OK, with 2-3 days to go and with the interim results just out does anybody expect to see any signings before our next game?

Simple question answer yes or no.

You see before Januray there was some saying of course we would spend and 6M was available, it was Doug's last stand (note the last stand has now been moved YET AGAIN to the next window).

We were such a small squad, smaller than those we were competing with. Even though they have strengthened yet further (menaing we are pushed farther behind) we have not spent at all.

They have found midfielders and strikers to improve their teams and we are unable to compete .

So yes there will still be signings and we'll have the last laugh.

Or no don't be silly thats us now until June.

Yes agreed. The donate thread has asked for volunteers would you like to offer your help?

How can they refuse?

Apparently we have no money and are unable to compete with Charlton etc.

If they refuse a donation, no matter how much, then they have refused help from the fans. AND THEY CANNOT DO THAT AND ESCAPE BAD PUBLICITY.

If (another bif IF) we follow this through and raise this money then they are backed into a corner.

Anybody going down on Wednesday to see Fulham?

Stick Ellis in goal. He's **** brilliant he is

Sorry to all you cricket fans but I find it the most boring sport on the planet to watch.

Boxing for me - but only when it a genuine big name contest that you know is gonna be a good match up.

Too many world "titles" flying about for me - much better when there was but 1 world champion for each weight - i copuld even tolerate three, but there's 6 or 7 now and it's becoming a joke.

Still, loved boxing during Nigel Benn's career - so many great exciting fights.

Plus the middleweight division during the 80s with Hearns, Hagler, leonard and Duran. Some quality fights there.

Yep spot on. The Barry Mcguigan fights were always something special.

I thought I heard something like that yes

Wouldn't take many sales to get into the charts and it may raise money for further action.

Anybody fancy writing a song? SUre we could get a radio station to play it...

Tom, you're probably right about the money thing, certainly its a theory I have supported in the past.

DOL did not slip up FFS.

Cole was never meant to be one of the main strikers IMO. DOL thought he was getting BT which would have left him with JPA, DV, BT with Cole and the Moore's as back up.

Besides which at the time there were loads on here saying that getting 2M for Crouch and replacing him with a free Cant Control was really good business.

FWIW, I think Cole is crap BTW but it's not a straight him or crouch question.

Your wish is my command!

No seriously, give us a choice

Give us a choice at least!

now 2 for Gary Kelly. The Leeds manager must be on site as well

1 vote for Gary Kelly? I see Doug Ellis has been on the site again

Anyone else noticed how the standard of debate is in direc correlation to the opening of a transfer window and equally matches our performance in said transfer market. I.E SHite

Glad Forsale isn't on this list as he has just had his loan cancelled

It looks remarkably like Steve Bruce as well

Alberto Tarantini

No. You were told that it was off topic, not that they were more than welcome.

Nah, DOL clearly reads this forum and saw that the majority didn't think it wise to buy Faye, so he withdrew. If we don't sign O'Brien either, I can't see any other possible reason

Other than Southampton wanting him :wink:

^^ not when it's the second time in two days and we maybe trying to attract other players.

Especially when we were told in the summer that Boro and Everton wouldn't be competing with us in the league.

IMO losing two players in two days to those clubs sends out a entirely the wrong message

^^^^ exactly wot JC said, although I do have the full transcript of the conversation here

Has to be save face
