End of the window usually means clubs have played a couple games have ideas of desired squads some players decide they want to leave etc The club won’t have been waiting for that I guarentee but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen
Can you see that happening for a striker who needs to come here and be the main man though, that's the thing
yes, if they know where they stand with their current club and have a chance to be the leading man they will jump at the chance, take B£nt...
Very fair point that. There is no way he has turned down the chance to be top dog here to be sent out on loan by Cardiff. Something isn't adding up.
I've already seen people calling for KLD to sell up on the back of this 'news'. Saying it's obviously down to penny pinching in wages and he's pocketing the Clarke money. I don't even know where to start with things like that.
The whole Mendy thing has been a game of chicken so todays news on him could just be another hand played by them.
Maybe I’m being naive, but feel it’s no coincidence that mendy and Simic are off within hours of one another. Feels like we might have made progress elsewhere.
As others have said I will judge things at 11pm tomorrow. This could still end up being our best window in recent memory. It could also end up being one of the worst. If we don’t get a striker I’m afraid there’s no defence of Speakman. You can say things change last minute but you need to safeguard against that. Selling Clarke relatively cheaply and not using the money after a good start is indefensible. But that only matters come 11pm tomorrow. I have confidence / faith / hope, however misguarded, that we get who we need tomorrow.
Yeah, something isn't quite right. I don't know much about him, but from the reports on here and the fact that he's played regularly in the champions league at 20, surely he's good enough to play upfront for Cardiff?!?! Whatever happens, happens. I'm sure we'll get what we want. They've delivered on everything so far this summer and I'm relaxed about them getting someone else in upfront.
Cannon will 100% leak from the Leicester end again so I don’t think that will come out of nowhere. Other options might though.
I'm confident a forward will come in. We have the cash and if we are able to bring in a midfielder who was playing Champions League football last season then surely we can get an adequate forward through the door. There's no room for failure though, time to do the business.
Interesting that @John Wick ’s info was wrong or at the best out of date. Not having a dig. But he said Simic had chosen us and it was down to the clubs. Things can’t have moved that quickly.
I’m relaxed at the moment. There’s no more excuses now though. A striker is absolutely non-negotiable.
