Accidentally deleted it so carry on...

I'm getting a little nervous that we will end up 'going with what we've got'

No chance, Medo already gone, we might ' go with what we have left' though.

 

It seems that NL actually has a plan, Medo gone, think any of spearing, CYL and bogdan could follow, freeing up money to close some deals.

I wouldn't want to be the one to tell Lennon if that was the case.

Already sounds like he's getting fed up.

This is exactly why I'm surprised the club chose Neil Lennon, there could be trouble ahead unless the club back him.

Nowhere in that atricle does it mention that the club isn't backing him.

The BN articles may not say that, but there seem to be a couple of hints that NL is feeling frustrated with somone and not just the transfer/loan market in general. Disturbing comments.

Where's the 'couple of hints'?

He's said he's frustrated that deals he was hoping to have had in place by now haven't materialised.

There's loads of reasons why deals fall through or get delayed before they get over the line.

I can't find one that says the club aren't backing him.

indeed

 

folk are talking like we've not been struggling to complete transfers in recent years

 

even under allardyce it was hard work

 

the previous manager would've signed dawson, juke and probably even barrow who is now at swansea given the finances to do so

 

this is where we're at

 

we need to beg, borrow, 'sign shite' or get lucky

I'm sure when he came here Lennon knew the financial situation. However, I do think those comments are aimed at the club rather than the situation in general.

 

Iles and Nixon both have been hinting at some internal frustrations recently, though Nixon just seems bitter in general!

Maybe some of the frustration could stem from Lennon being in arguably the same marketplace as he was at Celtic, but now doesn't have the benefit of annual Champions League income?

I think the frustration is knowing how close we are to giving the top 6 a real go, just 2-3 good signings could get us in to the play offs.

Let's not giddy. We were poor Saturday. We are doing better but we are not a top 6 side or even close

How's the juke getting on at Burnley?

 

Worth a loan punt?

But 3 signings could get us to be a top 6 side if they're the right ones I reckon

I think 3 is too low. 5 or 6 yes. I am struggling to buy into Heskey at the moment. Eidur is doing well but needs a pacey striker making runs imo

I'm sure Heskey will only start when we have little alternative

 

I think 3 more good signings puts us into the better teams in the league.

 

I don't think we will challenge this season but I think it would give us the "form" of a top 6 side which would bode well for next season and hopefully keep the management team interested

 

5 or 6 good'uns just aint happening...if it did, we could go on a run and challenge this season, but that seems unrealistic

But 3 signings could get us to be a top 6 side if they're the right ones I reckon

I think with 3 good ones we would go very very close, as for big e that were not a top 6 team, take out freedmans 11 games and we already are a top 6 team and that's on the back of some bad luck with injuries. Big E stick to Ice hockey fella.????

“I inherited a squad with four or five defensive midfield players and I didn’t feel we needed all that"

 

Well done Dougie.

one signing can change a teams season

 

3 can utterly transform it

“I inherited a squad with four or five defensive midfield players and I didn’t feel we needed all that"

 

Well done Dougie.

 

 

who are the 4 or 5?

 

it was 670 a few weeks back

Even if we had the best side in the division as a result of the window, it is a tough ask to make the top 6. Need over 2 points a game between now and the end of the season. Whilst Lennon clearly wants to go for it there is an argument that we save a bit of cash for next season when we start on the same as everyone else points wise.

The cracks have only been papered over. Yes It is better and yes there is a feel good factor but we are way off yet. You and jules are just giddy because you have the bug again

Never lost the bug, never will, seriously I am 100% sure we would have minimum reached the play offs with this squad if Lennon had started the season with us.

i see its Rasiak's birthday today.

 

worth a punt?

The squad would have a good chance at top 6 or better IMO with Lennon in charge for a full season. But you are right that we are a way off having the quality to claw back the points between now and the end of the season. Especially given our injury problems.

I think Big E should stick to Egg Chucking and get back to his day job instead of fucking about on here talking shit
