New signings

[WTF11]

He will have my support too, Rev. At least until it is obvious he is way out of his depth...or his heart isn't in it! We don't know either of those just yet....

And as so many others who the owners are happy to regard as cash cows, f00king delusional.

Give the lad a chance FFS!

If I thought those who were responsible for his appointment were in any way capable or responsible I might, but they aren't and I don't.

Sackho ran about a lot and delivered next to the square root of diddly squat. Why would we want to repeat that particular experience?

"He's very quick and skilful". And that opinion is based on what?

"His stats aren't bad for a struggling la liga side", and we aspire to be that "good".

When is it likely that those players we see incoming show the true colours of the owners aspirations? If this is it, League 1 beckons, but maybe some are ok with that.

Comparing to Sacko is bizarre. That's one player from a while ago who is a totally difftindividual.
He's very quick and skillful is based on how he plays the game, what else would it be based on ?
A player doing ok/good in a struggling laliga side may well do better in a league with much less quality. So yes I see that potential.
What I agree on is yet again poor planning, if there is any at all. And we always seem to be rock bottom of the cash in and out in comparison to any other club.

Exactly - like his back story too came through Man U’s academy and they wanted to keep him
but he left to get first team football. Was the best player in his La Liga side and out in some good performances against some top sides.

Fact he had the good sense to get out of Man U suggests the lad has some common sense too.

Nothing like some of us writing people off before the book has been read.

Had the same accusation levelled against me over many seasons during which time we signed the likes of Sloth, Buoy, Sackho, JKA, Roca, Kristensen, etc, etc. Happy with my judgement prior to those and similar "playing" for us versus that of those signing the cheques. Same applies to this newcomer.

If you slag every player off we sign you are bound to be right on some. You might at least allow them the chance to show what they can do before passing judgement.

Believe you slagged Bielsa and Rapha too when we first signed them - hey ho

WTF - “Been a LUFC supporter since I was 8, I'm now 68 and really past caring what becomes of the club I have followed for all that time?”

Bye then 👏

He wears the shirt so he gets your support. Explains EVERYTHING that is wrong with this club.

The owners KNOW that the vast majority of supporters will do exactly the same, and f00k us over time and time and f00king time AGAIN!!!!!!

Been a LUFC supporter since I was 8, I'm now 68 and really past caring what becomes of the club I have followed for all that time. Why?

We haven't had owners since Mr Silver and Manny who valued the club more than themselves, all who followed have traded in what was created under their ownership and via the management of the great Don. Others followed and attempted to replicate what went before, none, even Macallister etc, succeeded. All the more recent ownership transfers have been a grubby scramble for the bare bones of what was once a proud and creditable club, including our most recent manifestation of "the next big thing".

Cussins and Silver… managed to help turn the biggest club in the land into a dog’s dinner with their lack of forward thinking. We could have have signed anybody we wanted..Selling 2 of our players to scum and not giving Johnny Giles the managers job to boot…Harry Reynolds, Albert Morris and Percy Woodward oversaw the important building of the club.

It would appear that it is 'That time of the month' for one of our fellow posters on here.
