We haven't......

Collins chose Cardiff over us
James and Waslh haven't decided where they are going yet.

The embargo is a tick box exercise that will be released should we need to sign a player by May 31st.

Your posting is so sporadic and scattered, even on a transfer rumour thread, it’s ridiculous!

But cover all bases and you might just get a few things right.....

He always does this - not saying he always lies or is wrong because a lot of what he’s saying is true but he’s not going to go around saying we’ve got shit loads of money

He's not going to be silly enough to reveal his hand, especially when it's currently a buyers market. But at the same time I expect he puts comments out like this to also temper expectations.

As I previously mentioned in the thread, I suspect this window is going to be tougher than most for Robins with regards to recruitment. The fallout from the pandemic is only likely to contribute to that.

We haven’t missed out on anyone. The embargo doesn’t forbid us signing anyone, we can make agreements then ratify them with the EFL once were out of it.

Just because I’ve heard of him and is seemingly going to leave Liverpool...Ben Woodburn.

Loves a drink and a party. That’s Ben’s problem.

Hence the reason why he’s last two loans have ended rather quickly.

Poor discipline, waste of talent and too much money for someone so young.

Ngandu to Exeter on loan is an interesting one and deffo a step in the right directions for him. 6 months at a top 8 league 2 club could put him in really good stead to come back and step up

He will have sat down with James and explained what we can afford to pay him ( with a bit in reserve )
Probably made a tentative enquiry about Walsh , just to make sure he knows we are interested.
Should think he is in negotiations with Brighton as well.
Will be lots going on, we just need to be patient and see what we get.
Robins statement was probably nearer the truth than many of us would like.

I cannot see us signing more than four players.

Shipley and Allen will remain as squad players (not a bad thing in my opinion).

Late on in pre season we might get four in on loan. Who we get might rely on generosity of the loaning club and their belief in our coaching systems.

I said it before, but it’s been a few weeks; there is some truth in the Paterson one. It would be a great singing; him and COH as the attacking two in the box or competing for 10. Certainly a significant step up from our current AM options.

The Collins one wasn’t as simple as him just rejecting our offer either.

I'm always staggered the Sheff Wed Paterson is only 26, looks like he's pushing 40.

Was a badly explained late night side point on the Wednesday version of Paterson. I'll blame the beer!
