STILL no signings yet I see. Tick tock tick tock season starts in around 4 weeks. At this rate we are gonna struggle to field a 6 aside team!!. Ferry, Ranger, McEverly, Troy, to name a few have departed but none replaced. Starting to get a bit worried as other teams seem to be making signings daily.

Sure you mean Ferry? He left about three years ago.

You may have noticed we didn't have an owner officially until last Friday. Signings will come, Power's statement says 3-4 and targets identified.

Yes of course we will sign some players, what a silly statement/question.

Hmmm, not many posts, pointlessly critical, using misinformation in public, use of 'gonna' rather that 'going to'....

Hi Jed!

How's Brazil?

Listen in to Lee Power on radio tonight, 6 pm.

Still too coherent for Jed

WUM.

Piss off.

WUM from down the A420 I would guess, doesn't even know that Ferry left at the end of last season and has now moved back upto Scotland..

If that's a scum stone that's been cast then there must be a glass shattering noise in their ears.

If it is, indeed, a yellow fecker I'd suggest he'd worry more about that fella Ashton that's going to sell them down the river.

Oh, and BTW, how many have you signed?

I reckon in a few years they'll be nostalgic about about the 3 sides they have now instead of none!

Power has a few things up his sleeve I'm sure....I'm relaxed now the board stuff is sorted...

Mid table would be good...so lets see what old Will Power comes up with.

Thing is, I bet all we sign is more inexperienced loans, average age of 19. Trouble with that is, we will never build a team that will gel and progress. As soon as they have gelled and bonded then it is back to their parent clubs and then we have to start all over again for the following season and so on and will never get anywhere, hence why we will be stuck in league 1 and league 2 for many seasons to come I fear.

Given we are trying to live within our means, I'd be interested to hear an alternative plan.

 Plus Luongo and Byrne started as loans...

But would you not think that if we had got promoted last season that Pritchard may well have signed on for another season long loan in the Championship?

I would rather watch a decent PL youngster for a season than some gnarled old lower league pro.

To be honest our most experienced players this year ( that we currently have ) will be Ward, Harley and Williams - all three of them crap.

Haha had crossed paths with this guy on facebook.

Ferry ffs. What day is it today bud?

I'm still prepared to be won over by Williams.

Ward, whilst a decent player for us overall, is not the player he once was.

Harley . . . .  :twat:

All 3 of them ours  :cry:
Hopefully the long term project, once self sustainable, will lead to a settled team with a few loans to push us on.
But the backbone of the team needs to our players so season on season we have some stability

If I rememember correctly Williams is not the type of play that can play up front on his own

No
Am guessing will be used more as a wide player/2nd striker

Well, judging by the WC the 1 up front may have been ditched a bit.

I have always been a 2 up front man - as are the majority of fans, I'd suggest

I really like the sustainability theory and am quite happy with our use of the loan system as it definitely paid off last year but it's all a bit hopeless while we're stuck with high paid experienced pros who offer us little. It'll take a couple more years to really start seeing results but by that point the fans will have turned and we'll have been forced to sell promising players due to high salaries for Williams et al.

I'm sure Cooper will persist with the 3-4-3 (5-3-2 when defending strat)
