Wonder if its us that he wants to join but wants to string along the fact we've got Middle East owners now
After all the Peterborough owner said that Maddison was "buzzing" after meeting Bowyer (the effect that Gallen has mentioned so many times I bet)
If,as rumour has it,he's also failed to agree terms with birmingham then i would say he's stringing people along until he gets the desired move to a north east team? If he was that 'buzzing' to join Charlton i think he would've met somewhere in the middle re terms by now. Im sure Bow and Gallen are looking at other targets now.
Three types of player 1, Up and coming young player who shows promise . 2, Someone who could cost the earth and break our pay scale. 3,Someone who wants to play for the club and the management team.
I would take 1 and 3 all the time.
Gallen has contacts far and wide not just in europe if he and Bowyer work hand in hand all could fall into place for the rest of the season and for the next few years as well.
Why is it when other clubs are linked with a player within a day theres a picture of them wearing their new teams shirt yet us it's always a week of rumours then nothing?
It’s like the takeover! We announced it way too early and should have waited for the approval from the EFL. maddison fee agreed, who cares, we only want the news when the players signed. Just gets everyone at it on the keyboards. we all panic and then it happens. Feb 1st is when we know how we are set, but now we are all shitting ourselves cos we’ve got cash unlike the Roland era! At least we are competitive in the market now.
The trouble is we don't know if we are competitive in the market now. Currently we have only heard words but seen nothing to back it up yet.
The only thing that is stopping me being too worried at the moment is that HE is invested but all we have seen so far is PR puff.
Invested what ? The Belgian said he would give the club away for nothing. So far it looks like ESI haven't spent anything ?
Starting to go off this signing reading about his attitude.
Yeah how dare he not rush into a decision.
Might have an attitude but it’s not an issue for Bowyer and Gallen, neither has it stopped him from playing regularly, scoring and creating goals throughout his career.

Is invested financially (responsible for running costs) and personally (reputation, status etc). Besides they will be purchasing the rest and are contractually obliged to do so. I am pretty sure the EFL wouldn't have signed off without knowledge they have both the intention and means to complete the full purchase
Posh fans all slag Maddison off for only turning up for 1 in 5 games - but his assists and goals record is better than ANYONE in the league over the past 5 seasons. He’s clearly extremely talented. he may well prefer to go back up north but he has a young family and they may not want to...
He’s got an offer from us, he’s allegedly looked at Birmingham and they can’t agree. I suspect this isn’t yet over. And Christ knows we need some creativity, goals and pace all of which he has!
really couldn’t give a toss if he’s a bit of a nobhead on social media - he’s paid to play football and he’s fucking good at it

Its quite amusing... People hate Footballers who come out after games and say the same old scripted crap
Funnily they also cant stand the other type of Footballers who have a personality!!
IMO we need a left back, a centre back, a centre mid and a striker before the window closes, and that’s with no more outgoings. We are seriously struggling and we can’t rely on injured players coming back anymore
“Panic” signings needed now, we aren’t getting out our own half away from home. Pay over the odds whatever it takes, the long term will be shit if the short term is shit (relegation to league 1). This is how it is, not ideal but somethings gotta happen.

Troy Deeney made me laugh today, interviewed after the game and was asked about his missed penalty and his response was "I'm not gonna apologise for missing it, I have scored enough winning goals before and will take the next one"
So frustrating, I like what Southall says re not being ripped off and sustainability but if he doesn’t act soon then we’re in trouble. He says they bought the club in time for the transfer window & 18 days in nothing! His a former agent and knows how it works so would’ve thought deals would be already agreed & lined up! All talk and hot air so far, needs to act now!
at the end of the day we need a lot of signings. i understand matt southall wants it to be ‘sustainable’ but we need to pay over the odds for certain players now. staying in the championship will be better, money wise, than being in league 1, even if we have to pay extra for certain players
1) Don't come in promising things you can't deliver. You didn't buy the whole club so you could give us the window we needed. On day 18 of the window it has been pathetic so far. The actions don't match up with the words.
2) If there are a couple of little things in the way of getting Bowyer signed, get them out of the way. Or some of us may be thinking Bowyer is trying not to rock the boat and is being diplomatic.
3) We could have been 8 points clear if you signed a couple of ok players who could still improve the squad even if they were not first choice. If you have more money than Duchatelet, the situation demanded you did domething, do something now. We need a striker and a midfielder in before Fulham.
Unpopular opinion, the defence ain’t that bad, we had nowhere near the level of complaints about the same defence before the injury crisis, nor last season.
We need midfielders and strikers, defenders will tell you their job is a lot easier when the midfield and forwards retain the ball, something which we are simply not doing.
Today; Williams, not fit. Pratley, 34 year old battler, passed his best (sorry). Dempsey, inexperience kid not ready. Morgan, bit of experience, but not ready. Green, played only a handful of games this season. Davidson, inexperienced kid not ready. Hemed, not fit.
That’s what the defence has in front of them, the injuries are dragging it’s heals so much it’s taking us into the bottom three, that’s clear. Solution, oven ready signings now.
Long term stability sounds great, but league one next season makes the Wembley day out pointless, and even if we throw money about in the summer, no guarantee we will get back up (see Sunderland).

Totally agree - people will be amazed how much better the defence looks when our midfield improves.
If we dont get the players in we need by end of the window. It will be on ESI head if we get relagated. Southall if you want us to stay up you have to pay that little bit extra that clubs and players want. Scrap your model for this window. Implement it in the summer once were safe. We are desperate and there's no room for being tight over a players wanting 1k more a week. Get you're cheque book out or we get relegated. Period. If we get relegated because of lack of investment in this window ESI are just dumb business men.

Agree actions haven’t met words but we have enough ok players as it is. If getting good players in means waiting until the last few days of the window that’ll give us a much better chance of staying up than had we spent the money on more average players just to go for it a bit more against Preston and Fulham.
Also agree on midfield and attack being where we need to strengthen the most. We don’t have the quality there at the moment and it makes it too easy for the opposition to dominate the game and gives them too little to worry about when defending.

And what if we break FFP rules because we stay up for breaking what we're allowed to pay and so end up with a fine / points deduction!!

Agreed br7. Defence been ok since oshi gone centre, but they have no help even worse now galla has gone. We need some solid midfied battlers to help. Cullen and inexperienced field will obvs help when they are ready.

GOAL Swansea.
Scorer: Brewster (signed on loan January)
Assist: Gallagher (signed on loan January)
