So the pool of quality (ish) players like Lowery and Dempsey is being stalked by clubs with some money like us and it seems Shrewsbury and Blackpool and probably a few more Championship clubs. The risk at this point of our brinkmanship going spectacularly wrong must be very high. In fact we could easily get sucked into a last minute bidding war and end up with nothing. Never dull is it.4

I can't remember ever in my many decades of being a Cafc fan when there isn't a rumour of a club wanting or preparing a bid for any of our first team squad, in a window or when you could buy at any time ?
21st in League 1 may be the clue.3 -

Why couldn’t you let the speculation flourish until at least lunch time?
I am holding you personally responsible for all the crap that is posted until 1pm.
There. Smoke that!

Would be funny if this was the plan and Clare and Dobson are always signed us squad players/projects and come deadline day Tommy is making it rain with Lowery and Dempsey to complete centre Mid.8

The Cawley thing was on here yesterday. Of course "as things stand right now it is highly unlikely to happen", we made an offer that has been turned down and unless we up that offer then it remains "highly unlikely to happen".1

Trust me on this: If a forward came to Cafc and had some composure, when he saw the goal posts, he would be the first name on the team sheet If he took his opportunities from the bench. Stockley would still play but you adjust the team to create chances for the guy who can score. We should set up so both Stockley and this mystery player score.
The only reason Aneke started on the bench (1 goal every 100 minutes) was because of a potential health issue, which Bowyer knew about and was monitored by our medical staff. Birmingham gave him the green light and he passed his medical.
If we don't replace the Goals of Chuks, we will be mid table at best.

Sage said:£200k is a little low, but I don’t think it’s that low.
Let’s assume for arguments sake he’s on £2500 a week, Gillingham can’t pay high wages and that’s still good for a League One player, in my opinion.
He would be due to earn/cost Gillingham £120,000 between now and his contract finishing, including the extra month he gets if he doesn’t find a new club.
An offer of £250k could well be enough as we would be paying his contract off and giving them £130k on top.
They need the money, it’s the way football works, especially lower down the pyramid.

Has Rich Cawley put out any lines about what is likely to happen between now and Tuesday? ‘We’re expecting a busy few days’ type stuff or silence from the club?0

Whether they're top quality ones or the dregs that other clubs want shot of is the unknown0 -

If Ipswich, the usual example, think more players is the answer they might have to off load someone they have only just signed.1 -

But this assumes the club's that spend on A player don't come in as well, we're not competing with Ipswich etc. It's the Oxfords and Rotherhams who will add that one key player in 200-400k bracket that we need to worry about - as they'll be thinking the same as us.
And of course, championship clubs looking for a squad filler.

Just been told by The QPR fan, Charlton have enquired about Todd Kane on loan, now out of favour with QPR and training with their academy.0
