maybe we made an approach but spurs/he was only interested in going back to yovile?
fucking stinks though. and that stench is starting to smell like incompetence.

Championship sides of the like of Reading, Watford and QPR, who are just down the road from us have loads of exciting young talent on their books who will not feature this season, why aren't we banging on their doors to get a couple on emergency one-month loans.
I just cant see this mystery big money signing coming at the moment, and it will probably end up with a panic purchase just to appease us lot in the end. Re: Trundle.

If Jerel does sign for Aberdeen that will be fifteen players who have left since the end of last season to be replaced by five. Maybe we have lined up fifteen new strikers
Thats actually quite worrying as we thought our squad lacked depth last season.....

Obika is very suprising, maybe he is not the type of player DW wants. Its beginning to look like it could go bad with these other clubs picking up players seemingly very easily, still wait and see.
Fingers crossed the optimists are right and the rabbit pulled out the hat is worth it!

It makes you wonder how much Douglas and O'Brien are on a week. We've trimmed our squad to the tune of 15 if Ifil goes, thats alot of wages freed up.

Where did you get that figure from? I'm sure it's closer to 20. Didn't Wilson say he wanted a squad of around 22, including a few of the youths chipping in where needed?

Quite surprising ... from Wilson's interview it seemed to suggest that only 1 striker would be signed now ... I guess Peacock is the 3rd striker ...
This is going to be a KEY signing .. if we dont get a player who can bang in 25 goals .. we might well be up against it with our weak defence ..

13 were released at the end of last season. Cox was sold. Ifil looks like he's on his way. = 15 players left the club.

No DW will still sign 2 strikers, he actually talked before about getting 3.

Oh dear. This is both disappointing and embarrasing.
If I was Paul Ince I would be telling his players to kick Billy Paynter out of tonight's game.
Kick him hard enough and we'd have 0 strikers for the league game on Saturday, and with no plans to bring one in before then either.

Players who are likely to feature in first team at some point (18): David LUCAS Scott CUTHBERT Jonathan DOUGLAS Jerel IFIL Gordon GREER Jon-Paul MCGOVERN Craig EASTON Michael TIMLIN Anthony MCNAMEE Phil SMITH Sean MORRISON Kevin AMANKWAAH Callum KENNEDY Alan O'BRIEN LESCINEL Jean-François Billy PAYNTER Lloyd MACKLIN Mark MARSHALL Players with long term injuries (2): Lee PEACOCK Hasney ALJOFREE Players unlikely to feature (4): Nathan THOMPSON Kasali Yinka CASAL Mark SCOTT Kurt HAMMONDS Jakub JESIONKOWSKI
That's 24 players. If we rule out Ifil, the two injured players, Casal and the youngsters then it's 17. A couple of strikers and injury recoveries and we have our squad.

The only other time in our history, (completed season) when we've failed to score in the opening 2 league games was 00-01....we at least had some strikers on the books Alexander, Graz, Martin Williams, but they just didn't score enough. T*dd had cobbled together a squad, but much of it was rubbish and it took King to sort out the mess. As we know we stayed up by virtue of Wovers spectacular implosion at the end. This was why AVdL ended up playing up front a couple of times.....Danny Invincibile ended up top scorer with 9. T*dd could see the writing on the wall and thankfully jumped....there are similarities with this season, in that on paper the new (00/01) side didn't look too bad, it just didn't work. Will the smoking chimp be fit enough for another rescue mission?
