Agree 100%. If (and nobody has a crystal ball) Sheaf stays mainly fit between now and the January window, it would almost certainly be a waste giving James a contract. It's almost like forking out for a breakdown insurance policy for 3 months. I would hope we would be active in the January window, whether a loan or permanent signing re: cover/strengthening.
He certainly wasn't - but let's be honest, none of us know where he is now in terms of fitness (regardless of how much he has/hasn't regressed since last we had him). I have reservations about giving him a contract and would hope the MR/the coaches can come up with a tweak to our system/formation that makes us more effective when we have to cope with Sheaf's absence. If we lose to Watford (who are a dangerous outfit) I expect the usual meltdown from some, but I'm not going to get too concerned, unless we manage to mess up against what I think is a weaker than usual Swansea side (the Spurs game being irrelevant in the bigger picture) Ever the optimist. PUSB!
Winding DK up!
couldn't never renew unless health f%cks me up that is
I have a breakdown policy and hope I never need to use it. Isn't that the point of a policy so that you're covered for the unexpected time that you do need it?
Turner deliberately missed half the interview out for clicks i feel. Robins said in that same interview that he was back training this week.
Yea, but I bet you ain't paying £10,000+ per week for your insurance policy!
I want to see a decent performance for the whole 90 first and foremost. If we still lose despite that then fine, but it’s frustrating seeing us lose without really making the opposition earn it.
MR wanted Palmer to stay.
Really?
Presumably Robins wanted someone other than James before the transfer window shut but Doug and his recruitment team failed to deliver.
No but clearly didn't want him to leave on deadline day.
"That wasn’t our doing, that was forced through by the player and his agent. He’s in the last year of his contract. With Kasey you understand that as soon as you don’t offer him a new contract, and I wasn’t in a position to offer him a new contract, you know what he’s likely to do and how he’s likely to be. And there’s no point having him."
So far that's Sid James and Louie Walsh in the team.
Armstrong, the jazz trumpeter too maybe?
Depends who’s available. Or…alive, really.
It is if they are unable to perform and put up the goal scoring numbers we want from them.
Andrews over James? And there ends any meaningful debate with you.
