Quote: Rock God X "Quite. I said at the top of the thread that I've only seen him play a few games (albeit rather unimpressively), so I'm not really best placed to judge the signing. This ridiculous notion, however, that those who do feel able to make a judgement should refrain from doing so, or that you're not a 'true fan' unless you do a happy little dance with every signing that's announced, is lng risible.'"

You and I aren't superfans though

Quote: Hessle Roader "And do you not think the blind idiots (your words, not mine) turn up week after week and make their own judgements. I never miss a match if I can and resent anyone calling me names because my opinion doesn't agree with theirs.'"

I've not called anyone a blind idiot, just generalised at some people who cannot seem to abide people who may not always want to be 100% positive all the time. You want to label yourself that's your choice

Quote: hull smallears "I'm not gentle or bomber or Pearson. So that is irrelevant. I also don't know the machinations at the time as to whom was available. I tell you this though, I would not have signed Johnson, galea, crookes and probably not arundel. Would have played Kent, Hadley, green Bowden and used shaul on wing instead of letting him twiddle thumbs.'"

I'd love to know who you would played if/when they got injured?

I personally think its stupid to knock somebody before they have even trained with a squad, have an opinion on whether you think he will go well or you personally don't rate him is fair enough, but to go to the levels of saying this type of player wont get us top four is not fact its only a guess. Far too many people though are just having a go for the sake of it as every player we sign is not a Darren Lockyer of the world and think because a player played at a club below us he will be rubbish.

I just get fed up of it all TBH, nobody seems patient these days.

If you also don't think fans make a difference on a players signature, you are truly mistaken.

Quote: Jake the Peg "You and I aren't superfans though'"


Get over yourself, if Jordan Thompson comes here plays bad and looks like he doesn't give a flying hoot then I'd be having a go as much as the next fan.

The reality is though he has only just signed, is 22 and nobody knows how he will fair up for us. You can make a guess on how well he will do but can't speak like its a fact he will fail, as most people on this thread are doing.

OLD FAITHFUL PAL OF MINE:



Quote: Rock God X "Yes, the 'give it to Manu and hope he drags us out of the shlt again' game plan is clearly far superior to anything Saints have to offer.'"



Isn't that what being a top player and/or star attraction is all about?? When the chips are down, you expect your top performers to 'get you out of the $h1t' again........

It's an opinion. And guess what? Everyone is entitled to express their opinion on here within the bounds of the AUP. If their opinion is that a particular signing is a poor one, then so be it.

Quote: pmarrow "Far too many people though are just having a go for the sake of it as every player we sign is not a Darren Lockyer of the world and think because a player played at a club below us he will be rubbish.'"


This is utter nonsense. Not one person has suggested that we ought to be signing exclusively Aussie test players, just that they'd like our blend of players to include more who are the finished article. And it's been pointed out on a number of occasions that it's not where we're signing players from, but which ones we sign.

Quote: pmarrow "I just get fed up of it all TBH, nobody seems patient these days.

What a massive amount of horse. Players sign for a club because of money, career aspirations, potential to win trophies, suitability to family life or maybe because they know players already there. The idea that the opinions of a few tens of people on a message board has any influence on their decision is laughably silly.

No, you build a game plan designed to best exploit the skills of your star players. There's a subtle difference.

Well our injury situation has been pretty bad again this season. How many games have all those players between them played?

Shall we all just agree to disagree. We've obviously all got differing opinions of how the club should be run but there's nothing any of us can do about it. At the end of the day we're all just fans who want the best for FC.

So just let me get this straight...

There are actually some folk who think that we still haven't played enough youngsters this season?

I think what Smallears meant was, instead of signing Galea, Crookes, Arundel & Johnson, who ended up no more than squad players covering injury, we should've had faith in Shaul, Green, Hadley, Kent & Bowden to cover injuries, and use the money saved to invest in the first choice team.

That said, I think Arundel & Crookes were signed as starters at the time, with the club not expecting Crooks & Lineham to nail down their places as they did.

I'd certainly agree that Galea was a wasted signing. Arguably Johnson as well - not a bad player but too small to be anything but squad cover.

Crookes and Arundel, as you say, were signed as first choice in their positions.

I think there was a - probably justified - concern at the possibility of playing too many youngsters all at the same time. And maybe some of those named just aren't that good?
