a1canary 0 Posted January 29, 2008 [quote user="1st Wizard"]Until you''ve actually signed someone, shut thy gob!.[/quote]Understandable sentiments Wiz, but you can be absolutely certain that if he did as you ask, and did so since the window opened, you wouldn''t be able to move for the posts on here, probably started by your good self, asking Glenn if the cat had caught his toungue and what''s with the silence!I agree he''s probably saying too much while actually saying very little, if that''s possible, and he should just stick to the line that he''s doing all he can in this circus that we call the transfer window, to bring players in who will improve out squad. Then say nothing until he''s sat in a press conference with a.n.other sitting alongside him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aviva Believer 0 Posted January 29, 2008 But if he didnt come out saying he was looking at/possibly signing new players in the very near future, everyone would jump on him accusing him of a lack of ambition. Can the man do anything right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Interesting to see a Wizard transition in action. Glenn could do no wrong; then it was support Glenn but not the Board; then little criticisms of Glenn came in which gradually increased to an abusive thread title.Look out, it will soon be full on Roeder bashing or else a grovelling apology followed by a shorter transition to Roeder bashing in the future.Brady can swivel as far as I''m concerned and Roeder is showing her the contempt her high and mighty attitude deserves.As for you, Dave, I bet you''re the sort of silly old fool who sends the tax off to a Canadian lottery that phoned you telling you you''ve won.Carry on Glenn, do it your way and don''t be disuaded by the weak.BTW, Dave, keep your Personal Message Tension (PMT) to yourself this time!

I would doubt 98% of people have ever agreed with you, though if you turned Smudger into a toad I think you''d get close (the 2% would be animal rights types who''d complain about anything).And for the record, I think Roeder''s doing just fine. Given your history of flip-flopping, tomorrow you''ll probably agree with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

macdougalls perm 0 Posted January 29, 2008 [quote user="ricky knight"]who cares about ipshxt.[/quote]I''ve lost count of the number of threads on here over the last couple of months in which people have used their ''fantastic'' sell out to Evans as evidence of how badly run our club is. So I suppose the answer to your question is, quite a few people, evidently. [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Down Under 0 Posted January 29, 2008 I actually think Roeder is giving too much information away. These deals are incredibly complex, and ask any salesman and they will tell you a deal is only done when the contract is signed by all relevant parties. Its happened before, Roeder telling us someone will be signed, and it gets fans'' hopes up. If the signings don''t happen, it will be even MORE fodder for the negative posters on here.This could of course be designed to put the pressure on Brady re Tiny. In which case I take it all back. But generally, although fans clamour for information about transfers, actions speak way louder than words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arrdee 1 Posted January 29, 2008 This transfer window adds nothing to the game only confusion , whose daft idea was it to hold it in the middle of the African nations cup? Just to add more confusion to the whole sorry saga . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

renegade tootsie 0 Posted January 30, 2008 From hearing him speak two deals are done. There are possibly two more, and he said no more than that.As for wizzardd - ignore him he is an attention seeking fool - anyone with a brain can see Roeder is turning the club around and that he is spending wisely rather than panicking.[quote user="Big Down Under"]I actually think Roeder is giving too much information away.
