Too much flapaboutery going on here Getting a good loan striker is better than picking the scraps of what's available, or throwing money away by teasing a player from a club that he's already settled in for the season. At this stage of the season, buying is at a premium, loaning is where the market is advantageous.The January window may be where an astute purchase happens, or maybe there's one about to happen. As said, nowhere did DM say he wasn't looking at buying. Clubs know we have cash, and by stating the need to buy the price will be pushed up. Jeez, I hope none of the flappers here are after a second hand car!We're also potentially looking at buying a centre back.And the folks questioning the board pocketing money given all the evidence over recent years, and currently, need to f**k right off. Ooops I said it, f**k right off.

How anyone can argue against this being very poor planning is beyond meHow come everyone is now saying what I was implying a week ago but got dogs abuse for.When you say we shouldn’t of let Marquis go, are you actually proposing that we should have kept him against his wishes?Not quite kidnapping, but being kept captive and being made to play I assume?and how do you think that would have panned out?Do you think he would have put his all into chasing and harrying defences, putting in potential career changing tackles, bearing in mind he wants the big pay day....are you thinking the rest of the players would rally to him and support him, knowing he was jumping ship once we got his replacement in...I don’t get what you think a disgruntled player can offer to a club once he’s made his mind up to leave!! Please enlighten me with a reasonable response steeped in facts not fantasy...What’s the point in contracts then if every player who wants to leave should just be let go. “Being held captive and being made to play” are you being serious... you mean actually doing his job... you do write some absolute rubbish

How long does it take to identify a striker. If DM and his staff are struggling to identify a striker rather than relying on “stop gaps” then maybe we need to bring someone in to take charge of the recruitment side of things so DM can concentrate on coaching the side. To be going into week 3 of the season without a single striker in your first team squad isn’t good enough imo. We have played 2 bang average sides and only got 2 points. The next 2 games will be a great deal tougher

Might be worth us becoming someone's feeder club as we only bother with loans

Just reverse what you said and apply it for the loanee.edit: and why would it have to be a hastily made decision (by definition)? The transfer window closes in september.
Two points both scored by a sub with 40 minutes play time in both games(means the sub only played 20 minutes,70 minutes of the same rubbish as the first match )What does this actually mean?( we have nothing else to improve the team with)Does that say something (either poor wages or the lenght of contAlfie May men of match both games, What does this actually mean??? (if thats the best we can do we need help anyboby can looks good in a poor team)I’m sure you have a point to make, and it all made sense has it sluiced through your head, however it appears to have got lost once it left there.... sarcasm is the lowest form of wit
