If we are in for a few players would you expect him to confirm it. I'm not saying we are in for anyone but for most clubs it's all smoke and mirrors and only the top clubs with the big bucks can afford to be more open and direct.

Those comments were taken out of context the club will have irons in the fire quite a few teams do but Roy has a fantastic poker face therefore won’t make the same mistake the club made with the Solanke deal I for one certainly hope there will be signings , 18 players in a squad is not enough to get through to may otherwise we could be a serious relegation candidate toward the end of the season

Perhaps when our goalkeepers are all fit some of them could play in the outfield

At least 6 players have left and apart from the new keeper,Roy is not expecting anymore signings????
Surely,fake news.

 

Bangell Flag Oxford 18 Jan 19 6.54pm

I wouldn't expect any more signings with this board either

Fair comment I was thinking that, was just trying to say something a bit younger in cheek as opposed to showing any anguish!

You never know but I’ve begrudgingly prepared myself for no more incomings and concentrated my prayers on a glorious Benteke return!

As soon as the window slams shut - Wilf gets injured and one of Benteke or Wickham or both and we are screwed. Absolute joke if true. Freedman is stealing a living

 

Bullhorn76 Flag Darlington 18 Jan 19 8.35pm

We surely can’t be really thinking about playing until may with a squad of 18 players? I mean last year we signed three (albeit very questionable) players but still . Never going to understand SP or DF strategy in not just this window but several before it , if Roy was like allardyce we’d have three to four new bodies through the door by now

If Roy was like Allardyce he would have walked away by now.

Take no notice, completely NOT in the know and just an off the cuff remark so he can feel important and be involved in the thread. He has zero ‘sources’ and unless it’s on Wikipedia, has very little/nothing to contribute.

I agree.

I think Roy is a good poker player.

My word,a pyramid of piffle riddled with inaccuracies.I shall leave it at this as the allegations don't warrant any protracted response.

Well, given that also applies to the rest of us there’s no harm in that.

 

Coach 3 Flag Sandown Isle of Wight 19 Jan 19 5.25am

Really feel let down over transfers, other clubs at the bottom are all moving forward while we are standing still which effectively means we are going backwards. We are desperately short of goals in our team, Wickham and Benteke don’t seem to be the answer neither have given the impression that they can fire the goals we need to get away from the bottom 3. A fresh face may well have been the catalyst to us moving up the table but the board don’t want to spend any money. I suggest this a bit of a short sighted view as we’ve been desperately short of fire power all season.

Thus far in this window there hasn't been much transfer activity in respect of the clubs at the bottom :

Cardiff - Signed Niasse
Huddersfield - Only brought in Puncheon who couldn't make our starting 11.
Fulham - Signed 32 year old Babel
Newcastle - No signings
Burnley - No signings
Southampton - No signings.

Probably advisable to wait until the end of the window, see how the land lies at that juncture and then pass comment.

Certainly not too many positive comments coming out of the club at present and based on this, supporters are of course worried, disappointed and starting to vent their spleens.

Evidence for the two emboldened bits above please?

 


Most certainly not European.
