Look at these injury stats. The cheeky fucker has been on full pay (probably) for over a year for being crocked…

Nice, but painful work if you can get it

If I was looking to buy / loan a striker I’d have my doubts Tbf

Edit: D’ings ain’t any better.

With Ralph’s way of playing, that doesn’t bode well.
Shane Long is our future, which kind of makes @Barry-Sanchez correct :joy:

Think our plan is to thin the squad this window and summer thin more but improve on quality

Or just gamble on our status and not buy anyone.

Yes the plan is to buy players and elevate our squad, we sell Austin which makes perfect sense but replace him with who?
Ings up front can not be relied on, Long to score goals? Gabbiadini has gone so its a huge gamble isn’t it?
Are you happy with that?
On the defensive side as well what are we doing?
Who’s coming in?

Its a gamble and done on the cheap, no doubt about it.

Get used to it Baz because we ain’t spending £50m on anyone anytime soon or paying them >£100k a week.

Just accept it. Get on the bus… * ding ding* :lou_wink_2:

The bus has been sold, its now a shitty old raleigh budgy, they’ll try to remain the premiership on the bare minimum attempting to take out the maximum, bollocks to the fans they don’t matter, trophies don’t matter, fuck even attempting to win a fucking trophy doesnt matter, tv money and rights do.

Get on the budgie then Baz, I’ll give you a dubby (or ‘backie’ depending where you’re from, I try to be inclusive) :lou_wink_2:

Dubbie defo, I use to love the budgie and chopper.
