Do you think that comment is acceptable,no wonder this board is becoming a joke with ignorant people like you on it.

How can you get so upset over a comment like that?

Nothing to do with being “the lord saviour” of Jolley. Merely pointing out some of the hysteria I’ve seen today based purely on the fact we’ve not signed anyone permenantly today.  

As much as you say they are entitled to their opinion, I agree, but in the same vein so am I and others who disagree with them as equally as they do me.

To be honest, I’m also disappointed we haven’t been able to get someone decent through the door today, but that doesn’t mean I think we are bound for relegation and the windows been a total failure, because it hasnt and we aren’t.

Pointing out that I’d rather we didn’t go and get someone for the sake of it I thought would be quite a sensible thing despite any disappointment we haven’t been able to get anyone. That we still have weeks to get loans/unattached players is a simple fact.

Let’s not forget where we started from eh? A team which almost lost us our league status.

The thing it is not just today he has had 3 months and the Dembele  money to identify and sign a forward.I have had every confidence in Michael Jolley from day one ,but think that this is a failing that I hope doesn't come back to bite us.


Maybe the location is a problem, if MJ is wanting the players to move here and may have had made the decision harder for the player.  But I would have like to have seen us make a couple of permanent signings, oh well not to be.

Agree with this. One of our biggest problems last season (amongst others) was lack of a goals. So a proven goalscorer should surely have been the number one priority? Wouldn't like to wait until Jan to try again, so for me, we must bring someone decent in on loan. Can't afford not to.

Here's hoping.

I am glad Michael has not wasted the money we have just to say we have signed a striker

He will spend it imo but not until he thinks we have got the right man,

He is here for the long haul not to get promotion this season and move on,

We will get the right man either in January or even the summer,

So I expect us to have a season of ups and downs and finish mid table

Then strengthen again in the summer and go for it next season.

But he had identified at leat two forwards that we know of in Angol and Bowman..... We can't force clubs to sell or players to sign... They've got to have to commitment and desire to want to come to GTFC and make a difference!

We have also signed Cook and Vernham who both describe themselves as strikers, despite what we all say!

Thought this was an interesting post by the Accrington chairman on twitter earlier today.

“Why is it so difficult to understand @EFL ? Clubs higher up the pyramid are solely concentrated on their own squad. Only after this will they give us decisions which is quite right.
All I hear now understandably is we will let you know Friday.
Potential transfers are now loans.”



All Town aren’t we

Some people are making out we have been rejected by a few players,

I do not think that is the case,

We have been turned down by one who I refuse to say his name but Bowman did not turn us down,

His club rejected our offer so we  did not even talk to him.

Other deals that have fallen through have not been made public so we move on and keep trying.

I agree with the sentiment Pete but, as things stand, I don't see a squad with any strength in depth, any goal threat and any wide attacking intent. There's an awful lot to do before we look anything like a mid-table squad.

Perhaps they should get some advice from Bignot. He had no problems signing players.

Jolley has previously stated though that it would take more than one window to get the squad he wants.
