True, but as long as that doesn't become the normal mode of business then I think you can take the odd risk like that.

What failed transfer? These links are ****ing hard to follow.
It's madness. It's just some random bloke mentioning his name and saying he isn't good enough and needs to step up if he does sign!
its from Footy Insider
if it was a newspaper would be fish n chip paper
Did we 'know' he was going? If we spend the money in advance of him leaving it just means that we're left under pressure to accept whatever offer we get.
That's mushing together Murty's comments about Watson's not going to Brighton in the post match report for the Bilbao game. Feels like they've translated some of the words and just guessed the bits that connect them
Well. He went. That is evidence enough surely?
Clubs and agents will have had conversations. The club knew he was going. We all knew he was going, it was about the right sum at the right time. The club said they accepted the bid when they did to avoid a bidding war on Deadline Day that might have hampered their own business. My point was that maybe the club could have done it's business earlier through director loans then settled that with the Clarke money.
In any case, it's just a threory.
No I know. We're all guessing about what may have happened. For me personally, I don't ever want us doing the 'speculate to accumulate' thing over individual transfers. We're already a subsidised club, to the tune of many millions a year. The consequence of a miscalculation are too risky. Additionally, as soon as we deviate from a way of working, we've justified deviating permanently IMO.
I would be surprised if we were waiting for the transfer fee before we made a move TC, I think it's more likely to be an over 21 place in the squad and keeping the wage bill in line with our FFP planning.
Click bait journalism from Frank McAvennie. Christ, I didn't think journalism could get much but taking the ramblings of that drunken, drug dealing bankrupt and publishing them? The drunks in Mowbray park are probably more clued up than that halfwit
I think they are limited in what they can actually spend though, if we didn't then sell clarke n they had already spent the money then we could be in trouble
They are doing things the right way, hate seeing clubs doing what Birmingham doing - spending big wages n fees on average players
It sounds to me that money is available for the right players regardless of sales. If the reported figure of 11m Euro for Bamba is anywhere near the mark.
Personally I would have liked a striker through the door but in all honesty from the little I have seen of Isidor we may have a gem on our hands.

I was wondering if Watson was a common Basque name for a second.

Isidor has removed the afro
I’ve seen enough, 100 points minimum now…
Signed for them for a significant fee in the last 12 months. So several years you would think.
