Transfer Rumour Thread 21/22

[BackRowArab]

Haven't seen/heard much about Louis Appere. Is he injured?

I believe so, but it has been quiet on him

[Shedboy1971]

That is very definitely true. The Nevilles, Butt, Scholes, Beckham, Giggs etc were the exception to that rule. As Alan Hansen will testify.

exactly

Had to rescue this thread from dropping off Page 1 which tells its own story.
If we're going into our first game on Sunday with just two recognised strikers it's foolhardy in the extreme.

One of the two can't lead the line on his own and say Shankland gets injured we are so far down a dark hole it's untrue.

Plus it would mean any strikers who would be prepared to play under a rookie manager would know we're desperate at that point.

The current midfield is a bad gamble but the striker situation is just a dereliction of duty imo.

You are gonna upset posters who having seen the thread return to its rightful place will think we have made at least one of the promised signings.I would have just let the thread rot mate until promises are kept.

Yeah, was out most of the day and got back in at the time a signing usually gets announced! Mair fool me for getting excited!

As much as I will be backing the coaching staff and team. I will feel extremely let down by the club I love and have supported for over 40 years if we do not bring in at least 2 new players. Expectations have been high for news of new acquisitions not only because we desperately need to strengthening, but because of TCs comments made a few weeks back regarding this. We have stood by our club, and more, during these turbulent times with the vast majority of us waving any credits due when purchasing our STs again in large numbers despite the uncertainty in many of our lives under the pandemic. Moreover, many of us joined the DUSF to help provide much needed funds to push and fund the elite status of our youth academy. After buying into our owners vision for the club moving forward.

Therefore if any members of the board read this forum then be aware that respect and loyalty goes both ways, and as it stands for me and many others the dark days of feeling mislead, let down, and ignored under our previous custodian lingers large in our minds. Something we all hoped, and still do, that we had seen the last of.

That is a great post mate and i think 95% of our support feel the same way as you do including me.

Great post. As you say we'll all be behind Tam and the team come Sunday regardless.

Some of us will also be behind the sofa but you never know we might do ok.
