I imagine we were looking at Hooper with the view to a bit of forward planning for the premiership.

Well either we bid the six million or we didn't and we look stupid for making joke offers for targets. So I reckon we did bid that amount!

Yep. It remains a worry that we are possibly overly ambitious with our transfer policy. We shall see I suppose.

I predicted that last week.

Well that's that then.

Well maybe but they were hardly likely to put the stuff up about specific players.

Adkins only spoke about it after the interviewer mentioned was Lennon had been saying.

Only one poster on here posted that and it clearly wasn't true.

He has been a poster for a good number of years. Was reliable a few years ago though cannot remember specifics.

I remember the MLT poster and he has posted stuff in the past that has come to fruition so I trust what he says.

You don't have to read it TBH. I think little bits of info (which sometimes are right) is what makes this place more interesting. It's certainly the reason why the rumours threads are so popular over January and the summer.

Not especially. He was right about Lee. Grateful for any sort of info really. If he knows the position that would be interesting.

Would be good to know the position of the signing MLT. And if he has been mentioned on here?

Yes this is my worry too. You would hope that we have a few reserves in mind (even if it's a loan) to cover us in case we are unable to get our targets like Hooper.

Excellent result that calms some nerves. Let's not make the mistake though of thinking we don't need to strengthen due to one brilliant result. I am encouraged though and sounded like our backup options really took their chances.

I don't think the evidence suggests that to be the case. We would not make a financial plan based on selling a youth team player to cover losses from the previous year. No professional organisation does that as there are too many intangibles and things that could have gone wrong and neither would we. On top of which, we stated we wanted to keep Chamberlin suggesting that there was no need to sell to cover losses.

Not really worth discussing until we actually do spend this sort of money. Having said that, if we do spend the money then I would argue that yes we can afford it because we sold Chamberlin for 15 million.

Hmm didn't realise that. Probably not true then.

If he is going there do you know if anyone is going the other way?

No way will they sell now. Not in their interest. If he hands in a transfer request then that's a different matter but I can't see it.

He always does that with every rumour. He hasn't had a PM.

Oh dear... Bye Turkish.

Why does it matter? Every window people post a lot about people who may or may not sign. Every single window you get a load of posters filling those threads laughing about the length.

So who else apart from Chaplow and Fonte?
