Unusually wet .. just think we are a couple off being a top side in this league and just desperately want us to do the business needed as im sure robins does .. we probably will do something
But I can't imagine everybody will be pleased if we don't sign anybody
Unfortunately we bought in the wrong strikers and adding a decent central defender and decent attacking midfielder aren't going to make us 'a top side in this league'. We will have a mid table side until that's resolved.Unusually wet .. just think we are a couple off being a top side in this league and just desperately want us to do the business needed as im sure robins does .. we probably will do something

That was me. I’m his man servantMy guess is a couple at least are lined up. We have the rumours which might be correct but then as we have seen different names can turn up.
Was at the U/21 game Tuesday Robins was there and a youngish tall athletic looking chap stood talking with him the first half, could have been a player but then again could have been his chauffeur, all very intriguing.
It’s a case of sitting back and see what happens and talk about after Friday.
Wrong strikers is a pretty embarrassing take... Let's judge at the end of the season eh.Unfortunately we bought in the wrong strikers and adding a decent central defender and decent attacking midfielder aren't going to make us 'a top side in this league'.

Wrong strikers?Unfortunately we bought in the wrong strikers and adding a decent central defender and decent attacking midfielder aren't going to make us 'a top side in this league'. We will have a mid table side until that's resolved.
no...they havent both scored 5 goals already so must be shit i'm afraidWrong strikers is a pretty embarrassing take... Let's judge at the end of the season eh.
Are you talking transfer activity or bed activity?You can see it coming though. Seems like constant switching of targets recently and none of them coming off.
Wrong strikers?
FFS....
Does the loan window close too tomorrow night or not?
For £10m+ I think we could have done better.Darn it, if only we'd bought the right strikers. It's not like proven top level strikers are hard to find or particularly expensive.
We should ditch Simms and Wright straight away and use the money to buy Harry Kane or someone like that. Like Gyokeres, if you're not on fire immediately you're clearly never going to improve - lucky we got shot of him really.

I mean Robins doesn't even play them a full game or play them together and Godden is the lead striker.
You can already see there is a problem.
yes it closes too, I always thought it carried on until end of September

Who is constantly switching targets, the club, journalists or the fans?
Of course you're not there yet - they've not scored a hat full after what, 4 or so games?Got to be honest. I’m not there yet and willing to give lots of time. But I’ve been worried about the strikers since we bought them. Both have excellent goal scoring records wherever they’ve been though so willing to hold my tongue until the end of the season.
Styles was said to be wide of the mark? Anyway there is putting feelers out and serious intent. Any club will be working on a main target and a back up at any given time.The club. We’ve gone Kitching > Brekalo > Kitching and Styles > Euro CM > O’Brien > Someone domestic in a matter of a week or so.
You can say we don’t know anything blah blah blah, but you can read between the lines when various sources are saying things.
Everything suggests Gus leaving has put a bit of a cat among the pigeons and we haven’t got a solid lead on a replacement or a final CB.
That’s fine, I’d rather wait and get the right players, but that’s what it feels like.
Agree with the sentiment. We have no idea if we'll ever see this amount of cash again so it needs spending wisely. That said, if it's not spent now, I suspect it will be held back until next summer rather than January, unless we're really pushing for top 6. January is always hard to recruit in, players under contract, teams unwilling to let them leave mid-season unless you pay over the top prices.Let’s just not panic buy for the sake of looking big in this transfer market. I personally would leave it if these players are just gap fillers until January. That gives us 4 months to take our time and get the right players for the long term .
It's a opinion. The guy said we are 2 transfer players off being a top side and I dont think we are with our strike force.Wrong strikers is a pretty embarrassing take... Let's judge at the end of the season eh.

We're largely a new team compared to last season. We've taken out 30 goals and 20 assists. That's a big gap to fill and the chances of a new team coming together and spanking everyone after 4 games are slim. We've done ok.
Simms has done it at this level before. Haji is an international striker. To say we could've done better (not your comment, I know), is laughable. It's like it's simple to go out and get who you want for how much you want.
I'm pretty confident in leaving things to the team who got Gyo scoring, rather than shitting the bed after a few games when both strikers have one goal between them.
Do I want them scoring sooner - yes. Do I think 'some' are over-reacting - yes. But nothing new there to be fair...
We're going to have a list of potential signings but at this end of the transfer window, with the season already underway, everyone knowing we've had a lot of income, the team we're signing from knowing they also need to replace the player they've lost, then teams will be trying to pull our pants down over fees. I'd be surprised if we managed to complete any permanents now without vastly overpaying. Nothing in, or loans only, would be my prediction.The club. We’ve gone Kitching > Brekalo > Kitching and Styles > Euro CM > O’Brien > Someone domestic in a matter of a week or so.

Hamer went 3 weeks ago, it just seems very clear that we didn’t plan for his departure in the way we did for Gyo.We're going to have a list of potential signings but at this end of the transfer window, with the season already underway, everyone knowing we've had a lot of income, the team we're signing from knowing they also need to replace the player they've lost, then teams will be trying to pull our pants down over fees.

This is all pure speculation based off the postings of one person on here who doesn’t even get that much right.The club. We’ve gone Kitching > Brekalo > Kitching and Styles > Euro CM > O’Brien > Someone domestic in a matter of a week or so.

We have zero idea whether we’ve actually been switching targets or not.
