I've stopped vascillating! (Four goals and I am anyone's). Getting the youngsters out on loan (3 now I think to Chester) so that they can earn their spurs (sorry Freudian slip), GFH being sensible (fingers crossed) about money, whilst trying to sort out the East Stand/Yorkshire radio debacle. The arrival of Mr. Blackstock (whose name is for ever printed on my memory after that memorable for all the wrong reasons game against Forest) and also Mr. Zulaikas (whose name is not printed on my memory yet but it's only a matter of time fingers crossed). Happy Days :o) Brian McDermott you rock!

I don't know what vascillating is but I am glad it stopped! I just can't make up my mind about the Blackstock move I think it's ok but just not sure!

It's dithering! And I have to confess I was up until last weekend for a bit (after 40 + years of supporting my beloved football team and, just recently, spending a lot of my time vascillating). Look like great loan signings to me Mr. McDermott :o)

'Former leeds boss in running for palace job'
That'll be warnock then! I know it's a leeds rumours site but think about it for a second.
Tonge, brown, hall, varney could all possibly go!
Personally think Blackstock deal is just a loan to see if Hughton let's Becchio go in jan or if he gets the sack.
I only say this as BM has shown interest.

Its only a 3 month signing, because I think that all he can sign for. And I bet you top dollar that its a p loan-to-buy offer.

Frankly speaking, just want him to come good, win us some games and keep us with the pack.

Blackstock deal will have option to be made permanent in January, perfect deal for us as if he is terrible we can send him back and if he sets the world alight we can sign him!

Q. If balystock loan period is with view to buy is mcd able to have a pre determined purchase price as part of the loan deal, just in case he bags a hatfull?

I think if Brian intends to buy in Jan and they want to sell, they usually agree a future transfer fee

I've been thinking the exact same thing myself Ausman. We are in effect putting him in the shop window and it would be bitter sweet if he played well but added a million to his price, which we couldn't afford! I would hope that Big Mac has agreed a price in advance.

Mad Mick

'Bag a hatful' that would be changing the habit of a lifetime for the guy, but it's happened before and he may prove a good addition. I do hope so

5 goals in 5 games against us! I'll take that FOR us! Even half of that!

I don't get why some are slating blackstock if it was in paper saying he's signed for another team u would all be moaning about another missed target. Give the lad a chance kick a ball same goes for any new players let them prove they deserve to wear the shirt or at least get the chance to prove it.

Well said .lets support our players and even those who join us for a short period of time, who knows DB may be a great hit on and off the pitch.

Big Grah

Well said mate. Some people just can't be pleased.

Players coming in need our support to give them confidence just look at hunt, he has a great work rate and is a great lad to have around because he been there and done it but fans get on his back and he under performs. Take away the negative pressure and he gets a hattrick all be it in a reserve game but a hat tricks a hattrick and it will boost his confidence. Bad player won't score 3 goals no matter the opponent.
Let's get behind the whole squad and move on together or should I say march on together
