i buy trainers because i know they look okcabbles said:
I liken our transfer policy to my clothes shopping. Occasionally I will go out and spend £100 plus on a pair of jeans because I know it's the right thing to do if you want quality and have any chance of looking the part, but most of the time I'll be skulking round the t-shirt racks of tk maxx buying £15 dodgy brand name shirts that don't fit me properly, just because I'm trying to save money. I convince myself I look okay, but then I go out with it on and feel uncomfortable compared to all my mates who have better fitted attire and look trendy.MrLargo said:
Not to mention young and completely inexperienced. Basically, the sort of player you should be going for if you're on Shrewsbury Town's budget and aspirations, not the sort of player you'd bring in if you were trying to "build a squad capable of challenging for promotion" (Quote K Meire, April 2016).charltonnick said:He's cheap so ideal for Charlton
I just look like a c*** with ill fitting clothing and have to get hammered to forget my miserable presence.

Note KR saying another striker and Magennis "back soon".3

Where do you think Swindon would get the money to take him permanently ? We needed his wages off the books and have a deal with probably the only club that would take him.supaclive said:LOAN! FFS. What a load of nonsense.
Not great but it is what it is.

I'm going to stick my neck out now and say we'll sign an Arsenal striker very soon.4

Doubt they are paying all his wages.ShootersHillGuru said:

I'm told this Liverpool kid can also play right back. That makes a bit more sense to me then. Means we have some cover for Solly without having to move Konsa/Byrne if we don't want to.0

At least (as a loan) he won't be able to play against us on the final game of the season (assuming we don't make the playoffs!).East_Stand_Loopy said:

Wigan have submitted an offer for Omar Bogle according to skysports, let the Will Grigg speculation begin again.3

The constant churn of managers and players is the thing this regime is the thing that is most wrong about this club currently, at least from a playing perspective.colthe3rd said:
Completely agree. He's had 4 months, club's get criticised for giving manager's not enough time well this is the same imo. Unless there's something we don't know about but in that case why not just sell him rather than loan. Very strange situation.LargeAddick said:you'd think with Byrne and Holmes in the side we could start playing to Ajose's strengths. He has proved he can score goals at this level yet we are going to replace him with nothing more than a punt.
On the one hand, it is pointless hanging onto players that KR did not sign and does not rate or feel can work in his preferred system. To be fair, Ajose hasn't shown much that suggests he's a lone striker in the making and that is clearly how Karl wants to play.
However, this is why it is critical that, whatever our final position this season, KR is given time, and I mean like proper time - 2 or 3 seasons, to build, consolidate and get it right.
The owners need to show some genuine patience, but so do some fans. Short-termism is killing the club.

Ajose needs to get match fit and he'll settle at Swindon easily. His stock has been Charltonised already so not many clubs would take a 'money' punt on a player that isn't making the first team of a mid-table League one team. He's off the pay-roll as others have said, so if it free's up old tight-arse's purse strings for a loan of someone else, so be it.
With over £100m spent in Championship so far it's easy to see why we aren't buying. We aren't going to unearth another Lookie any time soon.

Sums up transfer dealings over the past 3 years with the exception of the odd fluke, it's a total shambles.

Guys, we were promised some cash splashage. I don't think we should doubt that this is going to occur. It's not as if we are going to get rid of even more of our first team squad and replace them with players with no league experience on loan. We've moved on from those dark days.22

That'll be Scunthorpe's way of saying the player isn't for sale.The Prince-e-Paul said:

He's a vital part of their currently successful team, and they don't want to lose him.

If we only get this untested youngster in from Arsenal after all the chat about cash splashing, all the payments we've received and the number of first teamers that have left it will be a complete fucking joke. How anyone can think that's a good window I have no idea. 7 hours to impress, Meire. I highly doubt you will6
