Were missing them

Quoted from ginnywings

Reading the club statement the other day, it's a bit vague as to when the new 'quality' players will be arriving. It doesn't specifically state that they will be in this window as far as i can tell. Will some of the extra budget go on paying off players early?

If the player/s they have indentified and want are not available until the summer, will the fans accept that, given that most are now assuming we are signing some in the next three weeks? Think Russ had already hinted at that in the interview.

Ye see that about 'quality players' wonder if there the same ones that are supposed to make the hear stand up on the back of our necks that we've been waiting for for donkeys years????

it is a reasonable statement on how things  are developing, cant see how it warrents a red cross, I just want us to get involved in getting the players we need, and not wait until its at the deadline. I just think we should grab while out there. Maybe a few 'crabs' with guilty continence are still having bad feelings like me with the continuation of the Clown being in command/, just that I thought the sooner the better to changw thinfgs around, but me myself want rid too, lets see on Saturday!, we lose, we get rid, we hope

We don’t want fans like you . Stay away  if that’s all you want is to see us lose.

I'd get to the Docs with those ailments.

I agree listening to Russell Slade's interview today he mentioned that some of his targets may not arrive until the summer.

I think he was just preparing us for not too many more signings this month which I hope is not the case as I wouldn't want the burden of our failure to score goals to be put on that young lad's shoulders.

As if people want us to lose. That's crazy, I'll be there on Saturday hoping for a massive turnaround, definitely not expecting it though.

I’d much prefer we waited to get the ones we wanted (like Klopp did with Van Djik) rather than rushed into signing rubbish (like he did in the summer TBH. Except that was due to dilly dallying about with players would never sign (Chicksen, Revell, Hart, Walker, Crofts etc) and ending up with what nobody else wanted (Hooper, Dixon, Woolford). Please learn. I’d much rather have a squad of 20-22 really top quality players for this level than 28+ with some “good”, some “ok” and most “not good enough”.

and I really hope we get thrashed on Saturday. I am totally against the crap from the board. The Clown will not get better, he should of been gone last satursay evening. Hope Fenty and Clown Slade like making history in bringing the club into oblivion

This opinion of yours would have been better if

I’m sorry but the same people who are calling for Slade and Fenty to leave are the same people bleating about not signing new players. Who the hell is going to sign for a club who’s fans are up in arms and where the management team are in danger of losing their jobs.
The board have publicly backed the management in order to stabilise the club and hopefully convince players it’s safe to sign for us, has it worked? Unlikely, as most fans have just ridiculed the statement and continued to call for heads rather than rally around and say ‘f@ck it, I’m not keen on the manager or/ Fenty, but it’s my club and I’m going to support the team and see where it gets us for the rest of the season’.
DublinMariner, you Sir/madam have inspired me to get off my backside and go to the upcoming games including Colchester, which I had decided not to bother with, thank you.
I’ll be there on Saturday against Newport too, not singing ‘Slade out, but All Town are we’ UTFM

Players will sign if you pay them the right money.
The style of the statement was generally praised as an improvement by most. Some had questions about the content and I would say rightly so.
This sort of fan blaming excuses the failure of the board and the management. The fans have the least influence on whether a player signs for the club or not.
You can't behave the way that our Board have in recent history and suddenly expect a rallying cry to unite to have the desired impact. The proof of the aims stated will be in the signings made in January and the results for the rest of the season.
