Buchanan on his way … final talks and medical incoming?

[Longlostjack]

Being sold to Birmingham according to local media in Bremen. Though they added that it was not yet official.

Not ITK after all then

Shame.

We were linked to that Cox few weeks ago. But that's going quiet too. Did he join Hull?

Ah it happens phil, won’t be the first or last a deal doesn’t materialise mate.

All the journos had him down as our first choice aswell. Definitely close I reckon.

In Watson we trust, we move on. Lewis may be a more solid target as well given the NI connections. All is a little too quiet on the transfer front right now though..... maybe we are waiting for a piroe sale to sanction a bunch of deals? Will be interesting to see if he gets minutes tonight

Story of my life Phil - never have been .

Edit: Just realised you probably meant someone else.

 

[CurtessECarr]

Don't know anything about the lad.
So no idea really if we've missed out.

we'll know in a couple of weeks time, if he rips us a new one then questions need to be asked

 

[Longlostjack]

Ah well, some random Derby County supporter on twitter reckons he's the worst, most one footed left back they've ever had at the club. I'll take his word for it, it's better than getting worked up about it!

The left foot can be seen at 5:10 in the game vs Werder.

I think people are getting overly stressed about all this pre-season stuff. The defeats and manner of the defeats do concern me, but I expect at least Piroe, Grimes and one other key player (West or Ntcham) to leave. That should bring in roughly £20m. Maybe more.

Let's say we could have £10m ready to spend already, that's a huge budget. It wouldn't make sense aiming for lower level targets if we will be able to go for much better players in a few weeks.

It's all about setting deadlines (to players, agents and other clubs), being prepared for every eventuality and then executing the plan as and when things happen.

For the first time in a while, I'm actually quietly confident.

Seeing elsewhere that Duff's comments about needing 5 or 6 players was a "startling admission" made me laugh. It's not startling, unless your head is buried in the sand. We need 3 (at least) now. Probably 4 or 5 actually, if we want decent depth that a promotion chasing squad need. If Piroe, Grimes and Ntcham leave, we will need 6 or 7, in my opinion.

Let's not judge yet. Of course we can be concerned by the performances so far, but let's try to be patient and realise that the window's still open for over a month.

I'm far more focused on what the squad looks like on September 2nd than now.

 

[Nice to Michu]

Fee of 1.3m to Birmingham that's why we aren't on it

 

[guthrieintherain]

Is that a loan fee states on indie 4 million permanant deal.
