Pete the Pole was 800k, Igor close to 2m, for starters. he spent but wasted most of it.RonnieMoore said:

Agreed, in reality we're missing 2 first teamers in Purrington and Gilbey. Watson left his legs in Nottingham, it's the equivalent of a once great player finishing in Qatar or Australia for a final paydaySouthbank said:Of the 4 missing Watson is past it and Schwarz looks very dodgy. Even more of a problem is that neither our midfield or forward line looks up to it. So we don't just need more bodies, we need better quality bodies in 4 or 5 positions than the ones we have.2 -
Newport had a 42 year old left winger playing today in their win against Ipswich. Maybe worth a look.10

He shouldn’t be anywhere near it! Neither should Clayden but this is where we are right now, and it’s terrifying!Billyboy said:I think ged roddy is pulling the strings in recruitment, and that frightens me, and can see gallen and adkins being right pissed off about it,, even his son shouldn't be anywhere near the team either... just my opinionWas genuinely excited to see some of the younger players get a crack tonight but I’ve left massively concerned and trying not to have a knee jerk reaction.Let’s hope there’s some activity over the next 10 days otherwise I can feel the pressure canister for many fans reaching its limit.1 - Sponsored links:

As in I was disappointed with his post game interview. Him suggesting that there was lots of positives is kind of insulting. I was excited to see some of the younger talent but it was the worst I’ve seen us play for a long time.Valley11 said:4 -

I asked my mate who supports the Blades:
"What pissed us off was his excessive positivity. We lost 0-4 at home to Northampton ... yes, fucking Northampton ... and Adkins still found some positives."3 -
Probably generous to put this in the Rumours section but did ask NA tonight about transfers and the line is in here

I've said it so many times and I'll say it again, the likes of Clayden, Ghandour, Barker, Elewere and Roddy are nowhere near good enough to be squad players, not yet.
People who point to other youngsters who stepped up like Doughty, Aribo, Lookman, Shelvey, Gomez, Konsa, Cousins etc. miss the point. They were all earmarked in the youth squads, and when they played mens football they stood out, even against senior pros. Nothing against the lads we have in the academy right now, but none of them stand out in men's football, and if they do it's for the wrong reasons.
We need:
McGillivray, New GK
Matthews, GunterInniss, New RCB
Famewo, PearceNew LB, Purrington
Dobson, WatsonGilbey, ClareNew CAM, MorganJaiyesimi, New RW
New LW, Washington
Stockley, DavidsonNew ST, Schwartz
With JFC a bit of a wildcard as we don't know when he'll be back12 -
In a weird situation because whilst I believe this to be true, you're the one saying it so I have to think it's actually not.RonnieMoore said:
That is not the case SG is head man in the recruitment set up … and SG has said many times his recruitment team are working hard behind the scenes….Billyboy said:I think ged roddy is pulling the strings in recruitment, and that frightens me, and can see gallen and adkins being right pissed off about it,, even his son shouldn't be anywhere near the team either... just my opinion6 -

So Gilbey out for a few more weeks and Schwartz playing in an under 23 game rather than Cup game with under 23s?

It's painfully clear that the current squad is nowhere good enough to challenge for promotion ... either automatic or via the play-offs.
Yes, we have some time to improve the squad, but we've left ourselves a lot to do.
Even with what we have, we look like a hoofball team aiming for Stockley's head.
OK, so that's Plan A. There is no apparent Plan B.
Is the honeymoon over for Sandgaard? Yes, he has saved the Club. But he has shot himself in the foot with the fine words about reaching the Premier League in five years.
If we believe what we read, we also committed to a £500k per year rental agreement with Duchatelet for the next 15 years. Nice. And someone else with have to deal with the consequences when that agreement comes to an end.
No significant investment in what was going to be a Summer of Love where we built a squad to "blow it out of this division."
Sandgaard seems to be a nice guy, with honourable intent. But I sense that the cost of his dreams is now dawning upon him ... and he's coming up short.
Football is not a place to make money, Thomas. In fact, the opposite.
If you want into this, you have to do better.18 -
Kirk was almost over the line before his situation last weekend. We are Hopeful we will pick up where it was left18

Ipswich are throwing money about and bought a lot but not winning either
Lincoln proved last season that you can compete in this league without spending too much. Tom may be saving his money for until we get to the Championship. Then he spunkz it all and gambles.
That's the feeling I get from the guy.6 -
Fair comment. 1 shot on target in 2 games. 0 goals. It's awful. I don't blame someone doing that.Scoham said:

Our academy's best prospects have been taken year on year and we are left with the lesser prospects. Our professional squad lacks any stand out players.
We have signed 2 league 1 cast offs in midfield who may improve. Stockley is a good signing but needs to play in a 2. He doesn't score enough to play up top on his own.
Our 20/21/22 year old players aren't good enough.2 -
Even if we sign Kirk in a week or so. That doesn't solve anything.
He's not hiding the other 6 players we need in his pocket. And there's zero rumours of those players anywhere.20 -
So I think we agree that Lincoln competed without spending a lot.killerandflash said:

It is a term to state how much investment we need in this squad of players. I dont think for a second we should be paying lads 10k a week in this league or spending fortunes but we need significant investment in the playing squad.
