Boomtown owl Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Can we please just get this done? I'm getting more and more nervous the closer we get to saturday. ^^^^^^^^^^^ This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euse Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'm remaining positive. I refuse to believe we'll be beaten to the signature of ALF by smeggin Coventry City ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stereophonics Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Burnley are apparently on the verge of signing Aaron Gunnasson for 1.5 million I believe. So the rumour down here. I hope that doesn't give Coventry that extra bit of cash to spend! Obviously its only a rumour though. That would serve us right for messing around and waiting til the last minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Better get used to competing for every player against other clubs. That's what happens when you leave it late and your targets become known. I suspect ALF will find us more attractive than Coventry though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect ALF will find us more attractive than Coventry though. All he'll have to do is imagine playing at the Ricoh Arena. I know Hillsborough needs a fresh lick of paint and is half empty at best of times, but 'The Sky Blues' have a seriously awful ground (& fans) IMO.

That's what happens when you leave it late and your targets become known. I suspect ALF will find us more attractive than Coventry though. Not just that. We're now fishing in a market where we're after in demand and wanted players, something we haven't being used to for the last ten years (apart from the odd deal like Bougherra). It's pleasing that we're after players that have other interest, although frustrating that we can't complete some of the deals. But that's football and it happens to all teams in all leagues. We'll get used to it. Edited August 2, 2011 by BRADDAZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Can't see how Cov could pay any sort of fee. You'd think that we would have the edge (finance and location), but I ain't getting too confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happens when you leave it late and your targets become known. I suspect ALF will find us more attractive than Coventry though. I agree with the gist if this, but not the specifics. We haven't intentionally left it late to sign people - it's the nature of the game when you are signing players who rated not just by their clubs, but by lots of other clubs ad well. For years we have been shopping in the very bottom end of the Market for players cast off by their clubs, and who people didn't want. Easy to sign those sort of players- they don't have options. Players like Ogrady, Le Fondre, Mellor are highly thought of, and as a result will have many suitors. Agents will always tell players to exercise caution and wait til every club has shown it's hand, so to speak- that way they can be sure to get the best deal. I honestly think that people on here and Wednesdayites in general are getting their knickers in a twist about not having finalised re squad simply because they are not used to targetting players that are "on the way up" on their careers.

striker Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'd be more concerned if other teams were not interested in our targets. It would be nice if we could actually sign someone though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scott_andrew_william Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 flip me - who's he signed for? ffs Well Coventry are going to put a bid in, then half of the championship will follow. So Rotherham won't be in to much of a hurry to sell him too us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
