you have changed your tune from the pre season!



anyway dont think gaskell will be coming for what its worth, roby out for upto 10 weeks so back in nathan browns plans

I am a lot more positive than i was pre season but i have always said that we needed strengthening in the halves.
Gaskell i feel would give us that cover and enable different options to be played in certain games.

There will be games where Lunt at Hooker and Robbo at interchange with Brough and Gaskell in the halves would be a real match winning combination.

Still smacks too much to me of bringing another Moore into the team when it isn't needed

Can't see this happening as we're more likely to be selling our stars than signing any due to our crowds being poor this season.

Ponner If that was the case then it was rather stupid to let our "biggest star" go for a big fat nothing!!

Where has Brough gone?

now theres a thought!

poor season tickets sales too which was prob another reason we had to let eden go

and we may not see the spare salary cap money get spent. cant blame ken davy if so.

But this could be our best chance of achieving something this year.

IF KEN reads this speculate to accumulate on Gaskell and you might win a trophy this year which will bring the fans back .

IF it does not work he can always sell Brough next season.

Doesn't take much to get on the negative vibe does it?

Maybe NB will loan us Gaskell for the rest of the season- it's the kind of deal he's stupid enough to agree to.

The Gaskell jury is definately out on the Saints board about 50/50 whether they rate him or not, l think its best for Ken to hang on to the spare cash, and see if anything else developes, we surely carn,t be so desperate, as to splash cash on a relatively youngster , we have two in the squad, anyway it will be up to Baloo.

Gaskell not in squad this weekend - even given the injury to roby- looks like Gaskell is the new Lunt!!!
His agents phone should be red hot!

Think Foster is a better comparison as he too is out of contract at the end of the season as Foster was when he fell out of favour there last season.

Im happy with our Applecart. Dont upset either of us.

what about danny tickle?

then again no we may fall asleep with his goal kicks taking so long

I seem to remember some (including me) saying this when we were trying to sign Brough - wouldnt be without him now!

If it lead to believe if agents phone been red hot for weeks but saints won't allow to leave even on loan

If Brough is not 100% then does that make some of our naysayers change their mind about us needing Gaskell

But Gaskell isnt available. Why not have a thread about every player that isnt available.

As has been said, the Hull match showed we have very few season tickets sold - who is going to pay the wages?

LOD!

give that young lad we just gave a contract too a chance, wouldnt get a complaint from me if we did.

Fanbase is e, season ticket sales poor, the LOD money has gone already to pay wages expenses etc so won't be used to buy anyone else.

Need to start producing our own youngsters and develop them all the way thru to the Giants 1st team, only way we will compete unless we won something and all the glory hunters came flooding back.

So spend the LOD wage on more marketing to get more fans through the turnstyles and then next season we'll have no problems signing SBW.

as far as i am aware the club has no money available for new signings? loans or otherwise.unless we offload some of high earners then i cant see it changing anytime soon.

The club ought to concentrate on getting that section of the the hardcore fan base back that it has alienated over the last couple of seasons before fretting about getting some glory hunters on board. What you say is right though FP re: youth development & winning a pot.
