Northy – I think he actually said these were ‘exciting’ transfer targets. But Megson is hardly going to come out and say that TP is looking at 5 rubbish players. I will wait to see whether we even buy 5 players, and if we do, will judge each signing on its merits, but I certainly don’t hold much hope. Only time will tell if this is the normal, ‘wait and see who we buy’ cr*p we normally get, or actually there is some meat on the bones of the comment. The cynic in me looks at the fact that the season is only 4 days away. A perfect time to try and rally up some support. How many times have we heard this stuff about looking at exciting players, blah blah blah, only for the club to then announce that ‘we were unlucky not to get our targets’?? I’m tired of hearing a lot of talk, and seeing very little action. Its high time the club put their money where their mouth is!!
If this was the first time we have had issues with signing players I could forgive it, but this happens EVERY single transfer window. God knows how much money is spent behind the scenes on staff wages for every player we actually sign??
