January transfer window

A guy who can't even get into Yeovil's side.

If this is a taste of what the miraculous January window is going to be like, it's far from inspiring.

 

To be fair to the lad, he was recalled by Luton after one game. He doesn't sound like what we need, but let's get our facts straight about him.

 

It's like Stevens and Burrell last January. They made absolutely 0 difference and we might as well not have bothered bringing them in.

 

This screams Austin Samuels all over.

 

Hmmm! An NDA you say. Do you think ‘hand dryer’ is code for ‘centre forward’?

 

Is it so difficult to bring a player in or players that are ready to fit into the team ?????
Honestly I would rather just not bother if we are about to bring in players who may do it because 9/10 they end up doing nothing

 

He has managed to get on the pitch in the Premier League twice, albeit for a total of about half an hour 4 years ago.

Must have had something about him at some point.

 

So did Gareth Grant, what's you point

 

If he comes in it will be cover for Vernham if as reported we are hoping to sign 5 or 6 some will be cover

 

Christ, he did, didn't he?

Just trying to be positive...

 

You sure Vernham is staying ??

 

In reference to the earlier posts about the supporter's board meetings, I've been attending all of them this season including the meeting that happened last Thursday

There were some questions that were submitted by fans before the meeting, although I don't know how many were actually sent in, as there were 5/6 that were given to Sparks to answer. However, all members of the meeting were given an opportunity to ask any question so this was the best opportunity to be critical. Perhaps the most challenging question was the one about where has the extra ST revenue gone to which Sparks said went to the playing budget and made us the 5th highest in League 2, although he didn't name all the teams which a higher budget everyone can certainly guess who they were

The previous meeting has probably been the most effective as it gave fans a direct opportunity to ask Sparks questions as there were several occasions where they've raised points by email and not been answered, expected as RS is busy with other business.

RS did mention that they've been planning for January for a while and he that he wouldn't commit to spending on players if he didn't believe we could get promoted. Also, he mentioned how often the best business is done late in the window (Minus Kurtis Guthrie) and sometimes things change throughout January (Andy Cook last year as an example)

As shown in minutes previous Sparks doesn't attend every meeting, due to his schedule and sometimes no need for him to attend. Usually, he would attend every third meeting.

Once working groups get in order the meetings should become more effective as other ones perhaps weren't that effective especially as they were all done in 30 minutes or so

There has been a few new members on the board this season and a few resignations due to other commitments etc. There won't be any new members elected until next season unless there's a big drop in current numbers.

Meetings are still on Teams as convenient for all

Thanks

James

 

You heard otherwise?

 

Get ready for the , don`t judge him until you have seen him play brigade , give the "lad " a chance , save judgement until the end of the season etc .

 

This isn’t 1960. Stats are there. You don’t need to see players play.

We need better.

We all calling for Adams head now then? We seen him manage us and he’s shite.

 

I'd have thought they would have been reasonable replies, not to judge the lad before he's kick a ball for the club.

 

Hope Akpan played for Nigeria four times, including a spell in the African Cup of Nations.

 

What a bizarre thing to come out with. Shall we sack the scouts if it took you a quick look on his Wikipedia to make your mind up?

 

Just the sort of useless signing we could expect . If hes zero use to Yeovil hes absolutely -zero use to us. We dont need squad fillers who wouldnt take "a shirt off a washing line". We need proper first XI recruits (minimum 7 in key positions) to take the shirts of the back off the nomarks already in them. Adams knows bugger all about football or how to progress this football club if he brings in this one ?
