That *was* the January Window

Can you imagine the panic in the corridors of power at Ewood/Pune if Palace tried to do the same to us with Wharton? To quote Kevin Keegan "I'd luv it, absolutely luv it" if the deal fell through. But not if we were so desperate we accepted an even lower fee. -

If true you can only get away with that so many times then Clubs will refuse to deal with you. -

We'll put Alex on the case. He can update us in a few hours if he's safely tucked Mcguire's Mum up for the night. -

Also Venky's were originally prepared to fund that black hole and all budgeting would have been done on that basis. It's one thing planning to gradually reduce our financial dependence on them over a period of time and another totally to see all funding removed in one hit. -

Yep. Usual Nixon scenario "X set to move in shock deal!" "X's move still going to plan" "X's move off in sensational new twist!" Kerchiiing. -

Won't happen but at this point if Wharton came to his senses and backed out of the Palace deal, we offloaded Gallagher and brought in Mcguire at zero net cost I'd consider that a right result compared to what the window could have ended up as. If we could also offload Wahlstedt and bring in a capable keeper it would almost be "If Carlsberg did transfer windows" territory. Let Venky's sort out the finances separately. -

It's had vibes of the O Brien deal ever since it was announced given the logistical issues. -

You keep ignoring the fact that purchases are made on exactly the same basis over the life of the contract as well. -

We're very well stocked for cenre halves now. Just the odd five. Spending big money on another one would be ridiculous imo given the gaps in other areas. Still no decent striker, subject to whether the US lad comes in and hits the ground running, no pace on either flank, very light in central midfield after the departures of Travis and Wharton, no decent LB, questions over the keepers etc etc -

More to do with the finances possibly, Loan a couple now and if they're any good and restrictions are removed in summer buy then. If they're not removed we can send them back. -

What happened to Sibley? He looked the dog's danglers at one point. -

It'll be poor if Scott Wharton is dropped for a 37 Yr old. Hopefully he's just back up until Carter is available again. -

Does she fancy a job as DOF? -
Absolute rubbish. He'd have had an even more life changing move to a bigger Club if he'd hung fire slightly until summer. See the Venkys HMRC thread. It would appear he's been sold to keep the lights on until summer. Simple as that.

Looks like philli has nailed it very concisely on the Venkys HMRC thread. Assuming he is correct of course. -

OK feel free to take the piss if we have a stellar day tomorrow. I'm glad you think everything down at the Club is going so well -

Ah OK, if we're classing SS as a striker guess we'll be out of luck with Mcguire. He's made one good signing. The rest ranging from average at best down to downright shocking. -

Sarcasm aside he's not likely to be asking to be put alongside our top earners is he? Devil's advocate mode: Even if he was, should he be? -

I'm completely of the opposite view. Whatever we do we must not look a gift horse in the mouth and must accept £1.5m - £2m for Gallagher. I think we'd miss Dolan far more but even then, I suppose the pragmatic move would be to accept a fee for him. What a shambles of a Club we are when we can't even persuade Dolan to sign a new deal and it doesn't say a lot for GB's powers of negotiation. -

I doubt we'll be allowed to spend £12m but if we could we should be setting our sights a lot higher than that imo Who knows though Mcguire might do OK, if you keep signing strikers, you've surely got to get one right on the law of averages sooner or later.
