I know it's a stupid question given he answered the same question last week but journalists need to do their job. Too much of it and there will be journalists who will be itching to put thr boot in should we hit a slump... The journos love him for the big tease that he is.

Not only did his comments reassure us fans, they also sent a clear message to the Club Board. Promises made should be promises kept and the time to consider a sale is at season end. I’ve a feeling that there’s some sort of agreement or understanding between the club, the manager and the players to see out the season. I feel that there’s players are totally onboard with JBA and are willing to wait and see how we finish the season and some may also agree to stay on if he’s stays and that the club will back their decisions. For the club it’s a win win situation as everyone’s stock will only increase (injuries avoided) and Europe could be a money spinning miracle should the core of the team remain and additions are made.

From what we've heard from the Chairman, CEO, and JBA himself, they all have a good working relationship and are in constant contact, so I dont think he needs to send messages to his own board through the media. I took what he said as making it public that the club is aligned, which means it would take a ridiculous bid for a player to change anything. We will have our price, like anyone else, but there's definitely a premium in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted Friday at 08:59 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:59 AM I'm very heartened from JBA's presser. It seems like a steady as you go approach is no longer acceptable. Its no longer our plan to just keep a successful squad together for as long as we can; rather we want strengthen it if possible by bringing in another 1/2/3 players. No massive overhaul required just gradual improvement. Our rivals will be trying to strengthen this window so we must keep that bit ahead of them. We'll see what the next 10 days or so bring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yabba's Turd Posted Friday at 12:23 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 12:23 PM O'Neill was supposed to let Jens know on Monday about Welsh. He's not the diplomat he's portrayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelllfan Posted Friday at 01:09 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 01:09 PM I'd be wanting 2 more in we need a CB at the minimum and I think we need a LB as well so hopefully both happen and we finish the season as strong as we started it.

texanwellfan Posted Friday at 02:11 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 02:11 PM We should be signing a CB anyway regardless of Welsh situation/timing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking is if we're shopping in the Scandinavian market, their close season might make a permanent move easier... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Well, it’s all quiet on here with 1 week left to go. I’m hoping it gets a bit more Lively with incoming news as opposed to outgoing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago No real panic. If we didn't bring any more in, our squad is in decent shape. One or two more would be ideal, but we're not scrambling like we have in other recent windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago We’re an attractive proposition, so I’m not worried about us panicking and signing dregs at the eleventh hour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Yep I am feeling OK also. I trust JBA to bring in whoever we require plus only way someone is leaving is if we get a crazy offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyhonest Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Welsh is on transfermarket as 800k. That seems a bit rich for us. Maybe we need to speculate to accumulate but it’s been noticeable that our centre backs recently haven’t been centre backs. Maybe it shows we are controlling games and want players to step out from the back and play into midfield but against the ugliest and tarts we might need to reconsider. I think Thor coming in allows a plan B to teams low block so happy so far. Would like a left back though and a centre back. Can’t see us buying anyone though and think loan options will be utilised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted 24 minutes ago Report Share Posted 24 minutes ago I thought I read, last week, that Celtic were looking at 400k for Welsh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
