Glenn doesn't know which set of players to sign.

[BlyBlyBabes 0]

Delia''s cheapies list  or Peter''s A list!

What a dilemma, poor fella.

So far, I suppose Clinigan, Hoolihan and Bertrand come from the overlap - but both lists are shortening as people posture.

We shall see.

Good luck Glenn.

I''m not sure that is the case Bly.

I would have thought the sensible thing to do would be to prepare for the coming season on the assumption that things will remain as they are. He would be a rumm''un to not sign any players on the current ''Delia Regime'' budget in case nothing happens with Cullum and then find on the eve of the season that he is having to call Gossy out of retirement to make up the numbers!

If Cullum does get in I reckon we''ll be in for an exciting January transfer window my boy.

[Syteanric 1]

agreed bob... Roeder has to press on.. i doubt any take over will be completed before October/november anyway.... so it would be foolish to not get in bodies now.. we can always get in better quality in January should Cullum buy us.

jas :)

[LORD FOXY LOWE 0]

The priority at the moment must be a centre half and a centre forward. Get those in place during preseason before the friendlies start and I think we''ll be ok. If we''re lucky and don''t get any injuries, our first 11 will be good enough to make a positive start to the season. Then we strengthen the sqaud before the end of August, get a few high quality loans in during September and then reaccess in January to see what we still need. Look it really isn''t that bad a team...

Just supposing Glenns team works out really well and we''re top (or pushing play-offs) in january, do we want to make changes?

Remember what happened when we tinkered before?

If we could be in the top 10 in January and get the right players in it could be an exciting end to the season.

Maybe Bly has a point here? Just been reading the bit about Gow in the EDP sports section on their site and it says Gows agent has asked Docaster for an answer but he says he''ll speak to Roeder but gets no call back.

Just knew you were going to say that..... Can I suggest that you go back and read what actually happened? ND gets a lot of stick on here but the Taylor saga had little to do with him.

[manbearpig 0]

if the cullum thing does happen we might not have to wait til januarys window, if they can sort out a deal soon and sign pre contract agreements to say that he will be taking over the club then he might put in the money before hand so we could have some money asap.

Whether we have Cullum''s money or not, Glenn should be having an urgent word with Kevin Phillips.

I agree. Always liked him as a striker. Just a tad short of real international class in the right team.

Off your A list, I presume you mean? Is that the same "A List" that Barclay Boy says contains Clinton Morrison and Freddie Eastwood...?

[O.T.B.C 1]

Regardless of if and when the takeover happens, this will not happen in time for the end of the transfer season. It may be there for Janaury, which could give us a big push. GR needs to stick to what list he had before the takeover talk began. I still believe that he has a budget of about 3 million.

I don''t think either the board or Cullum do or will set the transfer targets.

Nor would I expect Glenn to stay around if either did, no matter what the budget was.

Wrong, "cheapies" implies we actually have some money, I think the money we have "splashed"  so far demonstrates that.
