Adver News: TEF Suicide Watch...

[STFC_Gazza]

Put it into perspective. Did we get promoted with Greer? Will Brighton get promoted with Greer this season? Not likely, 2 steps back, 1 forward IMO. Plenty of time yet!!! On a side note would love for his knee to go and he misses the season!

i cant seem to see any gay pun in the adver write up, looked at it about 100 times now, could someone point me in its direction as its bugging me now , and no im not gay

The headline is "Greer End" a witty take on the phrase "Rear End" which means bottom, or anus. I think you can work out the rest.

Think we're flying well under the radar so far with the whole Greer doesn't matter thing. Mwhahaha, Brighton must think they've got a right worthless crock thanks to us carefully hiding our true emotions.

i fail to see how this thread can be labled hysterical,suicidal or over the top?
dave pretty much has it right as far as i'm concerned.
i think a fair few of you just think it will all be alright off the back of last season.that's fair enough as they aint let us down, but we have lost half that team already.

some people are more optomistic than others.i think i sit in the middle(others probably think not mind)i have faith that we will bring in decent replacements.i also think some might step up to the plate.but in the back of my mind i can't help but think this coming season wont live up to the last one.
if we had kept hold of the majority of the team and added a few better players to it then i would be confident of success this season.as it stands we have plenty of shoes needing filling

Exactly Arriba. The concern is totally logical and those expressing the concern have all admitted there is plenty of time to get some decent players in. That doesn't stop them being labelled hysterical and being ridiculed for the sake of humour tho.

My issue with the response is that we'd think we just lost the linchpin of our run since Christmas, and he wasn't.  He nearly cost us a play off final place at the end and other players were far more influential.  I think everyone hankers for the change he showed to us when he first arrived, when everyone else was shit and he was consistently good.

We've got good money for him, and we are actively seeking new players to add to the squad, at least 4 by current reports.

The Paynter one is amazing me as well, why the worry?  Yes the club have said current players are good enough (I'd be mroe concerned if they were saying the opposite), but we have also made it very clear we are seeking two strikers - so we are looking for replacements.

We've got Prutton and Easton has gone, we are after Ferry agin so we may have a better central midfield.  We've got one fullback and we are looking to buy another one, both of whom are rated for our current level and ambitions, so we should be the same if not better there for next season.   For me, the only one I'm watching closely is the wing's, where Ward was a bit of classy act and would eb tough to replace.  But, Wilson and Fitton have shown that we should have faith in their acquisitions on the whole.

It it was August right now, we'd be right to be concerned.  It's not, and it's very bloody clear we are in the market for a number of players, all of whom seem to be up to the standards we are hoping for (based on those who have already joined).

Has anyone heard from DV since lunchtime?

[reeves4england]

I think losing Greer is quite a big step backwards. Now, the way Fitton and Wilson have operated so far would suggest that we'll be fine despite this. However, I'm not confident that (a) Morrison or LJF can step up or (b) 3 centre back will be enough. And the words coming out of the club seem to suggest we won't bring another CB in. Also, we definitely need a left winger and two strikers. I'm sure the club are working on this and I'm happy to be patient.

My main concern is that Fitton seems to be putting too much faith in a squad which is currently looking, at best, no better than last year's. Hopefully this summer's remaining signings will prove my fears to be unfounded.

Does the fun EVER stop on here???

Oh my dads a wee bit annoyed - he was a Greeranarian?? is that what we called fans of him?

I think Greerophile would probably be a little bit nearer......'arian' seems to go with 'octogen...' and words like that....

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

When has the club said they won't be replacing Greer with another CB? Did I miss that?

[Simon Pieman]

We've got quite a bit of transfer money in so far haven't we? Plus the budget put aside to make Paynter the highest paid player at the club. Then there was our Wembley windfall and the associated merchandise. Also West Brom got promotion which probably means additional money for Cox.

If past actions from Fitton are anything to go buy, he'll have put aside a decent chunk for Wilson to spend.


Now that I've thought about it like that I feel more optimistic than ever
