Yeah, I guess that ties in with what I was told today. Wages seemingly the general problem. Or more so, the agents.

That's MR for you. Do you honestly believe that to be the case? There was a lot going on yesterday.

Agreed, we don't want players on long contracts who are not necessarily what we were looking for, having to make them fit just because we needed to fill a gap. I did ask the question of whether we may look at any free agents, no definitive answer but not scoffed at. I think it's more a case of...

Don't get me wrong, I have my opinions (on today especially). I just don't see the point in breeding negativity. There's a lot to be worked on. Let's hope for once, the break favours us.

I wish I could say more, but I respect the club want to move quietly. If people knew the type of players we are going for, it would probably change a lot of views on the matter. We're almost 2 years into a 5 year plan (probably a provocative statement today), it's going to take time to get the...

I can't, no. They're targets that will be carried to the next window. One came very close, wage structure proving difficult, I believe it fell through quite late on. I didn't know anything about the RB we had a bid rejected for. Also there was a loanee who picked up an injury and remained with...

It's been on cards all summer. I believe we've just been waiting for the interested parties to make a move. This weeks antics have just escalated the situation. We will have needed him off the books to make our own moves.

Yes obviously people are nervous. In an ideal world it wouldn't have come down to the last minute, but that's the business. Missed out on targets, but scouting and other options never stops flowing. If we want to be up there fighting for a spot then we have to move on those who are not...

Exactly. It's business at the end of the day, the short list would've been made end of last season. Who can we use to move on / make way for incomings. High earner. They'd hold on to him till January if there wasn't something in the pipeline.

As I said a while back, there is interest in Palmer, and to keep your eyes on the outgoings. As temperamental as Palmer is, it wouldn't be wise to let him go without having something ready to go. Wage structure is important, he'd be at the higher end of that.

Possibly the reason why a Wolves or Everton type club haven't come in for him? He wasn't able to showcase himself at all.

Honestly, I don't come on here too often, same with Twitter. So unless I went back through every page, then the answer is no. I take what I hear and usually just wait to see if they materialise, I don't look online at any rumours.

Cannot fathom what they've done with Hamer.

I'd be more than happy. A step up from both Eccles and Allen imo, no disrespect to either of them of course. If we want to play in the premier league, we need better.

Not the name I was told. However, it's the final week, things can change in a matter of hours, some deals don't materialise till last minute. That would be some signing. Not going to add any fuel to the fire, as I simply haven't heard his name mentioned.

Agreed. I know we are only 3 games in, but I just have this gut feeling it's going to be wide open this season. A few strange results already. None of the 'favourites' in any sort of stride yet, interested to see what teams look like come end of the window.

Burnley interesting for me this season. Initially thought they will run away with it. Now looks like there is some unrest there. Parker will do a good Job to make all these possible incomings gel quickly. Big test for their coaching staff.

My apologies. I read it as you were asking for names / positions, and calling me needy for not giving them out. Completely misread your comment.

I'm not missing your point, man. I said I hear what you're saying. That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. I'm an optimistic guy, I think its a good thing, that's my opinion.

I hear what you're saying. I don't personally believe we are lacking on the wing. Trust the process, let's see who's in and who's out at the end of the window.
