JUST AN OBSERVATION

Sun Dec 17, 2023 12:02 am

Put together in the summer, we brought in frees and loans,. Why do you think we got these frees and loans?

I'll tell you why, it's becuse nobody else wanted them!

Just what do you expect this side to do?

We have played some good, winning games but with the squad we have, many of these players can play well sometimes, but they do not have the quality to perform week in week out.

We played today with 5 important players out injured and we were lucky today to only lose by three goals.

Three of our best players whatever you think did cost us money Ramsey, Goutas and Siopsis.

Take it from me, from what I have been told January is going to be an exciting time and I am really looking forward to quality players coming in, as well as getting Ramsey and O'Dowda back in the team. These are two players that would have made a big difference, but even with them in the team we would still have struggled.

January with Keiffer Moore in the team, along with other quality players, will also make a big difference.

Onwards and upward :ayatollah: :bluescarf:

Well said Roger.

We could only sign frees and free loans. But if you remember, most of us said it was a good transfer window.

Now because we’re on a bad run, people are trying to make out they always said it was a bad window.

I’m still happy with how the season is going.

If back in August you offered me top half going into the Christmas period, I’d have bitten your hand off.

Bad day today and we’re on a poor run, but there needs be perspective.

Roll on January.

If what I heard today is true then:-

Our squad on 31st of January will be a lot stronger than is was on 31st December

Maybe too late to make a difference this season but next season we will be challenging

Expect at least one “surprising” exit as well

Hey , were City until we die even with new .loan , shite signings .

My worries is how money is spent .

Need a keeper .

Centre back like Kipree.

Striker


Forward positioned midfielder who can forward pass accurately instead of 3 identical holding midfielders , that see passing sideways/ back )

Just to get into the spirit :D my "surprise" departure would be Robinson although i would not be shocked if Collins was not offered a new deal so could sign for someone else in the new year.

wouldn't be surprised to see Rimonhota, Sawyers & Adams leaving either

Been saying the same thing for a while.

Bulut may have "brought in 9 of his players" as we keep hearing but for the most part they're still freebies & loans that weren't wanted elsewhere or by their own teams & hopefully will be able to get a few players that others may want after the January window. He needs time, not the knee jerk reaction we see from some who seem to expect world beating players to form a world beating team. Yesterday was certainly awful but it's 24 hours later & hopefully we see some measured words rather than words of the sky is falling type.

That has been mentioned by another poster; but it would surely have to be for a big fee to take him away and I'd still be surprised...? :?

Our track record selling our better players for a substantial fee is a pretty poor one. I really hope he stays, probably our most consistent player over the last 2 or 3 seasons.
