Canary Man of Kent

What makes us think a deal is unlikely? All I''ve heard is that Maric will let Gunn know today.

For some reason I thought he was in Serbia weighing up his options....not sure where I saw this...

Told you Gunn hadn''t ruled it out.

Great thanks. I don''t want Clingan to leave, but as he definitely will at some point, the sooner the better.

Did Mr Gunney mention anything about any of the above in the Press Conference this morning?

Confirmed see official site

Michael bailey on Twitter seems to think just the one this morning. Although the word he uses is expected, so you never know.

3) everyone thinks (and claims) they know someone that knows something but actually know nothing.

Whoops, meant the latter

Thanks Cam, I imagine it will be the former. Don''t want to get myself too excited!

That was the season before Pompey were promoted wasn''t it? I thought it was our play off year, we won 2-1, Roberts, Harper equaliser and then a Tiler o.g. to win it. In their promotion year we lost 3-2. They went a goal up twice and each time we equalised within a minute. Todorov got the winner. In any case, your point is a valid one, albeit I think he lets his temper get to him far too much, was incredibly lucky not to be sent off away at Swansea last season and I found as a rule he tends to adjust his performance level to be just that little bit worse than the opposition. He''s certainly no Damien Francis, more Lee Marshall.

I wish there was a webcam so we could see waggers sat in there on his own. He must feel like a right prat!

Yeah, someone spotted this last night. http://www.pinkun.com/cs/forums/1/1768383/ShowPost.aspx#1768383 can''t be bad news, won''t read too much into it though

I guess they talk ball park figures then try and play hardball if the player impresses.

I reckon if he does have other offers they''re in Spain and it comes down to whether he wants to come over here or not. We''ll see, I hope he does but it''s not the end of the world if he doesn''t!

Official SMS. See offy site

One year deal

Yes just Hughes. The press conference tomorrow has been postponed until Friday

Mcveigh on a free would be fine by me. He offers good versatility, scores the odd goal and can be reasonably creative. I think he''d be cheap too. I know not everyone agrees on this.

No it won''t.

Excellent news! Wiggins + Holt + Maric + Whaley + a right back and I think we''ll be looking quite good. Perhaps even a little stronger than last season, although it is of course hard to tell without a ball being kicked in anger. I guess the biggest concern is all these new players will need some time to gel.  

Official text : It''s Hughes on a 3 year deal

I can''t say I''ve ever had to wait 3 weeks for a bus though, and if I did I don''t think three/four turning up would be as much consolation as this.

I''m not entirely sure why the press office would know either, not sure our press office know all about the transfer goings on. Be interesting to see if he plays tonight, if he does I think that would suggest he''s not imminently arriving at City, and perhaps not at all.

I can''t see us getting more than £250k for curo. I''d take it in a flash though, Martin looks a much better bet to me.
