    Dubai vs Cawley round 2. 
    Round 3… 2-0 Dubai
    I believe cost of living in London is the hold up.. he agreed personal terms, then started to back track. It is 50/50 at the moment. But club are still confident 
    Hi is from harrow! Surely he knows how much things cost down here 
    Exactly! He knows his cash goes further where he is than down south.  Probably pushing his luck to squeeze a bit more; could backfire.

    Guy from Port Vale slightly held up. Still expected to go through 
    What’s the hold up mate?
    His information isn't up to date, waiting on Charlie to tell him it's off.
    Was Charlie methen around when Dubai said we would sign Alex gilbey
    No, but he is my best mate, and he messaged me to say we stole him from under Sunderland’s noses.. We are that close…..
    which player Dubai?

    Pointlessly antagonistic. 
    You can't peddle one second its still expected to go through at the same time it's reported to be off without expecting a brickbat or two. I expect he can take it 
    I'm sure he can but why say it in the first place? Cawley has got 2 transfer wrong now im Coventry and Ladapo so go give him some shit.

    Bit gutted about that to be honest but if we can use the money from CBT and the money we was gonna spend on Uche to now get a couple of wing backs I’d be happy.

    Think it's time to cut the new owners some slack. If all these rumoured signings come off, then it'll be one of the best transfer windows for a long long time.
    I agree with @DubaiCAFC that last summer, as we all know, TS was dragging the process out for his own gain! That left the new lot with little time to do much, and I agree what they did was crap! However, this is a new window, there are no excuses, it's all on AS and the board. So let's see what today brings, and indeed, the next 14 days. Whatever now transpires is down to AS, the board, and MA!
    If this is a start for making us properly competitive for next season then more power to them! Only time will now tell! 

    Mate we can’t cut them any slack we have constantly been told that they are all chancers who have come here to cash in on our academy reduce costs to achieve project breakeven !!

    oh wait they seem to have the willingness to spend money on decent players !!! 

    I wonder why the doomsayers haven’t popped up recently ???

    Ikpeazu is a non-scoring journeyman. We need somebody with more about them as reality is an upgrade on Chuks and Leaburn is required (due to their bodies/injuries).

    I’m getting very boring in my old age but I’m taking the approach of not trying to analyse too much until the window is closed. There’s too many moving parts and we need to see where we are once it’s all done. Certainly ripping it up though. 
    I was taking that approach but then I realised the worst damage we could have inflicted on us as fans would be the loss of Dobbo and CBT, two players who I had girded myself to the likelihood of them departing anyway. It’s so nice to see us at least attempting to build a competitive squad and so far, like you say, we are ripping it up 👍🏼

    I’m sure it’s been asked already but is Freddie the older brother of the Ladapo in our academy?

    Nope, he's his dad
    Funnily enough I played on the same team as my Dad once and kept forgetting to use his Christian name. Very embarrassing for the pair of us ☺️.

    Great signing.

    Hope we go for the perm in the summer, but if he smashes it for us surely it's likely a few championship clubs will come in for him. We've done some good business this window it's just a shame we're so far off pace

    I can’t be the only one who sees the Ikpeazu deal being pulled as a sign that JCH might still be a possibility?

    just starting to get some summer 2011 vibes about this window... maybe that's going a bit overboard but this is the first window since then where I am sitting here going - "yeah that's who you want to be getting" near enough every time a signing is announced.

    Mathematically we can, and we should try until we can't, why not?

    Maybe it was going to be Ladapo & Ikpe, with May as 10.
    Now Ladapo & May with Collins as 10.
    Just thinking aloud.

    We’d need a run like we had in 97/98. Will be an exciting few months if that’s what happens!

    I think we can still do it but maybe that’s me just trying to stretch out the hope of my quite large bet on us getting promoted from the pre season optimism 😂

    4 points separating the top 6 at this stage - they will all be taking points off each other going for autos - it's not like there's a couple or 3 teams running away with it. It's a huge ask but all we can do is start winning games. Things would look very different for us with 3 or 4 wins on the spin.

    That's clearly not the only mug in your house.😉
