Isn't that obvious? He waiting to see if a bigger club will come in to make an improved offer.
That's understandable. After being told for two years that your destined for Champions League football with either Athletico, Arsenal or Chelsea, you're going to be a little cautious when it comes to the possibility of signing for one of the favourites for Premier League relegation.

Hopefully, we will know sooner rather than later whether the deal will happen but, like Caulker, Malky and his staff have sold the club to Capoue.
Like the Tom Ince talks everything was agreed by the clubs and the player but ultimately it is down to the player whether he wants to sign for a newly promoted team.
Hopefully it won't go like the Ince deal did.
Malky is looking at bringing in a winger and I see that Odemwingie is being linked but I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is another pacy, direct wide man that Malky is looking closely at.
A press conference will be held down the Vale tomorrow where new signings Brayford, Moore and Caulker will sit with Malky to answer questions.
Season tickets will be posted out next week.![]()

If Tan wants to spend it then who are we to argue?

Tan isn't spending it though is he! Tan is still LOANING us the money until he converts the debt to equity (I thought he promised to do this if he settled the Langston debt), with a 7% interest!

I totally disagree.
My opinion of Capoue, Caulker and Andreas is quite simple, future value. All under 25, and all of them are current international of there respected countries.
QPR bought pretty much anyone they could by and simply too many new players upset the rhythm of the squad and well, we know the rest. I think the 3 named players are hugely important for the backbone and survival of CCFC in its debut season in the EPL.
Why would you risk buying Ligue 2 or second division spanish players for £4-£5m, when you can get the brightest players and current established internationals at bargain prices of £8-£10m.
im not comparing here, but Man Utd bough Rio Ferdinand for £34m. Ok even Caulker does not get to Rio's heights, we have just bought him for a reported £8m, his potential is easily £20m?? After reading interviews, tweets, tabloid reports, Caulker is regarded massively in England by hugely regarded ex players and managers, some are calling him the future and possible captain of England. Yet we bough him for less than Swansea want for Ashley Williams who is 28years old?? com on that deal is by far one of the bargain buys of the summer.
Seriously, if we get Capoue, £26m for three rising stars and players who have absolute talent at there disposal, these dels are bargains in the current market, and one we should praise Malky and Tan for.

Please explain how my post is false in any way? I am delighted with the players we are bringing in, but the longer things go without Tan converting the debt to equity, the more worried the sensible fans will be about the financial situation of our football club. It makes me laugh how fans go along with the rebrand for the "financial stability of our club", yet when Tan continues loaning us money to sign players and I express my worries, the same fans shoot me down!
