I beat Atalanta

[quote user="Duffman"]I wasnt implying that LM is chris.   If you looked at the highlighted part of her message that I quoted, thats the bit I was referring to as being Chris or Fozzy or whatever he calls himself each day.[/quote]I''m Lisa Marie - its Wednesday isn''t it?

[quote user="Disco Dale"]Thats not allowed anymore I dont think.There is a certain miles radius to recruit players from. [/quote]I wasn''t aware of that. We still get loads of scouts checking local sides out especially Southampton & Leicester for some reasonWhere was the London taining facility, dont remember thatThe moaners dont seem to full of ideas......

Pretty football pleaseI can get results from the paper

Just registered as Lisa-Marie....... Now thats FOUR names to look for old fella

[quote user="Arthur Whittle"]1- Read signature!!!!, i''ve also asked you in previous posts if you are IBA or I BEAT ATLANTA. What made you think otherwise?? [/quote]Hi Binner. Does it annoy you people have multiple usernames? Come on Pete, put the old fella out of his misery.Is Ralph the same as IBA and Badger?Long may Delia reign and annoy the moaners....... Unlikely anyone will ever come along with enough money to buy her shares so I''d say you''re stuck for a while...... YEARSBut then you can just moan day and night about the new majority shareholder.....

[quote user="Barclay_Boy"]Give Roeder the beneift of the doubt?????????????? Better still, give him 3 million quid, then see how long it takes him to get a striker in. HE CAN''T DO IT WITHOUT A TRANSFER KITTY! [/quote]And who would he get for £3m? Already made his valuation on Ameobi abundantly clear..... who is available, would come, and not disrupt the dressing room with a £20k pay packet??

Showed some skill and had a strnge ability to dispossess an oppo player by wrapping his leg around from behind. Medium pace, bit lightweight and generally a bit naive..... played very much like a young player who had been moved up too early..... except I dont think he''ll improve. I wont miss him.Rioja amigo

Cue jokes about the board already have.....Just what would you all do to improve the club? Its easy to say "get the cheque book out" when its not your money, so what else could be done?Or is it after all, just money dependant ?

[quote user="CambridgeCanary"]   and the £56million sale price? [/quote] Thats just simple maths

[quote user="steve o"]   How do you know his transfer budget is 6 million, [/quote]Was. Read.

[quote user="steve o"]  How do you know his transfer budget is 6 million, that is obviously a complete guess, the Chief Executive sorts out the price for the player with his opposite, the manager has a budget but does not say how much we get for a player or how much we pay, [/quote]yeah ok.... you''re right. I know nothing

[quote user="Be Smart "]Delia one last thing, if you Really love the club sell Now [/quote]To who? You? Listen carefully children.Roeder put a valuation on Taylor. Below the max funds that were available. Way below. The bid was rejected. It was increased by 30%. Thirty percent. It was refused. That was Roeders top valuation. We walked away. It was not the board that blocked any transfer.Ameobi was being touted for £3.5m. Roeders valuation ROEDERS, not the boards, was far less. Unless the amount acceptable by Newcastle comes down to a level that Roeder deems acceptable then we walk away.Roeder is a grown man. he''s a professional with his finger on the pulse of player values. He''s not some puppet of the board. its not his style. He''s opinionated and outspoken. if he was being shafted by the the board he''d walk in a heartbeat. Dont taint him with your own snivelling yes man mentalityThe transfer budget he was given on taking the job was £6m to INCLUDE the initail 12 month contracts. Factor into this any savings on the squad he inherited. you do the maths. Its very complex and extremely flexible.Some seasons we''re good, some we''re shit, some we''re mediocre. Its life. get over it

[quote user="Loan City Fc "] she is bleeding this club to death .[/quote]Clarify? Specifics? Just how do you bleed a PLC without going to jail?

[quote user="Neil Cluckcaster"] Oh great...the old saviour crap again...... Do you think she was the only prospective buyer....or just first through the gate via her celebrity status?... Stop the apologist bleating for Gods sake....it''s been done to death already and found to be pure myth. [/quote]Yeah they''re still queuing around the block..... must be hard for her to hide all the take over bids on a PLC.... doing a great job of that isn''t she?

