For all the good business that was done in the Summer the transfer panal simply had time to make these signings. l believe that the wheels move far too slow, too slow for January. I agree with what BD says or understand it about not being ready for the Premier, because the way it works is baffling, confusing and just silly. Why does it take so many people to sort out a transfer? You know what they say about too many people in the kitchen spoils the broth and I certainly believe this is the case here.
Yes I understand BD shouldn't get a blank cheque book but please back the man, he is clearly a good manager at this level and deserves to be given what he wants, if it means that he can't because of the price or wages etc, at least tell the guy how much he has to spend if anything, or at least explain why it can't or won't happen. I am sick and tired of Forest putting in shitty bids for real quality players that we are clearly not going to get, is everyone else stupid? And we are very clever? no not really, past January windows support this.
Give BD the bloody money, I hate all the w**king about from this transfer panal, it's stupid. You will say we did great business with Gunter etc, and yes I realise this, but who is to say BD couldn't have done this too? We must remember that the last January window was a failure and it could have been so different come the end of the season if BD hadn't been in charge or things hadn't gone our way, who would we be blaming now? The transfer panal certainly risked our status in the championship last year, It definately papered over the cracks when we brought the players we did in the Summer. BD said himself they were the ones we were supposed to have made in January. There is nothing wrong with our manager (We are in great hands) or our chairman but there is with our transfer panal it's crap and pointless. The Panal are again showing their inadequacies in the January window, and we simply cannot keep this structure working (It doesn't work now) within the Prem if we were to get there, it wouldn't work, they are too slow and we cannot afford that in the Prem has most clubs have to make signings in January to survive etc. What do our panal do in January? Lets be honest here they wait and put in pointless bids, stupid, and if anything is going to hold us back from going to the next level whether this season or next it's this!
This is not a dig at anyone but the transfer panal and my own personal view on them, I wish to see the manager get a budget for himself to buy the players or the transfer panal step up to the plate and make it work, basically give me a reason to eat my words. Right now I feel sorry for BD He and every fan knows what we need but the panal seem oblivious to it, which brings me back to last January as an example, did they really know what they were doing? I guess not. They risked our club being a Division 1 club again without knowing for sure we would avoid relegation, so I can understand that BD would be pissed off, I would be if I was him. Now under BD's great management and granted great signings in the summer we are up there, but again the panal seem so slow to get anything done when 1 or 2 more players could see us stay in automatic and get up to the Prem which is worth around 60 million or leave it and be in the playoffs at the end of the season. Granted I didn't expect us to even make the playoffs at the start of the season (None of us did) but now we are in the position, lets be decisive and get the players in, even if we miss out in the playoffs, automatic or whatever I am sure they will be invaluable next season as BD is trying to build a team for the Prem. This is something that needs to be sorted because it's a pain in the arse and simply doesn't work. Give BD a chance and give him a budget that will not break the bank, what's wrong with that?
Flagman edit - Panel, not panal. Was driving me nuts!
