    Bruce’s Big Overhaul Complete - NOT

    So out goes Carroll - Clarke - Sawyers - Mowatt - Kipre - Johnstone - Fellows - Robinson

    In comes - Okay - Swift - Wallace - Kelly and a kid from league 2 Salford

    Does anyone think this is the big overhaul Bruce promised and a side to get us into the top six?

    I bet the payroll has been reduced further with outgoings and incomings quite a bit! That China f ucker will have an extra 1.5 million in his pocket too!

    Maybe the kid from Salford will do well when Bruce gives him a chance after saying for the 25th time - we need to convert our chances!

    Add in Onomah and Alzate and I’d call that a decent overhaul under the circumstances of having no money.

    What did you expect different?

    Just read Alzate and Onomah fell through due to paperwork. What a shower of sh*te we really are.

    We are even thinner on the ground than before, to not get a striker in yet another transfer window is nothing short of a disgrace, when we are 4-0 down to Burnley at half time that might make these thick, stupid morons that laughingly run the club realise we are heading to lg 1 at an alarming rate
    Another injury or so and suspensions and that’s us finished
    Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if we had no real intention of signing Alzate and Onomah in the first place

    If it’s true that the Onomah and Alzate deals have fallen through .... and not seen it confirmed yet ... then that will be a f*****g disgrace. Will hold my breath for now .... but if true then it’s time for some Lai Out protests ... we are far too passive watching this car crash happen to our once great club ... but let’s see it confirmed ....

    As Mick pointed out - the 1.5 million in Lai’s pocket from the Robinson sale went through very efficiently!

    If anyone feels the squad is overall not weaker they are deluded!

    If Bruce again says we should convert our chances without again a recognised number 9 - he can f uck right off!

    I'm not sure we should be blaming Bruce. I doubt he is making many of the decisions on recruitment.

    Not Lai’s fault TGH and Cleary can’t get any minutes! Not Lai’s fault absolute donkeys like Reach and Zohorse are on the bench!

    We need a progressive young manager with vision! Look no further than the Brentford or Brighton manager! The Forest Green manager who went to Watford now improving the style of football!

    Sick of hearing Bruce say we should be converting the chances every f uckin game! So will he throw in the Salford kid then as Cleary quite clearly is not rated like TGH!

    Who said the complete overhaul could be done in one window?

    No one is disputing that it needs doing but without substantial funds you have to have several windows to achieve an overhaul, whoever is the Manager. We have done well in my opinion to get some overpaid ageing players off the books for once. Fellows is the only one I think has a future but at least he should get game-time at Crawley.

    Deals having to be either small or primarily loans it was always going to go to the wire and let’s see what finally happens about Onomah still could happen.

    Far better window than I expected if we get Onomah but to be honest my expectations from this shower are low and have been since the Boro game.

    I feel the criticism of Bruce is fair on team selections, not playing the youngsters, the style we play but let’s give him some slack where he doesn’t have the final say.

    All about opinions and yes there’s more creativity but less depth! The defence is weaker without Clarke who was a snip at 2.5 million. Yes good to get Robinson off our books but many would say he will improve Cardiff and Lai’s pocket as clearly he needs the cash due to his loans. Let’s hope ( here and now ) the Salford kid can show he’s better than Robinson.

    So back to - who will score the goals to get us promoted like Mitrovic did for Fulham? Clearly Grant is not a number 9 so will it be the Salford kid? Due to the shocking lack of minutes for TGH do we honestly expect Bruce to try the Salford kid? If not or even a 4-4-2 - then Bruce should shut the f uck up about missing easy chances every single game and think why!!

    As for Bartley back - God help us!!! Preferred Kipre to be honest!
