New signings?
Posted: Wed Sep 01, 2021 8:31 am
Now that the transfer window is closed can we expect some would-be full timers who didn't get fixed up to be looking for part time employment?

Potentially, although clubs are still able to sign and register un-attached players outside of the transfer window, they are just not allows to transfer player registrations. Far more likely that clubs higher up will either look to loan players out who aren't currently getting much game time to keep them fit, or be looking to off load wages after they made late signings that they maybe didn't expect to become available.
We do want Lawlor on loan according to Craig Stoddart/Nick LoughlinJE93 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 01, 2021 9:22 amPotentially, although clubs are still able to sign and register un-attached players outside of the transfer window, they are just not allows to transfer player registrations.

For example Jake Lawlor hasn't started a league game for Hartlepool yet and has largely been out of the match day squad or an unused sub could we potentially bring him in on an initial 1 month loan?
There's not a chance Storey will start tomorrow if Lex and Taylor are fitJE93 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 9:01 amWithout reinforcements arriving I was wondering whether we change shape for Saturday and go 5-3-2. Bring Beeden and his size into CB with Taylor and Storey, and just give Beeden the instruction of go and head the ball, anything in the air he is there to attack, if the CF drops deep Beeden goes with him to hassle and Storey and Taylor are there to drop off and cover in behind that. Going forwards it let's us play two strikers and we saw in pre-season Griffiths and Smith are capable of putting good balls into the box.
--------------------------- Taylor ---------------------------
----------- Taylor --- Beeden --- Storey -----------
Griffiths ------------------------------------------ Smith
---------------- Purver ------- Wheatley --------------
------------------------- Hatfield --------------------------
--------------- Cassidy ------ Charman -------------
If you can point where AA has said any of his new signings aren’t good enough, I’d be very grateful.PierremontQuaker03 wrote:Only two games in and I'm getting tired of listening to Alun whinging, he signed these players, and yet he complains they are not good enough.

I know Alun's teams usually get better later in the season, but given the start York have had (I had them as massive favourites) we really have zero momentum at the moment. A defeat on Saturday and the knives will be out.

He’s said the defenders aren’t playing well (which is true) and has said Storey hasn’t stepped up (again, true).
But I haven’t heard him say the players aren’t good enough.
But that doesn’t fit your agenda, so you twist things to have a moan. There’ll be no knives out this weekend among anyone other than the reactionary gobshites who just seek attention. Most right-minded people will give the new squad time to gel.
I take it you are referring to me as gobshite? So I cannot have an opinion? Alun said last season he had no leaders at the back. That's why he brought Tommy Taylor in goal. He hasn't got a leader in defence now - two relatively young centre halves as Hunt has gone.Darlobill wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 12:34 pm“ reactionary gobshites” the ironyDarlogramps wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 11:29 amIf you can point where AA has said any of his new signings aren’t good enough, I’d be very grateful.PierremontQuaker03 wrote:Only two games in and I'm getting tired of listening to Alun whinging, he signed these players, and yet he complains they are not good enough.

Why is the stock response from snowflakes like you when someone disagrees with you to say “So I can’t have an opinion!”
Get over yourself soft lad. You can have an opinion. I can have an opinion.
And my opinion is that your opinion is reactionary nonsense.

I’m all for enjoying being back at the football, me especially - I’m loving being back.
If you simply challenged people's opinions I for 1 would have far less of a problem with what you post as there are times when I totally agree with what you say, but the way you put people down is both insulting and boring, and in most cases overshadows the point you make.Darlogramps wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 6:11 pmNot everyone I disagree with.EDJOHNS wrote:The problem most people have with your "opinion is not that you have 1, just that you are so bloody offensive towards anyone you disagree withDarlogramps wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 12:50 pm.PierremontQuaker03 wrote:I take it you are referring to me as gobshite?

I simply challenge people’s opinions. It’s up to them to decide how they respond. Plenty on here react reasonably. A handful though seem to think they’re above being challenged.
You’ve hurled more abuse towards me and others than I care to remember, so spare me the holier than thou act. You’re more than happy to dish out the “offensive” stuff when it suits you.
Anyway, this thread isn’t a bitch-fest about me. Let’s keep it on topic and leave it there. Any complaints about my “offensive” behaviour, send me a DM, rather than trying to score points here.

I did request we keep the thread on topic and not have it as a bitch-fest. Sadly Ted’s ridiculous ego means he’s more interested in tedious points-scoring.
Ted, seeing as though you’re choosing to be childish and de-rail the thread, I’m going to reply via DM. I’ve got lots of examples of your unprovoked abusive attacks on other people.
Blimey Ted, you aren’t half thin-skinned.EDJOHNS wrote:Ps, no DM sent !!!!
