Roberto,
You’re right, No point in buying the same chess pieces we already have. Yes,it would be nice to have the type of player that would add another string to our bow, so do your best, we can ask for no more.
Thank the rest of the staff for not over spending on Carew. Thankyou.

BOING~~~~BOING~~~~JtH.

Take your silliness back to the dark-side. They are used to it over there. Dingle.

if we have a few irons in the fire (strikers)why are we going back to square one? and not plan B? just a thought.

We already have MAF, Rueben Reid, Marcus Haber, Roman Bednar, Chris Wood and Ishmael Miller not doing the job of scoring goals, so any new striker will have to be carefully considered. Not sure why we don’t approach players in December and say to them “if the two clubs can agree a price and you pass a medical, would you sign for WBA on 1st January ?” ; then we would maybe avoid this scramble to find a second or third choice.

Got to try and get this in! it’s not a dig at the Dingles but at the E&S.
If your recent 46 page coverage of the Dingle’s 1-0 win over a demoralized Chelsea,applying the same standards just 1 column would be in order today me thinks,probably won’t see the light of day but we’re used to it.

Kev, does this mean that Maximillian has now left the famed ‘couch’? If it’s free, could you cook for two more and I’ll bring TMH over for supper. That couch and sweet nothings whilst ‘vetting’ her qualifications……
PS: There are 6 Saturdays and 1 Sunday in a retard’s week,(acknowledgement to Ali G), so I do know the match is tomorrow.
Hatfield, give our coaches and scouts a bit of credit aer kid. If it were that simple, they’d do it. If Carew does the biz for Stoke, there’ll be howls from the ‘we don’t do enough’ group. If he doesn’t, the ‘other lot’ will be telling us they ‘told us so’.
We shall never know how well he’d have done for us. Er, Stoke are losing at the moment!

“He wont be rushed to buy” Because he has only got three shillings and sixpence to spend! But at least JP is topping up the old pension pot with the baggy hard erned. 23,000 blind mice! Still, its your dole money, spend it how you like.

Yeah but we bought Dorrans and Mulumbu for three and sixpence, while you’ve spent thirteen million on Fletcher and Godber.

And while we’re on the subject of spending. I wonder how many Man City fans were happier before the Arab money?

I’ve watched City numerous times on TV this season and it’s always the same, I’m drooling at the thought of all of the World class players on display only to end up disappointed by what is usually a boring, sterile game of football. They are top quality players and they do show flashes of brilliance but there is no passion there.

When they played us there was a twenty minute spell when we couldn’t get the ball off them but apart from that they looked very ordinary. I wonder what would have happened if we’d gone in front, would they have the spirit to come back?

I know some will say that they would settle for being at the top fighting to win the League but would they? I see Man City and wonder if their fans are thinking, where are the Micah Richards and Michael Johnsons that have a connection to the club that extends beyond their pay packets.

It seems to me it’s a bit like winning the Lottery. You can buy anything you want but risk losing your friends, your soul and all the things that really matter in your life.

I’m very proud of my club and what we’ve achieved and the way we’ve done it. I resent the way the media dismisses us but I feed off that resentment. I love it on the odd occasion that we stuff it to the ‘glamour clubs’ and become the party poopers. Just like rich parents can’t buy their children happiness, I don’t think any team of players that some billionaire jetted in to buy us could give me the pleasure the win at Arsenal did. No matter how much they cost.

Don’t worry folks I’m sure RDM and Dan will bring in what we need.
I agree with the views on AJM. We can all be a little negative sometimes but he definitely needs some happy pills.
Sad how Lone has to come and have a pop especially when he should be concentrating on the scintillating season of excitement he is being served up. I fancy us to win tomorrow.

Spot on about Man City and our win at the Emerates. Great post.
Blues at Man U and Wigan today got hammered out of sight. Wigan could well have been beaten by double figures. We picked up points there. Don’t think Blues losing Dann for the rest of the season will help them at all – much like Olsson often steadies our ship – Dann has been terrific for them the last two years.
On the transfer front James “Can’t cut it in the SPL” Beattie is apparently back on the Radar. Now I did want him in the summer but he has proved beyond doubt since going to Ibrox that he is now a journeyman looking for the last pay day.Good job they don’t listen to me. I’d rather have KP or even Earnie back than Beattie now.
Hurst has been working hard and doesn’t seem out of place.
As for strikers, I’d consider Owen but only because of his incredible scoring record at the Hawthorns already.
JtH I agree why waste money on buying players for the sake of it.
Hopefully we’ve had our worst spell of this season over Christmas and New Year and in what remains I think we will have enough to pick up the points to ensure we finish comfortably above the drop zone.
It’s easy to blame JP when other teams are splashing out.He’s on a hiding to nothing with some of youz. If we sign no one and go down SACK JP; if we splash the cash and go down sack JP, DA and RDM. These are dingle views.
As for Lonely how many pennies will he have to rub together when looking for the funding for his Championship season ticket next May.

Sometimes to not act desperately can add the confidence in the sqaud; that the position they have achieved so far in this league is one they are capable of maintaining.
Keep Calm and Carry On.

AJM
Yesterday I was suffering from Cyril Saturday/Sunday syndrome, partly due age,partly because I’d worked a whole week for the first time in 12mths and partly due to drink.
I forgot we were playing today and I thought it was evidence of you being a Dingle,still being on the computer at 12:02pm on Saturday when you said you were going to the match.
I’m sorry for doubting you on this occasion and handling the case like inspector Clouseau but you have to admit the evidence is quite strong.
Hope you have a good day today,look forward to your terse reply.

15 lonely- I’m sure you get some sadistic buzz from the constant battering you get over here.By the way,you had your wires crossed on a previous thread.I said one of our new ‘family’,Ms. Tchoyi,would give you a verbal bashing,like everyone else does,and I then said you probably get the same from Mrs. Lone,so you work nights to get away from her.I would never suggest that she works the night shift up in Manchester,I’m sure she is a kind and very nice Ladieee,so I have absolutely no idea why she puts up with you.Maybe she’s just doing her bit for the sad and lonely of this world.

If we sign new players,all well and good,I’m sure JP wants us to be strong enough to stay up,and RDM,as a Manager,will welcome more quality into the squad.But if none of the target players want to come,then personally I don’t want them either.We’ve had some great results with our current squad,so who’s to say we won’t get a few more with the same players in the remaining games? Let’s just stay positive and ignore the doom and gloomers.
