Poku going to QPR for 900k... 

 

Whilst we're scouring Europe for weird unproven players... Christ.

Would have happily signed him but you could also argue Poku is unproven at this level

[Wegerleswiggle]

Jon Russell from Barnsley latest name being mentioned. Cracking midfielder who knows where the back of the net is

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

That Poku who plays for the Dutch U-21 team looks to be a real player. The next Doku. If we had any real money we should have been over there with the cheque book. Magic beans won’t do the trick.

Add Randell to Bristol City for c£700k and Phillips to WBA for £1million and that's 3 very decent and proven players for £2.7million.

The players are out there but we simply aren't even prepared to modestly invest.

IMO, a totally useless feckin shambles with neither hope nor ambition.

We won't go to that price for Kapaudi.

 No chance, perchance?😉

Club will already be turning their attention to CB loans I bet.

Bet he's on more than £10k a week...

[Emerald Isle Rover]

Kapuadi was a non starter to begin with miles out of our finances regardless of how the deal is structured 

[Mercer]

Put a cheeky offer in this  morning for the missus' dream house.

Offered half the selling price up front with a 50% sell-on for profit over my offer price.

Not holding my breath!

As I've said many times over the years, it makes it look as though we're doing something.

I've also (only half )oked the MO of the recruitment department goes something like this:

1) Lodge a derisory bid/bids for one or more players early in the window which have no chance whatsoever of being accepted. Leak to the press we have several bids for players in. ( It seems now the identities of said non targets are also being leaked)

2) Pick fluff out of your navel for a month or so.

3) After a while leak another mini story saying we still have several active irons in the fire.

4) When we eventually get gazumped by a Club willing to meet the asking price leak a sob story about how we did our best but couldn't compete with the financial might of whichever Club it is.

5) Job done! Go back to picking fluff out of your navel until the next transfer window.

6) Take your begging bowl around premier league clubs for any lads still to be fixed up for a loan
