    It's just to remind people like you that you were wrong. It's a session long game to pay you all back for hammering me in August about not giving him a chance

    Sorry Jon, its been average at best - a good performance v Wycombe and a poor performance tonight don't change the opinion of most fair-minded fans.
    The players are trying, no doubt about that, but our mid table placing is a true reflection of the team and our recruitment.

    That's kinda all I'm saying.

    The players we've brought in are all right, they're certainly not 'worst ever, woeful, whatever'.

    I've seen plenty worse down at Valley Parade than some of this lot, even if they're not massively inspiring.

    I never said I thought he was a good signing, it is more about your vitriol towards Ash Taylor being relentless. It's about time you grew up.

    Vitriol?

    I'm not sure you should go outside m9. It could be quite upsetting for you if anything I've said on here about Ash Taylor is affecting you that much.

    Agree with the point on most European league equivalents but isn't bruenker now playing in Bundesliga 2 ? Some pretty decent teams and fanbases at that level.

    His side made quarter finals of German cup too, beating Bayern (including bruenker assist) and another top level team

    Quick Googly search suggests Saarbrucken are in "3. liga" which makes a lot more sense to me than the idea Brunker might be playing in the Bundesliga one day :joy:

    He's also spent the majority of the time on the bench I believe and came on as a sub to grab that assist against Bayern.
    Still an impressive result but he's not quite a leading light, even at that level.

    Even 2 Liga teams in Poland would turn us over. These clubs in the lower leagues of European countries are free to sign anyone. We can only sign English, Scottish or Irish players for the most part which has made the lower leagues in England worse.

    Always loved around 2004-2012 when random European players would pop up in the leagues like that lad called Franz Burgmeier from Liechtenstein at Darlington had who they signed due to the owner's grandson finding him on Football Manager

    That's a division where B teams do quite well.

    What's the equivalent of a Polska league B team, like, Brentford rezzies?

    You really think they'd turn us over?

    I heard GA talking about Smallwood and how much he rates him. I didn't realise he had him on loan at Scunny, and he said ever since then he's always checked on his availability every season. If that doesn't say he's going to get a contract extension I don't know what does.
