Reflecting on this thread, I can't help but remember that a while ago a lot of people were saying the club's future was all about players like Tufan, Sinik, Traore, Pelkas and the likes of Slater, Docherty, Smith were all GM signings who weren't good enough for this division. 2 months is a long time in football.
You're telling people to only post when things are confirmed, That's not an opinion, that's a command.
Not to mention that Tan is closer to the deal than Nixon or any other journo - he wouldn't be divulging what he did yesterday without being fairly confident it's imminent.
In fairness, Slater was one of Acun's first signings, as was Longman, easy to forget Acun signed off on their purchases in January.
It wouldn't, I'll grant you that but it would be unusual at this late stage - especially. If he's saying before the weekend.
Tan did end his comments with a caveat though. If QPR are in for him, it would surely be tempting for him to stay in London. Hopefully he's ours though.
I'd still say similar. Slater, Doc, Smith did the business against (bottom of the table) Wigan, but if we are serious about promotion we need much better. They wouldn't get into the starting line up of any top CCC side. They also wouldn't have got any where near starting in our previous promotion sides. It might not be Tufan, Sinik, Pelkas (can't comment yet on Traore) for the future for us, but that's the sort of quality we need for promotion.
QPR have always been interested, it's not a new approach. Unless something major changes, he should be with us tomorrow. But untill it's official, things can always change
we got promoted with jay simpson, george boyd, nick proschwitz next we'll be saying we need pele to finish top half
I still don’t think Smith is, but having seen him last night, he looks a different player under Rosenior, as do Slater and Figuereido. I did say before Xmas that Smith would be sticking around and I stand by that, I don’t think he will leave.
