Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
I'm not much for speculating, but if there's one thing I'm sure of in my tiny little mind it's that Freedman is busting a gut to improve the squad.throwawayboltonian wrote:I really hope Dougie signs a centre half who can have a Dawson like effect, but he really doesn't seem set on signing one.
Whether it amounts to anything, time will tell. I have the image of that duck gliding serenely around the pond.

If the press is full of speculation and folk keep asking him questions, I guess he's bound to say summat.throwawayboltonian wrote:I just noticed that he's been a little quieter than when we were looking at Moritz, Spearing, Beckford and others.
I don't remember him saying much about his pursuit of Kamara.
Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
That's why I'm hoping he goes. He played OK before he got ill last year but it looks like further signings are dependent in large part on getting him and Mills off the wage bill.Prufrock wrote:If we could shift Ream Mills and Mears for Dawson and a cheapo one who could cover both full back spots we'd be laughing. Not sure it's doable though.

When does this window shut by the way?
Is it the end of August?

Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
Not sure about this releasing Mears and Mills thing. Where's our cover at right back? Rickets could double as full back but he's gone. Who gets that slot in case of injury? Is Joe Riley fit again?

Release one to sign one isn't it? So Dougie doesn't fancy Mills, gets shot and gets one in he does fancy.TANGODANCER wrote:Not sure about this releasing Mears and Mills thing.

Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
That's sounds terribly simple. Of course, in the real world we could end up with both or neither if the deals don't all work out as planned.

Indeed. I suspect it's a case of sort a deal out and a deal in before either is signed off.Lord Kangana wrote:That's sounds terribly simple. Of course, in the real world we could end up with both or neither if the deals don't all work out as planned.
As in I'm sure Andrews to Brighton was sorted to allow Spearing in but they waited to do the in before the out, so to speak.
All I mean is we don't have the luxury if improving the squad by adding further numbers to it. Or at least that seems to be the case.

Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
We've got that Hayden White chap for right back cover. If Mills isnt going to play feck him off.
Personally i could see a place for him with Baptiste at centre half. But doesnt look like Dougie agrees with me.

Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
I still don't think binning Mears off is a priority. I appreciate the one in, one out thing ... and he may be on good money, so that makes sense, but I just don't believe he's the anti-Christ of full-backs.
Mills just doesn't fit ... and if we are in with a sniff of Dawson, or a.n.other c-h then we do need to get shut.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

It's gone "quiet" since we binned off Nixon.
I don't mind Mears but you have to break a few eggs, etc.

We don't need 4 'first team' centre halves. We have Bolger as a youth back up and Baptiste can play there. I'd bin Mills or Ream off regardless of a signing. Waste of cash.

Not technically true DSB. You can buy Tetra Paks of liquid eggs these days.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:It's gone "quiet" since we binned off Nixon.

Anyway, I still maintain that if CH is such a priority (and I think the common consensus is that it is) then we may have to be prepared to sell an asset to get what we want. I think the points been made before that its easy to hypothetically rid yourself of all your unwanted players, but if you don't want them who else does? And what if they don't agree to the move?

Well from what I read, that's exactly what happened with Mears and a loan move to the uneducated, violent, racist c*nts of Millwall.Lord Kangana wrote: And what if they don't agree to the move?

Klasnic is a free agent again. Wouldn't mind if he halved his wages

He'll get a better offer than that elsewhere. And we can't afford his wages anyway.

We've just bought Beckford anyway.
