There's a lot more falling through this transfer window for us than there was last season, not sure as to why.. perhaps Roly Poly is tightening the purse strings at the last moments. It's also kept a lot more in house seemingly, even a lot of the media are just pissing in the wind as to who we're interested in.Bubble said:
Response when asked that question ....ShortyWilson999 said:Why we even talking bout Downing?? If Boro want to waste their money on an overrated player that has never really done anything that's up to them. They could have bought better with the money in my opinion. Thought Cawley said we was signing a player about 3 days ago. No news yet then and who.

The only thing I read from that is that Cawley hasn't heard anything either way - and is just generally stating that nobody knows what is going on, positive or negative, with regards to transfers. Only that things are never straightforward. I dont think it means anything has fallen through.Bubble said:

Chris Parkes is still as busy this year as he is any other, and we've hardly signed anyone! People are just pissing in the wind, but i'm pretty certain we've approached a fair amount of players but somethings not quite happening.colin1961 said:ITT

We've been plenty busy. Signing three new players just doesn't happen on it's own.1

You blamed the current squad on Powell over on into the valley. Your opinion is null and void sir.

If Luzon says we need 4-5 players, we know that 3 are coming from Bournemouth so where are the other 2 coming from?10

But you've neglected to factor in that all important 3 letter word, cabbles.cabbles said:
they've just bought a Uruguayan forward from Espanyol for £2.8m, plus the £5m they paid for Downing. This is why we will be lucky to get mid table again with the current squad. That for me is the sort of money you have to spend to compete at the top end now.Covered End said:Gutted that we missed out on Stuart Downing. We could have done with a left sided player.
Downing has even taken a 50% pay cut.
He's accepted £35K per week to join Boro.
I'm not questioning our management, just pointing out that with Derby spending £4.75m on Ince and Boro spending £5m on Downing, plus wages......

The discussion was an attack on the owners , for which the point was made that they have had to wait to clear a lot of Powell players out who were on long contracts like Church, Wilson as no one wanted to pay for them ..... That were not good enoughWS_Addick said:colin1961 said:ITT

Point that as been proved by the fact we had to wait to run their contracts down ....11 -
I know, because I have been told. There have been some that have fallen through. Whether that is because of RD's strict rules on how much he will pay or otherwise, I don't know. But we have definitely missed out on some.colin1961 said:ITT

Although it obviously helps if you've got the cash to splash it's no guarantee of success as Derby have shown in recent years also Fulham spent double that on one player and flirted with relegation for much of last season. The likes of Burnley and Blackpool have proved in recent seasons that it is possible to get promoted without breaking the bank.cabbles said:

I agree. My point was more about how hard it is getting now.2 -

Sorry but can tell thats Photoshopped!!... No way does the grass look that green at the Valley at the moment, not bad that we've signed De Bruyne though, would have prefered someone better for £43m thoughCallumcafc said:

Of course. As someone else pointed out Burnley did it two seasons ago probably because of the team spirit and togetherness. But those sort of prices and wages just goes to show how much of an ask it will be. Particularly given the depth of the squad at the mo. Do I think you can buy your way out of the Championship, probably not, but I do expect those signings that Derby and Boro have made to make an impactFanny Fanackapan said:

A RUMOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I almost passed out from excitement. James Henry. Good winger. Ex-Millwall.

But I didn't think Roland signed championship experienced players ... In all seriousness I hope this comes off I'll be very happy with that.3

Suggested Fee ( Supposed to undisclosed)
This can't be true surely!
In all seriousness though he's a very good player at this level and destroyed us at the Valley last season.5 -
James Henry, Good English name.2
