More waiting!

[millertop]

Will he be in the starting line up, will he actually be used as a striker? More importantly will he be better than what we have?

Hmm

[mellowmiller]

This is beginning to sound like a broken record.
The same platitudes and excuses get rolled out every transfer window but other clubs who are faced with similar issues just get on with it while we are left floundering.
You take your time Mr Warne, it's not as though we're struggling is it? ☹

When is a recruitment team not a recruitment team?

Patience is called for......

Don't forget....'Man with one eye in the land of the blind is god'

[Pocket rocket]

Genuine question.
Is it not better to get the right players or important to sign players early to make us all feel better about the recruitment?

Not trying to defend anyone just interested in thoughts ?

[Geetarman]

To get the right players of course. Although in the feeding frenzy that a "transfer window" has become we should be signing everyone and anyone to "show a ambition" apparently.

Who do I trust? The professional that is Paul Warne over any number of armchair managers every time.

"There are other targets to go for but I'm very selective in who I want to bring in."


Is that Warne talking about being selective or the purse strings doing the talking? As for being selective, will this cost us in the long run about wanting players who are suited to his needs and not that of the club? Sometimes you need an ugly player who can get the ball over the line. All this 'Lovin' throughout the team is setting a 'bonding precedent' but where's our ruthless streak gone that use to wins us games?

That's my worry Brin. I think warne is treating it like teaching rather than football management. To be brutally honest, and run the risk of being berated, I dont give a flying whether he turns the players into better human beings or not. All I care about, in the context of RUFC. is whether the first team wins on a saturday or tuesday.

I do wonder whether warne doesnt believe he has the management skill set to be the boss of players who aren't squeaky clean.
