Id assume he must be older than University age by now. I met a very polite young lad briefly a few years ago who I was led to believe was Mrs. D's son. Not sure if it was the same person but if not again he'd be a similar sort of age as well. Certainly as at three or four years ago rumour on the grapevine was that they'd never sell and the intention was to pass the Club down through the generations etc etc. That might have changed with the advent of the Court case, their attitude to funding us certainly has.

Got away with one there, starting with completely the wrong line up. Now let's get some bloody money spent and back the manager. For the benefit of RF 99 Gueye is closing in fast on Gallagher's tally of 3 for the entire season. Lol.

Get a bloody striker on. Can't believe he's gone so negative at home against a side 16 points below us.

The proof of the pudding etc .....but yes pre-match I agree 100%. Don't play players out of their natural positions.

That's a shocking line up. Really negative. What a vote of confidence for Leonard.

Without wishing to jinx it it's been clear as a bell all day. So far.

Just come up on Sky Sports News that it is understood Hake will not consider any further talks with WBA after their pursuit of Wicky failed. He has interest from other Clubs across Europe. WBA "considering options" but "not expected" to pursue either John Eustace or Rob Edwards.

Grist to Howard's X feed though. Lol.

A poster on here mentioned those exact same names a bit earlier. Either he saw Howard's offering and posted or Howard saw his.

I'd say we need a massive improvement not just a marginal upgrade which is why I pose the question of whether he is the best we can do for that sort of fee.

Nixon inferring £1.75m will use up the entire budget? "Working on a few possibles" - Name them then!

If we have actually put an offer in for him it might be more or less a fait accompli. If however it's not that far along, or gets turned down, or is mere transfer window tittle tattle, I guess the question is "Can we do better for £1.75m? I honestly don't know, I don't have a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of every player in the world like a lot of you guys but it doesn't sound incredible value to me. Not sure either that "an improvement on what we've got" should be the sole benchmark either. That shouldn't be hard.

I know it isnt happening but In the light of recent sales and sell on fees, why "should" that not be realistic?

But if we move onto someone else, Chaddy will think he's so much better than Asante!

We need someone who knows where the back of the net is first and foremost or the season will fizzle out. Can't rely on clean sheets every week.

Oh OK, thanks. Sounds a better bet.

I don't know anything about Asante but he strikes me as someone who'll just be at best a run of the mill Championship player for the next few seasons rather than the "difference maker" we need this. I think I'd rather try and get someone exceptional in on loan out of the two.

Everyone seems unanimous on Aasgard but there's no suggestion whatsoever we're even interested I'm him is there?

Are you thinking of Roverfan 99?

Still left with the same basic problem though, who's going to put the ball in the net?

The suggestion is that we have actually submitted an offer to Coventry for £1.75m. Whether or not anything comes of this link that would tend to indicate the approximate budget for the main signing, "the striker". Doesn't look like we'll be spending much on a wide man then.

Wiki says he plays CF.

Based on one goal in 25?

Got a bad feeling about this game, we were in better form at the time of the original fixture and can't help thinking our lethargy in going after our transfer targets will cost us dearly.

Are we allowed to sign anyone from any other Club apart from Coventry?
