    I can't wait for this window to be shut. I can't stand the daily disappointment.

    Putting two and two together it sounds as though the personal issue might be down to location.

    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. 
    They rejected our bid the first time, nothing to do with him

    Yeah I'd be surprised if he signs now , think he'll stay up north.

    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.

    Obviously nobody knows the finer details other than those directly involved, but if we are being dicked around then we should move on. We need players that want to play for us, that are hungry and buy into the vision etc. Not someone that is uhhmming and ahhhing and waiting for a better offer elsewhere.

    If that was the case would there have been any interest taken in coming south in the first place, it is all down to money and it seems what probably suits the bloody agent rather than the player.
    We have matched the asking price and I take it we have dealt with Kirk's side of things up to now, so as they say, the rest is out of our hands if the location turns out to be an insurmountable issue.

    I'd say it's definitely about money.

    If you're adamant you want to stay up North, that doesn't "delay" things, you just don't make the move.

    He's either waiting for more money elsewhere (Sheffield United) or using them to get a better offer from us (which I think is the most likely case).

    This is twice this has happened this year, I'd just call his bluff and walk away.

    Seems that way. Think we should move on from this lad. He's not signing for us anytime soon imo.

  • Sounds like we should move on now. We were messed around in January and it looks like the same is happening here.

    I'd substitute 'he' with 'his agent'. He buggered us around in January too.

    Has there been any serious source for him not signing for us?  Other than the fact it hasn't happened yet?

    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'.

    Someone mentioned we were in for an Aberdeen player? I reckon Matty Kennedy might be worth a punt - oh, and he wasn't in their squad on Saturday!

    Want the ITK posts to be true but not surprised at all if we’ve missed out. It’s the way this window has gone.

    If we don’t get the loans right we will be a bit short. We need 2 or 3 quality players plus depth.

    Very, very few people are actually ITK, they just like their 5 minutes of fame on here when they stir the pot with a bullshit statement and get everyone excited.

    I'm always amazed by the number of people who will bite at the smallest thing on Twitter.

    If he signs great, as it seems he'll be a good player for us, but if he doesn't because he doesn't want to move south, then actually, great, good for him and good for us not to have a player who can't settle in the south.

    We are the Crewe of the South given our strong train affiliations.
    This should give him some comfort re any geographical worries surely?

    We need 6-7 players imo - so if he doesn’t want to sign we need to move on
  • Sounds like we are all convincing ourselves that it ain't happening, so at least when the shite hits the fan, we don't get covered in it, what will be will be eh..

    Yeah, but he wanted to move further north.

    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

    Don't worry, Kirk will be joining us.

    Just in January on loan from Sheff U.

    The Henderson rumour seems more plausible.
