Terry Butcher made a point on the Danny Baker show this morning that the Premier clubs won't release players for loans until mid August as their season starts later

What a fucking shambles of a football club we are. I'd have big money on RS being gone by the end of September . Why would he want to work at this circus. He knows he's had a mare coming here, only gonna be worse when we're third bottom after 6 games
The rumour comes from ITTV, where reams is saying pearce was rumoured to be at the training ground all week and COULD be at the valley today. Have to question why he was there all week and took all week to agree to anything

Waiting for other offers?
Considering the start of the week up till Wednesday , Wigan hadn't received a bid from us (according to Gary Caldwell)- Id be surprised that a deal is near if there even is one! He gave up championship status to join Wigan and after a good season, it would be hard to see him doing it again to join us!
I suspect it's a number of factors, including a lack of planning, uncertainty about the budget and reputational issues. Primarily, however, it is likely to be Roland's reluctance to pay the 'going rate' for English players, both in terms of transfer fees (where applicable) and wages.

Well something is wrong with the recruitment process but weren't we led to believe that when we signed Novak that we were willing to pay more wages than Millwall and a couple of other clubs ?
Anyone have the feeling Slade is playing some brinkmanship here? No factual basis for this but I get the impression he has his targets, KM has refused them and is trying to get him to sign a load of crap/network players and he's having none of it. If so is a dangerous game to play but if it works would no doubt end up being in a lot stronger position.
Who knows but, whilst we got those three early signings over the line, Roland's appetite to go any further seems to have significantly diminished. At present, it looks very much like he is reverting to his habitual 'sticking plaster' approach.
Perhaps he is waiting for any sales of Lookman and Tex before reassessing the position.

Maybe somebody (Wilder/ Belgian Laptop Jockeys/other) had convinced them that the 3 forwards were all that was required. Now Slade is trying to make them face up to the new reality?

(Being on thread this pre season transfer rumours is an acheivement)
Off thread and totally incorrect, even an achievement for this thread
