Not knowledgeable of his current ability, but Bostock (in my head) sounds like a 'we've exhausted all other avenues' call.
This is exactly it - and I was kinda hoping (and that's all it was - hope) that a takeover would mean we have the financial clout to force the issue a bit more.
As I said - McGeady and Bostock feel worse than the signings we were making under Roland last two windows. People say it wasnt Roland it was Gallen..... Gallen is still here and still the capable guy we know he is.
I was (still am) really hoping we would take a no risk approach to relegation and just completely take it out the equation by going hard at the window....
Still time - but McGeady and Bostock...... we need to do so much more.
How many more players do you feel we need? In addition to McGeady only as not seen Bostock announced?
Roland would have been castigated for this window.
I think we are looking at the right positions (couple midfielders and a striker is what I want).
numbers are fine - it’s the quality that isn’t.
JCH would be someone who would be good but only if Taylor stays
The sad truth is we were never going to replace Gallagher in this window, if Bostock signs then he will be a 2nd or 3rd choice, after Maddison and another potential player that didn't get accepted. The boy wonder from a decade ago would get 100% support from me despite being a last day rescue act.

McGeady is the alternative to Maddison as a winger/attacking midfielder, Bostock’s a CM, more of a Gallagher replacement.
He is by blood. His harmless and his tweets make me laugh
No, I'm sorry, he really isn't
he is - he was in my primary school class and had left and right on the soles of his trainers and glasses with a patch and all that sort of thing - seriously, he's as harmless as they come - the addition of waldergrave to his name is marvellous - a complete loon but certainly harmless
I've said this before - Bostock made a name for himself at the same time as Jonjo and Jack Wilshere broke through. All 3 were great players but all more interested in outdoing each other than playing as a team.
Hasn't really gone brilliantly for any of them
Saying that - our recent record of improving players could be invaluable because if we can improve Bostock he's a very very talented player.
McGeady signing effectively ended my hopes of seeing Maddison sadly. He's a left sided midfielder/ winger/forward so there wouldn't be enough room for both. I expect McGeady and Williams to do 60 minutes and 30 minutes respectively in a fair few games.

Dont believe a word Acworth says lol
The only good deals will be for players who are out of contract in the summer and their clubs are cashing in last minute.
However if Pratley, Cullen, Field and Williams are all fit then that's a solid midfield anyway.

He helped bring the current owners in
If he has been seen leaving the ground, he's probably:
A - Negotiating a Contract.
B - Training in the Gym. Finishing AM training
C - Saying goodbye and collecting his stuff from the training ground.
Guy is obviously not all there, lets just stop posting his tweets.

So saying £3M wouldn't get 1 boot is not accurate if you only want £4M for the player lol.
Personally hope Sky have it wrong cos I think Brentford will match that, but wont if its £5M
