MisterCarrow 0 Posted December 2, 2008 As the season unfolds there are several players we were strongly linked with over the summer but didn''t buy for whatever reason who are doing well at other clubs who I feel we should be competing with.Martin Patterson - Burnley (7 Goals, Striker)Ross Mcormack - Cardiff (13 Goals, Striker)Kevin Mcdonald - Burnley (2 goals against Arsenal tonight, Midfielder)Alan Gow - Blackpool (3 Goals, Midfielder)Why did we not get at least 2 of these players? Why does Roeder think certain players aren''t good enough for our team when clearly they are? I''d much rather have Patterson than Sibierski.Some of these players were playing a lower standard of football last season in Scotland and 2 seasons ago in league 1 so why doesn''t Roeder think these players can''t make the step up.(which they have)It is time for him to start buying our own players and start cherry picking some of these players from the lower leagues in January starting with Andy Bishop from Bury.These sort of players will have a lot more hunger to impress and do well to try and become better players.Come on Roeder, pull your finger out and lets have a few more bargains like Clingan and Hoolahan.

whoareyou? 0 Posted December 3, 2008 The reason they didn''t sign is we simply do not have any money.Gavin Rae at Cardiff is another we wanted to sign at one time and is now playing well elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whoareyou? 0 Posted December 3, 2008 I''ve never understood why no one has signed Andy Bishop either...he has 9 goals in 15 games this year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lazza 0 Posted December 3, 2008 Just because we were "linked" with them that doesn''t mean we were ever actually looking at them. Don''t believe everything you read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted December 3, 2008 ALan Gow was here on Trial, and for some reason said publically that he seemed to think he had signed for us.... clearly he hadn''t! perhaps we bought him here and decided he wasnt good enough after a few hours and got rid.. its like Joey Beauchamp at West Ham all over again!jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don''t think he''s anything special, personally.He''s been around a few years now and if he was good as some people would suggest then surely another club would have taken a gamble on him.
