Sooooooo getting to midday on "Transfer Thursday" and yet no real news yet!

Anyone got any news??

spwaverley4916 · Aug 4, 2011

It's raining !!!

CovInEssex · Aug 4, 2011

It is rather miserable. Twitter isnt being as helpful as I'd like either.

I'm guessing news at 2.30pm. What does everyone else think? It's gone quiet because it's happening people.

According to the Rotherham chairman, they're looking for £500,000 for ALF, so that makes it a bit clear we never even put a bid in for him!

agreed and i think it will be later 6-7

Well the Rotherham chairman Tony Stewart has stated Adam Le Fondre, could be available for as little as £500,000 but Coventry although thought to be interested haven't actually made an official offer to date!

If this is the cas he won't be signing today!

ScottShearerFanClub · Aug 4, 2011

You're actually expecting something?

Wow.

Paxman II · Aug 4, 2011

Sheffield Wed offered £200k that they don't have and it was turned down. Wed believe they need another £50k to get him but can't. They have no money, can't field a full team on Saturday with no number 7 or 11. They were beaten 14-0 last week in a friendly and Megson has his work cut out!
So you think we are having troubles?
Fact is IF we could bid above £250k then perhaps they will indeed release him. I imagine a bid of £350 would do it. The player steps up the league and would welcome the opportunity.
Doubt it will happen though.

Thought Mandaric had taken over at Wednesday? How come he's not pulling the chequebook out? He normally does!

Yeah we claimed we bid 500k and they wanted over a million didnt they? If so pointless lie to make especially now its come out hes on offer for 500k

SkyBlueScottie · Aug 4, 2011

The offal states there is a Press Conference....... snigger snigger snigger

grego_gee · Aug 4, 2011

@kg82 Who's sire are you on?

Macca · Aug 4, 2011

This is an interesting position for anybody who still holds delusions of grandeur about the City. We are all on red alert waiting for news, scouring the internet for anything about us signing a half million quid lower league player. How times have changed

kg82 · Aug 4, 2011

Ours! But I'm just wondering why Wednesday are struggling so much with Mandaric in charge?

Not revolution but devolution!!

Perryccfc · Aug 4, 2011

I spoke to a Rotherham fan last nite and he rekons he's coming to cov and that it'll be for around £350k with add ons. That's the general feeling up there apparently

They always held conferences the Thursday before matches last season, so I'm still not getting excited

Think that's why he's put snigger at the end mate!

andyboy81 · Aug 4, 2011

What I find annoying is the fact that if they miss out on signing LeFondre for 500k it would be a MASSIVE opportunity for the club to improve a little fan/board relations.

End of the day there has been large support for the LeFondre bid so bringing him in should make a lot of fans happy for what must be considered a low amount of cost when you think about the good it will do for the boards reputation! Also, at 500k, cant really see his value dropping (unless we loose him on a free!!) and only increasing as time goes on. So it HAS to be a winning situation all round.

On a side note (which I am sure has been mentioned before i started coming on here) - I really don't think the club have been given the credit they deserve in signing up Murphy for the season. I have a feeling he'll be better than Westwood over the next few years!

mattylad · Aug 4, 2011

hmmm lets wait and see, I only said I knew the meeting about investment was today so it could still be that they need Sisu to sign off on any fee for Lefondre and as stated in my other post McFadden needs to agree to a wage drop before anything will happen on that one. We still have three weeks of transfer window left so it does not have to happen today.

Yep thats right deals don't need to be rushed yet as there are Weeks till the window closes, but it would be nice to have reinforcements before Saturday

ccfcway · Aug 4, 2011

reinforcements implys that we actaully have players to put in the team...

As it stands at this moment, O'Donovan and Wilson are playing up front on saturday, and 2 academy kids will be in midfield, with an academy kid at right back !

Jutkiewicz said he was fit on his twitter page, keogh at play right back and Wood at centre back plus Baker and Bell are likely to be fit meaning no academy players.

Changeyourface · Aug 4, 2011

Do we even have 500k to spend?

Gray · Aug 4, 2011

i think we'll all be here on transfer deadline day going....any minute now any minute now we shall sign a player

skybluedan · Aug 4, 2011

mcfadden is going everton or blackburn cant believe ppl think he would take a huge drop to play for us hahaha what a load of shit

TheTruthMissPiggy · Aug 5, 2011

Find it hard to believe that Mcfadden is mental enough to see us as a promising prospect!
