I’m certain it’ll be striker for the u23’s, nought to fret about.

FFP crap !! Crawl back under your cave batman. We’ve fell foul of FFP before and there is no chance our gem of a manager will let it happen again.

Amen, clearly you see the light rather than dark.

Just like how your ramblings change from one day to the next. Shit happens and things change, I’d like to see how you would perform with a microphone shoved under your nose everyday. Continuity would be very difficult.

I mean I’ve read pages of this topic and you lot just seem to want to bicker with each other without looking at the bigger picture. It’s either all Venky’s fault or Tony is a waste of space and useless. Maybe we sold our goalkeeper so we could comply to FFP and top up our already healthy budget. We are clearly gonna spend 10 mill this window once we have bought a centre half, if you include wages for the free transfers then that is healthy budget for a club with our income. We are obviously very well managed and I for one am glad the club is being run this way.

I find social media really frustrating! I really want to like it and get involved but in the end it just really winds me up. Maybe I just don’t like people that much?

Imagine if Mourinho wasn’t good enough to coach Ronald or Hazard purely because he hadn’t played professionally. My god your way of thinking is very blinkered. A coach can only polish a turd so many times before that turd becomes unpolishable.

What info do you have to be so critical of Benson. Please don’t say he is young /not a professional player. If that was the case some of the greatest coaches/Managers in world football wouldn’t exist. Unless you are/were a qualified coach who as watched him at close quarters then I’m not sure you are in a position to pass judgement on Benson. I’d love to hear your feedback on this.

I definitely used to post on here under the name spackwaft, I’m sure I didn’t get banned though....or maybe I did?

I remember you from Twitter. Did you not become a Man City fan.

One thing I learnt at a very early age is to never pass judgement on somebody without being in a position where you are close enough to know what their breath smells like.

Sent a photo of Darlow and Bradley Johnson, she says is neither of them. She reckons it was deffo a footballer purely for the reason he was wearing a dsquared t-shirt. She really is clueless!!

Rather tall athletic bloke seen hovering around Stanley house last night/this morning. Sat and had his breakfast with 2 older men in suits. Last seen half a hour ago heading off in the passenger seat of a dark car. Source - my sister. She said he had dark hair and looked about 30.

Anyone off upto Barrow today?

Also Rodwell was brought in as a defender not a midfielder. Johnson was brought in to bolster our midfield. Rodwell is yet to be replaced, when he is I’m sure it’ll be an upgrade.

My god you really are a glass half empty kind of bloke aren’t ya! TM obviously wants a more commanding keeper than Raya, I trust his judgement. Downing is a like for like replacement for Conway but with a much better pedigree. Johnson is definitely an upgrade on any of our midfielders, so that can only be a good thing. In regards to Gallagher, TM had the chance to work at close quarters with him for a few months and obviously liked what he saw, that is good enough for me. Hopefully on top of that there is gonna be at least one defender through the door. I’m feeling like the glass should be more half full than half empty my great pal.

Even if Venky’s are gonna splash the cash I’m sure Tony just like myself will be worried about FFP. I’d much rather us play it safe and not suffer a punishment further down the line. Our squad is quite strong, Chapman especially will be like a new signing. If we could loan a decent centre half I’d be happy with that.

He’s blocked me on twitter for no apparent reason. So I thought if I could contact him on here I could maybe get him to unblock me, thanks anyway.
