basically anyone that John Van Swede Head says is crap, is fine by me

Have we frightened Wycombe Sky reporting they have dropped their price from£5.5 million to £3 million with add ons due to being in the last year of his contract

Leicester will probably get him as a few places have reported they are preparing a bid. If that is the case though then they seem to have overplayed their hand slightly by trying to drum up a bidding war.

A coincidence this report reaches the media immediately after we have publicly started looking at other targets?
I doubt it

Going back to our old ways it seems, with last minute or panic buys, though I appreciate that we have done some early business, so I’ll give the new owners the benefit of the doubt.
We’ve known all summer that we’re week in the striker department, why not get the business done early?
We’ll make a signing, and the next thing you know, the club are making a statement saying that it’ll take the player 10 games or so to get upto speed, fitness and adapting to how we play. That’ll be nearly 1/4 season gone.

It’s easy to get a bit down about it because we’ve had so many poor windows in recent years. In defence of the club, every man and his dog are looking for strikers. Even Ipswich haven’t been able to get one in yet and they can offer silly money on fees and wages.

I don’t think the window closing nearly a month after the season starts does anyone any favours.
