Royal Rother If we HAD increased our bids for the various players mentioned (Ince, Zaha, Rhodes, Davies, Graham and many others we've supposedly entered into discussions about down the years) you can bet your arse that we'd also have ended up paying a lot more for the various players we HAVE signed.

Other clubs KNOW we don't play that game and that is worth a hell of a lot in negotiations.

The strength shown in walking away is a major asset in the club's dealings.


I don't think that's particularly applicable to football when there are many other factors that can inflate or deflate a player's value.

I also don't think that having paid £6m for Zaha would mean Crawley would have held out for £301k for Akpan.

Yes, 6 or 7 hours of watching other clubs buying players while we sit their admiring our balance sheets. That's it, can't be bothered, going to get a hotel and order a couple of hookers to pass the time until the window shuts.

Something is gonna happen.. feeling positive.

This is going to be an exciting few hours... 6 hours until it SLAMS shut and our WARCHEST is tucked away until the summer.

I saw a car outside B&Q with the number plate 'THOM4S 1NC3 RFC'. Not sure what it means. I think its an illegal number plate though so I did call the police.

So it looks like the traditional powder puff display on the signings front then.
Not many good rumours circulating now. If we get any injuries we will be oxf*rd.

agreed. lets see what BM has to say on talksport. inb4 were very happy with all the signings we have made this window and we are not going to be making any more. on saturday we will probably lose to sunderland at home and panic will ensue and everything will be back to question BM again unfortunately. :roll: :roll: :roll:
