    Weird. Surely they could get a fee for him?

    I think around at the weekend somebody said Josh Wright is off to Nottingham Forest

    Why not take the fee?
    That's what I thought.

    Clearly something has happened behind the scenes.

    Shame it had to happen to the Gills owner as he always seemed such a nice bloke
    I always thought he was a bit of a scally wag............oh hang on a minute :wink:
  • Would like us to go for Billy Bodin at Bristol Rovers if we were looking at another winger, linked with Cardiff today though. Certainly up there with the best wingers in the league.

    Why on earth would we want him, and why on earth would he come? Way too expensive for a back up and no way would he come to bench ride.

    My over/under of strikers who scored at least 10 goals last season that we acquire before the window closes is "zero."

    Plus he was loyal to Danger Mouse back in the 80s.

    Looked a bit rubbish against us earlier this month.

    I wouldn't be surprised if something happened behind the scenes.

    I finally got around to watching KR interview after the win at Rotherham and I am now even more convinced that we will not make any more signings before the window closes.

    KR has openly said we could do with another winger, he's one of the best in the league. He's available for 250k, not particularly expensive and he wouldn't necessarily be backup. He has been linked with Cardiff, Hull and Fulham today so he actually quite likely would end up being a regular for us. He's scored 5 in 6 games so far this year.

    It was merely comment, I'm not demanding we sign him lol.

    No Novak at Crawley & Umerah sent out on loan surely means someone is coming in. We can't release Ajose, Watt, Vetokele, Umerah & it seems Novak and bring in no-one!

    He is not a winger.

    He could play cm and aribo on wing

    Novak not playing because KR is scared he will get injured for Saturday, when he really needs game time, illustrates why we need another striker in. There will be other international breaks where big Mag won't be available.

    You don't think so?

    Double edged sword. Novak could have done with 60-70 mins as he's not had much game time (6 mins v Northampton & 90 v Norwich). Will have to, play at Oldham & will be undercooked imo.

    So in the absence of signings, rumours and even pricks, the big question is will this thread join the 1 Million Views club before the window 'slams shut' ?

    Currently on 982,000.

    I suspect yes and the next 18k views will see about 17.8k of disappointed visitors

    Unfortunately, a lot of comments which are not rumours, but as long as everyone is interested, who cares

    Cannot believe it's got that many!
    I've looked about twice.
    A) because I know it is the usual droll affair
    B )I won't have a clue who they are if we do sign someone

    There's not been many rumours, naturally - but there's been some good banter and surprisingly decent football discussion.
    I've quite enjoyed it.

    Still think Novak should have got some game time tonight, 60 minutes against Crawley might have got him a confidence boosting goal or two,and lets face it he could get injured in training tomorrow

    As Baeur has said the spirit within the club at the moment is superb, my memory of Wright tells me to avoid him like the plague.
