Think this is the most likely scenario. Either Broughton & co went rogue and negotiated the deal without the prior approval from India, which never came, or they were told that the deal could be negotiated but the final approval from India didn’t arrive before the deadline (either because of incompetence or a last minute change of mind).

Someone fed Andy Bayes the line that the reason the McGuire deal fell through initially was because of an issue with the Wharton deal, most of us knew this was nonsense at the time and we’ve since found out that the actual reason was that the owners pulled the funding. This suggests that there is someone inside the club who’s covering Venky’s arse.

Anyone who actually believes this was a genuine administrative error is naive at best.

This suggests Garrett is a shoe in to play the full 90, which is simply not good enough at this level. We desperately needed first 11 quality players.

Fleck hasn’t started a game all season, played 89 minutes in total, how anyone can say he’s a genuine Wharton replacement with a straight face is beyond me. McFadzean hasn’t even played a single game since early November. McGuire is in the middle of his preseason. Don’t even get me started on the Liverpool kid. I’m not even particularly bothered about ‘the model’ that Greg’s been banging on about at this point, which these signings completely go against, we needed players who could make an immediate impact. SHITE.

Disagree, think he’s handicapped here as he’s playing with players way below his level. He’s the type of player who needs to be playing with other players on his wavelength. Honestly don’t think he’ll be uncomfortable at any level even now.

Getting into semantics but by any definition he’s currently a millionaire, after tax. Obviously moving to Palace will be attractive financially but I think moving in the summer will be just as attractive and he’s not exactly skint now. All I’m saying is that the financial pressure to move right now is probably overstated.

His current contract is worth more than £1m

He’s already a millionaire, comfortably.

Palace signed a 19 year old from Brazil in the summer for £20m who played 20 odd times over there and has only made 6 appearances for them this season, if I was Broughton I’d be telling them to stop insulting us.

I’d be shocked if we weren’t the slowest team too, probably by a distance. Tough to compete in one of the more physical leagues in the world with the smallest, weakest, slowest team.

Someone posted in the Huddersfield thread that he spoke to Buckley and he said he’s out for about 40 days, hopefully that’s true.

Or he’s just shit?

Saddos

Garrett is poor and was only in the team to give Travis a kick up the backside, Morton is poor and Wharton is out in the cold. Strongly disagree with this comment.

Just a nonsense point. Lack of signings make people angry, poor signings make people angry. That’s not contradictory. FYI I’m talking generally here, not about Thomas specifically.

Morton and Garrett are you taking the piss?

Improve or get out, I’d be running out of patience quickly.

Dack for Travis as soon as Buckley went off, and I mean as soon as. At that point we still had something to defend.

That’s not the definition of excessive force JB. Excessive means more than necessary, force means strength or energy. Buckley did not throw that ball with excessive force. Although he did give an incompetent officiating team a decision to make, which was stupid.

The manager got it badly wrong after Buckley got sent off. Travis should have been on the pitch straight away at 1-1, instead he inexplicably waited until we went 2-1 down to make the change. Also Garrett should be nowhere near Championship football, you can have all the passion in the world but the fact is that if you’re not good enough, you’re not good enough. There will be one weekend very soon where we’ll drop like a stone to our rightful place in the bottom half. If I were Broughton I’d be having serious words with the manager today.

What are you on about? Even if this bs is true (it’s not), why would Adam need to ‘grow up’?

What do you get for winning the no parachute payment trophy?

This is usually accurate and it doesn’t look like any international channels will be showing the game https://m.livesoccertv.com/match/4447548/west-ham-united-vs-blackburn-rovers/. Doubt there will be any streams if this is the case.
