Not signing anyone would be a disaster

Our infrastructure is the worst in the league by a long way, most league 2 teams boast better facilities than us. I don't think you can blame the owners for prioritising this area over expensive big money signings. How much would a replacement like Miller have cost, £250K transfer fee and most likely lower wages than MT was on, given we need to spend about £3m+ on a training ground and £40m/50m at the UWE is that really going to break the bank? We lost Alan Gow and finished up in the Conference losing MT could have a similar effect if we don't get somebody in tonight. Alan Dam gow !!!!! Hahahaha and yes 250k will break the bank if you haven't got it.

To all those who think it's right we should just be happy with settling into life in league one and not worrying about making a challenge now for the championship. For weeks I've kept saying you can't pick and choose when you get promotion. When it's possible you have to go for it with everything you have. The sh** got Taylor because they are in the championship and therefore can pay him more. If we are ever going to be in a position to keep our best players then we have to get there as well. Not in two years or five years or any particular number of years. We f.ckingwell have to get there asap. Never mind consolidation, we have been shafted by them because they knew they could, and we say we're happy to doss around where we are. Well not me. If it's there we have to go for it, and even though it's now much harder, we have to replace him and still go for it. I will never settle for being second best to those bast.rds. Our infrastructure is the worst in the league by a long way, most league 2 teams boast better facilities than us. I don't think you can blame the owners for prioritising this area over expensive big money signings.

Surely if we we interested in Miller we'd have tabled a bid by now? We must have known Taylor was going yesterday so you'd have thought if we wanted Miller we wouldn't be leaving any bid this late in the day. It would take 4 hours to get from Dover to Bristol once a deal had been agreed and then he'd have to agree personal terms and pass a medical. Hard to see this being done by 11pm. Provided certain paperwork is submitted to the fa before the deadline a deal for a player can be completed after the 11 pm cut off. for example a deal for a player can be made today subject to a medical that happens tomorrow.

I think we all need Toppers take on this before this thread proceeds ? Same rumour I'd heard but I was told it was main man at the UWE meeting Mr A-Ql not his side kick who'd apparently dealt with all the negotiations up to now, if true, this really makes a mockery of what SH was saying last week about talks progressing well, as clearly only nobody really knows which way this meeting one will go when we're apparently millions apart. I'd also heard Mr Al-Q wasn't too pleased how this had been handled by Wael and wanted it sorted one way or the other, as the other poster says if a reasonable deal can't be agreed he's likely to put the club up for sale hence why there's no Plan B. I guess the timing is interesting as the contract on the training ground isn't due to be exchanged until the 3 Feb....... I can't see us making any big signings now in January until this issue is resolved one way or the other, I just hope we can hold onto MT. I think the club have been pretty crystal clear on there views to big signings, dc said as early as last week big money won't be spent on players wile were spending on infrastructure.

DC never discussed transfer fees , player contracts or injuries to the media for obvious reasons. The length of contracts are sometimes reported,moore,bodin,leadbitter 2 year deals Maybe but it's understandable why DC likes to keep quiet on certain details.

What difference knowing the fee would make to you? Im interested in football and all things rovers so its natural to me at least to be curious about a fee and a contract length. If we sell matty taylor for an undisclosed fee do you suppose nobody will be curious about how big the fee is? DC never discussed transfer fees , player contracts or injuries to the media for obvious reasons.

To be fair he can hardly discuss the fine details live on the radio. Told as much as he could , if the deal isn't done by august the uwe won't happen. If both parties are as keen as he says I can't see it not happening.

Went for £250k from Wimbledon in the summer, was highly rated there it seems. Lacks experience though obviously. Be interesting to see who starts of him and Partington tomorrow, you'd imagine Partington. Hopefully both

In view of the recent diabolical posts by certain people a quick reminder of the forum rules. 1] No negative threads or posts are permitted. 2] In the event of negative threads or posts the "positive only forum police" will attack you like a pack of hyenas. 3] Its obvious that if you are negative on here in any way you are in fact a city fan so do not post anyway. 4] Especially important to note is that no criticism of wael our amazing wonderful god like owner is not acceptable on here. 5]It does not matter how badly dc has managed the team this season he is our saviour and must not ever be questioned or the "positive only forum police" will attack you like a colony of soldier ants. 6] Although direct verbal abuse is not usually encouraged its perfectly acceptable if its one of those nasty negative posters. 7] Watch out for negative posters making seemingly articulate and well thought out threads or posts. Just remember they are still the enemy and the "positive only forum police" will attack these posters without mercy. thanks for reading josef stalin general secretary of the soviet union and gaschat moderator. Your biggest problem is that you don't really understand the concept of free speech. wile your completely free to express your views in any way you feel appropriate, nobody is actually obliged to listen to or agree with anything you say. They are even entitled to laugh at and ridicule you in any way they see fit, if you get hugely offended by this it's probably best to keep away from public forums.

Interestingly I think this is probably the first time Holloway has sent us a player on loan. Wonder if it's anything to do with the changing of the guard.

Did he come through our youth team? Thought we got him from Cardiff? Stayed loyal, or no one offered him a contract? Can you name the mistakes he's made why were shipping in so many gaols? Signed him when he was 16 and went through our youth system from there.
