Wilson's deadline day worry
           

  DANNY Wilson has admitted the thought of reaching February 1 without a new striker on board at the County Ground has crossed his mind lately, and it has
  been far from pleasant.

Danny Wilson's worry worries me

he sounds like he's bargain shopping instead of just going for it and making sure we have someone to score goals. ARGH

It was always coming really, did any of us expect any different?

Hmmm...just the sort of headline you didn't want to see today but knew you probably would :hmmm:

Betting that we'll get a striker in today is in the DMR realms of wagering.

Right Im going out for a couple of hours and if we haven't signed 3 strikers by the time I get back then thats it, Im burning my season ticket that I don't have and having a wilson out / sack the board protest around the streets of chippenham.  Then Im going to join the adver forum and scream and shout because its JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.  AND MY CAPS LOCK MIGHT GET STUCK ON.  AND I MIGHT BEAT THE WIFE (IF IVE EVER MANAGED TO TALK TO A WOMAN WITHOUT HER RUNNING AWAY).

Reading the comment about agents' fees does make me wonder whether we have a particularly hardline stance when it comes to not paying these.  To an extent, I do like the idea that we may be doing our bit to divert money away from players' agents - who add no value at all to the game.  They are parasites.  Ultimately, we all end up paying for them. But what purpose do they really serve?

Unfortunately, unilateral action never works though.  If we refuse to pay these fees while other clubs do, the playing field will be very uneven.  (Think of the pitch at the Manor Ground.)  I'm also disconcerted that DW seems to be getting his excuses in early.  As others have said, this is simply not good enough.  Failing to replace Greer and Paynter has cost us dear.  The manager has had 6 months to remedy the situation, and hasn't.  Add Austin to the picture, and today is pivotal.  I'm watching.  Excuses are not going wash this time if nothing happens.

isn't this from the interview after the exeter game? i hate the need to rehash the older interviews!

Yes it is. Nothing new here that we haven't all heard on Saturday.

I'd imagine Wislon is sitting in his drawing room smoking a big fat cigar following a busy day of signing 4 top players on Sunday and Fitton giving him the day off.

Anyone want to bet the first signing is not a striker?

I think we definately need a young promising CB.

It was mentioned about half an hour ago on Talksport in their transfers bit that Benyon was on his way to us.

Cripes they've gone into melt down on the adver comments section  ;D

:D I reckon we'll announce we're after a couple of left-backs "but nothing's definite" mid-morning just to see if the level of fury and CAPSLOCK keythumping can make the Adver's server explode. Then mid-afternoon, they'll say the move's fallen through, then at around 5.20 when people are flooding GWH A&E with burst eyeballs and imploded brains and the like, there'll be a press conference with Wilson pissing himself laughing, saying "Ha, got you!" and unveiling acknowledged want-away Torres, Scholes (in a player manager role) and Coxy turning his back on the Prem to return to his spiritual home

Right Im back!

Nothing confirmed yet!!!!!

Right Im building the bonfire, making the placards and vodoo dolls, and my caps lock has broken.

That's it.  I'm shutting down my browser for the rest of the day.  Back on here probably at about 8pm - so hopefully a few pieces of good news to read about by then.

Come on Sonny!

Getting very very worried down here.

SQUEEKY BUM TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's ok, there's always the loan window.

::)

Oxford away next season is gonna be fucking mental

Getting twitchy here !

Who knows, we could get relegated and they could get promoted.

Too awful to think about

Sorry but Wilson and the board deserve to be absolutely slaughtered if strikers don't come in today, Loans aren't really any good and they knew weeks ago that Austin was going, it's the Greer & Paynter situation all over again and failing to replace players, I really don't fucking get it!!!

If.

Wait till 11pm to have a meltdown please.

You're not paying the bills.....we put out an XI on Sat with 6 subs, that's plenty of players, we probably had a couple sitting around on their fat arses doing jack shit. What more do you want?

Agree with Nemo. This could a long evening.

More centre backs?

 You can never have too many, we've got 5 or 6....might as well stick one up front

You bastard.  You just made me remember Antoine van der Linden.

From the over frustrated tone of every single fucking thing you've ever posted I think we've all long since realised that you haven't been getting it :)

That Taylor of Exeter looked good on saturday. Maybe weve bid £200k for him?

We are going to have the best flat back 7 in the league.

19 0-0 draws til the end of the season will leave us on 49.. probably relegated, if we could just notch once it'd push us to 51 and probable safety...maybe Phil Smith should be practising shooting from his kick outs.

At this late hour a speculative punt for Truro's Stewart Yetton is what's needed. You know it makes sense Danny.

2005– Truro City 198 (205 goals)

How many times...Centre backs from Exeter called Taylor should always be bought.  Get this done.

And why has no one else taken a punt on him?

Hidden gem, and at just 30-50k(?) for a 25 year old, worth a punt

Because he's the John Campbell of the south

Just without the Cliffordesque spin doctor behind him.

no, that's shady

Shady's having his phone hacked by the News of The World as we speak.

He'd cost a lot more than that.

He's not hidden, Truro have had plenty of exposure.

Clubs like Truro who think they are the bollocks and destined for the top, tend to be the hardest to do a deal with. They are desperate for the attention of League clubs courting their players and then get off on turning them down.

Clubs like Torquay who are realists tend to be the ones to do business with.

And the scarcity of interest in him is staggering. Off the radar of most i'd venture because the fact he's still at Treyew Road is astonishing

Perhaps we should sign Mildy-a striker for the price of a keeper.