[quote user="jas the barclay king"]Read Gunnys book if you havent already.. he DOES speak well of Chase... the players all thought Chase was a kind and Generous man... they were all gutted when he left jas :) [/quote]LOL

Martin O''Neil speaks very well of Robert Chase

[quote user="jas the barclay king"] However it was our board who agreed to the "get out clauses" for Desmond Tutu and the little Mercenary when they signed... in todays world with the club having Premiership asperations thats unforgiveable! it forces the managers hand and he has to accept that his best stars will be sold under his nose.... [/quote]Correct, they agreed to the clauses. They didn''t insert them. No clause. No player. If I were a player I''d want it in my contract too...... even though as a punter I think they are ludicrous and render the contract all but uselessYour solution would have been...... what?

[quote user="Arthur Whittle"]Dont expect an answer CA, [/quote]As there are no more questions.... I''m off. For six.... long.... luverly months...... cheerio  :o)

[quote user="Jonny 5"]The most interesting thing about the interview was how much he laid into Croft, who may of deserved it.Made comments like he will be lucky to play next game etc. and although he didn''t directly mention Lee''s name, it was fairly obvious who he was talking about. [/quote]Roeder also concedes who gets into position to make the chances...... unfortunately Fozzy, Bell, Hula & Spock don''t. Croft does.

[quote user="TheboyMark"]  I wince when I think about just who we''ll unveil in the next 7 days.   [/quote]Well..... if you''re a very very good boy.......... :o)

[quote user="Old Boy"][quote user="percyp"]YES........but at least they had a striker who scored a goal.......we didn''t......simple as![/quote]YES........but they lost, at home. simple as.Actually "simple as" is a stupid phrase in this context. It''s not simple - I''m sure Lupoli and Hoolihan and Koroma will score goals, and there''s no striker in this league who doesn''t miss a high percentage of chances. If he didn''t, he wouldn''t be in this league, he''d be in the Premership. Simple as...... You panic if you want, I''m saving mine until it''s really needed.[/quote]LOL ditto

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ......how''d that feel mate? The mighty Donny!!ha ha ha ha haI dare you.....

[quote user="Canaries in Bed"] I think strikers are too expensive at this moment, we need to pay the money thou................ if we are to get anywhere in this league and I believe this will happen this week. My new top choice with the way the team plays would be Cameron Jerome, it is possible due to the sheer amount of quality strikers they have. [/quote]To answer your first point......you would really pay over the odds? Isn''t it exactly that course of action that creates the Brady''s of this world? I respectfully disagree and am extremely proud that Roeder has prevented the board from paying over the top and sticking to principles. **** the premiership and **** Sky too.Second point - pencil in ThursdayJerome isn''t the answer. His height doesn''t convert into presence.... he has pace and I''ll grant you some potential..... but he''s not what we need. I''m disappointed Martin was farmed out. I watched him with some interest last season and was very impressed. At the end of the day Paul made a recommendation and I must respect that as he knows his stuff. There is more to the Martin / Club relationship than is known I suspect

[quote user="jas the barclay king"]... there is NO money. and anyone who looks at the anual accounts can tell that.... do other clubs have more money than us???  have we spent less than any other club so far this seasn in the championship? jas :) [/quote], I''ve also looked at the accounts and there is money. QPR, Derby, Brum, Wolves, Reading, Scum, Sheff Utd, Forest, Palace all have more money than us to spendIncluding wage commitments we have spent more than many Champ clubs this summer....... Could be worse....... could be Derby fans

[quote user="cityangel"]But it should have been a priority back in July, Lupoli has scored 8 goals in the last 3 seasons and OJ is here to learn his trade which leaves us with Jamie who wont produce without a target man. Have we tried hard enough? Have we offered enough money? Other clubs have bought strikers so why are we finding it so difficult [/quote], As I said its been a priority since last November. Lupoli is class, I think you''d be in a very tiny minority cheering if we sent him back (which we can do with any of the loans by the way - another reason they make sense).Yes we have tried very hard - to bring in the right people. Remember Cottee? Would you want Morrisson (and his entourage)? Eastwood and his baggage?Have we offered enough money you ask. Would you bid more than £500k for Howard? More than £2m for Ameobi?What strikers do you think Glen has missed who have gone to other clubs? Beattie? Brilliant signing but out of our league. Lisbie? Been there - no thanks. Lyle? No...... who would you have gone for cityangel?
