At what point did I say there was?I don't see much bed-wetting over transfers?
I think it's sorting something because we've missed out on choices A, B and C. You have to then ask why we can't convince people to come despite, by Des' implications, being at the point where contracts are being offered. That's where the belt tightening comes in, why haven't we been able to get our main targets? It's been confirmed there have been multiple interviews, people aren't going to come down or do them remotely just for a laugh, they must be interested in the role. Then we've offered contracts, a couple of weeks of silence or "we're hoping to have it agreed soon" weeks later we've ended up with Hackett. We've not been willing/able to offer good enough packages to tempt people away who are actively interested in the role, all while we desperately needed someone and games were coming twice a week. Not a good look.Dunno if it's belt tightening or just sorting something for now having missed out on candidates. We'll see whether we spend on players or not soon enough.
Maybe it depends where targets are currently living and come from, could all be down to the famous and much discussed local house price problem!I think it's sorting something because we've missed out on choices A, B and C.

Of which you adjust your offer accordingly.Maybe it depends where targets are currently living and come from, could all be down to the famous and much discussed local house price problem!
Honestly forgot what it was like to have an exciting transfer window with one banger after the next, coupled with complete relaxation approaching midnight.
This won't be cheap either so credit to the board as well.
That’s an excellent signing for them. Can’t understand how they’ve had Arblaster, Devine and now Weir there this season.
But on that basis we‘d pay similar wages for a League One player and staff to what Sunderland, Middlesboro, Preston etc… would then do for a Championship player/coach. I doubt the likes of Charlton and Leyton Orient pay over the top wages because they are based in London, though in this area it may explain Reading’s problems I guess!Of which you adjust your offer accordingly.
Out of interest, does it make you feel better when you post groundless, negative bullsh!t. Perhaps we should all try it
Suggestion or actual rumour/interest?Ben Waine from Plymouth.
They’re looking to recruit another forward to allowed him to leave (on loan I assume)
Worked with Des in the NZ youth and at Wellington I believe.
The problem is that the season doesn’t stop until February while we get everything sorted. Dropping points because our squad isn’t ready in January isn’t any different to dropping them in August, and it seemed like it took us four years to get over that problem.I wrote the following in the summer transfer thread...whether we see the same this time around is in the stars, but in my opinion we do have to have confidence in the recruitment policy working again. Whatever happens, we will only truly see on the first day of February.

So you’ve taken a rumour and determined what the club’s strategy is and criticised it. All without a single fact or piece of evidence to support your conclusion.Not the sort of striker I’d be trying to sign.
There is better than that out there. Seems like we are going down the Konate route again. Wonderful. Dear dear dear.
Seen him play have you? And if so why would you compare him to Konate.Not the sort of striker I’d be trying to sign.

Two clubs have signed players , it's going mental out there !!!!That’s an excellent signing for them. Can’t understand how they’ve had Arblaster, Devine and now Weir there this season.
Things starting to happen now, Lincoln getting Taylor, Vale getting him.
