We desperately needed another centre half so adding Gibson is an excellent bit of business. You would hope we have alternatives to Rodriguez and Clucas, if not then undoubtedly a poor window.

I’d said all along that we’d play brinkmanship with Jay then get to the last day of the window and somebody else would come in for him. Should have paid the asking price on this given how much he wanted to come.

********.
Really wanted Jay. Maybe it is a bit of old fashioned romanticism, but who cares... I’m a football fan, we don’t always think logically.
20 mill for a striker who will probably have left little resale value is a lot though.

I don't think you are allowed any loans in the Premier League after the window shuts
So even loans will have to be sorted by Thursday

With another potential 10-15 games to cope with from last season, losing a few squad players and only adding one would be seen as a bit of a disaster I think.
I’m confident we’ll bring another two or three in though starting with Hart.

Nah, we'll be fine. It's nowhere near a disaster. And don't start this 'replacement' thing again, Keane left yonks ago.

How can it be a disaster that we now have one of the best defences and set of goalkeepers in the Prem?

So the deal “could be off” due something cropping up on his medical.
What the **** is everyones problem then? You want the club to go ahead and sign him anyway?

The issues is that having so few targets is that it makes going for a replacement difficult, especially given we do our deals in the last throws of the window.
We will see though.

Maybe other teams being in the picture for Rodriguez will focus the club’s mind a little.

We lose out on our 1st target but sign the 2nd. “This clubs a joke, cant sign our first target, disastrous”

Jay is that desperate to come he wants double the wage of any other player.
Not surprised though, being a fan counts for nothing when it's your job. Very few on here would accept less money to work for the club than they are getting already. Doesn't stop you being a super fan, just putting family first.

Re: ARTICLE: Clucas and Rodriguez signings beginning to look less likely
Even if other clubs offer more than us for Jay, that doesn't mean he will want to go there, from what I've heard he wants to come here and therefore it's either us or he stays put.
It's just a matter of matching other clubs offers.

Re: ARTICLE: Clucas and Rodriguez signings beginning to look less likely
That's not what SD thinks. He recently said that having only 3 recognised central defenders last season was "tricky".Nah, we'll be fine. It's nowhere near a disaster. And don't start this 'replacement' thing again, Keane left yonks ago. It doesn't have to be one in, one out going back to 1882.
A blind man on a galloping horse can see that and it was a big risk that luckily we got away with.
It's surprising tbh because SD did the same thing when he got us promoted the first time by not adding to the midfield depth which we were crying out for, resulting in relegation because of no back up when Marney got injured!

Re: ARTICLE: Clucas and Rodriguez signings beginning to look less likely
If the rumours about Mee are correct and he's close to signing a new deal then we're done from defensive viewpoint. Same with GK's if Hart signs in today.
We're still lacking another midfielder and a number 10 / winger but they could still happen. There's plenty of time to get a couple of deals over the line. Brentford wouldn't be a bad place to start - Woods and Watkins would be more than welcome.
For all the moaning from the many, I still believe the club knows exactly what it's doing. We had Mawson over the line by all accounts, then it fell through and we sorted Gibson ASAP. Pope's injury has blindsided us a little as I don't think a GK was part of the plan but we've dealt with that quickly. We've tried with Jay Rod but rightly won't pay silly money for him. It'll all come together over the next few days.

Re: ARTICLE: Clucas and Rodriguez signings beginning to look less likely
To end up going into this season with only 7 senior players to fill what is regularly 5 midfield berths, with 2 of those 7 struggling to recover from lengthy injury lay offs, would be negligent.
As was ending up in a situation where we only had 3 centre backs last season. The fact that the risk nrver materialised doesn't change that fact. If youre driving a car whilst wearing a blindfold, the fact you escape without incident doesnt change the fact its a reckless thing to do.
Gibson is an excellent signing. But it doesn't chamge the fact that, once again, we're at serious risk of ending up failing to land key targets and in the case of Rodriguez that appears to be after we've spent 2 months messing around without taking the initiative to get a deal done.
Work to be done this week.

Re: ARTICLE: Clucas and Rodriguez signings beginning to look less likely
Whilst I don’t disagree with your post, wasn’t it reported that Dyche was happy with Taylor as cover for left-sided centre half? Sounds less than ideal but we’ve not seen him play there so it’s not possible to judge.claretspice wrote:To end up going into this season with only 7 senior players to fill what is regularly 5 midfield berths, with 2 of those 7 struggling to recover from lengthy injury lay offs, would be negligent.
