Title: New signings.... Post by: Batch on Friday, January 18, 2008, 13:39:36 We got a good deal in the January sales. Watford were having a BOGOF sale.
Can't imagine the Sweaties giving anything away for free :fishing: Title: New signings.... Post by: sonic youth on Friday, January 18, 2008, 13:39:47 no we opted for stabby mcstab and another mercurial winger who will cruise through games unnoticed.

Doesn't exactly fill me with confidence :roll: Title: New signings.... Post by: sonic youth on Friday, January 18, 2008, 13:45:58 if fitton wants to get us in the championship then signing watford rejects isn't going to get us there. if they're not good enough to play in the championship, they're not good enough for us.
if these new owners are so minted then they ought to show some proper ambition and bring in players who can help us succeed, regardless of price. a loan signing and an undisclosed/nominal fee stinks of penny pinching. Title: New signings.... Post by: DMR on Friday, January 18, 2008, 13:46:14 I'm not disappointed, to be honest I don't really care either way had we signed them either way.
I'd rather we paid money though on someone in this league who is a standout performer in their current side - proven at this level rather than a young 'un as likely to be crap as they are worthwile. Title: New signings.... Post by: Luci on Friday, January 18, 2008, 13:46:44 Lets just believe everything were told on internet forums shall we! Crewe fans say hes shit so he must be!

Title: New signings.... Post by: DMR on Friday, January 18, 2008, 13:59:04 And the all important Crewe fans :mrgreen:
I do think though, why not spend the money on someone like Aaron McLean, or Antony Elding. You know what you'd be getting. Title: New signings.... Post by: sonic youth on Friday, January 18, 2008, 14:02:05 or kaka. we need a good attacking midfielder.

Title: New signings.... Post by: sonic youth on Friday, January 18, 2008, 14:59:48 anyway, piss taking aside - mcnamee sounds like an exciting player, not sure whether he'll be consistent enough though.
Title: New signings.... Post by: BANGKOK RED on Friday, January 18, 2008, 15:03:34 Forever the optimist, I reckon that they could be quite exciting myself.
McNamee, from what I have heard could be a real crowd pleaser, a bit lightweight maybe but that doesn't mean that he can't scare the shite of of defences when he has the ball. Beside's, if he get's 44 matches under a championship team that wins promotion he must have been doing something right!!!. Dunno about moses, He sounds quick but that's all I know about him (Asides from his attitude). Anyway, there was talk of 3 - 4 signings and so we may still more yet, plus the cox bid is still on the table. Title: New signings.... Post by: Luci on Friday, January 18, 2008, 15:05:49 I thought there may be some more news on a few of ours out on loan though.......

So they're not good enough for a Championship side looking at promotion to thePrem? We're a mid-table club in League One trying to buy players in the middle of the season. What do people want?! This time three weeks ago we were worried we might not have a club, not you're moaning our signings are shit? Reality check people... Title: New signings....

This time three weeks ago we were worried we might not have a club, not you're moaning our signings are shit? Reality check people... Yep. Agree with all of that. I never ever take any notice what other fans have to say about players we have signed as it invariably turns out to be a load of shit. If a League 1 team signs a player from a team in a higher league, it's pretty obvious that that player has not been performing fantastically well, week in week out, for the first team. If he had, then he wouldn't be dropping down to L1. But that clearly does not make him a crap player as we have seen time and time again. The latest examples being Corr and Cox. We seem to go through this with almost every player sign. People see fit to pass judgement on a player before he's even kicked a ball and when they clearly know absolutely nothing about him. I don't get it. Title: New signings.... Post by: flammableBen on Saturday, January 19, 2008, 09:12:04 Remember when all the Leicester fans said that Jon Stevenson was brilliant and they couldn't believe they were letting him go? That still cracks me up.

"Maurice then did his homework, and had the players watched three or four times. "These are two players that we targeted last year with Paul Sturrock. Title: New signings....
