And the idiots will blame DK again as usual.
Do you understand player transfers? For a start if a player is in contract the club have to agree to sell him before you reach personal terms negotiations with the player and their agent. In the case of Currie and Leven, the bids were rejected by Luton and Chesterfield respectively, so to jumo on here and make comments like that is really dumb.

DK is a shit chairman, needs to step aside now if our club are ever going to get anywhere!
Now i'm banking on the " 2 hours after the deadline, but the web site guy has gone home so we will only beb told tomorrow" line

... so tell me who would be stupid enough to take on the role when they'd have to put up with pricks like you. Not only would they have to listen to crap like this they'd also have to pay for the pleasure.
It's took the human race some 70,000 years to come down out of the trees, and when you read bollocks like this you have to ask youself why we bothered.

its not all doom and gloom - February 7th, the LOAN window opens and we can get in the central midfielder and winger we missed out on signing permanently

If we really wanted Currie, then we would have gone and got him when the admins were in at Luton - it was once again a last minute attempt. Still will the 20k january profit cover a regulation and drop in crowds?
Or maybe they'll just blame Andy Naylor for reporting the story in the first place?
F Sake people - Chesterfield TURNED DOWN our offer of 50K. We then doubled it and they TURNED IT DOWN, even though he will walk away for nothing in June. How is that the clubs fault
?
Luton TURNED DOWN our offer for Currie, we know they have new hope with new owners and they are not forced to sell anymore so there is an argument we could have got in earlier but we didn't, perhaps we were eyeing another target? For all we know Currie is chomping at the bit to play for us again but if the club say no it means no.
The young lad Martin who was an ex Albion schoolboy - maybe being released has left a sour taste in his mouth and he didn't feel right to return? Being a palace player he's more than likely situated in South London and Millwall across the road (already with a half decent stadium a good manager in Jackett and US investment) was more attractive to him. He went for 50k and we would have easily matched it so it came down to player choice.
The club can't press gang players or clubs into letting us sign them. Some people on here would let shit enter theitr mouths if it was Naylor holding the shovel

Yep, it's all Naylor's fault we haven't got any midfielders. Nothing to do with the fact that Albion put all their faith on 3 deadline day dealings then.Some people on here would let shit enter theitr mouths if it was Naylor holding the shovel
But at the end of the day, all hope is not lost. We're only one or two players short of potentially being a decent side. We just need to get a couple of players on loan who can provide some service.

Oh come on!
We also missed out on Jermain Defoe,Kaka and Gabbie Agbonlahor when our late enquiries were knocked back.

Dissapointing is the summary. Pleased with the attack now but the midfield is seriously weakend. At least we made a profit eh !
Think we need to play Cox in the middle tomorrow with Thomson with Jake + Martot out wide. Basically if that doesnt work we have no other options.

What?
Hang on, that's not fair really. With Leven we bid 50K earlier in the window and they turned it down. We DOUBLED that and they turned it down again. From what we can gather we then went back again, but it didn't happen. Hardly last minute, and not DK's fault. If they turn the bid down there's not much he can do, other than increase the bid which he did. I wouldn't want him to pay over the odds just out of desperation anyway. He'd be on a loser on here whatever. Don't sign a player because a bid is turned down, then he should have offered more. Make inflated bid and sign player, then wasted money we didn't have on an untried player.
I don't see what more he could do really. We've signed 4 players, two of which look like they could be real quality.
Precisely.
If that is the way it did pan out, then I do have some sympathy. I thought we'd only offered double yesterday, which seems desperate.
Either way, we should have had other irons in the fire long before deadline day IMO.
I guess I'm just disappointed, because (barring serious injury) we could be just one decent winger from being a play off side. Our striker situation looks very promising now, and our defence is capable enough at this level.

A couple of creative midfield loan signings will solve the problem.

Just a quiet guy.
I do not know if this has been mentioned but surely we could only start sensible negotiation once we knew we had the 'Hammond'money coming in? Maybe the useless 'Kevin Bacon' lookalike had not faffed around agreeing his 'moneylicious' terms we would have had more time to consider our bids earlier in the day.

think DW has played a clever game, keeping quiet. He is the manager after all and instrumental in who comes in and out - and I think everyone ranting's missed this point; DW's shipped out a lot of unhappy dressing room members (which can't be good at any club) and is building a team with fewer moaners. And he's done it very quietly. Classic good cop / bad cop play. In the circumstances, I think we're still a decent team but only in League 1. Happy with that until Falmer comes and have been realistic about that for last 10 years. Why aren't others?

f*** me all this meltdown and in previous seasons we were lucky to get one loan player in or out.
