Bauer and Maddison

Darragh Macanthony said he’s never been an issue and great 99% of the time.

We could get Maddison for £1.25 million (£2.5 million over 2 years) and Bauer for probably £1 million. The McGinn link suggests we’ve got a few bob left to spend.

I’d get Bauer and Maddison with a target man on loan.

It’s now obvious Bauer is trying to force through a move. Let’s hope it goes the full Odemwingie. We love the drama at Rovers don’t we!

Do you think he’ll be a Rovers player by Thursday evening?

We’ve had 3 bids rejected for Bauer now. It’s constant back and forth according to Bowyer. The player wants to come to us.

That’s them relegated back to league 2 then. Did a great job there. Held the club together.

I agree those are the 3 positions I would bring in. However “at least one more” implies to me the club are trying to do 2 more permanent buys and 1 loan. But if 1 of those permanents doesn’t come off then we’ll do a loan with a view to buy. This leaves Sharpe in the dark a bit I suppose.

Sharpe said Armstrong was unlikely on thursday afternoon.........

Does anyone think Bauer isn’t staying at Charlton?

He’ll invent anything to fit his agenda.

Isn’t it strange how the people who shit on signings are also usually the first to say “oh well we’re going to lose him next summer” when proven wrong!

The lad hasn’t kicked a Championship football in blue and white and people are saying he isn’t good enough! Can we just give people a chance please.

That takes spending to £2.5 million. Wonder how much there is left. I wouldn’t blow all my budget on Armstrong if I was TM.

Exactly, under Coyle! We currently aren’t managed by Coyle thank the lord and so I’m going to wait to criticise TM when and if it becomes a recurring theme under his management. So far it hasn’t. We’ve actually come out on the good side of late goals during his tenure.

Here’s to hopefully a chaotic week on the ins front. What’s fascinating is that we really don’t know who the club are targeting but Waggott said he expected to shift 1500 season tickets so it better not be Clough, Beevers and Gallagher!

In the 15 games of the 16/17 season that TM had we scored 2 after 85 minutes and conceded 2!

I would say Armstrong plus 2 more this week then one more in the loan only window. That would be 7 overall with 5 permanent and 2 loans.

So I think we are going to see 3 in this week including Armstrong. Mowbray said last week that we might see a loan further on into August. Hopefully we can bring in Bauer, Maddison, Armstrong and then a big lump to stick up front on loan.

Last season we scored 8 goals from 85 minutes onwards. We conceded 5 from 85 minutes onwards. We come out on the favourable side more often than the opposition in terms of late goals and that is a fact! I read somewhere that 15% of goals come after 85 mins! It means that we are bound to concede some late goals as well as score some also.

Not surprised to see some on here moaning already about Armstrong, after a poster said “99% would approve”. What do some of you expect? £10 million striker signings? If not then apply for a scouting role down at brockhall and advise TM who to bring in. Time to put up or shut up.

If we’re offering cash upfront then he’ll be coming here over Preston.

Basically Sharpe has not denied that we are now in for Armstrong. As I said the other day, I couldn’t see anything being confirmed until Monday at the earliest. I think Nixon would only put his neck on the line like that if he was confident of not getting any egg on his face.
