    He still posts his own info but he also does a round up of what the papers/press are saying. But people are getting confused and taking those bits as coming from him even though it's clear it's not because he puts the name of the paper or website it came from in brackets.

     

    People just need to use their eyes.

    I only check on here or the OS Mark, not enough hours in the day.

    Im not watching the Real v Sevilla game but I really rate Bacca and would love him here. I think Bobby is very astute. We have splashed out on Lukaku and if injured we have a crock in Kone and Naismith and Mirrallas as stand ins. A striker to put pressure on Lukaku is what we need. Im sure we have money there if the right player comes up and im sure Bobby will get his man.

    Yes Trev, we definitly need another quality striker to keep big Rom on his toes. I doubt he's worried about Kone or Naisy keeping him out the team. Can't afford him thinking he's starting every game no matter how he plays. I'm certain Utd have still got some major business to do & that will have a knock on as to who they let go & to where. Can still see a Cleverley or Zaha loan happening myself. We'll still bring two or three in on loan I'm sure.

    With Dunc, we're not that much different to last year. With rotten luck, we could be without the likes of Rom, Barry, McCarthy, Distin....etc. through injury. It COULD happen and if it did, we'd struggle. No question.

     

    In the long run, if we don't do as well as last year, will players like Besic or Rom want to be here without prospects of European football? Possibly. Possibly not. Either way, the squad isn't big (or good enough) to repeat last year, as well as the EL.

    Boom!

    They will be valid concerns if there are no more additions before 1st September. Until then theyre frustrations, understandable frustrations, and nerves considering the "lack of depth" we have.

     

    But consider this. When Martinez talks about bringing kids through, I imagine it will be the League cup, to an even greater extent than last year, which will balance out somewhat the 1st teamers availability for Europe. Depends of course, who we draw and how we progress.

     

    Then theres the players coming back from injury and the players who had breakthrough seasons. Stones is likely to be more involved, who wasnt considered much in the 1st half of the season. Neither was Alcaraz since he was always injured as was Hibbert. So we already have twice the backup at CB and another RB going into this season. Garbutt has put in a few decent performances in preseason again and Oviedo (who missed most of the season either injured or playing second fiddle to Baines) now offer genuine backup rather than names on the books. Besic and Gibson (again, injured most of the season) offer genuine backup, competition even, to Barry and McCarthy. Pienaar and Kone also missed a lot or most of last season so same applies. McGeady should be getting better match fitness so we have potential backup on the wings.

     

    So between Stones, Alcaraz, Garbutt, Oviedo, Hibbert, Oviedo, Besic, Gibson, McGeady, Kone and Pienaar we have 11 players that we couldnt really turn to during the season (Besic the obvious exception), mostly because of fitness. Thats why we struggled; all the injuries forced us into picking from a vastly reduced squad. All of them are on their way back. It could be argued that thats exactly why we need more people in but theres no guarantee that will help either mind you, see our ill-fated loaned striker from January. We have the depth, we just need better luck with injuries and more youngsters breaking through. Luck we cannot influence, the kids however we can.

     

    Im not sure if this makes sense, Ive done my shoulder in and am on horse pills for the pain so might be talking out of my ass (excuse the poor joke) but does it make sense? And, not to repeat myself again, there are 3 weeks to go until the window closes! We have done excellent work this transfer window in getting so many important players and the manager tied down, lets celebrate what we've done rather than worry about what may or may not happen in the near future.

    Well said Matt. We will at least get two or three loans in I'm sure & I'm pleased with the business we've done so far.

    What kind of welcome is that? There's a time and place for expressing your opinion on fans, and this is not it. Hopefully, Ben isn't put off by such ill-considered comments.

    Gonna stick up for Brett on this, I don't think he intended on being unwelcoming, he welcomed the poster & said he was glad he chose to join our family. He was just expressing his opinion, based on his own experiences which I can relate to. At the same time, I think it's shit hot that we are picking up supporters from all over the world & it goes to show how far we have come as a club in recent years. Anyway.........welcome on board Ben lad, great choice! :)
