All the earlier talk of Jodi Jones leaving, now you with babestation - I'd always thought JJ reminded me of a young someone but could never think who.

We could send him to a school of medical science for test on how a professional football can't get fit and stay fit !

No, but he had previously said no room for anybody else unless we won the lottery. I don't think he literally meant millions.
We then paid a fee for somebody and didn't really lose first team players.

Didn't he just say that because he previously said no players were coming in unless they won the lottery?

The one out was the lottery win to allow one in. You have been banging on about too many keepers. Robins believes he has got a good signing. He either didn't fancy Pearson or thought the wages were too high or both.

The 'we might have just won the lottery' comments are now a complete embarrasment.
Dissapointing deadline day to say the least.

Were they? We managed to get a permanent CB in instead of a player who's on non-contract terms - it's an upgrade! Since Carl Baker is now a free agent, we don't have to sign him by the deadline, that is on the assumption both parties are interested.

Yep, but he didn't have to repeat it verbatim.
Oops sorry, yes your right TM did prefer RCC, only excuse was that last season was so forgettable that I thought Burge had started the season. So just 3 of the 4 managers then.But most fans talk of their trust of Robin's judgement,although whether that last too much longer is a mute point, many fans also used to sing Mowbreys praises not that long ago, And yet they don't seem trust his judgement over his choice of goalies.
After all Robins has had several months to directly compare both goalies in training, and he clearly doesn't rate RCC. Like others have remarked he always looked like a frustrated outfield player. At half time at Grimsby he spent the whole time warming up like an outfield player.He always seemed happier with the ball at his feet,than in his hands.Anyway the decision has been made, will be interesting to see how he does at Swindon.

What did he say? Can you paste a quote
Nick

Pretty sure it was just an expression. We paid a fee for a centre half which we needed with mcdonald out.
Nick

He said after one game there's nobody coming in unless we win the lottery, next game he said we might have won the lottery. Obviously hinting that somebody is coming in.

Sorry, but if the outcome of today as it is, were how the lottery comments were intended, then it was always going to wind up an already sensitive fan base.
It's like your missus saying we've won something significant on the lottery. You expect a couple of nice holidays, pay the mortgage off maybe, perhaps even a new car. Instead you come home to a new lawn mower and a pair of hair straighteners. The only good news is that there's just enough left for a few scoops in the City Arms.
It's dissapointing.

People weren't really thinking we were going to be spending a fortune did they? I just assumed he was saying it in reference to his previous comment.
Nick

No it isn't.
It's like your missus saying you can't go on holiday unless you win the lottery but she gets a bonus at work 3 days later and says "Remember what I said the other day? Well I think we might have won the lottery" clearly meaning you are now going to get a holiday.
He had already made comments about the lottery and that we weren't signing anybody, hence he then referred to it. Then everybody whips up a storm about Baker etc.
Nick
Administrator
That's the thing, he clearly was just referring to him saying nobody is signing unless we win the lottery.
People seem to have taken it way too literally.
Otis

Clumsy then.
Put simply;
'Unless we win the lottery.'
Then ...
'We may have just won a little bit on the lottery.'
Otis
Well-Known Member
The thing is, he said 'unless we win the lottery.' We have then since had one player in and one player out.
He simply could have worded it so much better.
Nick

Or people couldn't have taken it so literally.

It's as if the club have made a little bit more available to him to pay a fee.

These are football fans though, Nick. It was obviously going to be read in such a way by a great many.
I wasn't expecting anything major, but was expecting one EXTRA player in, not just one in, one out.
Maybe Baker IS coming tomorrow, who knows.
Nick
Administrator
RCC was never in his plans and not even doing anything with the U23's, so it is effectively one extra player who is actually going to play for us.
This Baker thing as well, everybody is so wrapped up in it and will be heartbroken if he doesn't sign.

Lets give them a clue. 1) They both go down very easily.
Otis
Well-Known Member
We had all agreed though had we not that RCC would almost certainly be going out on loan somewhere so therefore discounted.
As I say, personally I wasn't expecting something major.
Nick
Administrator
So if he had agreed he is going, what's the issue in getting him gone properly to free up money to be used somewhere else?
It's listening to hype and people bigging it up.
I'm more surprised / shocked there hasn't been more outgoings to be honest.

Me too. Was expecting Thomas and possibly Willis or Stevenson.
