I remember at the start of the season when Warnock missed out on his top targets and none of them are pulling up any trees, so this could be another blessing in disguise. You never know. Admire the optimism, personally just think he means we're back after bolasie, which I think improves us, ideally like some sort of swap deal involving britt, but realistically that won't happen 2 Link to post Share on other sites

sanddancer 1,967 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I can see it now. Latest news. BORO fail to sign several players and beat the deadline after discovering a squirrel had chewed through the fax cable. It was not obviously apparent the line was dead for some time, as the cleaner frequently uses the same electrical outlet when cleaning the fish tank. A investigation revealed although past minor mishaps had in someway contributed in targeted players not signing, it in know way has affected our ability as a club to progress. On the same note EG source can reveal that in this instance it was judged to be a serious misjudgment of professionalism and the maintenance boy has been terminated. It was alleged BORO have shown compassion and will offer support to Zac as he settles back in too his playgroup. They wish him well. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites

"I think that’s not just the same with our strikers but we’re looking at other players at other clubs who we want as well. "There will be one or two available and it’s about getting value for money really." 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think so too, but then they have a new manager so he may wait to see if he is in his plans before signing a new deal Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,967 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) It’s quite obvious we as a club are following a predictable trend, or at least the media are. Talk is plentiful but actions and results in the transfer market are few and far between. Once again we near the end of another opportunity after being fed the daily bull @hi£ about selective targets, inquiry’s and offers only this time with a NW twist. This time it’s presented as though we are the tough guy with statements it’s up to him and his agent. While in reality why on earth would any respected player with a oz of ability want to sign a contract knowing we are running down many in the club. Why would you join knowing NW outcasts out of favour players. Join a club who may make the playoffs. The reality is we are being shunned by players and now in desperation and at the last minute looking at the numbers game, not quality. We are hoping to pick up players who want a pay check rather then social benefits. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

More nonsense. We've extended 6 contracts this season, and have discussed extending the remaining 3 first teamers who are out of contract in the summer.

TeaCider24 12,639 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It's also the PL managers preventing players signing, not the players themselves. Sanddancer: 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of very good Championship level players who are out of contract in the summer. Issac Mbenza Daniel Johnson Alex Pritchard Famara Diedhiou Alex Mowatt Junior Holiett Alan Browne Adam Reach Sammy Ameobi Barry Bannan Junior Stanislas Michael Morrison and from the Premiership there's a few realistic options such as Murphy, Grosicki and Lansbury. Dwight Gayle would be a dream but a promoted or relegated team will probably sign him. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,496 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 @RiversideRed some good players on thar list. Think Browne recently signed a new deal at PNE but Johnson always seems to get decent numbers for them. He a winger who plays off the right or that just where he playing today? Ameobi getting game time at Forest ahead of some decent players in Lolley and Knockaert. Defo take the former if he available. Alex Pritchard is a blast from past. Seriously hampered by injuries that lad. Link to post Share on other sites
