For that you need a Harry Redknapp....and Roeder will never be a Harry as long as he has a hole in his arse.....   i) Describing our incoming players as 'ordinary' is just idiotic. Hoolihan interested many other championship clubs, they all can't be chasing an 'ordinary' player... Lupoli, once on the books of Arsenal, who have the one of the best records of recruiting young talent. Lupoli also did well on loan at Derby and Norwich were vying for his signature along with Serie A side Udinese and Siena, hardly 'ordinary.' Sammy Clingon was offered a new contract at Nottingham Forest who are splashing the cash and by all accounts many of their fans were gutted to see him go, again hardly 'ordinary'. Elliot Omozusi, on loan from premiership Fulham and is highly thoughtof at Fulham, hardly 'ordinary'. Stefanovic, a Serbian international, who premiership Fulham paid £1million for only a year ago, previously playing for premiership Portsmouth, hardly 'ordinary.' David Bell impressed whilst on loan at Championship side Leciester last season despite the turmoil at the club, hardly 'ordinary'. And finally Ryan Bertrand is on loan from the Premier league runners up, Champions league runner's up Chelsea. Also he ws on loan here last season and I would say if you couldn't see his obivious class then you must be blind, but you probably don't go to games. Hardly 'ordinary' again is it? ii) Have you ever listend to  Glenn Roeder's team talks? No? Didn't think so. He has manged Premiership sides West Ham and Newcastle. Arsene Wenger rates him and Glenn Roeder is well respected within the coaching community. Just because he doesn't shout his mouth of and play up to the media like Redknapp, that doesn't make him a bad manager.   I am not the dreamer who hangs on Cullum's every whim. I am a realist who can see that the incoming players are far better than 'ordinary'. Whilst in an ideal world we would love to have Cullum's millions, we haven't got them. Time to move on and support your team.    Report

24/07/2008, 10:35 PM Stevie Wonder Joined on 11/01/2007 Thorpe Hamlet Posts 773 Re: Much to gain. Little to lose. I'm not convinced we are entirely on List Q. Certainly Bell & Hoolahan were pretty much the first players mentioned at the end of the season and Bertrand was here last year so again hardly list Q. No idea about Owusumi (?) and what list he was on. Clingan was signed relatively early which again is not indicative of anything more than List B. Stefanovic I will give you as more likely to be second or third choice behind Taylor and maybe Gorkks but he is proven premiership quality. Lupoli could be from any list as he is a rather "leftfield" signing. Who was on Roeder's A and B lists then? No-one obvious has moved on and only really Evans is likely to be unavailable. A lot hinges on what striker(s) we bring in before the window closes. Most people were looking at maybe a £2/3 million budget for transfer of which I would guess there may be £1/£1.5M left. If we sell a Croft or a Russell and Lappin then that may be nearer £2.5M which would be enough to secure Rasiak/Amoebi and Rigters. Much depends on how so many new players gell as if we sign amother new striker then from a likely 1st choice 11 only 4 of them are likely to have been here last year - Marshall, Bertrand/Drury, Doc/Shackell and Russell/Fozzie. We saw last year how the failure to gel a lot of new players together can have disastrous results and not of all Grants summer buys were total rubbish (Marshall, Otsemebor, Russell, Cureton).    Report

Ah Quackers so great you're back... any chance you can persuade Smudge back? would be so much fun to have to two of you arranging protests again! you do however have an interesting point... one which, to an extent may be correct and on the other hand is completly invalid. Grant definetly was a yes-Delia man, looking back he tried failed and left with diginity. Roeder on the other hand i was initially gutted to get, but he saved us from the brink and the team hes putting together looks strong, much stronger than last pre season and i'm getting stupidly over optimistic that we may give spurs a run for their money. Point is Quack Quack you can't peck around with theories of Roeder personifying lala until hes had a proper chance to prove himself - he got Grants team playing, now what can he do with his own.

OTBC   Sadly different days Bly. In those days players were poorly paid...and out there on the pitch because of the game of football itself. A good gaffer was a man in a collar and tie who you respected (and feared) and threat of being dropped meant more than a dent in your inflated "pop-star" ego. Lets hope you're right about Roeder...but I can't see it.
