So with our current position , the injuries some which seem they could reoccur MVV the best example . The fact we are in 4 competitions still. The fact we are not constricted by FFP compared to others, where would you say our degree of urgency out of the 1-20 teams in the Premier League.

I think the injury crisis, 4 comps , FFP wriggle room which we have I think we are right up there as most in need personally . One could argue about teams in the relegation spots but Saints know they are down. Everton not quite in relegation spots but are financially trapped .

I’m sure City , Woolwich would like to add but they don’t have 10-11 serious injuries .

As for signing the keeper it was negligent to start the season with Forster as back up , no applause from me for correcting a dreadful mistake 6 months late

There are also squad harmony issues to consider. If we bought another CB for instance, and Romero, VDV and Davies are back in a couple of weeks, then we’d have more players sitting around not playing. If you can’t even get your preferred targets this is a mistake.
 
Great why can’t we give him time? We are short of bodies in that area so surely good opportunity to give him a go. Still get why other clubs can play their academy players yet we can’t or won’t. Dippers played a few kids today v Stanley.

Every year our fans say we have urgency like you’ve never seen before.

I have an urgency not to make signings that will become deadwood in 6 months.

The best players don’t move mid season.

We will have a lot of players come back from injury in the next month.

If we made one more quality signing I’d be happy.

So would I, I just can’t accept the narrative of hey look we signed someone and the others have not as some kind of win . No way is Forster an Ange type keeper and I do not believe he wanted to start the season with him as back up . I think the two positions that remain of grave concern are a player who can play LCB/LB and maybe cover for Solanke .

I’d love to grab him. Out and out pace aside he is perhaps better than VDV at many aspects and one of the best young defenders in world football but I just don’t see it. Love to be wrong though.

It’s not a narrative. It was a response to a specific claim that were showing no urgency.

For two years in a row we’ve made early signings in January and more than anyone else and yet we’re being told the club is not showing any urgency?

You see how disconnected from reality that is?

No I don’t , thinking Forster was an acceptable number 2 is disconnected from reality . So saying Minsky validates acting swiftly is laughable , Forster has needed replacing ever since Ange arrived , but starting this season with him was gross negligence

Fixing an issue in our squad early in the window is a good thing or not?

Make your mind up 😂
