    It doesn't close. It slams shut.

    Either way, mods need to change the thread title. I'm being cheated out of three days of excitement.
  • If we manage to get one in (a creative midfield upgrade on those we have/have gone) AND Thierry tied down i'll take that as a win. 
  • Same old soundbites but very little action.

    Funny how every single other League 1 side (bar 1) can sign a player without having to wait for other teams to do their business first so that they can release a player to us.

    Don't worry, people seem excited that we are now finding ways to get rid of the poor signings we shouldn't have made in the first place and giving credit for it. 

    They've got a few days, but other than Lloyd Jones extension, this has been tragic. If we don't sign a player I'll be miffed.

    There has to be a midfielder coming in .  
  • If it was necessary to clear out some unwanted players to balance the budget, and then have to wait in order to get the right players and the right price, the it’s absolutely the right thing to be doing. Good transfer business is always about getting the right players for the right price. Not just any old players for whatever the asking price is. We’ve signed players for the sake of it too often and they rarely pay off. And all clubs, except maybe Man City, have a budget and have to manage ins and outs within that budget. The club is, unfortunately, operating in reality not in some fan’s fantasy. It’s not like results have been suffering while we wait.

    Time will tell what business we do and how good it is, but just because we haven’t signed anyone it doesn’t mean we’re messing the transfer window up. There’s still several day left, judge it when it’s done. 

    Also, everyone always assume that every signing another team makes works out, but just because some of these other clubs have done lots of business doesn’t mean they’ve signed good players that will improve them. 

    Quality not quantity.
