Just because we don’t know them doesn’t mean our manager or scouting network don’t. We have signed a lot of players but our manager stated he wanted players, stronger and more technical and we have that.
The problem here is that we have signed players who fans don’t know. The myth is that only proven championship players will make it in this league this is false. Now we could have gone out and signed Gayle at the start of the window, paid £10 million for him and £60grand in wages but that would have been a huge amount of our budget and we wouldn’t have got players to cover other areas. That £60 grand in wages covers at least 5 of our New signings.
The market in England is broken. Signing quality proven championship players costs too much now unless you have parachute payments. The manager wanted strength in midfield and he got that. However, if we had paid colbacks wages we wouldn’t have signed other players. And we would be stuck with a good player who is suspended every few weeks. The opinion of the manager and those above was that the squad last year was not good enough by a long way and needed to be changed.
We need to calm down we have had a decent window we now need to let the manager do his thing. If we lose on Saturday it is not the end of the world (although I feel that it will be to some of you). None of us know how all of the signings will turn out so let’s not pretend that we do. This is not football manager We can’t just go out and pay big wages.
I know someone will come back with the quality (how do we know the players we have are not quality)not quantity but again, the manager was not impressed with the squad and wanted the changes. 2 or 3 quality (in our opinion) players would have left us a long way short of what the manager wanted. I also know that most of this will fall on deaf ears as many have already written off the season, burned their season tickets and thrown their shirts in to the Trent.

Honestly, reading some of then stuff on here is no different to being on Twitter.


That is not true, it's just the same 3 or 4 posters constantly moaning and beating the owners at every opputunity. The majority are behind the owners and will SUPPORT the new players who have been bought into the club.
Panic on the streets of Croydon, Derby, Sheffield, Leicestershire.
