Fail to Prepare?

GhostOfDixie · January 25, 2009

Then you have to prepare to fail.

Simple as that.

January 1st transfer window opens. We have no fit strikers, and our record signing is on the verge of being banned for 2 games. This is the fixture list in January and the day after the window closes.

Macc (A) FA Cup
Hull (H)
Liverpool (A)
Liverpool (A) FA Cup
Man U (A)
Arsenal (H)

Do you think that maybe, just maybe it might be worthwhile pulling your ******* finger out of your arses Everton and bring in some fecking players to help with the problem?

No, well then expect to fail. At least give us supporters a fighting chance.

You may say I am moaning over nothing, and that we are on a great run. That may be so, but were tinkering on the edge of losing it. It only takes one or two players to fall down and we end up undoing some good work.

I honestly believe the people running this club have looked at the way Cahill is playing and thought, hmm, we don't need a striker.

That bench today is nothing short of a joke. Who can we bring off the bench to try and give us some inspiration? VDM? Lukas? A crock and a kid.

Its just simply not good enough. Even if we win today (which I doubt, and to be honest we shouldn't win it), then it is just papering over the cracks that the club is constantly running on empty and its not fair on the fans who are having to endure it.

Artera being missing today is a tragedy, he is the provider of opportunities for goals. We have no strikers, and we have very little in the way of creativity. Osman and Pienaar are their I know, but we all know that Ossie is hit and miss and Peanuts goes missing at the end of a game.

I'm just so damn frustrated. 25 days in and Moyes is not really expecting any resources to come in. Well that on top of the summer is just disgusting, and its time for this board to **** off out of it. Because they clearly can't run this football club.

Anyone who thinks differently?

Do you think there is nobody out there? Or do you think BK is just refusing to sell because he's a ******* ****?

Surprised you never mentioned the quesionable decision of Fellaini not being brought off against Hull. (y)

Lets say a young, new foreign signing was on a booking and the next game was one of massive importance. He was being clearly targeted, players waving imaginary yellow cards...

9/10... A manager would take off that player.

Baffled me that one.

Ah well, whats done is done. COYB!

We need a heroic performance here.

Yeah, all caught up in the Arteta fury. Yeah, why the hell was he even on the pitch. Its just shocking, but this quote from Moyes worries me:

“If we don’t get anybody in we will get by,” he said. “But it would be better placed if we could get somebody in.”

You ******* what? GET SOMEONE IN!!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST, MAKE SOME GOD DAMN SIGNINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I honestly dont think there is anybody out there at the moment that wants to buy the club. If there was, all they need to do is tell the press and they know that we as fans would make it happen.

Well I've heard differently mate. Surprise surprise, the Kirkby thing is the resolution they are waiting for before ******** and tithead **** off out of here.

How would we make it happen by the way?

I don't think he is that loyal. He made noises during the summer that we needed to make signings, he stressed that clearly. Personally I felt it was a message to the chairman.

If we dont bring in at least 2 players before the deadline, we are asking for trouble. Another injury or 2, and we will be down to using players like VDM from the start

I couldn't care less we have some good looking youngsters let them play some. Gosling & Rodwell can come in any time and I wouldn't worry about them.

But if what i'm hearing is correct we have about four loan chances that we are working on so at least were trying and not forking out unreal money to merchanaries.

Sorry Ghost read it somewhere last week. But the wheels are turning and it's probably someone we haven't been linked to. Usually this is how we work so as not to tip our hand and other teams bid up or chase who we need.

Its always too late though, it was in the summer and it is now. 25 days to get a player signed, especially as they are all dropping like flies.
