To be fair, if you look at the bloke who he mentions in the tweet, he only says the deal is off because of what CP said today. So think that tweet should be ignored (as should most of the Moose's)
If Maynard leaves West Ham and they are going to sign one more player, it will surely be a striker? They can't let Baldock and Maynard both leave without replacing either.
i wouldnt want any of them to go but i'd rather lose stephens than solly purely because we have other players from other positions who can go in to the cm role (kerkar, jackson, wilson etc.) although we could do with another person in just to give a bit more depth in the squad
People still don't seem to have gathered that Chris Powell is basically a spin-doctor in front of the press, even in his post-match-interviews you can take *everything* with a pinch of salt, it's all measured, and spun, like a politician. It has to be - that's just football nowadays, and has been like that at CAFC for some years.
Don't get me wrong, I love the bloke as much as we all do, I just think people should have learned by now not to hang on every word he makes public.
Quite. He chooses his messages very carefully, which is why the 'I'm happy with the squad and I don't want it depleted' comment resonates with me. Would suggest any outs would not be his doing, against his will even. If the board are planning to sell someone, they won't appreciate that for sure.
The moose is a big silly buffoon and I can see West Ham feeding him any old shite to keep him thinking he's ITK. He's their village idiot. No-one more ridiculed on TalkSport, and they have Adrian Durham.
having the window the night before a game is just so stupid. Imagine the coach journey tomorrow. Powell announces on the tanoy - Solly, time to get off, West Ham have upped their offer and you need to go discuss terms.

personal terms already agreed ) (or so they'd have you believe !!!)
Powell elaborates more on the transfer front and says he has laid some of the groundwork should any of our players leave.
Usual sensible statement from him. Looks like we have to hold our breath for another 24 hours. Think it's Solly myself, based on the Stephens thing having no echoes in the Brum media, and our link to this Gillingham bloke.

... then be very afraid
Aren't they very close to signing some Ajax forward?
Just to prove they are clean round the bend?
Sky Sports understands Huddersfield are leading the chase for Wolves winger Adam Hammill.
Wolves are willing to offload Hammill before Friday's transfer deadline after placing him on the transfer list.
Hammill joined Wolves from Barnsley in January 2011 for a fee of £500,000 but has been unable to hold down a regular place in the side.
New Wolves boss Stale Solbakken is keen to bring in his own players and is listening to offers for the former Liverpool youngster.
Huddersfield boss Simon Grayson is keen to bring in a new wide-man and Hammill is thought to be his top target.
Nottingham Forest, Brighton and Burnley are also chasing the 24-year-old, but Huddersfield are thought to be in pole position for the skilful winger.
He's the fat one on the left in a pair of Acworths Jeans.
(or so they'd have you believe !!!)
I've heard he's keen on sueing.
Oops I meant he's sueing Kean :-)
Stephens will go to Villa for £1.5m.
Quinn will sign for undisclosed.
TJ will bank £1m to keep us afloat until Jan by which time Fuller will have scored 24 goals so we sell him to West Ham for £3m.
We then sign Baldock who says he's unhappy in Bristol for £1.5m.
Baldock then scores 24 goals to see us through to automatic promotion.
;-)
