Hey 38,thanks for your knowledge along the way,im grateful.
I think I remember you saying that the takeover would happen early august,did you mean this week?

Wasn't told a date my mate just told me all should be done early august.

[bigcyrille]

No offence but that is complete nonsense.

None taken and it isn't.

[baggie38]

You must appreciate a few people on here myself included will be a little sceptical when a new poster with 25 posts comes on board and starts making claims. It is the school holidays after all.

Understandable and I expected to be shot down, I'm a 10+ year lurker. Take it as you wish but thought I'd share as it's good information.

[AidantheBaggies]

Takeover or not we need to start spending some money on the squad.

[baggiejohn]

I think you'll find we already have

Matt Phillips....the average championship player.....no better than what we have now.

[Hull Baggie]

Phillips is a much better option than McManaman or Leko.

[VANDERLEI]

That is simply not true. Phillips is far better than McClean and Gardner.

[AidantheBaggies]

Phillips is a much better option than McManaman or Leko.

Disagree....old hoofball hasn't given McManaman a chance

[baggiejohn]

Err, Aren't we about to sign Diafra Sakho?

Correct and well done to the club....but by all accounts his attitude is dreadful not what we need!!

i totally agree, doesnt help many of our footballers, inc Saido

Pulis played him quite a bit when he first signed, but he never did much when he was on the pitch. I remember 1 assist for Brunt away at Burnley and a pen against Leicester...plus a few dives.

He doesn't seem to have the stamina to last a full match or anything over 60 minutes. If he was better he would be considered a luxury player but we can't afford a luxury player with virtually no end product.

Would prefer a luxury player where you don't know what you will get then players like gardner and McLean where you know exactly what you will get. Obviously there is a balance to be had but playing gardner for almost the whole season was a bleeding excercise in masochism.

Trying not to be a killjoy, but haven't we wandered off topic a bit? I just pointed out that we were going through the process of spending some money. Doesn't player performance belong on another topic. Just Saying

How is the mod apprenticeship going ;-)

[tommcneill]

Can we get back on topic guys please

there are threads for the players being discussed

No poor fitness and not able to follow clear instructions has blown McManamans chance. He really only has himself to blame and he also doesn't help himself with the blatant cheating.

[baggie38]

There's a few key words there "but by all accounts" fact of the matter is we don't know what he is like. People are just believing what the media have to say about him.

In fairness Bilic has let him go for a reason and if the reason is he is worse than Andy Carroll its a concern.
If its another reason, then...... its a concern.

We won't find many with Rondons ability and professionalism IMO.

[wba1993dave]

Anyone reckon this will be done before our opening game ?

[Foster#1]

All guess work except for 38 and he said he soon.

[liverbaggie]

Hey albionic,all clubs get rid of players that don't fit in for many reasons, perhaps he wasn't loved enough or paid enough or the bloke that signed him leaves,

[wba13]

Thought this was the thread about the takeover al I`m reading is what should be on other threads back to the takeover please.
