All down to perceptions and expectations but, as said above:

Oster. Quality, ex prem, ex big clubs. Still many years left. In reference to mouthwatering this was like a leaky outside tap too many on here. Now it's more like Niagra Falls.

Fortune. Same write up as above, but through injuries...it never happened....but who knows, he could have been another Oster in terms of improvement on the squad.


Mustapha and Byron......maybe not mouthwatering (short term, over this season)


Martis........Could go into the mouthwatering section (but before you say it, that was mid season)


Shacks and Billy.........loanees but still signed for season and having to pay for their services. Mouthwatering? I would say so?


It's now you interpret 'mouthwatering' yourself that's significant. For me some of the above were/and still are, mouthwatering. Not that I'm saying anybody is......but if you are looking for Lionel, Andreas, Wesley, Christiano to be mouthwatering then perhaps we need to set our sights/mouthwatering lower. Oster, Billy, Shack have been mouthwatering at our level IMO

Good post Cussie, some seem to forget where we were 20 years ago especially when we come to the end of a season.
The VSC always goes into ''meltdown''and negativity grips this forum like a vice!
As you quite rightly said, we have had some 'mouthwatering' players in the context of the evolution of our club and that has been shown by some of the great performances under very difficult circumstances i.e. injuries throughout the season. Who has failed to be inspired by some of the great footy that we have had the pleasure of watching throughout this season even when we have cruelly lost but with style.
I for one, have always realised that JR has a plan for most if not all eventualities and I see no reason at all why that should change going into the future. Some must realise that when climbing the ladder of the football league that every foot becomes harder and harder and given our financial circumstances we have and still continue to over-achieve. I believe we will continue to climb given the solid platform that we continue to build on year on year.
Yes there are undoubtedly problems in the Media/Marketing and Merchandising areas of the day to day running of the club that have been found wanting but know that the ''on the pitch'' activities in terms of funding have and will take precedence (thank God) and that these will eventually be addressed.
I don't believe that JR should have to come out and continually express his intentions more fully to the supporters.........he does enough of that in my view already ; supporters of many other clubs would die to have a Chairman that involves himself with the supporters to the extent he does, wouldn't they ?

I fully agree with you but would you agree that all that JR has to do it to say 'OK folks I know where the problems lay and you'll be seeing a difference by next season's start'. No expansion needed on such a statement and all should be satisfied. I would be. In JR I trust. End of.
