WHAT A ******** DISGRACE, LEARN OUR LESSONS WHAT A LOAD OF BULL!!!!

We waited around last year and many of the best buys are gone, and we are going to do it again this year!!

I saw Chris Coleman interviewed on TV the other day he said: "We wanted to get him in now (Bullard) because we new a few other clubs were sniffing around him!" or something along those lines anyway....

Yep the pond will be all fished out by the time Worthless gets there [:(].

It is certain that again, we are going to watch Halford, Koumas, Danns, Cook etc etc all get signed up by clubs no better than ours while we are not even making an attempt to sign anyone.

I share your concerns.  We''re in big trouble if the only lesson that has been learned is "We should have sold Ashton sooner".

I posted on the subject of our football maestro''s extreme slowness to get involved in the transfer market a couple of weeks ago. I was prompted to write on this topic by an article in one of the newspapers, where they quoted Jose Mourinho as saying he hoped to have all his transfer business finished before the World Cup kicked off. Contrast the urgency of Mourinho with our clown who was quoted as saying, everyone should relax and enjoy the World Cup and he would start thinking about transfer targets when the tournament had finished. What a genius we have in our midst. Aren''t we lucky?

Even if nobody does their business now why does that mean we have to follow suit??? What is the harm of getting in early? Prices will be much higher nearer the end of the window as teams scramble to make signings. Anyway by then most of the bargains will be snapped up. Of course their is more business nearer the beginning of the season but I think most of the shrewd buys will be done early. We don''t want another season of panic buying!

So out of the 92 football league clubs only a very very small number have signed anyone as of yet. But any old excuse I guess?...

It was not NW who said "nobody does business now", but ND.  He did not seem to have woken up to the fact that the transfer window has changed all that.  To date there is precious little sign that the board have learned that particular lesson.   I hope I''m wrong.  I may write to them and ask for clarification.

The Worthy/NCFC ethos - behind the ''unwillingness'' to pursue or purchase quality or decent players during the close season. Is probably due to the thrifty mindset that is: "If we buy them during the close season.......we have to pay them for doing nothing till the season starts!

Don''t shake your heads in comical disbelief! It''s actually true!

We are like the 2 kids picking the sides in the playground, if you don''t get in there first - you end up with the dregs who possess two left feet & can''t kick a beach ball - or, those who would rather be sat in the classroom reading or playing interesting board games.....Apparently, a few of our players enjoy a good novel and the occasional strategic game of chess......[8-|] ;~)

last season many of the good players had been signed before Worthy and Doncaster started looking... FACT

They have prattled on again about waiting till after the World Cup before looking to sign players... FACT

Here is whom Sheffield United picked up before even July.

Lilian Nalis	Leicester	Free	17-05-2005
Paul Ifill	Millwall	£ 800000	20-05-2005
Danny Webber	Watford	£ 500000	01-06-2005

How we could have done with a Paul Ifill.  Nice to see Malky Mackay marshalling Andy Johnson today.......
