I don't know? I am all confused and a bit emotional now. This is all becoming too much and I have work to do. Can I give you odds of 5/1 that this Rick fella sorts it out before tomorrow tea time and we see at least one new hound lined up?

Why not cut out the middle man and send a scout or someone directly over here to check things out. There are plenty of good young players who might not be good enough for the premiership or championship but would be only too willing to get into league one and get a foothold for their future. You would probably get them at the right price as well.

Oh bollocks. Hopefully we'll abled to get Hughes, or our midfield will be extremely weak during the coming months. and striving off relegation will be extremely impossible.

Sorry but where are you talking about?

Did we or did we not approach Ipswich about buying O'Callaghan - yes we did.
Is O'Callaghan Irish - yes he is
therefore Ipswich would be the middleman.
Are Ipswich in the Championship - yes they are.
Does O'Callaghan want to stay in the Championship - obvioulsy he does.
There are plenty of budding Roy Keane, Robbie Keane etc over here who would be only too happy to get into an english club but would need the experience gained at the lower level to progress themselves.
Simple really.
We also don't seem to have a lot of money to fork out on players but I am sure there are plenty within our means over here.
We missed out a while ago on Jason Byrne from Shelbourne - that would have been a great signinig.
All going well we now have falmer behind us as well which might make any deals that little bit more promising.

Championship level maybe but we aren't in the Championship and can't see us getting there this season either.

We're better off using the £75k to knock £3 off a thousand 'golden' matchday tickets for the remainder of the season if we can't sign anyone for a fee.
Do it DK - forget which pot you allocated it to pre-season. If it's not going to be used in 1 budget then use it to supplement another which badly needs it. I as a STH would support that

And when he was playing lower league football before ?
I must admit, it is really bloody annoying that we have still got the likes of Loft on our books when they are clearly not going to make an impact in the first team, and it stops us from signing players of this nature because we can't afford their wages.

is there such a thing as extremely impossible?
surely impossible means it is not possible for something....so it cant be extremely not possible can it?

And what lower league football would that be then. In fact the only lower league football team I can see mentioned here are Brighton and Hove Albion - who obviously let him slip through the net once already. Still nice to know that Cardiff got him instead.
I don't mind Gary Hart, but yeah agree about Mayo. I just think that if you are going to re-sign these experienced pro's, why not use them? It's clearly not working as it is now?

Had several unsuccessful trials at lower league clubs, Scunthorpe being one

I don't mind Hart either, but he isn't going to get a chance to play in the first team so he might as well not be here
Mayo,loft and hart would struggle to get into Crawleys team.Bet when all 3 leave at the end of the season not 1 signs for a league club and all 3 end in nonleague
