  1. I mean it's not quantum physics, "we tried for a player at out price range, oh dear we were outbid, but honestly, we were trying to spend some money". Have you not noticed that a lot of fans were quite excited about cannon potentially joining? And yes, there were runours that we were in for archer.....runours that the club didn't shut down, again. In fact, many on here were actively hoping we would spend 10-15m on him. The club allows expectation of the fans to be raised by rumours and doesn't shut them down. Then when we don't get the names we are linked with, we'll we tried
  2. I'd be overjoyed to be proven wrong. I never seem to be though
  3. My sentiments exactly. Came into the day with fans hoping for Cannon at 7m+, obrien on loan with an option to buy, or to buy at 8m, and maybe another. Instead we spend less than 2m in total and suddenly the fans are happy with the dealings and suddenly coburn is as good or better than cannon. A+ for the club getting some fans onside again despite most fans hopes and expectations not really being met again. They are very good at that.
  4. Yes, yes they will. The loans combined will be less than a million.
  5. "We are not in for Tom cannon" is nothing like "it looks unlikely" Unlikely, on a probability scale is above zero but below a quarter. Shut down means zero chance
  6. You aren't suggesting a conspiracy are you? Tut tut. It's not like the club haven't shut down talks of a fairly big money move and then spent about a million and some small loan fees 🤣
  7. Southampton in for stewart, Sunderland in for Cannon, Sunderland apparently rejected a bid for Stewart, now Southampton in for Cannon. Seems to be someone is trying to pull someone's strings.
  8. It may well be. But so is pulling the wool over fans eyes. Why do the club do this every single year? I mean you can go around wearing blinkers or you can ask the question, "why do I spend more and more on the club every year and the club doesn't back that up". Also, I'm jot the only one thinking it. Diggerlad openly thinks the exact same thing. Many others think it. I'm nit itk so an easy target for "bedwetting" messages while itk people aren't I guess. I'd personally suggest that the term "bed wetting" and name calling is infantile. But that's just my opinion.
  9. Ah, one of those, "he has an opinion thats not rosy, he's a bed wetter" posts 🤣
  10. The "player that gets the fans thinking Gibson is going to splash the cash" failing in the last few days
  11. and yet appears to recur, every single year
  12. Really? The "conspiracy theorists" of as I would call them "people" you talk about are those that believe, at times, the club tries to make it look like they are trying to throw money at big targets but get outbid at the last minute or the price is just too much. I think it's reasonable to say each oc these loans had cost us less than 500k in loan fee and I'd also be confident that the wages we just saved on payero is covering at least most of the wages we are paying on these two. These moves are cheap options gir the club. Hell, last year we had 5 loans from the prem and 1 from th
  13. It's not really crooks position either 🤷
  14. Good chance to give payero some minutes.....oh wait 😁
  15. Sold to Watford for one whole English sterling pound!!!. Middlesbrough will receive 15p as a result
  16. Going back to what was said earlier, would it not be exactly the kind of deal we should be looking at? If he really is 12 months behind archer then we should be taking him at 7.5 and having an 18m player on our hands next year. Or are we actually playing the "get a 1m player and sell for 5m" game?
  17. We are in for players apparently that we probably aren't because this happens every year. However it looks like Sam greenwood and Lewis O'brien are coming in on loan
  18. Love all the info @diggerlad07 and completely agree to an extent. I've been saying all week I can't see us getting 3 permanently, and certainly not 3 starters. I'm not a conspiracy theorist as such but agree with the "smokescreen" comment, though disagree with the actual term. Its not difficult to see that year after year we are "linked" with big buys. And year after year they fail in the final week. Year after year the club don't deny we are in for these players, leading the fans to believe we are. Why would they do this? To say they are trying. Simple. "We are actively tryi
  19. Can we nit just sign him as well. We have 1t attacking midfielders so 3 forwards doesn't seem a stretch 😁
  20. Trying to be positive but does the greenwood stuff seem a bit Alex mowett ish? Everyone seemed keen, loan from same division, team recently relegated, a position we have a few players in. Never gets a kick, is one of the loanees that ended up being meh. Hope I'm wrong and he wins player of the year !!
  21. If greenwood comes in that's too many in the "three behind" for me. I'm assuming at least 1 will be leaving. Gilbert on loan maybe but I'm still a bit worried we will lose Riley on deadline day
