Ah but Holt was brought in to replace Dicko, with all their similar attributes

Burst knees?

 

[Revenga]

Well at least Holt's arse kept the bench warm.

The Wolves way, is to treat it's loyal supporters with contempt!

And there is nothing wrong with Kidderminster!

 

[Parkins left foot]

No the Holt signing was the sacrificial lamb to get us riled & stop us picking another scapegoat from the rest of the squad!

 

[Carrotdude]

We'll stick with what we've got and stay up with anti football until the club gets sold. That could take years. Fun.

 

[Boozad]

Of course, but we just don't have the financial outlay to replace players of his ilk. We have to take risks that the likes of Byrne or Wallace will come good.

Er yes we do, yes we did and oh we got twice for Afobe what QPR got for Austin.I think at times we would struggle to seal a deal in pound land .

I usually can't be bothered with discussions like these and prefer to read them but I'll give you your dues, you forced my hand.

So, tell me exactly how much it would have cost to replace Sako like for like and with whom, and can you tell me our exact transfer budget in the summer please? And how the fuck does how much we received for Afobe in January affect last summer's transfer budget? And how do you know how much is being made available from what we received from Afobe?

And it's nous, not 'nouse'. Nouse isn't a word. I've never been a grammar Nazi but that's pissed me off for way too long.

Are you Kevin Keegan? I love it. Thanks for the nous. Shame it pissed you off to such an extent. You don't disagree on that though only sthe spelling.

And don't give me that who do you replace Sako with. He was good but not a worldly. We could have looked at several to be fair but we ended up with nothing. Oh and while I am at it , we made 8 million last year and our illustrious CEO said we would and I quote spend big to replace Sako. We didn't. I don't know what is being made available but even if its half 4 or 5 million is a good start. Add to that 2 million for Stearman. Come on do you really have faith in our recruitment and our signings? If so you have a lot more faith than me. But then your avatar says numbnuts so what do I know

I'm still looking at that poxy fucking Holt deal in part as well, if we are to believe the club and we knew Afobe wanted out months in advance, we should have been signing someone on loan in Oct/Nov who was there settled into the club, contributing and ready to sign permanently on 1st January - or at least, someone who had the potential to fill that brief. Instead we sign a fat bastard who wouldn't make an impact playing for Kidderminster. You cannot tell me he was the best available option in any sense whatsoever.

Further made confusing by the fact we signed ALF pre-season, then fail to play him.

This is just silly. Where have the fanbase been treated with contempt?

Bad decisions may have been made, but a deliberate attempt to act against the support? Nonsense.

Or a system that suits him

 

[North West Wanderer]

I'd have took either of those that brizzle signed today.

Not sure what your overuse of a word you can't spell has to do with Kevin Keegan, but yeah, if you're going to use it so much then at least spell it right.

And don't give me that who do you replace Sako with. He was good but not a worldly. We could have looked at several to be fair but we ended up with nothing.

You don't give anything, as you've just proved again. Name just one player who we could have gone for, their transfer fee, wages, agents fees etc. Or shall I just check left sided midfielders on a random stats website? If you're going to throw brazen statements out there with not one shred of evidence (for want of a better word) to back them up then don't put down other posters for making statements of their own, which in this case seemed a lot more based in reality than yours.

No I don't have faith in our recruitment, but at the same time I don't go round rubbishing other peoples' posts pretending that I know all about the goings on and finances of the club.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Agreed on both

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'd have taken Pearce if it was with a view to a permanent move. Unlikely QPR would shift Gladwin on permanently at this stage so I really don't see the point. We aren't going up or down this season. Plus we have midfielders of our own we haven't given a proper go.

 

[Lycan]

Not entirely sure about Pearce, Reading fans weren't bothered in the slightest when he left in the summer. I'm surprised Gladwin hasn't had a bigger impact at QPR this season though, he looked excellent in the play-offs last year.

 

[Tony Towner]

Not sure. Pearce is a slow stopper type centre half, we aren't struggling for those. Would he be an upgrade on Batth and EEL, marginally but not enough to make me do the deal. We need a new centre half though

A deliberate attempt to lie to it's supporters and treat them like idiots over a period of time, is contempt!
