Exactly, just opening yourself up to be mocked when you're inevitably wrong.

Veterans like AP really should know better

Just think if you're going to try and pull someone up, you should probably get what you're pulling them up on right.

Says the man who tells me that Jason Roberts signed for us on 26th January when he was 33 years old when his 34th birthday was on the 25th January :lol:

No apart from 25 goals in six years not likely to set the world alight let alone RFC. Bargain basement acquisition. Hardly big investments from the Ruskies. Real facts.

Only 13 starts then. I'd be hoping to sign a striker who can manage 80mins most weeks and who might get better with time rather than worse.

So, we are signing a 34 year old striker whose career is on the Back Peddle. 9 times out of 10 they prove to be shit signings. Massive backward step.

Christ.

A lot of people thought that. I had my doubts. We were wrong.

But seriously, spending time digging that lot out and quoting it?

LOLame

It's not about DOUBTS, doubts are fine

It's the holier-than-thou certainty that so many here write off players

Roberts
Cummings
Harte
Kebe
L-Wood
McAnuff
Federici
Pearce
Tabb
Noel Hunt
Karacan
Long

all "weren't good enough"


Basically, they no squat and the best of them knows a tenth
of what the manager knows.
