[Albion] There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.

[BRIGHT ON Q]

How the hell have we gone from mid April to now and failed to sign a striker?

 

[The Rivet]

"rest of us"? You and these guys?

Very good Harry!

 

[Nixonator]

If only it were possible to put in some bids for strikers before today. Lives and learns.

 

[Marshy]

Have you just dropped Shane off in Lancing?

I wish... I think everyone would be pretty thrilled if he signed now ;-)

I feel a bit silly, at the moment, for not mentioning that sooner.

 

[daveinprague]

Still confident although beginning to contemplate what sleeping on the floor will be like

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Very good Harry!

In 30 minute's time I'll happily join you in a suicide pact (you first?). Till then I'm walking on sunshine

5live covered Hudd BHA Newc just then. Their views:

Newc - the worst window of the PL clubs.

Hudd - a great window at all levels, manager and atmosphere around the club.

BHA - silence.

Players must be livid the club have not given them a chance of competing if they don't sign a striker. This could really knock team spirit. Let's hope not. You have to feel for CH. His job should be safe whatever happens. Don't blame the manager if we are miles adrift at Christmas.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Shows our naiveity from top down I'm afraid, I thought that was reason PB was appointed, someone who had good experience of dealings at PL level.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL!!! We haven't scored a goal yet and have completely failed to add a striker. Epic.

I am finding it very hard to believe the only target the recruitment team identified who they deemed good enough, willing to join and with a club willing to sell was Dwamena. Unfortunately the way the last few days have panned out make this seem believable[emoji43]

I have mentioned a couple of times that Tony Cascarino identified in Times a few weeks ago that our salary cap of £40k was going to be a problem, At the time I wondered how he knew and whether he was right. We shall never know the former, but our inability to sign that most expensive resource, coupled with CH admitting a couple of days ago that salaries were proving a problem, strongly suggests he was correct about the cap, at least until realisation dawned too late.

The shame is that we shall need to spend big on two strikers for the Championship next season when we could have done this season and given ourselves a chance.

136 days to get transfers done and with 20 minutes to go we haven't got the major one we needed

 

[Albion100]

It's a joke.

 

[Marshy]

10.40 and Marshy still believes

Not giving up now

Salary cap lost us Glenn Murray to Palace. Salary cap know means we are unable to sign a Premier League striker..... do the club ever learn ?

But, on the plus side, we still have a club and haven't plummeted down the leagues a la Pompey's experiment with no cap.

"Sack the board!"

FFS get a grip.

There is a middle ground between us now and Pompey, you know that right ? If we had a cluster policy how come we haven't managed to replace the lad that failed a medical ?
