I'd actually agree.
I don't expect a fortune spent, I do understand most cash from transfers has to go back into the running costs, but we do seem to be throwing all our eggs in one striker basket. I'd have expected the McNulty cash to have been used for a replacement for him, sure, but also as a bump to get a deal or two over the line that otherwise we wouldn't have been able to do.
In which case we're in the shit, given most of them are development players!How do you know it wasn't used to get a couple over the line?
Not sure why fans are pissed off with SISU, OP. We've signed a shedload of players and McNulty and his agent engineered the move to the mighty Reading. Nothing to do with SISU, the club or Robins.
True - except for the new formation. That part will go belly upI’m really excited for the new season. Allassani is the new mcnulty, Andreu is like a new signing, bayliss is staying (that’s right huh?!?!), an exciting new formation...what could go wrong?
(I’m actually very optimistic).
I hope you're right, and if Allassani ends up the new McNulty, Robins is a genius.I’m really excited for the new season. Allassani is the new mcnulty, Andreu is like a new signing, bayliss is staying (that’s right huh?!?!), an exciting new formation...what could go wrong?

The reasons why fans are still upset with Sisu remain the same. They have not changed. Can’t be bothered to list everything again but they are still the biggest stumbling block to getting the infrastructure right for sustained progress. As to what people think of them, that was clear the moment Fisher appeared on the screen at Wembley.
out of the players we’ve signed where have we strengthened? most signings are for the development squad. Apart from sterling, Ogogo and junior brown most wont feature. If we miss out on Chaplin which is looking more likely by the day then we could end up with scraps for a striker which is going to make or break our season.
The amount of money we’ve made from promotion, Wembley, Maddison and McNulty the transfer window for me has been disappointing so far

In the medium term it is important we get the right deal for the sale of Bayliss. A panic buy by a big club in January would be good.After Bayliss went to Derby I've already said my goodbyes to Willis.
so your saying that the 1.2 million from reading is a bonus? Not expected? If that’s the case sisu should surely be reinvesting that money into the team as it wasn’t planned?
Oh for heaven's sake get real. Maddison money going to pay off debt of which we have a shitload. We have three good signings where we were looking weak plus Jones (eventually) & Andreu. The rest of the side are the guys that got us promoted..... We had to sell McNulty - and made good money on 12 months investment. I only hope MR is not too obsessed with only one option as a replacement for Sparky.
A good top 10 finish this season would be just the ticket - bed in the new players and be well set up for when the development players come through. Like others I think Allesani may feature sooner than you think
Since McNulty went who have we signed?Which doesn't always mean transfer fees does it?
I guess the new formation may be to make best use of Dujon SterlingTrue - except for the new formation. That part will go belly up
we’re relying on players who have injury issues. Allesani injury prone
Jones Injury prone
Andreu injury prone.
it’s all good and well signing 19 year old with promise. After last season and the buzz round the city. I really thought sisu would go for it and say to robins. Here’s a million pounds go for it. Football is all about momentum. so many teams get back to back promotions. this would be our best chance for promotion if we actually invested some proper money.

Jones broke into men's football at 16 and has played over 100 games sincewe’re relying on players who have injury issues. Allesani injury prone

Are Jones and Andreu injury prone or did they just have a single bad injury?
They are hardly like Keith O'Neill.
the mcnuty/replacement stuff has defintley sapped my optimisim/momentum
however still feel we can have a good season and expect us to get a striker still
Hmm if I were him I'd spunk it ASAP.Robins has said he has been given the McNulty money, (though none of the Madison cash). Though I'm also told that he told supporters in Spain that he needs to hold some back for any January transfer activity.
if robins is solely concentrating on Chaplin then it’s worrying times. End up with scraps especially as the transfer window closes soonwould be much happier if we had a McNulty replacement I as well but I'm sure Robins is working on that.

After the buzz from last season and the short break, I was hoping the momentum from Wembley would carry forward but due to lack of players coming in despite the Maddison and McNulty money it seems many fans are pissed off with sisu again. If we start slowly I can see the sisu out chants starting again.
WHo says they won't be? You and who else?
Don't think that's rightIn many ways if Mason ends up in the first team that's bad, as it means something's gone wrong with Brown.
Can't help but think it's chicken and egg though. I'd say the chanting vanished because the team was winning, it wasn't that the chanting vanished so the team started winning.I want SISU out but the 'SISU out' chanting vanished last season, backing the team reaps benefits.
Any chance you could go back to lurking?you for real? jones has had plenty of injuries during his time here.
Andreu since 2015 has played a total of 52 games I think. and went of injured Saturday against Stevenage

I certainly think he’s an option ‘up top’ that hasn’t really been properly considered on here as a direct replacement for mcnulty.I hope you're right, and if Allassani ends up the new McNulty, Robins is a genius.
We seem to always get last pick when everybody else has finished.After the buzz from last season and the short break, I was hoping the momentum from Wembley would carry forward but due to lack of players coming in despite the Maddison and McNulty money it seems many fans are pissed off with sisu again.

tbh it's more that it's asking a lot for him to come from the level he has, and star immediately. Suspect Robins wasn't anticipating that, either. If it comes off, great, but it's much like asking Ponticelli to whack in 15 goals next season. He might, of course, but we've yet to see any evidence of it happening, so it's a risky unknown. Only the manager and coaching team can make the decision based on training, but I'd be happier if they had someone else to get past too.I certainly think he’s an option ‘up top’ that hasn’t really been properly considered on here as a direct replacement for mcnulty.
Might mean we need to look at getting a winger in...
