Sonny Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 3 minutes ago, Walt said: Jos has been allowed to sign one player for (very) roughly £500,000 during his time here. It’s a pretty shitty hand he’s been dealt tbf, he inherited a bloated squad with injury concerns which was flirting with a relegation battle. We are now told the squad needs a cull, a squad that is already lacking key components in certain areas. If you’re looking from the outside you’d be saying that looks more like a survival battle than one geared towards a promotion push...but it’s the hope that kills you and with a fit squad we are more than capable of a mid table finish, if Jos has the scope to bring in a couple of new players then who knows? Another injury hit campaign and we could be in for a rough ride. Only a shitty hand if he was promised something else. I’m pretty sure he’ll have been well aware of the situation when he signed his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder whether he was given the full picture when he signed, either way for me it’s still a shitty hand even if he was aware of the actual reality. He’s done remarkably well imo given the resources available to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see any reputable coach/manager taking on a job without doing his homework on the club first so I'm pretty sure he would have known what he was taking on.

Guest Arcadianrocket Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 If we don't sign anyone it's not the end of the world. The injured players are like new signings. Would be lovely to get rid of some of the deadwood such as Jones, Abdi even Fox. I do think we are in desperate need of another CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see both sides of the argument to be fair. it's not so much the quality of players we signed more the quantity......we have signed players that wernt imo needed or fitted into how the side was setup , factor in a lot of them have been given contracts that at there age are going to be difficult to shift out and are more or less unsellable makes me say the policy adopted by the club is flawed .

What it does mean though, that theres probably nothing in these Baldwin, Hugill rumours, who don’t fall into that category Peterborough chairman confirmed we had bid for Baldwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
