  1. Why would you assume someone thinks that. It makes you sound a little silly. As it happens, a club would (normally) submit a bid. Sometimes this is after verbally speaking to the selling club, sometimes not. The selling club will then decide whether this matches their valuation (and even if ot does they will normally reject the bid as a second, higher bid will occur for the majority of the time). Once a process has been negotiated the selling club will allow the buying club to speak to the player. On occasion, the selling club will see that a deal is likely to be struck so will allo
  2. Yep, you don't say "here's half of what you expect, let us talk to him".
  3. Ssn now reporting the Cannon to Leicester deal isnprettg much done for 7m. Also reporting that Norwich made a 7m bid on Wednesday. And yet we expected to be allowed to speak to him after offering 4m. 🤣
  4. Luton trying to loan lokonga from arsenal. Well out of our league, but well out of Lutons too. 15m midfielder.
  5. My biggest expectation today......no incoming (other than bangura) My hope for today.......paddy out and a striker and rb in on loan (I just can't see us spending money) My biggest worry for today.......15-20m offers from the premier league for Hackney and/or 5-8m offers for Riley mcgree. I'd happily have the window shut now given the worry far outweighs the hope
  6. The great hope that got everyone excited after the larsen thing didn't happen 🤣
  7. And everyone has an opinion. I've seen this happen time after time and every time the fans react positively towards the club, not negatively. The club has every chance to properly shut down these rumours. They choose not to. I haven't said Steve Gibson is brainwashing anyone. But he's a very astute man. And if something is working why change it. And let's face it, these "big money offers" aren't making themselves, and why would the media just make them up?
  8. Did I say I'd show my *** then? I very much doubt it. Though I did pass the information on that was passed to me, and it was well before it hit the media. Turned out to be true or false that we were in for him. Who knows
  9. I agree, smokescreen is the wrong term. However, the club "appears" to have had these type of things happen every year. And the fans don't seem to get annoyed. Well most dont anyway. Look at today....most on here were hoping for Cannon for anywhere from 4-8m. By the time that Leicester apparently showed interest the same fans were not disappointed he wasn't coming, instead pointing out the sum was far too large, the club shouldn't be silly spending such money on an unproven commodity (same people were buzzing about lath for 5m, and let's face it, he's properly proven), and it's good that cobur
  10. I'm sure I also pointed out "smokescreen" was a term i disagreed with. We don't gave to agree on it. Like I said, opini9ns are opinions. I'm basing mine on seeing the same thing happen repeatedly. You are presumably basing yours on "the club would never lie to me"
  11. Have we bought in 1 permanent and two on loan (providing the bangura deal goes through). I mean, that's what I said, and it's written on this forum, on this very thread so, in my head and in reality 😁
  12. If we spend 4m on a striker I'll show my @rse in binns window
  13. No, no....according to you the club shut this runour down. We didn't make a move at all !!
  14. It's very easy to support the team and be annoyed at the board of the club they play for. Ask any fan of a club that's ever sang "sack the board"
  15. What I said has happened. I'd call that real!!
  16. I'm not cynical mate, I'm realistic. I've seen it too many times. I posted two or three days ago about the "three wanted". I posted we may get 1 perm and two on loan, 1 of the three might be a starter. Guess what.... People can follow blindly and be happy with what the club says all the time. That's fine. But I'm going to most my feelings. And it has panned out exactly as I expected again. As previously said, I hope they pull a rabbit out of the hat tomorrow and prove me wrong. But that's a hope, certainly not an expectation.
  17. So him visiting Rockcliffe didn't happen? Us making a bid didn't happen? Has that actually been said by the club. Because people are saying we don't shut down rumours but you are stating the club literally came out and shut this one down. Could you post the link where someone at the club said we haven't bid. And then, ad someone just said to me.....you believe them?
  18. Apologies, not better, "as good as", or "can be better than". There are suddenly lots of people happy to keep coburn that we're not overly fussed about him heading to Plymouth. If you can't see that, well, that's you.
  19. Carrick has news conferences all the time. If the questions aren't asked, we'll why aren't they, especially from the local press. Oh that's right, they do what the club tells them.
  20. All the time. You see managers asked questions all the time about players and they say "no offers made". Happens regularly. And I've answered the second part two or three times. "We are trying to spend money". Hell, it's worked today. People have gone from seriously wanting cannon and getting mad excited to "he's overpriced" and "coburn is better than him".
  21. In 2022 4 clubs lost more than 30m in the championship. Middlesbrough being one of them. The next club down the list lost 13.8m. Luton lost 1.9m. Just saying
  22. Are you happy with the squad we have? Do you think it's a top 2 squad? A top 6 squad? Define "stable". Are we in a building process so happy to finish mid table but lose 15m this year again? We are, as fans, mainly concerned about results, but when that doesn't go well we look at players that would improve us. Finances and stability comes into this, as does players we are led to believe are targets
  23. On wages, absolutely. We either go for promotion or we don't. Can you explain why Gibson is paying over a million pounds per month to keep us afloat? I'm just wondering
