Can someone explain to these people that the Transfer Window has been open for just TWO WEEKS and we have signed FOUR quality players already ! There are 47 days to go before the window closes and we have posters on here who are ready to commit hari kari because there is a lull in transfer activity. Let me just say to them that if they know of any other Prem or Football League Club who have achieved all of their transfer targets then name them and stop knocking Nigel Doughty and Mark Arthur for alleged "cock-ups"
In my opinion it's "so far,so good "

I was reading until this point then I though f*** it. If you ain't got a clue on that then anything else you say is most probably shite also.....

'tis a shame but must be expected with drivel comments such as those......

 

[Johnny Bravo]

Seven? I though it was only five!

Right, I'll get painting on my bed sheets tonight and we'll go have a protest tommorrow.

 

[clabbyash]

So the cap does fit then ?

Are you going to correct the blantant error in your post regarding the transfer window? I so want to finish laughi.. erm reading your post but alas I just can't until this problem is rectified....

Thanking you in advance, luv you ;D

15th today isn't it?

That would be 15 days.

I've found Mark Arthur and I claim my £5! ;D

 

[Erik]

Frankly, I think it a little silly.

But then, on the other hand, given history, I do see where they are coming from.

It's still silly though. There is plenty of time left.

If however, we reach September with no one else in then I may start to take back some of what I'm saying now.......

 

[clusternakker]

Maybe MTV are doing a show called 'pimp my defence' and they are going to surprise us all on the opening day of the season?

 

[Lee]

We are used to Forest disappointing us..

Thats why.

 

[RedDogChris]

Despite the irrationally of worrying with it only being mid-July,I won't be able to sleep content at night with matters to do with Forest until we address our full back holes at the very least,sorry.

And I was quite excited when I heard Westwood was coming to The City Ground.

Do not buy in to the clubs spin.

We are right to be worried.

By my reckoning we've only signed two. We haven't strenghtened at all. and this is the real point. The club want you to believe we've strengthened and that 'something is happening at Nottingham Forest' but it's all the usual spin. Really the club have only signed two players as camp and anderson were already here last year. Mcgoldrick should be a good buy but adebola? Come on we all know thats clutching at straws. Is that the best we can do?
So again, (and as i said last year), we are allready weaker than last years squad as we have let players go without strengthening the areas we need to.

The short of it is that Arthur comes out with hs usual c.r.a.p when season tickets need to be sold and we're not signing anyone else.

Please consider my point. Think about it. Look at the reality of the situation. Look past the lies we're continually fed year after year.
Lets debate not abuse.....................

Please get a new club

 

[It's Baggio]

Why? His post is pretty much spot on IMO.

 

[toptrunk]

He was also quite adamant we were goin to get relegated last year, lots of exclamation marks if i remember rightly. That didn't happen like a lot of us said it wouldn't. He just loves a bit of drama, maybe he can be the queen of the forum!x

I agree, there is still 3 weeks until the new season starts, still plenty of time left. BD claims he's working around the clock and thats good enough for me.

Currently it appears to be the WUMs and the people who's glasses arnt just half empty but their milk has been spilt all over their new sofa's kinda guys.

I think BD as manager for a full season already a big plus for us.

As has been said numerous times before.


Don't panic mannering!!!

I agree. If we'd signed defenders first I think people would still be panicing about the strike force. Happens every year.

 

[davenport]

New day so we haven't signed Barker if he'd have gone for say 500k you'd say a good piece of business but at 1M we'd all be saying we've paid over the odds. The facts are that we've signed 4 decent championship player for (if reports are to believed) approx 350K more than D***y have paid for an average centre back.

In addition to this they are about to wave goodbye to approx 4.2M by selling Dickinson (100k) and paying off Davis. Factor in the fact they are apparently paying approx 20k a week to Carrol and even more to Savage who has probably got 1 season left in him which position would you rather be in. Clough is having to get rid of a lot of crap at great expense to make D***y viable and in general is replacing alot of his squad with like for like players.

Don't get me wrong I don't like Martha and I'd have loved to have seen Blackstock, Gunter, Fox and Mckenna in by now but the fact that we are not paying over the odds for players is the right approach that won't see us make the same mistakes of old. I'm certain we'll see more players coming in but I'd rather be patient and end up with quality than get involved in stupid bidding wars to end up with drivel.

 

[andover red]

So we haven't strengthened?

We made a lot of loan signings last year to improve the woefully weak squad we brought up from League 1. We all knew that loan signings were temporary - a short term fix to keep us in this league. You therefore cannot really compare our squad strength now with the end of last season, as half of that squad never belonged to us.

Now compare our current squad with the one that began last season. We have strengthened considerably. We have lost a number of players (young and old) that were never going to make an impact. We have signed (on a permanent basis) Paul Anderson, Lee Camp, Dele Adebola and David McGoldrick - all for a total of less than £1.5M. And a squad with little Championship experience now has a season in this league behind them.
