We didn't!

The lad chose Schalke as I said he would less than an hour ago.

Everyone knows withdraw from a deal generally means someone has nipped in ahead of you and it's all about saving face. Not Chaddy though.

Think the more likely scenario is he was a plan B that is no longer needed...

Agreed. My guess is Liverpool have ok'd the Sepp deal along with Hyam.

Tells me they've been rebuffed on multiple targets if they've settled on him.

He will have been way down the list.

Disappointing signing on the face of it.

The only way this is anywhere close to acceptable is if he's happy to be a squad player. Many we've been linked with will want to play and I wouldn't want Wharton dropped. Plus we have to keep Phillips sweet so he signs up.

What a deadline day it’s going to be! 🥳
 

who is going to replace Brereton then? 
 

if we are looking at Coventry for players I would like Gyokeres 

another name worth looking at is Keinan Davis and also maybe Mark Harris who our head of recruitment know well. That would maybe include Luke Jephcott. 
 

it isn’t very inspiring. Not many strikers out there 

I'm pretty sure Keinan Davis went to Watford on loan. 

Awful news. RIP Lenny. Thoughts with his family.

Yep but for who?

Already signed for Forest 😞

It's a different kouyate that Burnley are after I think.  One from Metz.. Boubakar I think

Imagine if we go all Sheffield utd on the dingles. Steal van der berg and then swoop for kouyate. 😂😂

Watford and Sheffield utd  now want him according to a rather shit source.  Does Heckingbottom just look who we want then jump in. Bang average manager

Has Mowbrays cup collapso routine been rooted out of the club ?😅

Talking of Mowbray, and all the pro Mowbray brigade. Can't see many clubs knocking on his door to employ him. Reminds me of another ex manager of ours who I refuse to name

Wplves have signed a striker who can also play in wide position for £27m so that probably cools if not ends any interest in Brereton Diaz. 

So wolves and west ham out of the running probably. That leaves Leeds and the European clubs. I imagine the euro sides will wait till January and get him for free. 

Cornet having medical at West ham. Does this end Diaz interest??

If we're counting U23 players that have been released it's 16 out, 2 in. 

In addition you can count all the lads who have been given their first pro contracts too from our academy.

Seems a bit odd that Waggott would divulge the Styles information to you, though (no disrespect intended!).

Pretty sure Glenn heard it elsewhere and mentioned it to swag

Wouldn’t get your hopes up on Van Hecke coming back mate. 

I know pal. Need to erase all the comments on here and accept its a pipedream. 😕

So a couple of days ago I said quite adamantly that Van Hecke will not be coming back. Now you lot have got me believing. Damn you all if he doesn't rock up now 😕

I think styles going into last year of comtract so fee will reflect that

Can we expect Styles by the end of today?

Styles started his career at Burnley. Is the super supporter with an aversion to anything claret and blue aware of this?

I pointed it out a few days ago but I think he's blocked me anyway. Assuming we are on about the same person.

Who up top? Gally, Diaz & Markanday/Dolan?

Diaz won't be here

JRC is the one to loan out imo

Loan?? Personally I'd try and sell in the first instance. I would only loan out if his wages were paid in full by the other club and if not cancel his contract and get him off the books. He's only 'fit' for keeping physios busy.

Sharpe mentioned an interest in him last season.

I'd take him and Styles from Barnsley altho Styles fee may be a bit higher now he switched allegiance to Hungary and is playing international football.

Pretty sure Chaddy will tell you he's mentioned Styles and Brittan as ideal signings. Styles a strange one for him though considering he's an ex dingle.

John Parks replacement to be announced imminently, anyone any idea who it’s going to be? Hopefully whoever it is comes into the job with names for potential signings already drawn up or it could end up taking us even longer to get a few bodies through the door. 

Where you heard that mate. Can't find anything 

I see Ayala absence from the team photo is being explained as he wasn't training that session as they are managing him. I'll call bullshit on that one. Surely he could appear for the photo even if he wasn't training. Me thinks he won't be here by the time the transfer window closes. All this talk of only 6 signings required, literally we will need that just for the defence. 

We all know how it pans out when Chaddy jumps the gun and gets himself excited. He'll sign for Sheffield utd 🙁
