Summer Transfer Rumours - Deadline Day p446

Something about Bristol Rovers doesn't feel right.
For example they've taken down the temporary away seating behind the goal, and have started building a larger temporary stand, but without getting planning permission.1 -
Looks like JCH deal has collapsed as paperwork not done in time.2

Tbf it’s not against the law to build things without planning consent - you can apply retrospectively if you are prepared to take the risk of being ordered to take the structure down. Temporary buildings have far more chance of being approved too.killerandflash said:Something about Bristol Rovers doesn't feel right.

Just put a bet on for us to be relegated......this ownership is a joke

Yeah they look a very strong side. We played them at the right time, unfortunately.Sage said:Colleague of mine knows the Bristol Rovers owners. One of them are from Jordan and have got a load of money. They were looking for a club to buy a number of years ago and went for Bristol Rovers as they liked the area. Recently sold a large stake to another rich guy from the Middle East.
With Collins, JCH and Brown, that’s a strong front line. Also signed Harvey Vale the other week on loan from Chelsea. Think they’ll get top 6 this season.
Don't think Joey Barton is great as a manager, but that front three is enviable.
To those saying "why can't we compete with Bristol Rovers for players?" this is why
Wealthy Middle Eastern owners willing to spend their money.3 -
A strange and not very satisfying summer transfer window. Absolutely no clue if we’ve signed Rak Saki’s or Matt Smith’s
Pretty sure though that Scott has worked hard to get those deals done and seems a credible bloke.
Remains to be seen if the new manager wants what he’s bought though.2 -
Except you don't stop losses in the Championship, you only reduce them.golfaddick said:£1m for Nombe
£800k for JCH.
Thats what it takes. As someone above just said - cant understand what SE7's play is. Spend c£10m on a business that loses £8m a year without owning any assets and then dont spend 10% of your loses to help you stop those losses next season.
Methven has really spun the yanks a line.
Like, I get JCH is a very good player at this level, but I also understand not wanting to spend 800k plus wages on a League One striker unless you feel like that striker is your one missing piece. I'm not convinced he is the one thing our squad is missing.
Also, Nombe went to the Championship1 -
JCH stays at Peterboro. Did they ever really want to sell?1
-
They've had all summer to sign him, he's been publicly transfer listed all that time.17

Doing business with Boro seems like a shitstorm I’d want no part in. Feel better being a CAFC fan than a Rovers fan tonight. Gotta be heartbreaking for themCallumcafc said:JCH stays at Peterboro. Did they ever really want to sell?2 -

Did you bet on Cafc to go down last August and the August before or were you a fan of our ownership then when we were low down in League 1 ?

Ah so JCH was 800k and not the unaffordable 2-3 million as some people were suggesting.
So why weren't we in for the best striker in the league when we need a striker to partner May..
Presumably there are no funds available then? Cause all we have done is got in players to match last season's wage bill. We've even sent a handful out on loan.
Fair play to Bristol Rovers owners, actually showing ambition.

So much ambition that they didn't get the deal done? Smacks of us a couple of seasons running when we were in for players but "couldn't get them over the line in time"Braziliance said:Ah so JCH was 800k and not the unaffordable 2-3 million as some people were suggesting.

Peterborough are a yo-yo club so why would they let him go for 800k or do they feel he is on the way down or simply that is a good price for him ?
Just thought the posh are great at finding young strikers who replace their older strikers so yes it makes sense.
Edit: sounds like the posh Chairman waited too long before saying yes.0 -
Posh were initially asking 1.6m for JCH. He wanted silly wages too and is overweight atm, not a massive loss.4

That isn't confirmed yet. Right now it's a bunch of wannabe itk accounts saying it or trolls.sam3110 said:

I imagine his price dropped when no one was willing to spend the 2 million or so Peterboroughs owner wanted.
It sounds nothing like us as they actually submitted a bid confirmed by the owner, we would enquire about players or claim to.
2 million would have made us promotion contenders by the looks of it this window, easily. Why they've bought a club to then be tight is beyond my understanding.
We were never in for Ladapo and if our owners make out the Man City lad was the priority they're full of it, he was the cheap option. Same old Charlton3 -

If Tedic ever makes a Premier League appearance for Man City I'll not only eat my hat but @Henry Irving 's cardi as well !!Nicholas said:Seems like a bunch of desperate signings, not being funny but why did we need to wait to deadline day to get any of these players if we truly wanted them. We signed a bloke who was out of contract which could have been done any time and have signed 3 players on loan who were never in a million years going to play for their parent team this season. Unless Man city were hanging on in case Haaland picked up a knock!! We had 3 inexperieneced centre backs so we sent one on loan to bring in another young inexperienced defender. Same old shit different season.
To say he is a Man City player is like saying I'm The Open champion just because i've played at St Andrews.6 - Sponsored links:

More chance to get a return on relegation than promotion, though neither option very likely.soapboxsam said:ct_addick said:Just put a bet on for us to be relegated......this ownership is a joke

Mid-table League One club, which is too good to go down but with insufficient ambition to go up.1 -
I can't see it but even if it has, I doubt that was a ploy to fake some ambition.Callumcafc said:Braziliance said:

Probably more so Peterborough have held out, it hasn't paid off, Bristol Rovers have gone in and it's too late. That's how it goes.
He has been available the whole window but not at that price. We probably could have got Ladapo for a similar fee I imagine but we don't have the right owners.
Maybe next time, hopefully0 -
The sticking point with JCH would have been his wage demands. He can now run out his contract knowing a Championship club will come in for him on a free at the end of the season and he’d double or treble his wages. Rovers must’ve been waiting until the Posh got desperate to shift him at a much reduced price, but then they would’ve had to pay near Championship wages. The real losers are Posh, they’ve lost out on a major transfer fee. My Posh supporting mate has said they already had the replacement signed.0

could be worth getting someone to follow the Peterborough scouts. Whilst Chucks is here picking up a wage we could get him to do it.5 -
JCH or Ladapo would have been great but let’s be honest it could have been a lot worse, definitely thought CBT would be sold
In an ideal world Kirk and Mcgrandles out and one more good signing in
Still weak in some areas but think this squad can have a go with the right management0 -
Good signings this window. Now need a manager to get them up to speed.
Probably a bit late for this season re top 6 but you never know.
As for that usual group of know it all nay sayers, they can fuck off and 'Support' Chelsea.
Spunked a Billion so far, lads. Right up your alley.10 -
On balance I think we've done ok over the last little while, some of the guys we wanted to move on have been moved on and the recruitment (on paper) is somewhat promising........ and we've concocted an opportunity to get someone else to manage the coaches and squad and get a good tune out of the fiddle.
Sure it would have been great to see an experienced and decent CB and striker come in and tbh my jury is out on whether all we have will gel this season.........
However I do appreciate to turn the good ship CAFC into what I'd like it to be will take time and I'm so hoping we have better owners and a better SMT this time around......... for the time being I'll take the change and live the next couple of CAFC months with a half full glass.4 -

Whilst Chucks is here picking up a wage we could get him to do it.The “replacement” (he’s obviously not considered as such by Posh but had JCH left it would’ve been looked at in that way) is a striker from Swindon Town who scored 8 goals last year
Am sure that would’ve gone down well if our scouts had identified him as the missing link 😉3 -
