Not that I want to get drawn into a historical discussion but when I was a youngster Franco Baresi was the best in the World. He was far from imposing in build just his presence.
Luke Woolfenden and Flynn Downs of Ipswich alongside Maddison and Tooney of Peterbrough would be decent. Not rumours but better than chatting about ex purchases i would take Gwion Edwards from Ipswich as well!
So are we no longer concerned that Redhenry is saying we are paying peanuts?
I think peanuts is relative. Judging by the players we got in the summer (and Taylor, yes Sunderland might have offered more but if was "life changing" more he would have gone there) it's more the transfer fees, not wages we didnt/couldn't/wouldn't pay.
The striker that went to Sunderland, the 2 that went to Wigan, and the winger that has just gone to Oxford on loan (I can't remember all their names), were all players Bowyer has said he was intrested in, all went for transfer fees. I don't think wages would have been the problem.
Just done 470 posts. Rumour thread only. It's not difficult. Set up another thread if you want to chat General football. It's football rumours we want.
Well, if there aren't any rumours going around then you can't post any. 3 different posters had various names for our first signing and only 1 got it right (so he said afterwards) and that was 1 of 3 names he had heard.
I reckon no signings tomorrow but a couple early next week.....but probably players not mentioned on here.
When Lee Bowyer drove to talk to a Player after the Chairman gave the ok, was anyone not disappointed that Matt didn't give the Mileage that Lee drove from Sparrow lane ? Ok just me, I love a quiz.
9hrs to go to sign someone to play tomorrow. Come on chaps, you can do this.
Wishing you all good luck.
If we get one across the line today, it has to be a striker, surely?
It’ll be whoever we’ve agreed a transfer fee, contract and completed a medical with first. Players don’t have to be signed in order of positional necessity.
I’d love us to have at least one in for tomorrow, but I doubt it.

Of course, and that’s not what I was suggesting. If we sign anyone prior to midday today, that’s excellent news. Just in terms of where we are with the squad, we really could do with it being a striker.
Just heard a link to Scott Hogan at Stoke - any thoughts ?
Where did you hear this? Not even twitter, the ministry of bullshit, mentions us and him?
I have a close friend who works within the physio dept at the club and they get advised who is needed for a medical asap !
So he’s having a medical then? So it’s not a link it’s a done deal??
No hes not having a medical and its not a done deal at all. - just got a message to say hes been told to have a medical available this evening and that's the name that's being banded around. Nothing more than that !! Calm down
Did your mate end up doing the medical he kept available yesterday evening??

No reason not to hope they are though.
I do share you scepticism that we'll get one in today.
What positions do we expect this to be?
Striker, LCB, CM, LB?
No doubt they are trying, but getting the signings right is more important that one game.
