So cheap then? Excellent. I hope this post will finally embarrass the head in the sands happy clappers who were insistent all was fine and dandy and we were just holding fire on our master plan.Talk of Roofe going to a league 1 club, when Jones has now agreed terms sums our summer up!
Low basic wage with appearance bonuses for Jones. Same as Bodin last season.
If he’s over his knee problems he’d be a good signing. But It’s likely we’ll do well to get 25 games from him. Could be the same for Bodin, Browne and Baldock.
Someone asked who the striker we’ve made a bid for is… this past few days we’ve made numerous offers to clubs and contracts to players, we’ve been knocked back so many times all summer it’s now getting desperate!
Been so many things wrong with the club this summer from whose running the show, what type of players we want to a manager who didn’t know what he wanted or where he wanted to be…
But Scotchegg and a few other positives say everything is going well and hunky dorey, and they are not concerned at all! MmmmmmmmTalk of Roofe going to a league 1 club, when Jones has now agreed terms sums our summer up!

Wow.... coming from you UTO who has proved time and again that you really have your finger on the pulse, that is quite damning and very worrying... are you saying that KR had his head turned earlier in the summer at a crucial time for us? Was it the QPR job?Talk of Roofe going to a league 1 club, when Jones has now agreed terms sums our summer up!

How many players have we “joined the race for” or “shown an interest in”? It really means very little. And although Egg will doubtless claim it’s a sign of ambition, we have managed to sign/loan , er … none of them in the last couple of months. Unfortunately KR has an over-inflated sense of his own appeal and Oxford clearly isn’t as attractive a destination as he’d like to believe. As has happened before, they’ll doubtless be two or three panic third/fourth choice panic buys a few days before Derby.

I can’t see Stevenage signing many players if that was the case!I always like to imagine the metaphor as literal.
Ie when you "join the race" all the managers are lined up and the first one to the end of the pitch gets to sign the player. Would certainly explain why we seem to miss out a fair bit.
I guess it's better than 'beating off stiff opposition' though.

Well I thought our current recruitment was bad but I’m glad at least you’re not in chargeStupid comparison. Two players who have played at the highest level there is! Even then it would depend on their wages v building rest of squad. My opinion is that unfortunately we find ourselves in a position where due to the amount of risks we take, we just have too many risky players and can't afford another one. Yes there is a good chance his ability will win games but also a good chance he will miss lots of the season due to injury and with Baldock out as well, not worth taking the risk on the wages he will undoubtedly be on.
so i was half right about KRto a manager who didn’t know what he wanted or where he wanted to be…
Nasty stuff here today. Scotch contributes a lot, practically keeps the place going, while people like you offer littleCome on then @Scotchegg try a pathetic attempt of putting a postivie spin on that
Because he's got so much right this window hasn't he!Nasty stuff here today. Scotch contributes a lot, practically keeps the place going, while people like you offer little
If Kemar Roofe is within in our grasp, and we’ve gone for a crock in stead. The manager needs sacking urgently!
Well what kind of wage is Roofe likely to be on compared to Jones....Uh oh. This forum is about to have a field day with this…
If Roofe is/was a realistic possibility, and we’ve ended up with Jones, then even I, with my eternal optimism, am going to struggle to put a positive spin on things…
This really doesn’t sound good, and further cements the fact that we are in desperate need of a Director Of Football! We can’t have a manager doing all of the deals for players. He’s obviously being stretched too thin this summer, and it’s clearly becoming a hindrance. He’s not Barry Fry, and football has moved on from this being the norm! We can’t continue to operate like this! I think the fact KR is so insistent on doing things himself, might actually put players off. It shows a clear lack of structure at the club. I for one, would be concerned about something like that.
This isn’t how a ‘Top 30’ club would go about things. It’s coming across as a bit lightweight, in my opinion.
I’m nearing my final stop on the positive bus…
