No mention of a DP... I think we're done for another year. Probably at least until season ticket renewal time... :noidea:

Ahhh well, with a new solid South American striker, a new CB, Dero, and some decent draft picks we're a hell of a lot better than last year!

Roll on opening day!!! I really can't wait :D:drinking::D:drinking:

I think if this target was a DP they'd be advertising that fact.
Look at us...we care....we're getting a DP.

I wonder if this will be an older guy @300-400K a year.

who is "they"?
ever since he blabbed all the time during season 1, Mo has been pretty tight-lipped about any targets. he doesn't advertise anything, certainly not before the contract is signed.
occasionally a journalist pushed him and he gives generalities.

i see nothing in his statements that indicates he is signing or not signing a DP.

Speculations is all we're left with at this point. But I must admit it doesn't sound like it would be a DP striker.

He seemed pretty specific in October/November. Grass and DP are coming... Walk right up renew your season tickets right here...

Don't get me wrong I love this club. I would have renewed my tickets if we lost every game. I do dislike the "promotional season" where everything is possible. If this franchise wants to be credible and genuine please cut the crap. Don't raise my hopes - You have my money anyways...

Because it was never mentioned by Mo. I'm always open to be pleasantly surprised...

I think we'll end up with a good (150k a year type guys) forward and CB which would leave enough cap space to add a DP in the summer - when better players will be available and the salary would be pro-rated and not be a full 400k cap space hit.
