few club employees / fake ITK posters about to go awol... reputations in tatters.

Tony Mowbray / HSH / Owen Coyle / SEM / Steve Kean / Kentaro / Venkys.

Same shit different day.

Seen this type of BS posted a couple of times today.

The few posters talking about people having their 'reputations in tatters' because seemingly no transfers have come off need to seriously get a sense of perspective. This is a transfer thread on a forum not a feckin trial by jury.

Wind your necks before you make yourselves sound any more foolish.

Absolutely.

I  was just trying to be helpful to the lad, I like his passion on here and FB.

 

 

Fair enough - thought you were taking the p**s. Obviously wrong, apologies.

I'll hazard a guess that his English is better than your Spanish though.

Apart from creating our only goal.

Yeah, apart from that he was shit. He has good-will in the pot but too many performances like that and Holtby will rightly deserve a chance.

Theres no way that Rhodes and Gestede could have been broken up, we had a 40 goal a season strikeforce. 

Dack cant be dropped, like Rhodes he is a guaranteed goal scorer.

Maybe not - but he needs to do more than he did against Forest. I thought he was ineffective and kept trying to do too much and losing the ball.

He's German. What did you expect?  I loved his enthusiasm though and the fact that he can speak coherently

I know - I was being facetious, although I think he describes himself as being half-English. 

Really interesting interview...slightly dodgy accent but seems genuinely excited and looking forward to playing for us. Welcome Lewis!

If your posts today are reflective of you having a good day at the bookies and enjoying a nice white (red does rule though) god help us all if you have a few losses and a dodgy bottle. ?

Myhill must be closer to 40 than 30.

Underwhelmed, yet again.

Underwhelmed is your resting state Mercer - until you've had a win at the bookies and a few glasses of good red of course.....

it was this line that killed me “We have spoken a lot about the recruitment department and wanting it to grow".

Pretty much an acknowledgement that our recruitment dept is pants.

 

An ITK'er informs me he took this photo recently of the Recruitment Departments company vehicle out on a scouting mission....

“But as I sit here today I’m relatively okay with it but we do need some defensive options that can compete with the players we’ve got.”

No Tony. We need some defenders to dislodge and replace the likes of Mulgrew. 

The young lads can provide the numbers. We need quality.

Maybe so but, come on, he's hardly likely to state 'we need to get some defenders in to replace the current motley crew' is he?

When you click on 'quote' at the bottom of someones post to reply it's the 4th option on the top, the S with the line through it  Enjoy!.

There are a few that don't have chants, Lennihan being another (unless I'm not aware). 

Off the top of my head there's got to be a shout for 'It's Raining Men' by The Weather Girls for him:

It's raining men Lenihan, hallelujah, it's raining men Lenihan, amen
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet
It's raining men Lenihan, hallelujah
It's raining men Lenihan... 

etc. etc.

Might need to work on the bit about getting soaking wet - sounds a bit too homo-erotic for me....

Because he doesnt want to be found out, the fraud that he is

Just like last pre-season eh when we gave Everton a proper bloody nose. That was extremely fraudulent...  

It's quite refreshing to see people so enthused by the current crop of youngsters. Feels like we might be entering one of those periods when we have a glut of them making the breakthrough which can only be a good thing.

This isn't a normal business though - it's Venky's.....

Hello Guys, hope you are all well. 

my views on signings so far. 

Bradley Johnson, very good signing and I wasn't expect someone of his experience. Great to get him on a free considering his experience and knowledge of this league

Stewart Downing, wasn't a fan of this signing but can understand why Mowbray wanted him use. same as Johnson. 

Sam Gallagher, pleased with this signing, I know that Mowbray has wanted him for over 12 months back here aswell. 

on the potential signings on Walton and Adarabioyo:- 

Walton, im undecided on tbh. I don't think he was Mowbray 1st or 2nd choice for goalkeeper slot. Hopefully we still trying to get an experience keeper in which we need. Hope the Walton deal is loan to buy deal. 

Adarabioyo, I think he will be good signing. experience the championship last season and will only grow with his experience last season. 

what do we need after those two signings

experience keeper. Im still hoping for Forster from Southampton or Adrian the ex West Ham Keeper on a free. I'm pleased we have hopefully move on from Scott Carson. I wanted earlier in the summer but after the 1875 podcasts on the keeper situation I was very much put off by the stats on Carson. 

Centre back. If we could get Liam Cooper I would be delight cos that the type of signing we need in. Seems that what Mowbray is saving his money for and partly why Raya was sold aswell as him wanted out which he did. 

I did want a right back but I'm happy with the current 3 options there. I did want Sam Byram but he want to Norwich who got a great deal for him. Obujado was another I want but went Sheff Wed before Bruce left

Welcome back Chaddy.

Walton for Raya - okay I guess. He's certainly not a downgrade.

Walton and a.n.other keeper - preferable.

If we only get one keeper in then I definitely want to see a minimum of two decent defenders in to off-set this.

I think the whole thing says a lot more about Sparks Rover than the other fella.

If I didn't know better I'd suggest it smacks of jealousy and petulance...

Just now, Sparks Rover said:

No, just put it out there if you know or shut up if you are making things up.

I think he's making it all up . . Just no detail at all.

...and I think you're making it up about him making it up, there's just no detail at all.

You know what they say about opinions and arseholes.

I'd see Walton as a sort of straight swap for Raya which means I'd still like an oldie with a couple more seasons in him so there's a genuine challenge for the No 1 position.

Hope it’s someone better, he was Wigan’s keeper for the last two seasons and outperformed by Raya in both 

Although his name is a bit underwhelming I'm not sure that you can definitively say that given that two seasons ago they finished above us and conceded less goals?

Currently listening to these guys..I'm a sucker for Indie with hints of Joy Division...
