On the plus side they've done some early business but if these players were first choices there is a frightening lack of ambition in my view. Other than the keeper they all look like squad players to me filling holes left by a dozen or so departures and I don't see any going straight into a starting eleven other than possibly Scully and maybe Shaughnessy.
At least we're consistent by bringing two players who were out injured for the best part of last season. That doesn't necessarily make them injury prone but there must be an inherent risk.
The Irish kid is a huge gamble but lets hope this one comes off; it'd be nice.
As they say rumours are rumours but the pattern/response to these rumours is very predictable inasmuch as there is some qualified interest then other clubs join in the hunt and we immediately drop out.
Apparently Bernard wants 'to consider his options'...well we should know from experience what that is likely to mean and there is reported interested from a Championship club in the Portsmouth born Accrington kid and we know how that type of scenario normally works out with us being outbid and/or better wages. Whyte? Well who knows but last season he didn't exactly tear up any trees with a very poor Cardiff side.
Still time is on our side but I think we desperately need a no.10, two strikers and another keeper. I feel Jon Harley will need to come up with at least two half decent loan signings from Chelsea.
Question is when are we going to se evidence of the increased playing budget promised by Eisner because my guess is that the business done so far should have cost us next to bugger all.
Good summing up for our current position. We've acquired a lot of bench warmers but No head turners. I like the owner who seems like a genuine nice guy but still doesn't understand English Football. He now appears to be totally reliant on RH who did acquire 2 good players end of last year but this is a far harder total team rebuilding task. But what experience has he really had of being a DOF. Forrest Green Rovers who nobody had heard of 2 years ago but somehow managed to get in to Div 1 last year but got instantly relegated.
Unless we sign a couple of decent contract players & a couple of loans - agree about Chelsea using JH connections we could struggle.
I know I'm biased but think we should have kept Michael Jacobs for another year & played him in the No.10 role. Good creative players cost money & it doesn't look like we're prepared to spend it!
There is so much rubbish in this post it is hard to respond to it all, you really have outdone yourself here.
Why on earth would you expect the owner to not be totally reliant on the man he has appointed to run the recruitment?! Fucking hell Mikey, please tell me you’re on a wind up?! Eisner has never and will never sign players he wants. Do you think he’s out scouting players?!
I’d wager Micheal Eisner has a better understanding of English football and PFC than you do. He certainly watches more games!!
Jacobs wanted to leave, does he not get a choice??
How do you think FGR got from you not knowing them to L1?!
You havent obviously understood my post have you?
I'm saying he's put all his eggs in one basket appointing RH who's recruitment experience in Div1 is very limited.
As the owner of the club I'm sure he has as it's cash bank rolling the club.
I attended 2 games last season about the same as him I think.
I'd rather listen to Guy on the radio coverage tbh.
Again, all I'm saying is we haven't replaced Jacobs with an upgrade like Lewis Wing have we?
I want to be positive about next season but won't be rushing to the bookies just yet!
No I haven’t Mikey because it’s drivel.
Do you think we should get 4 DoF’s so he can’t put his eggs in more baskets? Surely a DoF with with bags of L1 experience would be looking to progress their career higher up the leagues? Which DoF with years of success in L1 were you thinking of?
I said watch, not attend. You’d rather listen to the radio than watch the games?! You’re criticising the players we’ve signed but don’t even watch us let alone the players you’re moaning about?!
We haven’t signed someone who barely plays and rarely has a good game anymore? The window has been open 2 weeks, there is a long way to go.
