REDCAR Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 What I don't get is.... Fulham apparently interested as were Boro.... and maybe us.... you'd expect both of those to match the fee and wages, so surely if they wanted him that bad they would be better prospects than Birmingham.... so why Birmingham? Or have they both acquired better players and he's not actually that good? That's how I'm trying to accept the crap news of him not coming to us!

ram1964 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 If anybody else is coming to us this window I cant imagine it will be anyone of any note,under 30 and possibly not have full control of their bodily functions. Any major signings are long gone, Mel appears to have misplaced the cheque book. Stuck with a handful of players that no one else wants and any optimism i had for this season is rapidly diminishing.

Didn't realise we'd brought in centre-back Davies and defensive midfielder Huddlestone to be our creative playmakers. Oh fiddlesticks, what a mess................

He's agreed personal terms, and is now completing the last part of his medical. On sky sports transfer centre page Oh my days I'd rather stay at Brentford.

Woodypecker Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 'Arry at Brum moans and slates the players every week, saying he has to get a new lot. He's actually signed about 10 new players now, though! The QPR lot were a mish-mash a few years back, until 'Arry got help from McClaren (prior to Mac's first stint as Derby head coach when we nicked him off Rangers). Brum have money - but I don't think 'Arry can hack it any more. Rowett could sneak a useful player he knows from them, who is tired of Redknapp dissing them all! Having said that, Brum will probably come up on the rails and 'do a Huddersfield'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it ambition? Or is it just a lack of ideas. They've signed 12 players so far and barely let anyone go. That will be one heavy and expensive squad by the end of the window. Harry will be gone before Christmas and whoever comes in after will want his own players too. The squad gets fatter. Now where has that happened before?

Comrade 86 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Either we were never in the market which to my mind seems the most likely conclusion, or the salary demands of the player mean he is out of our reach. Or both! Clearly GR is not interested in signing the player and despite the fact I'd have loved to have seen him join the club I guess we hold our water, set tantrums aside and hope our glorious leader has got it right. Perhaps when Rush claimed FFP was fully in hand he was talking a bunch of bum biscuits which might also be quite possible. It's a shame but we move on.
