But it will be the only signing for the day...........

http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/8361187.Gow_expected_to_sign_today/

According to the adver it will be the only signing of the day.

But have we signed anyone else??

Perhaps there will be a signing of the evening, or a signing of the night at 23.59. It ain't over 'til the fat lady signs.

Think it closes at 6

We wont get anyone

From the BBC site --> "The international transfer window for signings opened on Wednesday, 9 June and will stay open until 1800 BST on Tuesday, 31 August."

Fingers Crossed!!  :wink:

Be good competition across 3 areas of the pitch. I guess if we don't get a CB we'll get a good NPC one on loan.

He's passed his medical now, or so the adver reports...  :beers:

Sign him up..

I think that's the plan.

A cunning one at that!

  Slightly bizarre, that as a free agent Gow can be signed at anytime, it suggests that his registration is a bit of PR spin to keep the fans happy...

Possibly... and even then, you and I know that many won't buy it.

what does that tell you about the board's view of the fans I wonder? If you read the adver pages it's full of moans regardless of what happens...  :clap:

think if this is the level of our signings then mid table is the absolute best we can hope for this season and fitton must be open with the fans and adjust his 3-5 year plan accordingly. If we had adequately replaced departed key players we would have had a chance of pushing on from last year but for the moment chances of that are slim

I take it as a given that an STFC board will treat its fans with contempt....certainly has been the case for as long as I remember. The present incumbents seem a bit better than others, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions...

I see the old Bart is back.

Can we have the old Bart back please.....mid table  :clap:....surely all the pointers are for an old fashioned relegation battle..

The last 2 seasons where we've had such a bad or even worse start start namely 00/01 and 98/99, both resulted in relegation struggles and an early departing manager.

Non-player character (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-player_character)?

Oh hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

To be fair, he's spot on with his last point.

But it's stupid writing off this signing when he has never seen the bloke play.

He seems to have done well in Scotland at the start of his career but lost his way after coming to England, mostly down to injury. If he can stay fit he might do a job for us, especially if he can play wide left.

Wilson doesn't usually get it wrong with his signings, although the jury is still very much out with Rose & Prutton!

Has he bloomin' signed yet?

I forgot they shortened the season to 4 games. BRB I'm off to slit my wrists! I am convinced once we get the monkey off our backs and get a win we will push on. Also with Ferry starting alongside Douglas hoipefuilly they can re-kindle the magic from last year. Fuck me I sound like I am advertising some disney film!

If this is the only signing we bring in - then I'll be disappointed.

I'll await the usual barrage of crap that follows my 'negative' posts but if you are happy with the team/squad as it is now, then you're a fucking bellend.

But we all know the current squad has the ability. We know what they are capable of, they just aren't performing.

I agree somewhat. Midfield I think we are ok but we are desperate for a goal scorer and a decent centre back!

Calm yourself Dave!

...and I don't recall anyone saying that they're fully happy with the current squad. Buzz words such as "potential" don't count.

deal off

http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/8362834.TRANSFER_DEADLINE_DAY_NEWS__Gow_s_Town_deal_off/

Sheffield Wednesday now interested apparently.

Deary me!

AGREED to join sheffield Wednesday apparently. WTF

Sheffield Wednesday were interested before.

Fuck him. Use the wages we offered him to get a centre-back.

what a cunt!

oh dear, does dave bamber still live local

Would've been a decent signing but fuck 'im.

Ooh blimey. This will set the bopards off - the same ones who never wanted him in the first place.

just under 3 hours to find some players.

Ain't gonna happen now but atleast maybe we can use his wages for a decent loanee when the emergency loan window opens.

Do you get the feeling that Swindon Town have been used here?

in wot way the free meal :D

For sure. St. Mirren, Sheffield Wednesday, Hibs are all interested, Sheffield Wednesday are top of the league so dare say they will sign him now. Clearly he used us for bigger wedge at another club. Seems a bit odd travelling down here for all that. Glad that AF and DW have basically said get fucked.

No.

I understand the cynicism but to go as far as to agree wages and complete a medical. Thats a bit too far in my opinion to go just to drum up interest.

Although I am a bit lost to at which point he would actually sign his contract. If personal terms are agreed and the medical passed, shouldnt he be signing after that?

He's clearly had an unexpected last minute offer from a better club for more money.

Sheffield Wednesday might not have gambled otherwise?

I'm just conspiring.

Not sour grapes but I honestly feel this is a bullet dodged... Generally feel a bit 'meh' about the whole thing.

deal back on, so I've been told.

tease

By....?

Shame cause he looked quite fit!

Cant say but I got Sheehan right so..... take it for what it's worth......

Thats all you think about. Isnt he a bit old for you?

A mate's just spoken to Nick Watkins and the deal's definitely off.

I need something to intice me to go to football at the mo Tans  :girlgiggle:

Is your mate Andrew Fitton :)

What about GK Nash and his fingers?

Seems thats all I have left now

How was you fucking right? You asked if anyone would prefer it to happen

Shame this off, may have provided the creativity we need. Which in my opinion is our main problem, not defence.

Delighted its off...obviously freed up the dosh to get Sheehan.

True

If we were going for four players, I don't think dosh was a problem.

Cash won't be a problem when we sell Charlie Austin ;)

Who knows? I'd imagine we're paying a lot of wages out this year in comparison to last. Got to start performing soon.

I don't think we are, probably the same if not less. I get the impression Fitton has stopped paying stupid money and goes for lower wages with higher bonuses (which would have cost shit loads last season but our income was higher to cover them).


Not sure about that. My guess is that a deal has been on the table for Sheehan all the time with the proviso he sorted his shit out with Leeds first, even after we signed Rose. I reckon they just kept quiet about it.

 Seems to have ended up signing a 6 month deal with Motherwell...

Step down ;)

I will second this, if i may :)

Fuck off Gow you cunt. Egg thoroughly on face.

Wonder if his agent's keeping his head down at the moment? :D

He's going up in the world.  Sadly, his definition of up is North of the border. Bless him.

OMG Barry I read that as -


Fuck off Gow you cunt Egg. thoroughly on face.

I was thinking thats a new insult! :D

Fuck you, you cunt egg.

It's got a certain ring to it.

It does doesnt it!

This is making me chuckle - he was fit but clearly a bit of an idiot

Fortunately an IQ test isn't part of a medical. I suspect a lot of players would fail otherwise.

Eggy little cunt.

I think Jamie in In The Loop calls someone an egg cunt... (searches IMBD...'. Yep. Jamie to Simon/Tom Hollander 'If it isn't Humpty Numpty sitting on top of a collapsing wall like some clueless egg cunt.'

 

alan gow is now at notts county after being released by whichever rubbish scottish team he had a short term contract at

That was a scary old bump, Gordon. My heart sank and I was gonna punch my laptop. (Another left winger and a shit one, supposedly, at that.)

i was watching the bbc roundup and he missed a corking chance, what a good job we didn't sign him

think we wanted too but he changed his mind about his pay

this is why our defence has played so badly

Rubbish. Compare our goals scored to other teams in this division.

We don't lack creativity, we lack organisation.

i meant jb actually saying that its not our defence that was the problem....jinxed
