The transfer window and a nervous couple of days

Sun Jan 31, 2010 11:25 am

Well we were promised and we were all hoping for new players coming in during this transfer window but events at the CCS have scuppered any hope of that. Isn't it unbelievable us fans have to endure a couple of days wondering if we are now going to lose any players. Well Mr Ridsdale, how about giving us an unequivocal statement that no players will leave in this transfer window!!! You are not usually slow in coming forward with good news and your silence on this issue speaks volumes. It's squeaky bum time lads.

One thing in our favour is Manchester City apart nearly every other club is skint. I think we should be OK with only a Capaldi or Feeney in danger of going either for nothing or on loan.

The bigger clubs have got a few bob and may now be looking for a bargain. Your Man United, Arsenal, Birmingham, Celtic etc have all got a few bob. I hope your right but if a big club comes in with a few bob for one of our better players are we in a position to refuse?

Good point Man United have just bought that lad from Fulham. Personally I would say Whittingham would top the list as goals equals prises. He has 18 and I think someone might take a punt for £1-1.5m.

That would be devastating for us. First half yesterday he was magnificent.

I don't think any chairman in a club like ours will ever issue unequivocal statements that no player is for sale. How could we refuse big money offers, even given the size of our squad. If someone were to offer £6 million for Ross, would we turn it down? Can't see it myself

I agree, which is why I said it's squeaky bum time :lol: It would be one hell of a kick in the teeth if we lost players when we were all led to believe there would be 4 coming in.

Absolutely, mate. I think DJ is a bit worried, which is why he's telling them all to turn their phones off
