And who exactly is pocketing the change? And the Dann money, and the Aron money...leaving us with a weakened squad after the summer exodus.

He's our new striker after AT realised he's more mobile than Parkin.

But they sold Turner and haven't even re-invested all that money! We needed 3-4 players in, not 1 in 1 out. What happened to the money we allegedly had to strengthen with pre-Turner sale? The Dann money, the Aron money, the King/Aron/Westwood contract offers, etc. I keep posting this over...

Maybe we only bid 150k for ALF? Despite Dulieu repeatedly claiming we had funds, it is plainly obvious that we had bugger all. Dulieu also TWICE said Thorn would have to "wheel and deal" (not like him to contradict himself, I know...) To me it simply comes down to us not having enough money to...

No chance! They sell our best CB for a snip and get in 1 unproven striker when we needed 3 experienced players in and zero out to have a chance! AND they've made money today. Do we get to spend the rest of the Turner money? Do we ****:blue:

Easily pleased! We've got to the state where we're happy with a squad full of kids and not replacing Aron and King-despite the board insisting that money was still there. We really needed 3 in 0 out to be competitive in this division. I'm gutted at losing Turner. McDonald may be promising, but...

Because he's worth lots more than 750k and is one of the best young defenders in the Championship. Because he signed a 3 year contract not long ago-if he'd played for us until Xmas, we could have sold him then for 2m+. Because SISU said the money we didn't spend on wages for King, Aron, Westwood...

Platt would make sense, MK Dons have recently admitted they have very little budget and Platt had the best season of his career there. I doubt they could afford Freddys wages-and we really do need him as competition for Lukas and Cody. Plus he looked very good as sub against Watford. 2 strikers...

You mean he has an orange face, surely?

Is that the Tesco's in Portugal?

I got confused, it's Billy Jones I was thinking of. Who is way too good for us I expect :facepalm:

I thought it was the ex-Preston Rob Jones, who is pretty good. But it's the ex-Hibs and Scunthorpe Rob Jones, who is a huge donkey of a CB who can't pass. I don't think he can play anywhere other than CB, and again, he would not fit into our style of play.

Brum have just flogged Jerome to Stoke. That'll give them the money for a replacement. Target man with strength being the job description..

Well that'll do me! I'd take Lukas and McDonald, but not McDonald instead of Lukas. And whilst I'm glad Parkin aint coming, it makes it look like he was valued at "zero" in the Turner deal...great business, SISU!

He'd be a really good signing! A ball-playing defender who can play in the holding role as well as either full-back position. Of course that does eerily fit the description of another player who we already have...but I'd say the "2 moves in one window" rule makes it impossible.

EXACTLY. He was superb for Newport in the division below, but failed to make the step-up to L2 football at Stevenage. Was it 1 in 10 at the end of last season? NO THANKS.

How on earth has this gone from 750k plus Parkin to 750k only? Is Parkin valued so badly that they were just trying to get him off the wage bill? More awesome business sense by SISU!

Freddy could finish in L2..O'Donovan could finish in L1. What makes everyone think he can step up? If we end up with Parkin and him but no Lukas, my bleeding season ticket can stay unused for the rest of the season. Had enough of this.

Oh come on, you've seen what they've done over the summer. We'll maybe get a couple of scraps nobody else wants, who don't really want to come here, and who the manager doesn't want but has to take 'cos at this stage we just need bodies! Despite these incoming "players", we will nevertheless...

Seems to be the way we're going then! Maybe this is AT's plan B-completely change tactics, throwing our opponents in the process, sign as many huge strikers as possible, then HOOF! Welcome to The Crazy Gang Mark II (although we have even less money and an even worse chairman).
