I had a torn meniscus....ended up with a partial knee replacement!
Trust me as someone once told me...'once a knee always a knee' meaning always problems which doesn't bode well. Defo another championship standard striker required then along with a ball playing CB and supporting CM as priorities.

Other bits from the qand a-problem with the first team is a lack of leadres/leadership.Joe Lolley has impressed the senior professionals with his ability in training.The excellent medical staff at canalside are managing Matt Crooks illness-Matt has impressed both Mark Robins and Steve Eyre.Harry Bunn has made a very favourable impression during his relatively short time at the club. The club tried to sign a ball playing centre half in the January window but a team higher up the championship signed him instead.If Chris Wood became available at Leicester Town would probably be in for a player of his quality unfortunately so would half the division and the chance of him coming to us would be remote.All this does not bode well for the summer does it? funny, because I read that and thought "good news" it shows the kind of player we are after. You criticise us for signing players that arent up to scratch, then you criticise us for being ambitious in going for top players that might not all be get-able. You're a joke.

In summary...some players of ours look pretty good but we cant be bothered using them in an actual game in case they're not, and some other clubs have some players that we"ll never sign. ? We wont play them in an actual game when they have shin splints!!

I remember the other week when some buffoon tried telling me that Ross is directly responsible for all of our transfers. Bollocks. The guy is a glorified scout. Robins has more than his final say on recruits.

Seriously mate you need to read and read what is written properly, how is that good news? Wilson says if players 'like Chris Wood came available we would be interested but so would half the division and the chances of him come here are remote', how is that good news? He also said we tried to sign a ball playing centre in January who joined a club in our division but higher up the league, again, another quality player turning us down, jesus, you say I'm a joke, at least I can read and understand our mother tongue properly.

You've missed the point entirely, Ritchie sees is at good news because it shows that the ambition is there from the club, that we are trying to sign the right players, whilst not being daft and stepping too far outside our financial boundaries.

I'd love Chris Wood to come, seriously I would, its a Catch 22 situation though isn't it I guess? The club said they are after '3 quality players' in the summer but then they admit that the chances of players like this are remote, mixed messages.

I thought it was a good Q and A.Ross Wilson was honest and came across well.The strikers that are out on loan are not part of the current plans of the manager.Lopez was a punt who is not up to championship standard -Stead just hasn't worked out and Paterson is someone who according to Sean Dyche needs to feel that he is the main man-not in someone elses shadow whether that is Danny Ings or James Vaughan.The striker that they will look to bring in is someone who will complement Nakhi Wells.Vaughan is out with a slight tear of the meniscus-which isn't something major to worry about. The signings this summer will be players that go straight into the first team not development/signings with potential. Did he explain why the club didn't know that about Paterson before they signed him and if they did why did they think he would change? Or did they ask dyche after they'd already blown a fortune on him??? Sent from my GT-I9505 using proboards

Seems to me we're unlikely to be competitive going up against bigger championship clubs so we ought to be looking for gems from the lower leagues where we'd have a good chance of taking top talent. Imo most of the so called established championship players we've signed have turned out to be average at best with little or no resale value. Harry McGuire would be a good start.

The club said they are after '3 quality players' in the summer but then they admit that the chances of players like this are remote, mixed messages. Not really - there's a difference between signing quality players and proven players, both in terms of cost and competition. Anthony Pilkington was signed as the former and Woods would be signed as the latter. We could pick up some unknown from Boreham Wood who goes on to be a first team regular next season. I'd relax on the transfer front - we generally punch above our weight, think deano must do a great job selling the club to players.

We are the sort of club at the moment who need to find and sign Jordan Rhodes and Anthony Pilkington types. Players that we take out of the darkness and give them a chance. The problem with that for every Jordan Rhodes, there will be two or three John Steads.

The club said they are after '3 quality players' in the summer but then they admit that the chances of players like this are remote, mixed messages. This season we signed James Vaughan, Nahki Wells, and Joe Lolley. Except with maybe Vaughan who only had 1 or 2 other clubs interested, we had to fight off several "more attractive" clubs to sign those players. We also signed Jonathon Hogg, who despite what Town fans may think, is a good player and we shocked a few by signing him especially after he got the assist for that great goal against Leicester in last season's play offs. It's good news because Ross Wilson's comments show ambition from the club, but he's also being honest and realistic saying its not as easy as some people might think. Chris Wood is not the only quality player out there, there will be players out there that are just as good but may be cheaper and not as in demand.

I don't think it's remote, we just have to approach it in the right way. Wells Vaughan (barring injury) Gerrard Lynch Dixon Clayton Hammill (to an extent) For me, those lads are quality players for where we currently are and where we will hopefully be next season, if we can replace the lesser players with ones of the same or (hopefully) better quality, (and more importantly, strong consistency) as the aforementioned players, then we'll have done quite well

The problem with that for every Jordan Rhodes, there will be two or three John Steads. Easier said than done mate, I don't think we can afford to take a punt on 4 or 5 Lionel Ainsworth's, in the hope that we might get another Rhodes or Pilks Staying and Progressing in this division is absolutely vital to our long term future, right now we need players who we can be absolutely sure (or as sure as we can be), will step straight into the starting XI, and immediately improve it. We have plenty of good young prospects in the system at the minute, we can't risk over-saturating our youth system by bringing in too many.

I mentioned that we were after Chris Wood a while back. We have been working on Leicester as it's thought they will be listening to offers in the summer.
If still like to know what Fartown meant when he said he forgot to mention something else that doesn't bode well for the summer

I have a mate who is always telling me he's off to get a Porsche.
It's been three years now and he's still driving a shit old Honda.
I find it funny, maybe one day he'll get one, look cool & get himself a good looking chick because of it after 15 years of mediocrity.
Or he might keep talking and end up with the ugly munter he deserves as hes only average at best himself.

One thing not reported from what was said at the canalside is the fact that Nigel Clibbens who was present at the back of the room agreed that the recent run of form has had a dramatic effect on season ticket sales. Under FFP and our budgeting if this continues it will also have a big part to play in who and how many we can bring in. Lets hope that we get a good result on Monday and are safe as maybe those who have held back to see which division we are in next year, will buy in like many of us have already committed.

Worried this would be the case. Posted a week back that saving a bit on decent loan has probably cost a lot more in lost season tickets I'm sure if MR was asked "would you like a loan in" he'd have said yes. So this error won't be MR fault but others need to shoulder some responsiblity

This may come as a bit of a shock to you Arty, but there are quite a few clubs in this division that have more of a financial clout than Town. We are not going to get every player that we would like.
