" TODAY'S DEAL LATEST NEWS "

Is it their club playing hardball or the player / agent ?

Is it Craig or the striker???

It's all good. I have faith it'll be all worth it. So then Carl any suggestions on what my first pint should be tonight?

I really think it's Noone, the bid has been accepted but personal talks wont continue tonight because Noone was at the Brighton game, he said on Twitter earlier he was at the AMEX

Carl, any truth in claims that one of Malky's men may have been scouting Airdrie United's Ryan Donnelly today?

really dissapointed, if we failed to bring him in then im sorry they are not backing malky and im starting to worry about thier passion to back him in this window, bring no one in and i feel could be a tough few months:/ hope it proves me wrong by monday! did they reject our bid or was wages a concern

That's isn't a judgement we can make with the information we have. I know this is not the case but I'll use hyperbole to illustrate my point clearly. If the target was Tevez and we missed out then that does not show the board are not backing Malky it simply means the player's demands are too far away from what the club can realistically afford. That isn't lacking ambition that's sensible planning. If we did spend all that money on Tevez then that would just be frivolous. However if we are talking of a low transfer fee and modest wages then you may have a point. However we can not make that judgement yet.

I too, have been asking myself all the above, "BUT" its different now, because we have a great manager who pays attention to detail, and will get what he wants for the good of the team and CCFC.

if its not to be, so be it. IN MALKY WE TRUST.

Yes mate 100% we had him looked at but like Michael Jacobs of Northampton, for the future and not this window

Good answer

are you confindent we will sign these 2 players carl?

Could that striker be Jay Bothroyd

Is the striker loan or perm???!!

I think Carl has told us all he can on this matter,thank you Carl. We all know in today's climate it isn't just transfer fees and wages that cause the deal to stall,there is of course sell on clauses and a bag full of other stuff the agent,player and both clubs need to discuss so it isn't like the old days there is a lot of shit to get through,the players are business men these days so they are going to fight for the best deal possible.....We are not exempt unfortunately.....Every little thing's gonna be alright I say

If it Noone i reckon he said he wanted to go and watch the Brighton game and thats why they could release anything
i hope a deal is done tomorrow or Monday though really would love to see a new signing at Southampton

If its that close carl.Do you think i should go down the shop and get noone on the back of my shirt

So what if a deal wont be completed today?
As long as Malky is bringing in the right people, I will be happy to play the waiting game
Thank you Carl and Annis for revealing some excellent news and updating us and being so straightforward and honest.

If the deal is that close it must be something small. Maybe he wants 30 days holiday pay instead of 25

That is the spirit, it is that close

more than likely the agent is not happy with his own part of the deal leeches to a man

Cheers Carl! My strong belief, as I've shared with Annis, is that the board have a pathway. They didn't invest heavily in the summer as they probably felt (and justifiably so) that the team would take time to gel and perform so why make an astronomical investment then. In effect it could be throwing good money after bad. I've felt that once the team had settled and now based on performance that they will invest significantly over this transfer window to build on the solid foundations that have been laid over the past few month. Malky, VT and TG have built wisely and sensily so far and I believe it will continue and that we could see more significant investment now the reparations have been done to the decimation of the squad from last season.

p.s. now pm me the names of those two players!!!!

Alright boys! I'm at Tranmere Rovers ground at the moment getting on the verge of getting fucked! All I have to say is WELCOME ON BOARD BOYD!!!

Think you're fucked already mate.

great update carl. on a scale of 1-10 what is the chance of us getting this player signed tomorrow?

That is the spirit, it is that close

Or more likely, his agent is just being ............his agent and trying us out!
I would like to bet that however big the money pot is Malky is driving a hard bargain as well, he is obviously a shrewd negotiator.

I'll quote that reply and shove it right up your arse boy! Just you wait. Haha.

Gutted if we don't sign him, can't see it for some reason

I'll quote that reply and shove it right up your arse boy! Just you wait. Haha.

I'll be waiting old man
