Sounds to me that Maddison just doesn't want to move to us.9

Can your budget structure really stay sustainable if you’re in threat of relegation and desperately need bodies in though? We need deals to be done and urgently.0

Maddison seems cut from a strange cloth and also a lot of Northerners prefer to stay up there.
Our worry is we have all our main goalscorers out...Taylor/Bonne/Leko/Gallagher, so no idea what we plan to do.0 -
So the undertaking Cowley gave Lincoln when he took the manager's job at Huddersfield not to poach any of their players for the rest of this season was just hot air then 😏.1

I tend to agree with this. Sounds like he's after a bigger paycheck which we won't give him. There's more to contracts than just the pay, it's possible that he's demanding too much and we have a large wage reduction upon relegation clause which is making him jittery based on our league position. January always has inflated prices and our league position makes it even harder because no players are going to want to move to us if they think there's a chance of being in league 1 next year unless they're getting significant renumeration, which we aren't offering.BigRedEvil said:Sounds to me that Maddison just doesn't want to move to us.
I'm praying we get Bowyer and a decent, fit midfielder in before Preston!2 -
The Bowyer deal is the thing I think concerns (for want of a better term) me slightly at this stage. I’m still fully confident it will get done, as I don’t believe Bowyer would’ve put out a statement saying it just requires a few tweaks for it to all fall down.MuttleyCAFC said:Bowyer had a low budget under Douchebag but managed to get deals done. Seeing as the urgency to own us was around having a transfer window to cement our place in the division, you have to think the budget is significantly higher than the summer one! It is just we are not seeing any hard evidence of it yet and that includes getting Bowyer signed up himself beyond his current deal!
Re: transfers, as others have said, I can’t see themselves committing £50m or whatever it is, just to see us in League One. MS has come out and said that he recognised the squad needs reinforcements, because relegation would be very bad.I think they know there is a sense of urgency, but based on what they offered Taylor, I think that’s our ceiling. Maybe Maddison wanted more, who knows. I get the short term argument of paying a bit more now, but it’s not just going to be about now. If they give into Maddison’s demands, then there is a longer term knock on effect
We need players in for the next two games yes, but we need to do it a sustainable manner as MS has pointed out.We wanted Roland out and new owners in. We’ve got new owners who are only 2 weeks into their ownership and already there is discord (not you personally Muttley), about what they’re willing to pay and the time it’s taking deals to be done . I can’t get my head around it. We’re like that kid in the toy store throwing a strop because their parents won’t buy them the most expensive toys

How many Championship clubs are sustainable , football is a financial fuck up, you have to speculate to accumulate (if you're lucky) , all this model waffle is dreamland .
Fans want cheap football but want us to pay up for the players , madness
put the prices up double everyones season ticket and see how keen the fans really are for you to pay up , lose lose lose whatever way you turn in this game .

I think my concern stems from the fact that I feel our position demands we go into our next two games and six points (over the next six days) with more than a midfield of an overplayed Pratley (I think he deserves a medal btw), Vennings and Morgan. And well as he did on Saturday, only Davison up front. Ok we have a few coming back but they have to be eased back for fear of losing them later!
If you think we can write those points off and wait for Barnsley then you are probably going to feel better about things than me. But I honestly feel these two games coming up are vitally important and I would have expected us to be better prepared for them in terms of personnel given we are on day 16 of the transfer window.4 -

He is very confident he wants to go to Hull, but will only happen if Jarrod Bowen moves.1 -
Were we even in for him? I didn't see anywhere link him to us and I had a look at Lincoln's forum and they were none the wiser either. From what I read on there he gets MotM every week and is fully capable of playing at this level and maybe beyond, so could be a gem for a championship side. Cowley link is there so that's probably thatForeverAddickted said:Sky reporting that Toffolo is off to Huddersfield...

That might be true but I wouldn't be that happy if we did something like what Derby have done and spend millions every year only to stay in this league anywayoohaahmortimer said:How many Championship clubs are sustainable , football is a financial fuck up, you have to speculate to accumulate (if you're lucky) , all this model waffle is dreamland .

So if Maddison is not one of the "Deals Pending" tweeted by Southall, then who is?
Have to be honest, the idea of a CM who was a target for us not to agree on an extra 1K a week in the position as is in, is bizarre.
I'm not a doom and gloomer but, we seriously need to pull our finger out and get some bodies in. Refusing to stump up an extra 52K pa or negotiating that, is not going to keep us up.
We can not keep saying after the next game we will get bodies in, we need liven up now.

A player who is very keen on going to Hull is almost *exactly* the type of player it would be good not to have sign for Charlton.PopIcon said:

So if we assembled say a 25 man squad all doing the same that extra 1k a week becomes 25k extra a week and £1.3m a year.CharltonByBlood said:So if Maddison is not one of the "Deals Pending" tweeted by Southall, then who is?

Frustrating I know as we need bodies in urgently but we do also have bodies coming back like Williams and JFC.
Agreed though we do need fresh bodies now but I get not overpaying for them too.3 -
Regarding the demand from an agent for an additional £1K a week, my understanding is that was AFTER a deal had been agreed. If we’d fallen for that then that would have set the standard for all future player negotiations. If we were already at the maximum that Steve Gallen thought the player was worth then I think we made the right call.3

Agreed though we do need fresh bodies now but I get not overpaying for them too.I get that but you can't work on that model. We are not trying to sign 25 players. We need ideally 3/4 players in. So say if all four wanted an extra 1k a week. That's 208k a year for 4 players?Is it really that unsustainable?0 -
Naby Sarr will be our top scorer going into the Preston game with young Conor Gallagher becoming a taffy. I didn't see that coming 3 months ago !8

I keep reading give them time ,which I agree with ------but what about this weekend ? No players in and a key player gone.

sounds like a case of we will not increase offer and he is holding firm for now but if no other team comes in he may be prepared to accept.covered_end_junior said:3 -
If the player was one of the players we have been linked with then it sounds like a case of cutting off the nose to spite the face. Got our chairman on sky sports news flirting with the idea of being in for players like Ivan Toney and then we hear we are skimping on wages to get some quality over the line. It's a bit frustrating. Even if it was after, as someone else said at least offer a quarter or half that, just sounds like as soon as a club or player want a bit extra we completely shut them off and that's not good for businessKillarahales said:Regarding the demand from an agent for an additional £1K a week, my understanding is that was AFTER a deal had been agreed.
