Once he saw Abdul wasn’t playing he wet himself
Not really, I got home from the mkm, had a coffee then started channel surfing. I wish he had been playing and was in top form but he wasn't and he isn't.
Let's hope that next season, when he's 29, he'll finally get fit and complete a full season In the top flight of the game. Probably a pipe dream but hey, sometimes miracles do happen

It's a high risk strategy which may pay off but probably won't. My opinion is as valid as those who just want to wait and see with their perennial optimism.
We've had years of poor to average signings who get lauded on here before playing a game for us then turn out badly. 2025 may be the year all of that changes but with the current signings done or rumoured I don't see it. Just a scrap for 10th place with cas and probably wakey although they seem to be making better quality signings than us
How do you know we will be in a scrap for 10th…no one know what will happen next season,Cartwright may sharpen up the defence and improve the attack and just see how we go…Wakey have got Johnson and McMeeken on big contracts BEFORE Myler and the investment came in and we haven’t got the pulling power of the top clubs or the tax breaks in France.

All fair points, but like Bonaire you are just repeating the same things over and over again. We get it, you don't rate our recruitment so far.

No different to people continually bigging the recruitment up though is it?

Who I doing that, I haven't seen anyone, most people see the balanced view some good signings some risks, but overall better than we have (on paper). Still recruitment on going You and a couple of others seem to find the negatives in everything.
I don't know anyone who's got carried away with recruitment. Just an acceptance that we are getting some short term signings to get us out of the mess were are in. The fact we've got two quota players out on loan is a disgrace, and shows where we are.

They were probably the ones posting how good 2024 recruitment was with Pele, okunbor, smith et al
