stcappy Posted 9 January, 2013 Posted 9 January, 2013 You can guarentee that if we dont sign a winger/left back/goal keeper it'll be blamed on us messing around for too long with the Astori negotiations. Oh I know that - I shall avoid reading the board for a while if that happens!
sotonjoe Posted 9 January, 2013 Posted 9 January, 2013 Where's the issue?? Beats me. Ramirez = Cortese signing ... Forte = Adkins signing ... and somebody is bed wetting why?
Hopkins Posted 9 January, 2013 Posted 9 January, 2013 Seeing as the manager is the most unstable position in the whole of football, it's probably for the best he doesn't have the biggest influence over signings that the club makes. We are making long term purchases for the long term interests of the club. It's logical to suggest therefore that people who are here for the long term (Cortese and Reed) have input. That's the point of the club philosophy. Only United probably do it any differently in the Premier League and thats because their manager is the most stable position in football atm. Every other club has a club philosophy that the signings and managers will fit into.. (Swansea, WBA, Newcastle, Chelsea are all examples of this). Welcome to modern day football. Much more efficiently run with long term planning.
JustMike Posted 9 January, 2013 Posted 9 January, 2013 Lambert / Clyne / Sharp / Fonte / Jos / Cork / Davis / Jay Rod etc etc etc all from / are Italy / Italian aren't they
Saint Charlie Posted 9 January, 2013 Posted 9 January, 2013 Lambert / Clyne / Sharp / Fonte / Jos / Cork / Davis / Jay Rod etc etc etc all from / are Italy / Italian aren't they They aren't. We actually have zero Italian players.
david in sweden Posted 9 January, 2013 Posted 9 January, 2013 Beats me. Ramirez = Cortese signing ... Forte = Adkins signing ... and somebody is bed wetting why? .if you consider where we were at that time, he WAS a good signing who cost next to nothing, and his 2 goals in THAT game were vital at the end of the season.....
Avenue Saint Posted 9 January, 2013 Posted 9 January, 2013 We're competing with likes of Liverpool and AC Milan for signings and we find a cause to moan lol Only on Saintsweb...
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 January, 2013 Author Posted 9 January, 2013 We're competing with likes of Liverpool and AC Milan for signings and we find a cause to moan lol Only on Saintsweb... How much are we paying for that privilege?
Matthew Le God Posted 9 January, 2013 Posted 9 January, 2013 How much are we paying for that privilege? You personally aren't paying anything. If Cortese and the Liebherr estate are comfortable with the spending and we can afford it, why are you so bothered?
Dazza82 Posted 9 January, 2013 Posted 9 January, 2013 Its a reasonable question. I just wonder if NA has heard of half of them before the "Committee Meeting" That is why we have a scouting network to source these types of players that certain people may not of heard of, How do you not know we have had our scouts going around the world and they have come to the conclusion that these players are the best in terms of ability and value for money? I bet Nigel Adkins has heard of Keiron Dyer But i don't hear people suggesting that we should sign him, Why is that? If Nigel,you,Myself or anyone else have not heard of a player it does not make them a bad player, we have scouts and many contacts throughout the game who give us opinions on these players.
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 January, 2013 Author Posted 9 January, 2013 You personally aren't paying anything. If Cortese and the Liebherr estate are comfortable with the spending and we can afford it, why are you so bothered? Because its the club I love.
