Aaron-Bcfc Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Owen Garvan has joined Colchester. If my memory serves me right he was quite a tidy little CM. Surprised he's dropped down 2 leagues. Wouldn't of minded him here. Although I see he was on loan at Bolton for part last season, not sure how he got on though. Not sure about 'little' at 6 foot, but yeah he's a good signing for Colchester, not sure I'd have wanted him here though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Alright chaps, Swindon fan here awaiting abuse. Been told your after and close to signing Louis Thompson, who you may know is at Norwich after signing for them last January. Pains me to say it but would be a cracking signing for you. Cracking player. Saw one of your games last season, think it was away to Coventry? and he was outstanding on the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireSection Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Do we think that we may bring in a few shock, high profile signings, a few potential stars from the lower league, or absolutely nobody at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepUpLino Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Do we think that we may bring in a few shock, high profile signings, a few potential stars from the lower league, or absolutely nobody at all? I've got a feeling we're all gonna be massively underwhelmed when everyone was expecting us to spend 10-15 million.. Like I said in an another thread, any one can make bids of 6-10 million full well knowing the player their trying to sign isn't going to accept our offer..

Nogbad the Bad Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Do we think that we may bring in a few shock, high profile signings, a few potential stars from the lower league, or absolutely nobody at all? If the reported 300k bid for Dack was true I'd expect City to complete that move by upping our bid. If we really actually want him I'd expect us to meet Gills. half way and end up paying about 600k.. Albert looks like it's not going to happen. Bradshaw, well, Cotts. was at the Walsall game, so who knows? Think we're looking at lower league signings now, plus a couple of young loanees. Really can't see any big surprises now apart from maybe from the foreign market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Bussmann, the French defender we were linked with, is signing for Mainz in the Bundesliga today according to the French journalist who broke the story.

So you think the club didn't actually want to sign Gayle or Grey and just did it for show? I'm sorry but there's cynical and then there's just being a bit crazy.

I'm sorry but there's cynical and then there's just being a bit crazy. I suspect that the club were making a statement of intent to appease the footballing world, the statement being that, if we wanted to we could sign these players we had the financial clout to do so, but behind closed doors the wages were always going to be an issue . . . . . everyone loves a good conspiricy theory . . . . .

I'm sorry I just don't buy it. I think that we knew we could get in the ball park in terms of wages but when it came down to it, both players had good reasons why they opted against us. There's still a bit of me that thinks/hopes Gayle will change his mind tho has already been stated Cotts probably won't go back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying our first offer for Dack would also have been our final one? Cotts. said he'd be continuing to try to get players in until the last minute so far too early to rule out any more permanent signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED4LIFE Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I see Fernando Forestieri has been turned down by Leeds chairman for not being "mentally right". Not exactly sure what he means by that. Would he be someone that we would be interested in? Not ITK at all, but has scored goals at this level before and wouldn't cost silly money. Thoughts?
