Originally posted by Asian Eagle Is our management capable of getting in the right players? I am not so shure about that.Why let Gayle and 2 others go before we have got someone to replace them?Okay, Chmack and bayour was never gonna get new offesr from the club, but Gayle ,,, well it could seem like a mistake to let him go. And this saga of Benteke and others in the same line, why the f* be so slow in getting a real target man or two in?Just can`t belive we once again failed to get in the right players.This happens all the time.It is the same f*ing story all over. This will probably be another season in the relagation fear.This should never happend if we had a steady hand on the weel.Less than 2 weeks until kick off, if nothing happens this week,I don`t think it will happend at all.Just Wickham and that other helpless fellow up front.Oh dear o my Targets would have been identified before sales were sanctioned. It was a great bit of business moving Gayle on for £10m and gettting AT for £13m! He was a bit part player and yes, top goalscorer but his link up play/overall game wasn't going to push us on this year. On securing other targets, strikers rarely move early in transfer windows - They are the commodity and it pays for selling clubs and agents to leave it as long as possible. With CB there is also a mention that he's due a loyalty bonus if he stays past the 23rd of Aug - Question: If that was you at your job, what would you do?! We haven't failed to get anyone in yet - We'll have only failed once the window closes, if we haven't signed anyone. Not sure if you've been party to the meteoric rise since 2010 but that's down to the people currently in charge - So I think it's safe to say we are in good hands. Could you elaborate on "this happens all the time" because I can't recall that being the case. Personally, I think we'll get one of SB/CB, probably CB and then another striker (hopefully a nippy goal getter) before the window shuts but after the first few games.

Do you remember a few years ago under Holloway, when we signed so many players that we couldn't fit them all into the squad. Was that better management? We had about 9 forwards too! Edited by dp (28 Jul 2016 8.00pm)

We must be intending to play for the point. 38 x 0-0 draws = 38 points but I fear come the end of the season it will probably not be sufficient to keep us up! Denial is not just a river in Egypt!
