There is absolutely nothing from the source they’ve quoted, West London Sport, to suggest that we’ve moved ahead of QPR for him.

Madsen having a medical at QPR apparently and that earlier tweet translates to sold not interest.

I think we had him a bit too early.
He came on for Brighton on Saturday against Everton. He was only on for a few minutes but looked good and scored a "goal" that looked OK but was very marginally ruled out by VAR.
We can’t afford Worrall and his wages. Both Burnley and SU are keeping tabs on him for their CBs that are outgoing.
Madsen, if we really wanted him he would choose us over QPR. So again we might have been interested but are we really making a move for him?
I think there will a couple of surprise signings not on anyone’s radar.
And even if the pot has runneth dry, then take a gamble it's not like we don't have sellable assets
Agree this seems like a good option on the face of it. Even with Doug's reporterd aversion to the loan market (which I understand to a point), we have still used it in his tenure.Surely a quality loan or two is the obvious answer. We're a good side. We play good football. We've got decent facilities. Great environment for a young player at a prem club to come and stake a claim.
This ^ we had similar discussions last season and this is where I have landed.The problem with gambles is they sometimes (often) don't pay off...
What we spend now we don't have next season or in Jan. I know you are an enthusiastic fan, just like myself. And if I'm being honest I'd like to add three more players to the squad. However, that is ignoring reality. The fact is, the buy low, sell high model which Doug appears to be using is far more sustainable than the "go for it" attitude of the 90s. How long did it take to recover from that? I think this season is our best chance of promotion for ages, so I completely get the desire to bring in the final pieces. But.... What if?
Not worth the gamble IMO. So we sell MVE, Simms, Sheaf and Wright . We bring in significant funds and go again. Being a solid championship side is great. Exciting league, chance of promotion, finer margins than the prem. It's really not that bad.
Remember where we were not so long ago... This is a dream by comparison
Agree. Wasn't sure about him based on the admittedly brief bits I saw of him on YouTube.Madsen looks fun but I’m not sure he was ever what we needed anyway. We need someone closer to the Sheaf mould than anything.
We’ve already got Torp, Allen and Eccles as that kind of player.
Yeah I think it's time to start believing the smoke about us being at the top end of our budget.It’s about having the funds and we clearly don’t. Though had we not splurged on a goalkeeper, we might well have done.
We need more of a 6 anyway imoAnnoying to get beaten by QPR to a player if indeed he was a real target.

My favourite thing he’s done is just name 5 random Japanese players and claim they’re on our shortlistMy fake rumour was denied by George Smith
You definitely got more than a few thoughMy fake rumour was denied by George Smith
He just said it was bullshit …. Which it was …. Hardly caught him out … he saw straight through itMy fake rumour was denied by George Smith
100% - ask Swansea fans what Gyokeres was like for them and they’d have told you that you’re barmy if you believed he’d be a top Championship striker, let alone a top European one.I think we had him a bit too early.

Haha yeah was thinking that. Should have posted it, when he fell for the bait, then revealed. This Smith lad is a proper ITK though, he saw through Saddles attempt a few months agoHe obviously gets his rumours off this thread so posting “hey look at this fake rumour I made to fool George” probably wasn’t the most sophisticated wheeze.
With this whole 'we've ran out of money' thing, I'm not buying
Record ST + match ticket sales. Record shirt sales (the mark up per shirt sees the club get almost £20 profit per one ) higest attendances we've ever had, regularly, FA Cup run etc
And even if the pot has runneth dry, then take a gamble it's not like we don't have sellable assets
We all know at least one of our best players will be gone next year if we don't go up and for big money aswell
Haji, MVE, Simms we can demand 20million quite easily
Even Sheaf with 1 year left we can't get around 10 million
We have assets that we can cash in on, but he needs to have a real tilt at it this season for me
Not sure the auditors agree with that approachI seem to agree with every post you make Saddle, I’m standing firmly in the Bedwetters United camp
Some people were saying we shouldn’t “bet the farm” on this season but I really don’t think spending £3-5 mil on a bit of quality in midfield is betting the farm tbh. We’ve got highly valuable assets in the 4 players you mentioned, sell any one of them next season and we easily pay back any investment on a midfielder from this season. One of the best shots we’ve ever had of reaching the prem, I don’t think we should potentially squander it because of slight overspending.
