The potential bad news is I feel that Re Bowen... a cheeky late offer may come in..... and Re Groswitski, the window doesn't close in Europe for two more weeks and if his old club are looking at him, or another, we have no way of responding...

Same. I can see a late bid coming in for Bowen. Speaking to neutrals in the pub the other night they all commented on Bowen.
 
Think we will end up with 3 or 4 loans, our manager said he has spoke with a few but looks like nothing which is no surprise, I do hope I'm wrong but I think like most Ehab dosn't have much intention of bringing anyone in. Hopefully we will get a few surprises tomorrow but I doubt it. Think our manager must be thinking, what chance have i got? But might has well try my best with what I've got get a few thousand a week and build the bank balance up. Don't blame him he's a positive bloke but just wish they would give him a fair crack of the whip. Don't expect big money signings anymore but we all know he needs a bit more help than he his getting.
 
I dont think its even that.
The Allams are making sure they will get all their money back (ignoring that it was a gift, that they've enjoyed good interest income, no doubt tax and group offsets, etc) so are only prepared to do business on the very cheap, or not at all. They still want to leave a club sufficiently intact for someone to take on, but after the short lived flurry of signings, they see the urgency of more signings as much reduced (they probably even think we could get by as we are), so its now only absolute steals or else a couple more loans to come.
I would think they would of expected good offers for at least a couple of ours, which they would of cashed in on and used only a fraction of the fees on replacements. Probably much to their dismay, that hasnt happened (yet).
A ****ing gift. Tommy Cooper could deliver that line and it still wouldn’t be funny.
 
The loan market doesn't close until 31st August. Therefore they'll be little going on with City tomorrow night..I dare say rehab will be watching the Maguire Lester to Man Utd situation and will on Friday purchase a show pony.

This Burnsie has said as much on Twitter. Nowt happening!
 
So the team desperately needs a few additions to give Adkins half a chance of competing and what do our illustrious owners do .... hide !!! Sorry but these morons are a disgrace.. shame the FA can't hold them to account for being unfit and improper owners
 
“We’re not as strong as we need to be. I’ve made that perfectly clear. I’m not going to hide away from it, we need to bring more players in,” said Adkins.

“The owners know that because we need to help a squad of players that’s working ever so hard.

“We talk about the transfer window finishing, the permanent one, but the loan window is still open for the rest of the month. And in that you can still buy players.

“In effect, the window is open for another month basically so don’t panic.”

Read the full article in the HDM and came to the conclusion that in "Adkins speak" he's telling fans nobody coming in today.
