If he’s framing it as that, ie his own speculation, that’s fine, we all do that. If he’s framing it as ITK, then he’s just the messenger of news that someone wants us to believe. 23 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: Genuinely wondering, do other clubs use a hypocritical performing monkey to "get info out there"?

I don’t think it’s that so much, some of it is because he’s changed from being miserable moaner, I know best, bette than Nige, better than LJ, etc….to a bit of a sycophant who has sold his true self for a bit of ITK. Fair play to him. I hope Liam succeeds, but if he doesn’t, I will be interested to hear his excuses. Some if the weak efforts I heard on FBC when we were struggling last winter / early spring were hilarious and so hypocritical. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lansdown is quite happy with a mid table championship side unless we hit a run and do a Luton. There is very little ambition shown and I would argue that all the signings we've made since Nige left are with a view to maximising sell on value. IF there was any shred of ambition then given the defence was the fourth best last year and we struggled to create chances then a creative midfielder would've been found by now. ("We'll do our transfer work early.....") Given how much we haven't spent it's not unreasonable to assume we could've acquired a proven scorer too. Not to say any of the new lads won't step up but they all have this "one for the future" vibe about them. You have been quite vocal in how the club haven't spent on oven ready, good to go players and the reality is that for those of us who have been supporting the club for as long as we have it's difficult not to have a cynical half empty view when quite frankly, the statements from the chairman and his poodle continue to insult supporters intelligence. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't know for at least 6 months I wonder why we didn't make a go for Celar or someone similar, surely he isn't on enormous wages? That would be intriguing although I think the loans out were good. If I was a little greedy I would say loan out S-P-H, offload Conway reluctantly, and get in Sinclair, Fally and Celar say. Then you are futureproofing as you know Wells is off next summer probably, Conway is clearly off now or then and S-P-H hopefully returns in good shape. Armstrong can also play out wider too if he is a Semenyo type? Edited July 19 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I agree on. I hope for the best and if some of these young players can develop together and be kept that could be different.. just not yet. I would have been on James being retained for another 2 years, in Year 2 especially he could help to guide some of Murphy, Knight, TGH etc- young promising midfielders.

ProfitInMyPocket Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I said I liked Armstrong's attributes but not for that much money. Looks like all of the other possible striker options that the club wanted were thinning out and they've overpaid a bit if those numbers are true. You pay that type of money and expectations are going to be a lot higher and for someone who is still starting out and learning his trade it is going to be difficult for him.
