JTW positions required

There's the new striker (once he's served his 3 match ban of course!)

Utd perhaps should have left him there until later in the month so Derby pay his wages while he unable to play!

At least Hecky gets a good look at him. Not in matches of course as he’s suspended. I assume he misses Millwall, Stoke and Hull. Given the fact he is cup tied, I’d hope this doesn’t mean that Millwall doesn’t count.

I don’t think our first thinking is to get him in the squad.

I think it’s a possibility and that’s why this is a clever move.

He was going to serve a 3 match ban anyhow so rather than have him training at Derby where he also wasn’t getting any game time we get h in m training back with us.

This then opens up 3 options:

1) by having a closer eye on him we are better placed to make a decision on if he’s ready to form part of the squad.

2) if Kedra goes back and we fail to secure a loan we have a player in the building who steps in and has had a few weeks training with the firs team.

3) We can be lining up loans for if points 2 and 3 fail to materialise that will hopefully give him more game to develop.

Excellent decision by the club this.

yes excellent points and it also indicates that if we do bring a loan striker in its likely to be very late in the window

In fact don’t bother!

I'm fine with all this sort of stuff on this part of the forum (rumour mill) because I just find it all good fun, mainly. The speculation about who we are in for, who might be leaving, etc.

With regards to the takeover, and your source, I would have two questions, which you may or may not be able to answer;

1. Is this an individual or a consortium (or, I guess, a country investment fund)?

2. If an individual, is this person (fingers crossed) a Billionaire?

I remember Kev McCabe being worth around £124 million, just before the Prince came on board (from the Sunday Times rich list), and I think the speculation was that the Prince was worth around £150 million, when he came on board (although it might be a lot harder to find out what a Saudi Prince is really worth, no matter how minor a Royal you are).

We all know that the landscape has changed dramatically now, and the desperation to reach the Premier League means that being a multi-millionaire is not really enough anymore, to keep a decent team afloat outside of the top flight. We all think that the Prince had no option with the sale of United, once the Newcastle sale to went through, to the Saudi investment fund.

To take us, or any other club up, and keep us there for a few years, until established, probably means someone with deep pockets, and good football men around them, to advise.

One glance across the city tells us that just having money and blindly throwing it at football club doesn't always work.........

Any update on transfers Andy?

A lot of humble pie being eaten on here this morning?

Think the position we need to recruit most is "bloke who processes payments"
