    Philosophical question: at what point to doors stop being early? Is it a specific time or does it vary based on the event? How will we know when we're no longer early doors on this one?
    Doors may be opened early at any time of the day - depends when they were scheduled to be opened in the first place!
    Frustrating. Big decision for the lad, but two attempts to get this player now and currently appears he hasn't bought into our project on either occasion. 

    The only reason he did not join in Jan was because his agent demanding bigger slice of the transfer fee if Crewe who were the ones who cancelled the deal .. player was happy to join ….. like now think agent seen Blackburn get 15 mill today and just holding fire to see if any other offers come in .. if not he will sign for us .. but CAFC need to put a deadline down now we can’t be mucked about twice now by his agent … 
  • All Olly did was shoot down the idea he was joining on Friday, nothing more then that

    I can't wait for this window to be shut. I can't stand the daily disappointment. 
    Early windows then?
    This thread/forum would be greatly improved by most of the pant wetting, squealing, doom-peddlers defenestrating themselves.  The earlier the better but never too late - like new signings, ironically.

    Olly Groome, actually ITK, shutting down the Kirk rumour on Friday should be enough to tell us all it's not happening and it's time to move on  
    Adkins said we’re interested, shows how much groome knows
    To be honest I don't think Olly gets any news from the club now.

    I think we all know we were interested. Olly knows if we're actually signing the bloke or not.

    Putting two and two together it sounds as though the personal issue might be down to location.
    So Kirk has only just realised that Charlton is south of Crewe?

    I can only assume that Crewe accepted a bid from us only to be told by Kirk that he's not interested in moving south.
    Footballers' grasp of geography, the compass and all that is notoriously sketchy.  Remember Dale Stephens moved North from Charlton to Brighton 😂😆🤣

    My source wouldn’t know anything to do with a deal but always let’s me know on players being talked about by the squad or that have been to sparrows lane 
    Anyone else mentioned? Out of interest...
  • Ferryman said:
    The Henderson rumour seems more plausible. 
    Yeah, but I heard Sheff Utd has come in with a late bid. :smile:

    I think that was more to do with the rumour that it was an imminent signing on Friday

    What does 'early doors' mean?
    Early, near the start or beginning. Early; at a time before expected; sooner than usual.
    When English pubs closed in the afternoon, customers who were waiting or arrived soon after the pub re-opened in the evening were known as 'early doors'.

    I always associate that phrase with Big Ron!

    He shut it down on Friday, not it not happening at all. Cawley didn’t deny it which suggests we were working on it.

    Looks like things have changed since then with other clubs coming in for him.

    Hopefully it’s nothing more than an agent trying to get the best possible deal as we saw with Mullin.

    It worked though, right?

    arent wrexham paying £65,000 a week

    To make this even funnier, I’ve been told that Henderson could be gone aswell…
    I don’t think too many people will lose any sleep over that.

    I think he was first to use it in a football context - the origins go back to theatres opening doors much earlier than the scheduled start to allow those in the cheap seats to get the best spots.

    Yeah not saying it didn’t. I heard he’s on £96.7k a week after bonuses.

    If that is the case and it wasn’t us moving on, why are we finding it so hard to get deals over the line? Is it the current unusual transfer business of this summer, or something wrong with the way we do it?

    Didn't really see the point of Henderson. Harness as no2 to cover an injury during a game and an emergency loan goalkeeper in if necessary. Of course AMB may have a clause where he can be called back from Ross County should the need arise.

    I doubt such a clause will be allowed, only in January

    Don’t mind losing Henderson but depends on the reason. I know I’m probably totally wrong but from the outside things are starting to look a bit weird.
    A bit ? More than a bit.
    Were we actually after Henderson. I know it was rumoured he was training with the.club but so was Sims and that was as a favour to him.

    I was told a month or so ago, that TS has been a lot more savvy financially than he initially let on, in relation to contracts for players both first and 23s some of which are no longer with us...as you can appreciate players talk to one another

    I throught I read somewhere he was signing for a club back in Ireland … then he was suppose to be training with us which I sort of questioned if that was true

    I was told he was 100% there Thursday, think someone else was told Friday too. I believe he's still friendly with Jackson so entirely possible he was training to keep fit and he's had a call about a trial from elsewhere.

    What’s his problem. London has a better train network than Crewe despite being one of the busiest junctions in the UK

    "Savvy financially", a cute way of saying that the purse strings are being closely guarded, let's face it Thomas hasn't built his empire by being less than cautious regarding outgoings financially.
    Hopefully this doesn't all rebound too heavily and he is getting some well intentioned advice regarding the cost's involved in running a football club, don't get taken for a fool Thomas, but realise we have to compete or get left behind in this shite league.
