Although I wouldn't class the likes of Graham, Bullard, Bougherra etc., as panic buys. I'd like to see us move a little faster on them.
Nowrich seem to be bidding big prices for mediocracy. Although £1m for Bennet could be good business. He's very young, and looks quite a tallented lad.
thing is... better players become available when they know they wont be apart of the 25 of a squad. signing a few now is good but we could pickup the likes of sturridge and those on fringe of top 8 clubs.
norwich are signing everybody.. tis going to be v hard for them to get a team going with what looks like a lot of striker rotation.
Soldier: "im on reconnaissance sir.. im looking for our camouflage expert.. have you seen him?"
Lovejoy: "No?!"
Soldier: "GOD DAMNIT THAT GUYS GOOD!"
V happy for us not to waste millions on mediocrities like Norwich but would like us to get moving on players like Graham and Naughton however as they are unlikely to be without other admirers. But Gaza makes a good point about holding some of the budget back (whatever it is? does Neil even know?) to pick off a cheeky loan from a top side.
Im sure we are making the right moves behind the scenes...
Transfer window is currently closed, which obviously doesnt help with announcing our targets or potential signings. I would say that the club appear to be acting very dilligently in their enquiries. Not making it public knowledge.
Farrkk the canaries and Delia.
"The transfer window is now closed for signings for the remainder of the season but will reopen on 1 July.
Domestic transfers between clubs in the same association (eg England or Scotland) can take place as soon as a club completes its last competitive fixtures.
However, many transfers or signings, although agreed and announced at this time, will not formally go through until 1 July because the majority of players' contracts expire on 30 June.
Outside of the transfer window, any club may still sign players on an emergency basis (such as if they have no goalkeepers available) with special dispensation from their competition's governing body, for example the Premier League.
Players who are out-of-contract free agents can be signed outside of the transfer window if they were unattached when the previous window closed, although most leagues have their own deadlines for clubs to register players to play during the season."
