What happened to bang, bang, bang? (1 Viewer)

Otis · Jun 26, 2012

I thought we were supposed to be ready to go bang, bang, bang as soon as the embargo was lifted?

Thorn today has said “After losing out on a few signings during the embargo it was important to nail Shawsy down and hopefully we can get some players in now as well.
“We’re working on it and talking to a few and hopefully we will get them in and everything can be positive again."

You have to think the bang, bang, bang thing then was Collins and Syers, but surely that is just a bang, bang. Where did the other bang go?

Doesn't sound to me like we had many lined up at all. Now seems like we are back to just talking to players again.

SonofErnie · Jun 26, 2012

Well, he's nailed (banged) Shawsy and Harrison's been fired with probably Deegan to follow. There's your 3 bangs. What more do you want !

We've run out of bullets?

Chipfat · Jun 26, 2012

Seems like most other clubs are firing cannons and we have a water pistol

Otis · Jun 26, 2012

We're firing blanks.

Is there a nailed on definition of bang bang bang?! And as if we do our business quickly ever. Can't say I'm panicking too much!

Sky Blue Sheepy · Jun 26, 2012

The way he's worded that does make me think Shaw was one of the 'bang's' but I think that comment has been taken a little too literally. As said above we rarely do things quick and I imagine our budgetry constraints haven't helped. The window itself hasn't opened yet and it is still June, so theres still a month and a bit to go before we need to start panicking.

I was with Maik Taylor at the weekend, he still speaks with Sheffers and he reckons Gary told him he thinks he will be sold to allow money and players in!! Think that most of the High Earners are being earmarked for sale. We will buy but we need to sell first, not sure how the squad size will increase too much.

Otis · Jun 26, 2012

One of the biggest lessons we have to learn from last season is that the squad was too small and needs to increase greatly!

We end up with the same sort of size club and we will be blooding even younger kids this season to come.

torchomatic · Jun 26, 2012

It's not even July yet.

Of course. Lessons have to be learned. But we've only been out the embargo a week. If we haven't made any signings in 2 weeks THEN I'll be worried.

@richh87 · Jun 26, 2012

I fully expect SISU to cock things up with a threadbare squad again.

They've cocked up too any times and been proven to be liars so often that they no longer deserve the benefit of the doubt.

wonder why SISU didnt extend the "early bird" till mid july then ?

What? Because of my opinion?

CovLis86 · Jun 26, 2012

The point being they said they would extend the early bird so they could bring some signings in so supporters could make up their mind's. So far we've signed Richard shaw. Who no offence, I wouldn't have got excited about signing 15 years ago.

SkyBlueJohnso · Jun 26, 2012

i think we all know most, if any of our signings will be free transfers, and i understand that player contracts are tied in until the end of june??? someone correct me if i'm wrong.

so no deals will be done until next week at best once they officially become free agents

So why did Thorn say 'bang, bang, bang' then?

What's the point of anyone saying anything if it doesn't mean anything!

Is that consistent as we've missed three on the list through the embargo and had that not been in place been lead to believe signings would have been made.

AND??

All these so called targets Thorn said he shown round the ground etc... what happened to them?

Or was that just his usual bullshit comments to brainwash people like you?

ccfctommy · Jun 26, 2012

Agree with Torchy, whats the rush? We have a good seven or so weeks til the season starts!

SkyBlueJohnso · Jun 26, 2012

transfer window always hots up after end of june once players are officially released and all back in pre season training

Didn't Thorn say last week he was gutted because his targets went elsewhere?

Now look at whats happened since? No talk of signings or anything... He mentioned he shown players round the ground etc... what happened to them? Or is that more bollocks?

Fans are annoyed becasue he says one thing and does the opposite.

ccfcway · Jun 26, 2012

They have been shown around the ground

They are desperate to come the club

He has his targets - http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/co...o-lift-with-signings-lined-up-92746-31012427/

SISU extend early bird to help fans make an informed decison

all reasons why I belive they should have already been active in the marketplace

People seem to wanna forget that mate. Because after all Thorn never does anything wrong in most eyes on here.

I see the same faces are deluded.

If our only signings will be free's all the average ones will be gone

What's deluded about knowing we never go bang, bang, bang?! I have nothing against thorn, God forbid me not mocking him or believing he's the antichrist when he says something that doesn't happen within a few days!! Nobody in football ever says anything that doesn't then go on to happen.

Exactly.... will end up with the leftovers...

Bit like turning up at a party late and the only food left is the crap no-one else wants.

wingy · Jun 26, 2012

Personally i'd like to see some FFing action now otherwise what have we got to focus on but the ffing accounts which will be published in the next two days.:jerkit:

Not deluded, I just don't panic. Oh and by the way, turning up to a party on time?! Who does that...

That's ok, don't panic. Just dont moan later when were in the shit as last season.

The fat bastards turn up early...

kg82 · Jun 26, 2012

I don't moan either, I have testicles.

If you dont moan then you have no bollocks.

Yes man i take it then... let people walk over you etc... bit like SISU have done with us.

The backbone of supports sit back and allow.

Sky Blue Kid · Jun 26, 2012

I think Torchomatic bought his ST before last season finished mate.....He was never going to do anything else. All this bulls**t about delaying the "Early Bird" till end of June so we can make an "Informed decision" to buy STs'.
AT is a puppet, and spouts as much s**t as SISU(If they don't give me money to buy players, then I'll walk)....what a load of boll**ks!
