    Seemed a quiet week until the the past 2 days and it's reminded me of what a complete shambles we are.

    Idiotic decisions time and time again.

    Perhaps I'm missing something here. We've shifted out a centre-back and a bunch of strikers who weren't doing the business. Getting Williams and Vaz Te in the first place were obviously bad decisions, but moving them on is surely the right thing to do, isn't it?
    Hooray, I thought it was just me!

    All this fuss about Watt is a joke, he really isn't that good! Beats a couple of players then tries to beat everyone else and loses it every time, doesn't pass, hardly ever scores, you'd think he was the next George Best on here!

    As for Vaz Te, I said to you all when I saw him in the changing room at Hull he really didn't look like he wanted to be there and to be honest, he's been rubbish anyway.

    So they've shifted two players that are probably on a good wedge, what's so wrong with that?

    Like everyone else, I sincerely hope someone else is coming in, let's hope we've freed up the money to do that now!
    Essex_Al in relentless pro-regime support shocker.
    Here we go again!

    My comments are relating to players not the club, but you spin it how you like!

    Fair point. The sad thing is TW is still one of our top scorers. RVT and Williams didn't contribute so no loss... Well TW and RVT have left and we don't have even one replacement so we are net negative there. Tex is hopefully better than Williams so we can call that positive.

    If, and for me it's a big if, we replace TW and RVT with something better then you are right to be positive. But right now, with the situation and track record, I struggle to see how reducing our options (including a starting 11 player last weekend) is a good move right now.

    This is right up there with the decision to sell Yann. Epic fuck up all over again.

    Only thing is they only agreed to sell him after he turned down a new deal and basically stuck two fingers up at us ..Yann deal was struck with Bournemouth before Jan window ... when did RD take over ??
    Fuck off you knob, Yann went because he didn't agree with the direction RD wanted to take the club and they made it clear they didn't want him and that's a fact!
    Correct me if I am wrong, but I understood it that the club offered Yann a contract which he chose not to sign and then decided to leave.

    Contract was reduced terms on his then current deal. Would you take a pay cut to stay somewhere you aren't wanted? (No sarcasm)

    Kermo was on RDs list to dump when he bought us. Along with Stephens and Hamer.

    'So they've shifted two players that are probably on a good wedge, what's so wrong with that?'

    They obviously referring to the club. I'm guessing from that you don't see any issue in the fact that the people moving on a player 'on a good wedge' are the same people who signed him only a couple of months ago and are already giving up on him. Money well spent that.

    As for 'freeing up the money', Roland is a multi-millionaire and it's widely known that our budget is pitifully small, far too small to compete at the level we should. Having to junk off a game-changing striker to stay within a budget that's too small and we don't actually need to stay within is insanity.

    But you heard KM, new players will have played regularly, not injury prone, and be fit enough to play at least 30 games a season, and you still want someone who is good as well, I think you are being unreasonable

    You are correct jd reduced terms and a short contract due to his age. We now give 18 months to unfit has beens and 4.5 years to a 29 year old. Still our Colin will defend it as great business.

    Roy DeAlien reckons we're getting Kike on loan... Not too sure I believe him...

    Lets face it, regarding Watt, Celtic wanted rid, SL wanted rid (he wasn't getting a game!) and now we want rid. He is obviously a disruptive influence and he's not that good. Reading the posts on here you'd think he was a world beater, he isn't!

    Vaz Te is also not very good, but I reckon he has orchestrated this move himself.

    As for your last comment, I live in hope that the money saved frees up enough to bring others in, if not, I'm inclined to agree with you.

    Could be some sense in this. Especially if 'Boro are getting Rhodes.

    So sell Vaz Te. And loan Watt. Yes lets remove all the natural goalsvorers. To the Belgians....you absolutely horrible shits. You are killing us slowly. May you rot in hell.
  • The real issue with this fiasco is this. We have shifted out Watt and Vaz Te, KAG and Pigott. Leaving Makienok and Reza and a 17 year old kid who is injured. I assume that they think they have a striker deal done but as we all know it never done until it's done. Should it fall through and god knows we are shit at getting things across the line. We are left in a relegation battle with Reza and Mak.

    These people running us havnt got a freaking clue.

    Boro have agreed to pay Blackburn £9m for Jordan Rhodes. Looks like a done deal.
    Blackburn have signed his natural replacement on loan so they're sorted!

    And this is coming from someone who had season tickets at the old valley, selhurst, Upton Park and back at the valley. Fuck you Roland.
  • Why is everyone forgetting that we have Verokele as well? We really need a goal scorer, but a fit Igor is a real asset

    THAT is how you do it - bring in someone BEFORE you sell We sell first & then find that we cant buy anyone as they know we have money to spend/ 3 days to go to the end of the transfer window & I bet they haven't a clue who to bring in - which is why, Essex Al Addicks Addict, we are a tad annoyed on here. its not that we are getting rid of natural talent (TW) and an experienced Championship striker (vaz Te) but that as it stands we don't have replacements' for them.............and if you seriously think that on Monday morning 2 experienced, championship strikers will be turning up at sparrows lane than you have not been on this planet during the pasr 2 years.

    We'll sign no one. Fans will be given the standard "we were close but couldn't get the deals over the line" bullshit.

    Fuck Roland.

    Fuck Katrien

    No interest in anything they say or do until they go.

    I thought the rumour was the Watt money would be used to strengthen the squad. But if he goes on loan on january 29th, we have no extra money and no real time to scour the scouts reports for a decent replacement.
    Katrien, what's wrong with this picture?

    What a shambles this club has become, get rid of 2 strikers ( if rumours are true) and have no replacements, despite being in bottom 2 and facing a 6 pointer....if you wrote this stuff no one would believe you!!
