Favourites to sign Rotherham CB Morgan on a free - #Nixon

Edited May 3, 201511 yr by Ratwhite

Anyone who genuinely isn't worried about our situation is kidding themselves. Owner wants out won't invest any more and we therefore have no money to play with. Nobody wants to invest the serious sums required. And the two most advanced proposals have fallen through.

 

We aren't playing the transfer game of waiting till the last minute or bargaining. We are broke and unless someone puts money in we will go with what we've got and fight relegation again.

Heskey on TalkSport sports bar this week and said he'd agreed a contract with Bolton and would be joining them pre-season shortly. 

We have a few pre-season games with non-league clubs. I'm sure we can pick up a few players from there.

Its worked for us in the past

I'm sure we have a youth keeper or two, and we can always bring in emergency loan keepers if we are really stuck.

 

We're not really in a position where we can have two quality players for any one position any more. We just have to hope for a less injury-plagued season.

I think there's a sensible position inbetween having 2 top quality keepers and chucking in a young kid or depending upon emergency loans then hoping.

I think I'm missing something here. Has every other club done all their transfer dealings?

 

I must have missed that avalanche of moves.

Ross Fitzsimons is 21, more than old enough to play as cover if injuries happen. He has already been on the bench for the first team on several occasions.

That's what they said about Jon Snow

He was still on Channel 4 news with his comedy socks last night.

Correct me if I'm wrong but he's never played a single minute of league football.

 

Fine on the bench once the season is essentially over.

We could just loan someone until November then

We can't afford experience

Every goal keeper we've had, at some point in time has never played a single minute of league football

Hate to be the one to have to point this out to you... but we are essentially broke. We need to make cutbacks, and I'm saying that's an easy area to make a cutback. You can easily loan an emergency keeper, there are rules in place for that kind of thing outside of the transfer window. That's not the case with every other position.

Thank the fuck you aren't running the show, that's all I can say.

No way we'll start the season with Fitzsimmons as backup. I reckon we'll sign an experienced keeper, probably aged 30+ and on a much smaller wage than Lonergan was on. 

To the doom and gloom merchants - this proves Anything Is Possible

What happened to that Gilkes fella that was playing for Blackpool in the prem?

There's a difference between doom and gloom and just being realistic to the position we find ourselves in. I think I'm in the latter....just.

Burnley reserve keeper I think

Perhaps.

 

My point was that there are other positions we need to strengthen first.

Striker discussing terms with the club Nixon says he's decent considering our circumstances and he wants to come to the club.

Not often I agree with our resident Yank, but he's reet this time.

Does Nixon do anything else with his time but speculate endlessly and usually incorrectly about who we're about to sign?

Oi pal give it a rest, since Maximus left it's all we've got to cling onto.

Remind me again how old was Jussi when he made his debut off the bench as a back up?

 

We are where we are, Fitzsimmons is fine on the bench, I'd rather spend the wages in other area's & bring in a short term loan if need be, IF, or when needed.

 

That Swindon away game when Jussi replaced Branagan still leaves its mental scare, if any of us gave up on him then we'd have lost out on the great keeper we had for nearly a decade.

 

Edit: last season was a disgusting waste of money on keepers, Kenny was unnecessary & a complete waste of limited resources, Amos was a rare example of circumstances that may be proven necessary if he becomes our new first choice. 5 Fookin' keepers in a season! Thank God you're not running the show either!

 

Think about it.
