Calm Before the Storm or Dead Ends?

[Cantiaci Canary 556]

So ... half way through the window and it has all gone a bit quiet with regards to rumours of any substance.

Which of the options in the title do you put this down to?!

It''s like people get bi-annual amnesia!

Would viagra help ?

[Thirsty Lizard 3,155]

There''s that phrase again - ''rumours of substance''. :)

What do we want? Rumours of substance! When do we want them? Now!

[Canary Wundaboy 1,358]

When are we allowed to get worried? Halfway through the window? 3/4 through the window? 3 days before the window shuts? The day the window shuts?

I for one was hoping we''d have strengthened considerably by now but apart from Jarvis and Pinto all we''ve done is sell Grabban, that''s a cause for concern.

We need signings, on that everyone agreed. So where are they?

[Essjayess 307]

No worries about anymore silly rumours, we will get a solid reliable piece of info on the final window day...Gayle recovered from hamstring...City bid for Gayle in the last hour...Palace turn down bid, not enough time for a replacement. The perfect Deja Vu ending to this window.

[Essjayess 307]

Agree with you morty, the fans  spell the word "wanting"  as e,x,p,e,c,t,i,n,g.

[Samwam27 519]

and "early" as n.e.v.e.r lol

We are expecting something to happen but constant rumours on the pink un web site not helping ,naismith apparently going to Swansea and we sign a York midfielder ! Hope if it''s true the rest of the transfer window improves .

[Van wink 2,994]

Maybe we''re saving money to buy players in the summer.

[Indy 3,286]

Why don''t we look at what we have done in 14 days.........

Signed Jarvis, Pinto, and two young potential young stars of the future.

Sold two fringe players and tried to get in Naismith......

Haller if true is at Colney tomorrow and had O''Neil stayed on the pitch, we could have had another draw on the board.

Storm started already and gathering pace, we have done more business than most and I''m pretty please not to be a Bournemouth fan having wasted 20 million on two unproven strikers at this level.

At the end of the day, fools rush in where angels fear to tread so we are doing the right thing in keeping our powder dry while picking the low-hanging fruit in advance of a deadline day goldrush where we can pick up the final pieces of our premiership jigsaw and offload the square pegs in round holes.

Trust this is clear.

[/quote]Early doors the board ran some ideas up the flagpole to see if the manager saluted them.We have to make sure we have our ducks in a row this month.

"Worried", "anxious" (on another thread). I''ve just finished reading a book entitled "The Emotional Life of Toddlers". Much of it would seem to be equally relevant if you substituted "Football Fans" for "Toddlers".

The use of nappies would also be a common theme there.

[hogesar 9,618]

Not overly concerned but then again I don''t feel like my life is on the line either way.

[93vintage 16]

There''s been one or two encouraging signs. But it seems that McNally has bought Alex Neil a spade for Christmas.

Too wet and cold to dig at the moment best wait till spring
