I have heard and repeatedly keep hearing is that Chansiri is EXTREMELY reluctant to spend on signings. I've been saying this for a number of weeks and will continue to do so: Don't expect many, if any, big or even sizable transfer fees for players. He's investing in facilities but not the playing staff, I'll be happy to be proven wrong but until then I think we all need to temper expectations. We will not be spending much on signings.

Carl Shutt is God Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Why? Because of the way he left West Ham hovering above the relegation places? Or the way he left Watford languishing in the bottom half of the table? Or the way he left Cagliari in the relegation zone? Or just because you've heard of him? Thought he did ok at Watford in our league. Plus I think he is hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 So he thinks a better toilet will get us promoted. Training facilites, pitch, corporate facilities, scouting system etc. Framework.

BD2OWL Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I just love how people say "nothing going on at the club" what an utter load of rounduns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Where did you hear this. pre season training has only just started, give the man a chance. Originally heard it about a month ago, so of course things may change. At the moment I think the idea is to get the best bargains available and really hunt out deals with a minimum spend being important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id find that really strange to come to a football club and spend all your wack on making the place look nice but neglecting the one thing that really matters. I wouldnt lay new grass in my garden so the dog had a nice place to have a 5h!te Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true that is the most stupid logic I've ever heard. It would be like buying a mansion and getting your furniture from the charity shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 If he's not wanting to spend then failing to sign the best bosmans was pretty silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
