I think taking Danny Hollands on a THREE YEAR contract from a league rival should suggest we should take all musings from Powell and all budgetary concerns with a bucket of salt. The last time we were in a position to act so early in the transfer window we were in the Premier League. I think, and hope, there will be a surprising difference between what is said and what is done this summer.

Depends what your budgetary concerns were. We don't know how much the contract is for but what it indicates to me isn't that we have necessarily a lot of money but that we know we'll have at least the same amount of money next year and the year after. And after recent years that is a good thing in itself.

I was alluding to the hysteria on the Bromley Addicks post... it also indicates to me we're at least trying to build in the mid-term by ensuring we haven't got a key player revolving door every May

I agree on long term building although it's only one player.
But what Powell says here only confirms what he said at Bromley IMHO
I may be taking CPs illusion to TK Maxx a little to far but perhaps he meant somewhere you can get good value branded gear as opposed to cheap tat from Primark.
I admire Powell's honesty, but sometime I wish he applies a bit of spin. Comparing us to TKMaxx, while admittedly funny, isn't particularly inspiring, to be honest. And I've read the rest of the feature.
Actually TK Maxx is a nice analogy, not "upmarket" but can get some nice gear in there, some great bargains and some good value stuff, how many players have we signed from TK Maxx before- Kinsella springs to mind. Be more worried if he said Primark!
That could've been the reason why Oggy. If you've never been to Croydon, I beg all of you, please don't. I've seen things there that no man should have to see.
My wife (who is in marketing) tells me that the posher the area, the posher the Tacky Maxx. Therefore, according to her, the shops at Kew and Windsor are excellent and reflect their neighbourhoods purchasing power. Whilst the shops in South Norwood and Bermondsey aren't.
I used to live at Bromley Common - but 1984 was the last time I was in Croyden town centre, Hawksmoor. Back then it was just a scabbier version of Bromley's.
Never been back. Even throughout the exiled years at Portacabin Corner, it was avoided. Why, have I missed something?

You like a TK Maxx type.

Edit:lol just read Henry's post a couple above!
Shhhh Rothko. Shopping at Tacky Maxx is like masturbating, everybody does it but nobody owns up to it.
I don't by the way. Obviously.
No wonder you felt like weeping when you came out of there.

Lets hope Chrissie is shopping at the Kew branch.
