"A medical?" What's one of those? Lol.

Jackson's sort of trying to dress it up a bit there there by insinuating that the only reason the squad is weaker than before the window started is because of injuries. I think you can make out a very decent case that even disregarding injuries the squad is weaker than before. Forshaw is clearly a massive downgrade on Baker whereas I think it's arguable that Sanderson is much of an improvement on Mcfadzean. Given the chance we had at the start of the month, It's absolutely intolerable that our only two bits of activity this month have been reactive rather than proactive. Forshaw only came in as a result of Baker being unexpectedly recalled and Sanderson only came in because Mcfadzean wanted to find minutes elsewhere. To me there doesn't seem to have been any intention whatsoever to strengthen this month.

Duff's left peg or whatever he calls himself.

Lucky the play off positions go down to 6th then. And by definition therefore from what you say, that you don't actually have to be that good to finish 6th! Shame though that we're not even going to be good enough to manage that thanks to our shambolic owners and management.

Just to go back to this, nice attempt by the LT to try and credit the management with some intelligence or any semblance of a plan "keeping their cards close to their chest" etc but in reality the reason no-one has a clue what's going on is probably that we don't have many if any pre-determined targets but instead are just waiting to see who happens by chance to be made available on the cheap on deadline day. Edit: "Roll up roll up for the Rovers pick and dip lucky mix!"

It's pathetic isn't it, "hope", "would like", "several (crap) players". Fuck off Waggott and Pasha.

In true chaddy style you've contradicted yourself completely there.

You know what they say - there's lies damn lies and statistics. There's your proof.

It's not bizarre at all as Pears has been very good this season.

"We tried to get a striker in but the January window is very difficult. "We did all we could."

Deadline is Monday 3rd 11p.m. I think. Not that it makes any difference I don't suppose.

There's no indication they're going anywhere for the foreseeable so why on earth would you want that? That's the sort of thing you'd expect a Burnley fan to say.

Yep. We were clearly flagging quite badly before Christmas but kept ourselves in it just about with spirited wins over Boro and Portsmouth. For management and owners not to back them after that after working so hard to get into a decent position must be so demoralising for Eustace and the squad. They must be thinking "Why bother?'

Waggot claimed (Fans Forum minutes) that he was in the process of making a request for funding for the January window on 25/11. Unsubstantiated rumours since then that Suhail might have advised Waggott it would be a bad time to ask them so not to bother. Still 6 days or so of the window to go but so far the proof of the pudding etc etc

Spot on.

I'm guessing you don't know any differently. From memory It's not the first time that particular suggestion has been made and it wasn't him who made it originally.

Was it not you who posted the other day that we'd made an increased "take it or leave it" offer of 1m E expiring on Friday whereas they wanted 1.2m? Either way doesn't really look like it's happening, tyre kicking as usual.

SHOULD be well within our ballpark after all the recent sales shouldn't it? Sell SS for £9m, bring this guy in for '6m. That's how it'd work at a normal Club.

You're getting boring on Pears now. He's had a fairly good season overall.

You're contradicting yourself completely there.

OneEustace was completely wide of the mark with a major prediction in summer. (I think)

They're only supposed to provide a personal guarantee. Which seemingly they're not willing to do otherwise they would have discontinued the proceedings.

Do you think they know enough about Kargbo or are interested enough to go "Yeah go ahead, sign him if you want but only go up to £1m E , to be honest we don't think he's worth £1.2m" (Bearing in mind that according to most they don't even know when we're playing)

That was then and this is now. How much have they put in over the last couple of years as opposed to monies brought in.?

I bet it isn't the owners telling Waggott to put deals at risk and cut corners by haggling over a couple of hundred thousand Euros or so.
