Hawkinsfootballboots Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Long time reader of this forum, 2nd time posting so be gentle..... I really can't get my head around needing another keeper, especally Butland.....something has got to be going on with Kirland for this to surface. Stoke will not let him leave to sit on a bench, they will want game time. I'm currently deployed in the Middle East so apart from the Leeds game on Sky, I have not seen them play this year, but every report has Kirkland playing out of his skin. Kirkland is playing really well without competition for his place, why upset the apple cart? As just about every post on this site says, we need a striker....we really need a striker, but apart from Sharp, who I don't think will ever sign for us, we have not really been linked with any. The current transfer poilcy at the club really is starting to baffle me. Edited September 10, 2013 by Hawkinsfootballboots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oz_owl Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 We're skint, we can't afford to buy our own half decent players. Therefore we have to borrow some decent ones, paying hardly any wages for them and hope we stay up. It's just a waiting game for us now, waiting for a takeover. That's not right though, is it. We're investing in developing young players in a way we haven't done for many years. So the long term goal is to focus on that whilst gradually turning over the first team squad whilst we consolidate and move up the league. That's not a waiting game for a takeover, it's a long term strategy. And anything above 18th this season is progress for us and evidence that the strategy is working. Whether that's quick enough for the majority of fans is a different question.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddogbob Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I imagine Thursday/Friday before we see anyone. Trying to save a few days wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzieowl Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Would have thought any signings should have been sorted and ready for announcements today. Let them settle in for Saturday. But no it's not the Wednesday way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Old Salt Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Always makes sense to get rid of your best player at this stage of the season. When I think about our transfer policy over the last 18 month, this man springs to mind..... Hahahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockyowl Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I don't get the supposed Butland deal, this was mentioned a few weeks ago and before Chris's back went into spasm on the Thursday before the Boro game. Jones had mentioned the week before about bringing in an experienced keeper to keep CK on his toes, doesn't add up to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUMBELOWS91 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I imagine Thursday/Friday before we see anyone. Trying to save a few days wages. Exactly- may as well leave it until the last minute - might be that another game falls within the loan period (either this one, or possibly the next if the loan is extended) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Would have thought any signings should have been sorted and ready for announcements today. Let them settle in for Saturday. But no it's not the Wednesday way Maybe deals have been sorted but they leave it later in the week so that the clock doesn't start ticking on the loan period until it really has to. Only 90 odd days max isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinner Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Exactly- may as well leave it until the last minute - might be that another game falls within the loan period (either this one, or possibly the next if the loan is extended) Yep, 93 days from 12 September takes us to Saturday 14 December - when we're away at Watford so will need all the help we can get.

BIG D Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 I would imagine/hope that any loan players would be training with us before Friday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 We got ourselves in this pickle last season, 93 day loans take you through until the middle of December and then you have to deal with the busy Christmas period with a threadbare squad. Still I'd rather get the points sooner rather than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
