Lyle Taylor had never played higher then the middle of League 1 when he signed for us, if Doherty is deemed good enough by Gallen and Bowyer, then I'll take their judgement over someone who's looking at a wikipedia profile of a player
Taylor signed for us also in league one and grew with us.
I'm not saying Docherty can't be a decent player in time, but we don't have time. We need a player who can walk into our side now and he hasn't played a first team game for 5 months.
I hope i'm proved wrong (if he signs of course).
How do you know Docherty can't/won't do that? Based on what exactly
I don't know, it's just my opinion. Same as you don't know he'll be any good.
My opinion is that a guy who can't get in the Rangers side and hasn't played competitive football for 5 months isn't the answer right now. He's never played at this level and it might take him weeks to get up to speed. Like i said, i hope i'm wrong and quite naturally i trust Gallen and if he feels he's the answer then i'm happy to see how it goes.
Realistically we're not going to get anything over the line until toward the end of the window. It's frustrating but better than being mugged off on price.
I hope for Bow’s sake that he gets at least one better than we have fully fit midfielder in before midday’s deadline, but gut says he won’t and we will be left hoping that we can keep it super tight against Fulham until the 60th minute - cue Jonny, Josh and Lyle...
There's no real rush to get anyone in today, given that we don't have a game for the rest of the month after Fulham.
Even if we did sign someone in time for Fulham, they won't have been part of any training with us. The club probably feel it's better to bide their time.
That’s that for today then, we should have been getting them in for cameos/1st starts Vs Preston/Fulham then all systems go for judgement month of February, instead we are dragging our heals again, not good at all this.
There's a chance Bowyer himself is holding up deals. He said players want to know he's signed a new contract. But he's still holding out on signing it.
Bowyer said it was his contract situation holding up signings ----- still not done Bowyer said he wanted PLAYERS in before the Fulham game ----- nothing
Hey apparently we will be fine AFTER the Fulham game and anybody concerned about the above or ESI's lack of dosh (possibly) or 5points out of 48 is a bed weter?
If like to say than fec k Rolands gone but he hasn't he still owns The Valley ,he still owns Sparrows Lane. At the moment I see no change at all

What you have observed is what is known as the uncomfortable truth.

Why have they got a lack of dosh? We know they are making offers for players but teams are moving the goal post at the last minute (Blackpool being one example).
We’ve offered cash for Maddison and a wage which their chairman and manager have stated as good, but the player obviously doesn’t want to come here. How is that esi’s fault or how does that suggest a lack of funds?
Ive never bought a footballer, assuming 99.9% of people on here haven’t either. I’m guessing it takes time, say it’s 1 working week. If we spent a week on Maddison and he turned us down and the process starts again, that’s 2 weeks gone of a 4 week window.
I know it’s frustrating that nobody has signed yet but people turning on esi after 3 weeks and stating they have no money without proof is just ridiculous.

I think they spent all of their money on the PR budget.

The proof is this: We turned down a player for an extra 1k a week. We haven't signed anyone but a loan player. The chairman, owner and our manager have said numerous times that the squad will be built slowly by promoting youth and buying from lower leagues (if you have money, is that your strategy?) Contract negotiations are dragging on and on and on.
What proof is there we have money? Only that we bid for Maddison? He's got 6 months left on his contract and he's definitely not staying there. I doubt it took a lot.
They either have no money or Southall is not very good at his job (being generous, he has a lot to learn). Had he come in and said different things it might make more sense. Had the whole club been purchased, I might be less worried. The problem we have is that there are question marks all over the place and not one answer has been provided in three weeks. Just statements that are not fulfilled and turn out not to be true.
I love the club and want to be positive. I want to be as positive as I was when I heard of the takeover, but what we have seen so far has been far from positive. We ought to be honest about it and not delude ourselves.

Bowyer didn't see it like that after Preston and said so.

Blackpool didn't move the goalposts at the "last minute"
They asked for one price in the summer and then a higher price five months and 15 goals later in January.

2 loan signings and a permanent incoming.
Unlikely to see anything today then .
