I agree and i don't.
We do seem to always go into every season without the striker we need, its become something that this club does which is frustrating, yes i get that every one is trying to sign a striker but we don't seem to learn that being light in that department always costs us early on.
Would be nice to be going in the season with more firepower up top especially with the injuries, i don't want to see makeshift players doing a job so they say just to make do.
The argument will be well everyone is trying to sign the same player my argument is well if needs be as the past seasons prove we always are light up top.
we need to learn from our mistakes pay a bit more
The thing is it's not always about money, There could be numerous reasons why we can't sign a top striker. |

If, and its a big if, most of the players in the squad were fit and ready for the start of the season i am pretty sure most people would be happy.. eg. Taylor or LJL up front supported by two wide players from Sousa, McAtee, Wright, Grant or Scannell...
The trouble is we arn"t going to start like that and will not have had the pre season to gel the players together because of those injuries...
Why have we had so many injuries? Poor training, weak players, players with bad history of being injured or just bad luck... Maybe its a bit of all of that...
Are the owners responsible for this? No. Is the manager responsible? Maybe for some of it as he signed some of the known injury hit players...
What i do know is players need support and thats down to us... What we have got will get better with our support so lets get out there and back our team, warts and all....
A lot of good points but one is missing. We now have some very decent trainng and treatment facilities but they seem to have made bu99er all difference to the number of injuries and time out for players. |

The title of the post is ridiculous. Don't remember any commitment to a huge budget and haven't seen anything which makes me think they're not doing as promised. Concern about lack of firepower with a fortnight until the season starts is fair but the post and title aren't.

Would you accept Williams, Morais or Jackson starting if we did not have others in the building?
I would have Jackson starting today so he is fit for Bromley, in case we dont get LJL/Taylor fit or a new striker in time, as starting with Adlard or Essel up front would be stupid they are not at the level needed yet to start matches; and certainly not as good as Ira yet. |

Spot on the two lads mentioned aren’t up to it yet maybe they will get there but for now not the required standard , without a decent number 9 mid table finish but still plenty of time to bag one like others have said |

Pure insanity. One pre-season game makes Ira fit, one pre-season game gets Ira up to speed playing with a new squad. Ira wasn't good enough full stop. Can we forget about him as if he's some raw misjudged untapped talent. He just isn't. If we're a striker or two short next week, Hurst will play McAtee or Grant, or both more advanced.. Let's stop with these silly Ira posts and stop being so soppy over a nice interview he did once upon a time... |

If the players who have been ditched were hot property, they'd already be with other clubs wouldn't they?

I'd rather the new lot spent money on players rather than the training ground, sprinklers and fan zones, they're proving to be no different to the last ownership in that respect. (I'd also rather they'd spent money on a manager too but we are stuck with him now until maybe Christmas anyway)
When / if we ever get a striker are we going to spend a few quid or will he be another desperate for a club free agent ?

Im not saying he is hot property its just he is way ahead of Adlard and Essel in ability etc. so stupid not to use him instead of them if we don't have fit strikers on Day1 and therefore needs to play in friendlies to get match fit. Have you seen him play against a conference side? how do you know for sure he can't hold his own at this level? I have seen Adlard and Essel play against part timers in leagues below us twice and both were out of there depth. |

I thought I'd read that there was/is a fee involved with McAtee. If true then we've already spent money on a striker from a higher division, so slightly unfair to cast the new owners under the same umbrella as JF. People need to calm down a bit, it is not in the slightest bit unusual that clubs are still looking for players whilst the transfer window is still open, and that loads of clubs have to wait until the final days to get their targets. |
