"French" and "Not wanting to do administratiom" definitely 2 things I've heard in the same sentence, which is quite ironic considering the amount of administration beaurocracy and red tape that exists here.
I doubt we've made our transfers and are just choosing the time to declare them in public. The selling club would have no reason to keep it quiet.
Clubs usually have a mutual agreement though dont they
I remember Olly being pissed off once when STVV announced they'd signed Ceballos a few days before the intended time that had been agreed so both teams could announce it together
Ok. This is how I see it. January Windows are always notoriously tough. But with most of our players returning from injury and if Taylor stays we will be fine. The time to judge our new owners will be in the summer. I'm 100% sure they will be better than Roland
Bostock transfer has fallen through due to Toulouse not wanting to deal with the admin.
Why did we leave it so late?
Toulouse could have been approached some time ago and cancelled the loan. Chelsea did the same with Gallagher.
We didn't leave it late......Bostock was probaby number 12 or 13 on our list, and seeing as numbers 1-11 haven't come off we're now scrambling around trying to get just any old body in.
Bostock's agent Rob Segal claimed the French side did not want the admin hassle and decided to leave the player at Forest where he is out of favour. Segal told SunSport: “The move collapsed, purely because of Toulouse being too lazy.
“They couldn't be bothered to do the paperwork and were quite happy to leave him at Forest and pick up their money.”
Funnily enough, t's Friday today in France also ...... and 1 hour ahead of us.
Poets day every Friday and the office staff all go home at 4 o'clock, their time. Le weekend commence!
People saying they have a hunch that MS must have something big lined up or he wouldn't be so confident.
I hope that's true but Bowyer has said we are relying on favours Bowyer has said we haven't bid £1m for anyone We today tried to sign Bostock, a player we weren't interested in earlier in the window. We refused a player because they wanted an extra £1k a week. We wouldn't pay Blackpool more for Gnanduillet than offered in the summer.

All the evidence points to no big signings.
Maybe HE has come over, liked what he’s seen and thought sod it I’m gonna get my wallet out.

Yeah that’ll be what happened. Bowyer, Gallen and Southall definitely went it to it with the philosophy that “any old body” will do.
Just came back on line after 3 hours. Ok no more signings, maybe Matt is waiting for transfer fees and wage demands to drop ? The good news is Taylor can't leave now because to lose your best striker would look shocking a few hours before the window shuts. If we were in mid table I'm convinced Taylor would have left (he still might) There is still time for Matt Southall to look good but last day deals often fail.
Taylor stays= good window Taylor goes= bad window
It's that clear cut.
Why should they fail ? Southall told us himself & as an ex agent he would know, the prices fall the nearer we get to the deadline.
But as you and I know Bob, if you are in demand the prices go up, if your not in demand the wages may fall. Matt Southall must know that if he has been involved with last day transfers before ?
Less than 5 hours for Matt to deliver or block an outgoing transfer. It's a results business on and off the pitch.

A substitute midfielder from a midfield that got dominated by us for 70 odd minutes, no loss at all.

If signings happen they happen. If signings don't happen they don't.
Come the morning we'll know all the ins and outs and can judge the business done.
Then we can go to the Valley and see how the team performs.

Bristol rovers have signed another striker. Permanent deal this time
