He said we might make a big signing (or words to that effect if I remember correctly). I can't be bothered to go and find the exact quote. It doesn't change the point of my post, I didn't build myself up, I am taling about the fanbase in general. I just don't think it's the wisest thing to do. I'm perfectly chilled thanks. If we are to believe the various rumours about strikers, the management clearly agree with my assertion that another striker would improve our chances of promotion. Doing it without another striker is a fair bit of a risk and I would prefer us to strengthen further as otherwise we are relying on the fitness of Connolly.

I never denied that, I just feel that we really need a new striker in January. Seemingly the management agree if the rumours are to be believed. I still question the wisdom of Adkins referring to us possibly signing a very big name. Then when we inevitably fail to get the very big signing, it's a bit underwhelming.

It's very risky to gamble promotion on it. This guy from Fulham even on loan sounds quite good. I would go for something like that if we can't pull these other deals off.

Of course they shouldn't. I just question our transfer policy on the basis that we appear to be going for a few players that we had no chance of getting. Most people realised we wouldn't be getting Hooper as there was no chance that Celtic would sell their best player to an NPC club. J-Rod seems very unlikely also. Sordell we could get perhaps. I hope that we don't end up with no more strengthening up front. Clearly we want more reinforcements up there so if we don't get any that will be disappointing.

See no reason to change the stance here.

Won't happen as Burnley do not want to sell.

This was obvious ages ago. Not sure how we are going to get the top class striker we clearly want though if we only go for players that clubs want to sell.

Laugh a minute you are.

This is getting a bit silly now. Celtic want unrealistically silly money for him and don't want to be seen to lose face. Hooper already says he wants to stay so they won't be able to use the line that he wanted to go. They aren't going to sell unless its 10M IMO and there is no way we are going to pay that.

See they have signed kelvin etuhu after his prison sentence. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest!

And what does that mean in English...

Haha so true for some on here!

Won't get either IMO as neither club will sell. Let's concentrate on more realistic targets.

Fancy telling us a position?

So has the signing you alluded to go elsewhere? Or are you expecting someone else?

That is just another reason to hope this happens

Very very doubtful they will sell now. We shall see by the end of the window though won't we.

He won't go for that. Waste of time we should concentrate our efforts elsewhere.

Oh dear not again. Mods delete please.

Exactly. Because his statement was so conclusive, if he leaves now he will look like an idiot. He won't be coming here, at least not in this window. We move on.

The 'Scottish game' is atrocious.

And you play in the SPL. Lol at you.

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!
