    No shit storm

    I guarantee you that if we sign no one and we lose Saturday, there will be one almighty shit storm that will begin at the final whistle Saturday. 
    Yeah, even the Blindly Optimistic will become Bed Wetters.

    Only on social media.  Nothing in the real world.
    Henry, do you think if we don’t have a good deadline day that HE would come through Crossbars similar to MS? I’m not sure he would because of possible unhappy voices. I’d agree that a loss would see much of the unhappiness vented on social media rather than in the ground.

    Hate to say it  .. Brentford's style of football would suit him perfectly .. AND they have money to spend but won't waste it

    Is it a mystery? Seems pretty clear to me. We will sign a third rate attacking midfielder, a young loanee from the Premiership and an inferior replacement for Taylor if he goes.

    HEs instagram about flying to London was 10hrs ago meaning he’s now here. Most probably being shown around the training ground hence the “ring of security” in place
    Believe he landed into Terminal 3 at around 13:30 today.

    Tomorrow is big day for us, let’s hope they deliver.

    He might as well copy and paste that for tomorrow as well.

    So we literally have 11 hours at most to get the 5 signings Bowyer wants. 

    My predictions. Taylor goes to Brentford for a few mill, we fail to sign JCH and Maddison because 'players were asking for too much' we get the Norwich lad on loan. Southall says it's been a solid window and we were unlucky not to get our targets but only the price wasn't right. 

    Said it earlier on twitter and I have said it here before. Fault Roland all you want, Vetokele, JBG, Sarr, Bauer, Ben Haim, Bikey, Buyens etc wouldn't have been cheap wage and transfer fee wise. Unless something drastically changes tomorrow i.e. Taylor stays/extension, Maddison/JCH sign and we get a few decent loans I will firmly sit in the 'these lot are chancers camp'. 

    Piss poor even by our January standards

    I, for one, would be. I'm already dusting down the "LIAR" banner & starting to dig out the reserves of pigs & taxi's I kept by for a rainy day. Tomorrow I will start rehearsing my renditions of "booooooo"  & "rubbish".

    Not expecting anything tonight does not mean not close, we could have 3 lined up in the morning.....nah, my view has changed today! Not expecting anything tonight also means ‘or tomorrow’

    Maybe Tahnoon rocks up tomorrow morning with some bullion and gets the "marquee" deals done

    It really is now only about keeping Taylor. With our squad, we can cope with a normal midfield injury  attrition rate, but not without a cutting edge up front. Very simple. Southall could offer Taylor a big pay rise to stay until May, and whatever that would cost would still be worth it compared with any available alternative. Taylor would be motivated by the extra money and the knowledge he can leave in May. We would get the benefit of Taylor in the run in without a dubious longer term commitment.
    Taylor is under contract we don't have to offer him anything to stay until May.

  • Never mind people - we've still got Deadline Day to come, or as it's known in our club, Friday.

    Ah well, on a brighter note at least it's looking like Bowen is going West Ham and not Palace, he is quality

    We have to make him want to play, and not be "injured". If I were him I would be resentful I did not get my big payday last summer. Pay him now and get him firing, it is 5 months extra  pay max, money well spent and cheaper than a new signing..
  • Matt Southall has just tweeted about planning for a crazy next 29 hours.  That gives me hope of a few signings
  • If there was no money then on what basis did we allegedly approach Posh for Maddison? Clearly he was never going to be let go for peanuts so what the fuck has happened??

    Nope, that just means Tahnoon has got him on the carpet to give him the bollocking of a lifetime.
