Yet we still finished above you and beat you twice last season
Give the lad credit. Despite consistently making a prize tit of himself on here, season after season, he keeps on coming back for more. He's like an annoying little fly buzzing around a lions arse, getting swatted away by its tail.
You'd have thought that, given the number of years he's been posting on here (minus the odd hiatus when we beat them, when they got relegated etc) he'd have matured by now, but he's still no more than a kid.
Agree, he's comedy gold.
Because you can agree fees and terms whenever but can't register a player until the window is open. The point stands anyway there's 2 months left to sign players
The window opens July 1st.
So, someone at the BBC was just making up all of those details about transfers completed in June? June 30th is the last day of most contracts, so, technically, deals like the ones we've done for Mendez-Laing, Etheridge and Camp would go through on 1 July because that's the date when they become City employees, but we paid a fee for Ward, he was here signing a contract well before the end of June and the signing was completed well before you say the transfer window opened - what would be the point of a deal like that being kept waiting for ten days or so?
Anyway, even if you are right, you are now admitting that we've had almost two months already to complete transfers which, bizarrely, could not be confirmed until last Saturday - so, having been beaten to the signature of Hayes and McKay, we're now in the position where we're looking at a trialist who barely kicked a ball last season . I can understand why McAdder suggested we were getting a bit desperate and he certainly didn't deserve to be called a berk.
I think that's a reasonable summing of the situation, except I'd have expected NW and team to have had a list of targets they'd looked at, and to be working their way down the list if their top targets weren't achieved. I'd be very surprised if any of the signings had not been looked at long and hard already, it just doesn't strike me as the way NW works.
Can't do links but just been reading a thread on Owlstalk forum. Was expecting the usual slagging him off type posts but quite suprised that quite a few on there seem to think NW is the sort of manager to get the best out of him.
There are a few that seem quite bitter that we won't sell Morrison to them.
Can't believe you gave Crosey the time of day to even reply
It's not that Croesy.
NW hasn't been great with every budget player he's ever had. He's done well with a few of our underperforming players such as Gunnarson and Zahore but he hasn't got the best out of everyone.
I don't see that shit player + NW = good player
Warnock is good getting the best out of players whose careers are waning...
McGugan "unlikely" to sign for us according to this (mind you, the writer has him still at Forest at one point) - it also says we have a "clutch" of mostly foreign trialists at the club at present.

TOBW, Is a fair minded man,even for lost souls.
He's had 3 clubs in 11 seasons. You've just signed an Italian on a freebie who is on club number 7 dipstick.
If brains were made of chocolate his would not fill a smartie.
Ideally we'd have all our targets either signed by now or lined up so deal is nearly finished. In the past we certainly haven't been in that ideal position and key signings aren't made until the final few weeks, however it may also be true that taking on a troubled trialist suggests our plans have been knocked out of shape and we're desperately searching for a cheap deal to fill a key position.
It's getting harder and harder to judge signings as we have seen a Kante surprise a Leicester and Miki, initially, disappoint a Man united. However, how many of our new players would you say we're likely to start the first game of the season? I don't think any, though Patterson would if not for injury. Here's to being surprised.
One of the goalkeepers will play as will Ward.
Correction: I expect camp and ward to start. 3 potential starters from summer window may not be bad but one missing due to injury and one starting due to weakness of position.
Looking like Patterson will be fit as he's been in training since May and is in the squad for next week's friendly at Taffs We'll
That'll be a real bonus if he's available for the the start of the league season.
That's great news,let's hope that they're not rushing him
I';m not sure why we signed him? Could be another McNaughton who scores goals. We already have Peltier, who has just extended his contract, and Richards. Maybe Warnock sees Richards competing with Bennett for the left back berth? Our back four has eight players now, Peltier, Patterson, Richards, Bennett, Manga, Bamba, Morrison and Connolly. That must be the best in the Championship. Although i think one or two may leave. Not all of those are going to be happy every Saturday.
Maybe Warnock has Richards down to compete for a midfield spot? He's played there in the past for Wales
