so rafa the gafa has us back in pre season training

[pboromag]

same side as last season apart from one addition who has a knock and will hopefully be fit for the spuds game

havent we had this before under rafa (striker)

how many of the under 23,s has he replaced

since he has been in charge of all things footy we seem to be going backwards

we cant even get out of contract or players with buy out clauses in under him

how well is he connected or his scouts etc

at least carr was aware of players with piddly little buy outs and end of contract players

we need players

and rafa seems to struglle to attract them

i just hope he manages to get 3-4 in before the first game

there seems to be more talk of players wanting out
than staying

As you yourself and ghost have pointed out.Players cost money not only in transfer fees but wages as well,when you make excuses for our lack of investment.When will you wake up and realise the better players,out of contract or not want wages we refuse to compete with.
The club's value their players at fees we won't compete with.
You know yourself our youth teams have been sh1te for years and the fact hardly any have signed elsewhere proves they were not good enough.

If rafas targets are Townsend , rondon and this Korean guy .. I give up

zzzzzzzzz i see the one trick pony is back from his imaginary trip to Russia. Another anti Rafa thread started , ffs

[pboromag]

so have we evr been this far behind in ay other pre season

we seem to be in complet dissaray

no under 23s in
one extra player in

no one out

manager not commiting

he is willing to let players like mitro mbemeba mourhino go
or cant be arsed to try and be the so called top coach soem think he is and try and get the best from these players

is mitro worst than joselwho

is mbemeba that bad we couldn try and improve the squad and keep playesr like him

he hasnt even gotten any under 23s in that might make the step up

the mans a joke when it comes to wanting to run all things footy related

any manger coming in now would be in a far worse situation than any other manager has left

[TheBigSausage]

Still 36 days to go yet man

[pboromag]

If rafas targets are Townsend , rondon and this Korean guy .. I give up

exaactly

he tends not to use a lot of playesr

so why not buy 3 players at 15-20 mill each
and build a squad

1 forward a defensive mid and a winger

keep mitro mbemba andmerhino
result
a much better squad han last season

if he only gets 40 mill

buy two players

stillbetter than last season

get a couple of loands in
release wages from colback and players he didnt use last season

get rid f a goalie

or two
bring back woody

get rid of josewlo
bring in army to learn

Par for the course, did you expect anything else ?

One problem there.The fat slug won't let 15-20 million be spent on players.

[pboromag]

he has spent a lot on players above 10 mill
