New signings

'There', prick...please learn to spell like most others on here.
Other than that, the content's drivel.

Hey, Oxo cube.

One could say the same about the formating of your sentances and the way you have constructed your ill thought out grammer.

Actually my crumbling Oxo friend, what part of my sentance is wrong. You do know that "they're" is short for "they are"?

It's "sentence", not "sentance".

Thank you, I know.

Just had a few spare letter A's on my keyboard that I needed to use up and I figured they fitted in well there. But cheers anyway...

Are the Welsh another race then?

Not everyone a fan of Rasiak I see:

You do wonder with the frequency of moves and a lot of negative comments from Southampton and other ex-club's fans whether we will get 6 great months then a whole load of nothing. Same with comments abour McAnuff's lack of consistency from Watford fans. So BR clearly rates himself highly in his ability to get the best out of inconsistent players. Put Kebe in the mix as well as some of the yongsters so far this season and let's hope he's right!

One of them would have been better fitted into 'grammar' (rather than grammer)!

two utterly utterly shite signings, so these two are supposed to make up for all the exits of decent players

it's like selling your BMW and reassuring the wife that you'll get a quality motor to replace it and then wheeling out a clapped out Nissan Sunny

In his last 154 games Kevin Doyle has scored 55 goals.

In his last 155 games, Gregorsz Rasiak has scored, guess what, 55 goals.

In International appearances, Doyle has scored 6 from 26 games, and Rasiak has scored 8 from 37.

------------------------------------------------------

In 156 games for Reading Stephen Hunt scored 17 goals.

In his last 157 games Jobi McAnuff has scored, guess what, 17 goals.

------------------------------------------------------

Seems like some like for like replacements. But no, brainless Gus sees them as utterly, utterly shite. Baaaah!

Good digging! If they can be as good as Doyle and S. Hunt, I'd be happy!

+1

[Stooper]

I'd be happy with Abdou. Seen him numerous times for Millwall, but too many options in that position at the moment.

I think they could be shrewd signings, I'm more looking forward to McAnuff than Rasiak - Mifsud will be interesting too.

[Mr Optimist]

If I could also add formatting is spelt with two t's.

Cymru am byth

[papereyes]

If Rasiak proves to be a stopgap for a season, maybe two, while we bring in someone younger and more mobile, then that would be a good call.

My only fear with the potential 'Super Six' is that we get another TB style disaster. I don't blame Burns for what he did, we were going down regardless and he had 1 day to try and do something, it didn't work.

There was some interesting stuff on that in Primus's book. Basically, those signings came in and formed a clique in the dressing room. Further to that - they weren't very good and they were joining a not very good team with no confidence.

So we are now going down the stop gap route are we? Still doesn't feel as if many trees will be pulled up. Isn't Rasiak a slower version of Keith Scott?

The Hadenuff signing intrigues me. There has been a wide gamut of opinion regarding him. What will we get? A Convey / Little vintage 2005/06 or will it be more in line with Kebe / Shunt (second halves of seasons)?

I am not convinced.

In the short term, It's all about staying up whilst the youngsters improve. I would imagine these signings are aimed at that.

That's the extent of this club's ambitions at the moment, that and the hope that three other championship sides go into administration.

Very good

Whether Rasiak is a stopgap or not, it's still better than having no target strikers at all.

[Terminal Boardom]

Hence the ever pressing need for creativity in the final third. It is not just about having a big lump up front ala Parkin at PNE. Our probelem last season was that the supply dried up. 1 goal in 4 league games could suggest that this has not been addressed yet. Hopefully, Hadenuff will do the biz. If not then we are stuck with the dazzling brilliance of Kebe and Henry

As fot target strikers, we have Shane Long

That's like saying that you would rather contract cholera than diptheria

Interesting comments about a convey/little vintage. I was uninspired by Little's permanent signing. He didn't do an awful lot when on loan with us and i was a bit bemused. Goes to show how players can react differently under changed circumstances.

What i take friom that is that both McAnuff and Rasiak have quality and it may be that the current circumstances allows that to shine. If it's a stop gap and helps us out....no issues from me as long as it provides a platform to build.

I am quite excited about this season to be honest......we have taken a 5 year step back, but it would be great to get another go on a ride like that.

If it goes tits up it would be dissappointing as we had the opportunity to consolidate as a prem team....but wouldn't that get dull and exhasperating after a while too??
