Lack of rumours - The rumour thread

Re: Lack of rumours

After all of the pre window talk, will anyone else be quite disappointed if there are no new faces in the team to face Leeds?

Not the rumours so much - they're just that, but the manager did seem to suggest that this was going to be a particularly busy window. I would have thought 10 days is ample time to finalize at least one deal...

That’s what I was thinking, didn’t click that it’s the 11th January already, the month is flying by already.

Things rarely happen quickly in January. Lot of posturing and hanging around for other deals to set the dominoes off.

May as well make it a week or fortnight long window and hurry everyone along.

Totally agree and I have said before the time to get excited is when "welshlad" starts posting as things will be close to being done 👍

Agreed very difficult for Managers and clubs as they can plan as much as they like, if the other club fails to get their player, then the whole chain breaks down, a bit like a house property chain.

We won't get every player we want and it won't all be Erol or Dalman's fault.

Following the success pf Goutas and Siopis, I think other clubs are starting to use Erol as a Turkish/Greek scout and seeing who he is after and then weighing up whether to jump in and try and steal the player, probably agents are doing the same.

I thought all transfers were agreed weeks in advance, and they only delay them until deadline day for the drama?

Looking at the BBC site there has been limited activity across all divisions and as someone said in an earlier post it is sometimes a domino effect when we are chasing a player the parent club needs to sort out replacements etc and I suspect agents make it messy as well

Showed he can finish, just didn't do much else.

Re: Lack of rumours

Was hoping we’d get Moore in before Leeds, going to be a struggle getting our usual 3 points without a decent striker…..thoughts brooks was nailed on too according to some….

So can I, there is a player there somewhere, might be difficult there though.

Brooks looks like he's off to Southampton or Leeds now (hopefully not until after the weekend if Leeds).
