SISU Back your man... (9 Viewers)

They are backing their man, ask him and he’ll tell you.
And I guess you know that? Having completely ‘backed’ him since his return, on his terms!

Marvellous opportunity to make a real go at getting to the Promised Land this season there’s the real possibility of mega rich Newcastle and a Dean Smith inspired Norwich being in the division next season that’s probably spots one and two sewn up before we start, but will sisu go for it January, I doubt it.

The top 2 are dominant this season - the play offs are realistically the only way we’ll ever go up

You could spend £5m - £10m in January. It would guarantee you nothing in terms of promotion, but your balance sheet (wages included) would look decidedly 'iffy'.

It will be loans, given we are nowhere near using up our quota and that will be the right way to go too. The January window is a notoriously bad time for making permanent signings, and as pointed out we want to avoid being saddled with high earners on a long term basis.

The owners have taken more money out of the club than they have put in
There seems to be no middle ground - it doesn’t mean they have to chuck millions of pounds loaded against the club
It means a targeted level of investment to try and reap a better return
Robins will also in public be on message - why wouldn’t he?

Frankly it’s been iffy for a very long time

I get what you are saying G; my main point is that in this division, throwing money to get in the PL is a fools errand, unless you have very deep pockets. As other clubs have found out (Stoke, Bristol City, Reading etc) you can spend £100m plus and still not succeed; indeed (Derby) you can easily catapult the other way.

It’s not really. COVID has changed the dynamic - even a£5 million investment can make a difference

Or not there’s no guarantees
We’ve ‘gambled’ as you put repeatedly previously on more a occasions than I care to remember and all it’s done is double, triple or quadruple our debt, which is why we are where we are and I rarely if ever recall it paying off. Just my opinion from painful experience.

That’s irrelevant - oddly an owner of a high risk hedge fund you’d think could find some funds in this scenario

You absolutely slated his signings last January?
You said Gyökeres is "no better than Baka"?

Where would you invest? Not a loaded question just curious. If they got the chequebook out for 5 million.

.... but at the time weren't you critcising MR saying James was a wasted signing and instead wanted him to spend money on bringing in Gnanduillet or Glen Murray? You were the bedwetter in chief after the last January window. It is funny reading you now lauding MR's acumen in that transfer window

Any player that improves our chances of finishing in the top six my preference would be an attacking midfielder we just don’t score enough goals from midfield.
I doubt very much we will buy anyone it would be loans I’m sure

Well dont spend anything then and you stay where you are.
Looking good at the moment but we are starting to get cancelled out.
couple of losses or draws and then all this fun we have had will turn to heartache yet again.
We really need to strenghen up the squad give them some help.
Doesnt need to be Millions of pounds.

well
Gyökeres
I’d find it hard to believe Brighton want him. We should sign him even if it’s a loan next season surely I’m mystified why we’ve hardly played him. He’s pretty rough and ready but he’s big physical and can score goals Old fashioned blunder-bus sort but has to be worth a punt surely

I don't have a particular view, it's more that I think if Robins identifies an opportunity to improve the team to help with a play off push he should be backed within reason. I don't think. It doesn't need to be a permanent signing it can be just revenue to pay wages / or a loan fee if that was what was needed.

Going to be really difficult to upgrade our squad in January. Loans to cover potential injuries and suspensions maybe. We do need more bodies, but PL loans want guaranteed playing time. Maybe some Chelsea reserve would be an upgrade, but who do you drop? Lightweight currently regarding left footers. Goalscorers are going to be way expensive and not easy to find. If we can loan a couple out, think we can get a couple with potential in. SISU going for it, unlikely I fear.

Some of our fans are garbage
Touching distance of the autos Only 3 league games lost Battled to the 4th round of the FA Cup More than a match for a mid table Championship team (Lost on pens) And all this while exiled in Birmingham. It makes my pissboil that some of our fans are calling our players garbage. Godden, Baka...
www.skybluestalk.co.uk
Baka and biamou offer more than Godden on and off the ball. Right before Godden wins us the league. No shock all the people who pick on me don’t have a clue [mention]Skyblue1991 [/mention]

Still has 10 days in fairness.
Admittedly outside of the transfer window it would mean us randomly tearing up his contract mind
