Appreciate Meire is damned whatever she does, but there doesn't seem a coherent strategy here, simply a blind panic to try and get us out of this mess before another summer of piss-poor signings. And given the people signed are ones they have previously discarded and who we are not having to fight off other clubs to get, it makes you wonder if the whole scouting system has imploded.

there is some logic: cheap, experienced players on short term deals or loans and a big prayer that they all stay fit despite some injury concerns .. all areas have been strengthened .. Johnson & Williams at the back, Poyet in the middle and Vaz Te up front along with the recalled Harriott .. a little patience will be required to see how the new pieces fit the puzzle

But we have strengthened in exactly the places most needed, not including the manager of course..

Not disagreeing with that, but some of these are players who RD/KM etc decided not that long ago were not good enough. It's not as if they have been turning in outstanding performances in the time since they were jettisoned. I would be fascinated to know the strategy to what we are doing. Which, of course, as a mere customer I have no right to know.
Hopefully people will see that is just a repeat (literally in the case of Johnson) of last Jan where we panic buy the older more experienced players we should have added to the squad in the summer.
If we had we'd have had cover for all the injuries and might be higher in the table.
But come next summer they will revert to buying unknown and untested cheap players from abroad.

I know we are now the (very low) summit of RD's network, but surely there is some dross one or two of his other clubs want to offload to a CEO without any knowledge of footballers? It's January 5 and we haven't signed a single Belgian.
Fraeye will be hopeful of adding at least one more player to his squad before the weekend.
Not bad, brought in 3 new(?) players, 2 youth players back from loans, he made this statement above, and yet when he joined us he said the squad was good enough.
Grant Holt? .. another old warhorse .. loan to Wolves finished 2/1 .. hasn't played that often, might be rusty but still a possibility for a short term deal ?

I don't think that Karel is the man to take us forward but he had to say that. He couldn't say 'I intend to bring in six first-teamers in the window' with a dozen games to play (until the window).

Issues here. His squad? Really? One he was handed and has little say in, more like.
And I am hopeful of dinner with Natalie Portman before the weekend as well. Suspect I will get as much say in that as Fraeye will in who he signs, if anyone.

I think the one thing we have all agreed on is that the final irony with Fraeye slagging off the players is that they are all "his". Open secret that he has done all the network scouting.
Most of the signings in the past two years are Fraeye's men.
I bet he swore like a Belgian when he realised the dross he had been sending the way of Luzon etc was now going to be his to work with. Still not convinced he had as much input as was claimed though.

He has a split personality.
Thus head coach Fraeye can slag off scout Fraeye...

He had no influence ,if he did why is not playing players that he supposed to have scouted and brought to the club ....more nonsense

I have the first request to use the "protest fund".
Charlton Life restraining order against this Clown. I'm sure if we find the right lawyer we can get him banned from the internet completely.

Looking forward to getting over-excited about re-signing him on a 6-month loan in 2018...
