Well if this lads coming in as a defender, here's hoping he can kick a ball 40-50 yards in a straight line, he should fit right in, if he agrees to join with a view to playing in midfield hard lines Baily, will see a heck of a lot of the football, sadly flying right over your head and for a goal kick or throw in , at least should be able amuse your self watching Benners fall over trying to get on the end of our brand of cheap basic white label hoofball.

Knew his cousin Arthur - now he was the pits.

Whether we sign anyone or not, in all likelihood if we do it will be some untried kid (such as the lad being mentioned) who may or may not be a success at this level. But, it really brings it home when you look at Portsmouth and what they have done in the last 24 hours in order to try and ensure they stay up, they have sacked their Manager installed Andy Awford and then signed Danny Hollands on loan from Charlton (quality signing at this level) and are now being linked with a move for the former Premiership star Jamie O'Hara!!!!

Meanwhile poor old Northampton missed out (it seems) on a deal to bring Ade Akinfenwa back, poor them I guess they will just have to get by with Emile Sinclair, Alan Connell, Roy O'Donovan and the returning John Marquis!

Based on attendances alone I think the two mentioned clubs have more resources than us! Also remember Pompey are where they are because of financial mismanagement

And

We are where we are due to crap signings (please include all boardroom signings).

What do you mean "and"?

It goes to the very heart of the thing. Northampton are simply buying their way out of trouble. If we had another 10 or 12 grand a week to spend on loanees, we'd have Marquis, we'd have Connell and we'd be scoring goals and picking up points. We'd never have signed these players who have turned out to be crap, because we'd have been operating in a different market.

I really do think some of you fail to realise just how much money plays a part and just how little we get by on. There are Skrill South sides paying similar money to us and Conference sides who can blow us away in the transfer market, yet we're in L2 and always have been.

**** me, I've dropped enough hints over the years, I'd have thought one of you might have spotted it...

You only have to look at Forest Green, Luke Rogers and Lee Hughes up front, average crowd of about 1,100

Just read on another site that we may well have signed a striker before the deadline and that we are awaiting FL ratification before an announcement later today. Here's hoping for some better news.

New stand - how much?
New training ground - how much?
Big TV - how much?
Crap signings - how much?
Compensations - how much?

We are where we are due mismanagement. Poor decision making has left us with a Poor manager and team alike.

The board went to the market with a (cash) cow and brought back some beans!

Same here, I imagine we aren't paying any of the Bournemouth lads wages so what we've been using on Enoch will go on this guy
