    Does the certainty in “he isn’t going to Reading” imply that he knows Kanu is going somewhere else and it’s done? 
    Very much so I’d say.

    From a source at Palace, I am told that both Charlton and Palace have agreed a deal for JRS and that JRS has also agreed terms with us.

    Apparently, everything is ready to go, but Palace are holding off in the hope that a bigger bid comes in. If no bid comes in by the end of transfer deadline day, he will be joining us.
    If that's the case, we should drop our interest, and look elsewhere, or risk being a man short.

    We shouldn't be held hostage by any club, for whatever player.
    Why do you hate JRS so much 
    I don't. I'd like us to sign him, but... I don't like the idea, that he only has to turn up at the door, and the good work done by others to get us in the position we are, gets kicked to the curb. Which us what everyone will be clamouring for. As seemingly everybody wants to have his babies.

    As I said, none of you know he's going to be better than what we already have. You basing it on a truly outstanding season he had for us. A few years ago. In League 1.
    It’s not just based off that though. He’s also played in the championship and done alright. Scored 7 in 35 games for Sheffield United which is better than any of our players have ever managed other than Grant quite a few years ago 
    And Carey and Kelman last season...

    So, four pages of Carey v Knibbs with a bit of JRC and JRS thrown in for good measure.
    Perhaps consider starting your own thread, where you can continue your never ending criticism of  CL members? We'll all know where it is so we won't have to accidentally start reading it?
    Wondered when you’d pipe up @covered_end surprised it took you so long.

    You’d better buck your ideas up, otherwise you’ll be demoted from the Thread Police.

    I swear too many people never pay attention to how things work. 

    Panicking because palace are holding out for the best deal, every club does this as much as possible. 

    Panicking because other clubs might be interesting, every transfer has multiple clubs interested at some point. 

    Panicking because it's not done yet, practically every transfer we hear about early seems to take longer than we think it should, maybe recognise the pattern. 

    From the various rumours, ITKs and journos, we're the front runner, and the layer is keen. Are other clubs going to be sniffing around, of course they are. Are palace gling to try and get the best deal they can, of course they are!

    If bold statements like "somebody else is interested, it's all over" were remotely true, then we'd never be able to sign a single player.

    Kanu is obviously leaving we need him to go to meet registration rules. The fact Cawley explicitly said he’s not going to Reading makes me think it’s a non starter because something else is lined up already. Wycombe and Plymouth still both need Number 9’s

    If we get JRS you'd hope the next few windows would be completely minimal changes required. Can just sign 1/2 players a window where strengthening is required rather than needing to sign 8 players each time. Incredibly exciting stuff!
    Do you think and extra one or two players 
    Would make us competitive in the Prem next season?

    Don’t post anymore on here these days, thankfully to some of the posters on here but
    I got shot down a bit, for generalising against some of the more pessimistic fans on here let’s say.

    But just wanted to make a point even further clear, that I think that it’s been completely embarrassing how some of you have acted on here over this summer transfer.

    Regardless of results in first 2 games, you haven’t backed the club, ridiculed the recruitment and panicked before the window has even shut or got going.

    Some will ultimately get their back up with this post and that’s fine but the posts on here over the summer from most have been laughable. A genuine lack of understanding how football clubs and systems work.

    Hats off to NJ and recruitment team because, again, the squad has been improved and we’re moving in a positive direction. 

    We should all feel lucky as to where we are now and where we were, not even 3 seasons ago.

    And yet it's been more level headed on here than ever before and better than I've seen everywhere else.

    The moaning that our business was slow was just ridiculous. We are pretty much the most ready team in the championship at the moment and have been ahead of most teams all summer. And we are hopefully about to benefit with 3 wins from our first 3 games against teams that have not done what we have in getting our business done early

    I sense a house buying analogy is not far away. 
    An average 3 bed semi in Plymouth is currently around £300-350,000
    @clb74 still thinks you can get a 5-bed detached down there for 50k
    TBH (to be honest  ;) ) thats's low, somewhere nice its around 400-450k
    Your turn to convince @clb74 that £50k barely buys you a single garage in Green Army land  :D
    There's this:

    fyi this is in Plymouths main red light area, and a lot of it's employees live in this street.
    What is the publication date for Eugene S Axe's Gentleman's Guide to Britain's Red Light Areas ?

    Yeah, I know...... how to put it delicately, p'raps not the most salubrious area of Plymouth, eh?

    I've lived in Cornwall for many years and am quite familiar with Union Street and it's environs.
    And no, I don't do business on the Street  :o

    DK is such a funny one really. All clubs love a home grown striker but I feel we would love a goalscoring one especially so. DK is a victim of our success. Were we league one he’d probably be ready to lead the line for us for years to come. 
    The L2 loan last season didn't help, as he scored enough goals to make his departure painful, but at too low a level to not be that relevant to where we are now, and where we want to be, as he doesn't have the physical attributes of Mbick (or youth on his side).

    If he had gone to Wimbledon last season, which might have happened if we had let him go earlier, we would have a better idea whether he is realistically a Championship player or not.

    Asiimwe's not entirely successful loan spell there I suspect has ended any chance of him playing for us in the Championship.
