Remember, Niger is only an IA away from Nigeria, so maybe Frank The Tank is stuck somewhere there, at Gate 54.

This is going to fall through and it'll be we didn't have enough time to replace Andrews. Talks have slowed meaning Doug is playing hardball and Birmingham City or Sheffield United will just go bam there you go £8m whatever it is £35,000-£40,000 a week wages. The signing of Onyeka will be the difference IMO or someone of a similar level. If we don't get cover centrally and ideally defensively we're fucked. I don't get the fucking obsession buying and loaning just attacking players when the problem is clearly a defensive issue.

chill out man


Swear people on here think real life is like Fifa or EA football whatever it's called these days. Just chuck some money at a club and it's sorted in 15 minutes.

Also. Just because you've bought a player, doesn't mean that you can't have more that one In the works at a time. You don't have to do things 1 by 1 you know

In danger of becoming the ccfc Facebook forums if we're not careful

37 pages. Does anyone know for sure that we're even actually speaking with him? I'm not saying we're not, I have no idea, but it seems half are in the camp we're 100% not signing him or anyone else and the rest believe talks are ongoing.

Would love us to just drop another quality CM that nobody has even mentioned and simply announce the signing.

3 points tomorrow and it will all look a lot better.

I'd honestly much prefer another out of nowhere signing. Sakamoto, Torp, Hamer.etc have all been good additions with relatively little hype before they arrived. Arguably the higher profile additions like Woolf have been less successful (Rushworth the exception that proves the rule I suppose).

Hoping that Markelo is in the same mould

it really doesn't mean that does it, it could mean anything, it could even be agent talk, it could be brentford leaking to get us to agree to something or it could be bollocks but the same story says we are still most likely to sign him

If we dont get a cm in its a failure by the club. This reminds me of the season under Mowbray when we didnt get any of the players he wanted originally and we slipt down the leagues.

every man and his dog including the social media bods like Benjamin Bloom have identified our issues and yet we are leaving it to the last day or two to scratch around for a player.
Serious questions need asking of Austin and his team if we fail to get anyone. The same old we tried but couldn’t get it over the line wont wash anymore when you look at the our promotion challengers signing quality players to push their challenge whilst we sign our 5th and 6th winger backup

And why do people keep mentioning Andrews?
He hasn't been in the squad since the two loanees arrived.
He needs minutes so him going out on loan was best for the lad in my opinion.
I don't see any correlation between him going and this transfer saga.

Because he is still part of the depth chart at CM, what is there now 4 midfielders who can operate deep?

Realistically I'd say Grimes, Eccles and Torp.
Allenand Lati both played there but its not something you'd want to see.

That is such a reach, and has racist connotations in itself.
