Snakeater 26 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Did anyone else think that with less than 24 hours to go of the transfer window that we would only have signed one centre back by now and it would have been 37 year old Clint Hill? Im struggling to believe that Warbs and Weir couldn't have identified that as our biggest weakness within the squad? I would have thought that would have been our biggest outlay rather than another centre forward. Regardless of whether Senderos signs or not it smacks of last minute buys which don't please me seeing as how bad we still are defensively. I hope we manage to pull couple players on loan or something from down south and maybe that's why it's a bit quiet but it is concerning giving the closing off the window shortly.....

weeto 112 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I honestly believed we were going to bring in a load of up and coming youngsters and a couple of more experienced stars. Instead it has been bargain bucket signings and a bunch of washed up guys that used to be someone. And Warburton was obsessed with midfield yet again despite the gaping hole at the back and the lack of out and out strikers at the club.

Bad Robot 21,294 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I honestly don't believe our current CDs are good enough and if we keep dropping points over the next couple of months I will be well pissed off and the buck will stop at MW and the board.

Why the board? They have backed the manager - he is the one who identifies the positions he thinks need strengthening Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlearyEyedBear 4,148 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I thought it was strange when we let McGregor go, but trusted that Warbs had a plan for what he wanted at the back. I wasn't expecting Hill, and now Senderos. At this rate, we'll be bringing Davie Weir out of retirement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone who can't remember our successful years we had defenders like Gary Stevens, Richard Gough, Terry Butcher, John Brown all of these guys were better than what we have now. We built a solid defense then added the class in midfield and up front. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
