Given what they’ve done with Kelman and Ballard I think it would be a great move for us if we put a sell on in the dealBarnsley have reportedly made a significant bid for a No.9 with no name included. Only a few decent strikers up for grabs left for L1 clubs so could be KanuI struggle to believe no one is willing to gamble on a 21yr old with the 3rd most non pen goals last season in L2, and scored 6 L1 goals in 30 games with limited minutes when he was 193 -
Was going to say should be on the official site, not social media, but looks like it is there too. Obviously this "ongoing investment" is a bit different to a full on takeover, so either the Guardian have dropped the ball/jumped the gun on this one or there's a bit more to it than "just" new investment needed.TheSE7 said:
Great to see this kind of communication from Gavin to put our minds at ease. Sounds promising him saying we’re increasing spend on players to back that. Hopefully a few signings this week to back that up even further!
Pure speculation by me but I wonder if one or more of the consortia are having second thoughts or changed their minds so we end up owned by the same group but potentially different people?1 -

sam3110 said:So Bristol have looked at Dykes and Adebayo, and signed Tolaj and Ballard.
Seems they've decided the risk of a player not stepping up from League 1 is outweighed by them continuing that form and being a more saleable asset as well as firing them up the league.
When another club does it it's good business, when we do it it's because we're skint or no-one wants to sign for us.
No, when we do it, it's bad because it's Apter and Tanto.
I doubt a single poster on here would have complained had we signed Tolaj or Ballard.0 -

I was a bit surprised by the Guardian article yesterday evening but quite quickly I decided I couldn't be arsed to worry about it. Just physically couldn't make myself do the necessary panicking. Then pretty quickly Cawley's article came out to dampen it a bit and then Carter's statement. Now we've got people arguing over whether it's enough of a denial, whether the owners are evil, whatever, I couldn't give a shit anymore. I'm exhausted by modern football at that level. The big thing now will be the signings before the window closes. If we bring in a couple of quality additions in the right areas for a bit of money then that will have us looking a lot better ahead of what was always going to be a really difficult season. If we don't, or only bring in a dodgy loan or uninspiring permanent with an injury history then that will answer its own question. Other than that I just can't spool up the necessary outrage about our very quiet, very distant owners. I'm amazed any of you can anymore really.8

Yep. Instead of telling people to take a chill pill, the club need to sign a midfielder! That will calm everyone downgolfaddick said:

Nowhere does he say that the story is false, or even inaccurate. In fact Gavin doesn't really address the article at all.
Just more blurb about 5 year plan etc etc.0 -
Your left leg ?ElfsborgAddick said:stjohnshill said:
Not sure on those details. Do not believe the player is Dykes, Kamara, Chalobah or Holsgrove. Will post more if and when I get itPeaksAndValleys said:
I don't want to seem ungrateful but I can have an exact time please. Or just a ball park? Can't face another full day of refreshing twitter.stjohnshill said:How about a new signing to lift the mood……hearing another is pretty close
Am I safe if I start at 1.30pm? Cheeky half day of refreshing?
I would like to say that is good news, although given the overnight news it will be interesting on who comes in, and who goes out.3 -

As with any sale of a youngster, the most important bit is the sell on reallyNabySarr said:

More important when selling to a Championship PL club. If we sell him to many L1 clubs for example, they would likely struggle to turn down a £2-3M offer in future, so a 20% sell on is less valuable than the initial fee.1 -

I think the outrage is mixed between the uncertainty and the fact that the squad looks poor , pre season results and performances poor , etc etc .

They must be paying him a fortune because he’s totally championship quality. I’d be all over that to get him back.

I don't get why Wrexham renewed his contract only to loan him out.RC_CAFC said:

You’d imagine George wouldn’t be that keen on a league one loan at this point in his career. Looks like his time at Wrexham is over though.RC_CAFC said:

I mean its very possible that the way he left means its Dobson who would be the one "not all over it." That or Wednesday have made a really huge financial offering we can't match. Or indeed both.RC_CAFC said:

“Seeking new investment to progress” “channeling all our energy into driving the club forward”. Doesn’t sound like that means permanent sale, or making a quick profit and runninggolfaddick said:

Can't we hijack this? I think Dobbo would help us greatly this season.16

I would hope for better. Coventry and Doc were an upgrade on him from my perspective (others may disagree!). I would want a real upgrade on them to come in, not a rotation / squad optionMuttleyCAFC said:Can't we hijack this? I think Dobbo would help us greatly this season.12 -
No we have to wait until he's flown out to Serbia before we can do anythingMuttleyCAFC said:Can't we hijack this? I think Dobbo would help us greatly this season.2 -
I just get the ick when grown men refer to him as 'Dobbo' - so it's a no from me.21

Please post a video of yourself saying with a straight face that Docherty is better than Dobbo. I respect anyone’s opinion but I don’t believe you !Chrispy51 said:

WTF? Had we not signed Coady and persvered with Doc and Coventry as midfield pair, we would have been relegated. 100%.Chrispy51 said:
