Bfff...we couldnt spot talent if it shoved a huge pine apple up our 'arris.

Its fustrating I know but I have a gut feeling sumat might happen today...dunno why though

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me if we signed someone on loan today.

Makes me wonder if Megson has any idea about spotting good players though, beyond signing big lads who talk a lot and but a shift in blah blah blah

We're signing Afobe from Arsenal it seems.

Look at this:

Look at this:

obviously I've no idea if he's any good but it makes you wonder if Megson is even aware of these players.

obviously I've no idea if he's any good

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

what's funny about that?

Well, Brentford obviously have a better scouting system, sorry, A scouting system which we dont have . It really irks me that we havent had one for god knows how long, I just hope that MM is putting together a scouting system as it is very important for any club to have one, once we get one in place then there will be gems coming in and our future will look even brighter

We have a scout, he was on 5 live the other night. He works with Chris Evans who also combines his role as coach with that of Head scout.

It's just moaning for sake of moaning.

If we'd signed Jonathan Obika last week folk would have gone mad that he aint good enough. Only played for Yeovil & didn't score any goals etc etc

If we'd signed Harry Forrester last week folk would have wondered who the feck he was & gone mad.

Basically, we'll be fine.

Hmm... Let's get this right. Fails at Watford, fails at Villa, apparently accepted by Ajax but turns them down for Brentford?

Anything smell fishy there? Don't believe everything you read in the press, Tuatological. Clubs generally big up their new signings. It's just possible that's what's happening here.

Obika was rubbish for Swindon, and probably would be rubbish for us.

How do you lot know which players Megson has been interested in. He clearly stated yesterday that he could bring in any number of 50 players that are available but they aren't who he wants and doesnt believe they will improve the current squad.

Spartacus is right to be laughing at you, you are a joke.

Don't bother coming to Hillsborough tomorrow, you lot will be booing after 20 minutes if we aren't 5 up.

I never said we should've signed Forrester but anyway..

Not really sure the relevance of saying 'folk would've gone mad' if we'd signed Obika: are you suggesting that our transfer policy is based on fans' reactions? Or are you just predicting the future so it agrees with your view?

'we'll be fine' - well, noone's going to die if that's what you mean. What exactly is the point of this little comment? You don't half have a way of sayingn nothing but taking about 4 paragraphs to say it..

Can you read English? I've told you numerous times that I don't boo players or get on their backs at games and that what I write on here has no bearing on my support on matchdays, yet you keep ignoring it.

Well stop moaning then, miserable get.

Jonathan Obika is poor, that's why he's gone to Yeovil! Pointless article. Come back with something positive or a good news story

Taut,

The relevance is that you said wouldn't it have been worth signing this guy when the reality is that had we signed this guy folk wouldn't have been happy. It seems you're finding something from nothing to moan at the club about.

if it makes you happy, carry on.

The we'll be fine bit is exactly that, SWFC will be fine & missing out on such illustrious stars as Obika & Forrester won't change that.

As i said, it's just moaning for moaning's sake!

consilio_et_animis

Have you had a nervous breakdown previously or some other life event that prevents you from reading something negative?

Just because it's not shouting from the rooftops about how great Wednesday are, doesn't make it moaning and I just don't see what there is to be positive about at the moment. Neutral is best I can do.

Now, now ladies...What's with all this bickering?

i_monster

No, it's not. It's based on the fact that we're starting a season with 2 forwards on the books, neither of whom exactly set the world alight last season and that we're hoping last team's reserve midfielders in Sedgwick and Jones are going to supply them.

If your expectations are just that SWFC will be fine then I can understand why you're so happy as no doubt we will but others, myself included, see us in the 3rd division and maybe expect a promotion challenge and squad capable of mouting one.

For the love of God! If I was your lots parents i'd bang your heads together

I know, lets sign Teale and Heffernan.

Would that make you happy........?

Taut,

So what you're saying is, we could do with a couple of strikers & a winger.

Everybody knows that & it's frustrating it's taking so long but better to wait & get the players you want than to panic & end up with Francis Jefffers, eh!

Bringing up the fact that Yeovil have signed a player we don't want, haven't been linked with & who not one single SWFC fan has mentioned is moaning for moaning's sake imo.

Fook me, you're hard work. SWFC will be fine in terms of the fact we'll get 2 or 3 of our targets in over the next few weeks & we'll be set up for promotion. I see that as reasonable expectations to be honest!

If you look at the stats for Clinton Morrison, they aren't too bad. 11 goals in twenty eight and with all the cup games we have, he could playing almost double that.

Madeine wasn't far off Mellors goal tally,

So 'cos we haven't been linked with him and no fan has mentioned him we shouldn't sign him. If you don't want him, fine, just say that instead of making out your in charge of the anti-moaning league.

You're the one who's hard work - debate the points instread of moaning about moaning just because you don't agree. If I make a positive point you don't agree with, will that be OK? Sitting on the fence with your wait and see platitudes and everything will be OK. After all, you said that last saeason and it wasn't.

Yep, you hit the nail on the head. We shouldn't have signed Johnathan Obika. Well done.
