They're right on the ball, aren't they - they haven't even heard of Locadia yet!
Did anyone else show interest in Locadia?

Has Tony sanctioned an almighty spending spree this month ?

Was just thinking the same. There seems to be credible rumours for a lot of transfer action at the moment.

I hope so, unless he wakes up, checks his bank balance and screams in pain before phoning Barber and Winstanley..."You spent how much?!"

Am I right in thinking that "investing" in players (especially young ones) is considered part of the business of a top club now? Transfers aren't as much about providing current 1st team players as they used to be.
It would be a great thing for us in the long run if Tony and his team can turn out to be exceptionally good at this (and it is obvious that they might well be). In the short term we could also do with one or two ready to hit the ground running.
He's a young player so (it should) not just be the money. Depends on what he thinks his prospects are for breaking into the first team. I'd suggest that he's probably got more chance here than at either of the scouse teams.

These aren't the players you're looking for.

I remember, before the season started, reading something about club giving the majority of the squad that got us promoted a chance to prove themselves in the Premier League. Seems like the club has seen enough and decided now is the time to kick sentiment into touch.

That's the end of that then. Shame. If Alan Nixon says it, it's definitely not happening.

I always thought Nixon was quite accurate, and never mentions the Albion. Oh well, win some lose some.

His reputation within the biz is that he had one or two decent sources but since Harry Redknapp and a few others have left the building many of his trails have gone cold.

Okay, thanks. Will pay less attention to him from now on.

It's a double edged sword, change too much too quickly and you lose the team spirit. I think this considered approach is the right one.
We're still in a good position to stay up and can now off load some of our unwanted players for premier league prices.

Konza would only go into the DS and disappear into the football equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle with all the other young players that we have signed and have never been seen again.
What happened to the highly-rated centre-back that we signed from Motherwell? What has happened to the Czech right-back that we signed from Viktoria Plzen, the champions-elect of the Czech Republic? The young Dutch winger that we signed in the summer has already been offloaded. There are several other similar cases that I could mention. We signed the sought-after Adam Chicksen, and look what happened to him. We turned one of our own, JFC, from an enterprising, attack-minded midfielder into a plodding carthorse who could not pass the ball more than five yards and then only backwards or sideways. What might we yet do to Connor Goldson and his career?
