Blues still in advanced talks with trio of targets

[Clinton Baptiste]

Browns quote was 'the whole place would be wow'. Don't think most of these names mentioned would do that. JET has the talent but clearly not the application.

CP on JET just now...

I won't repeat the exact response I got when I mentioned this a few weeks back but I think it's safe to say he won't sign for us!

 

[Angell Delight]

For it to be a "wow" signing it will be someone who has previously been an established Premier League player.

Yep agreed. None of the players mentioned here are giving me the wow factor.

Ben Watson from Watford? Rumours of going to Sunderland, but no bids yet

I'd just be happy if they're under 30 and capable of playing 40+ games a season. At this rate, Ron is going to have to adapt his FF plan again to incorporate a sheltered housing scheme for the players.

The full quote:

"I’ve been text by a player, he’s trying to get out of his club and if it happens then I think the whole place will say wow these guys mean business,”

I think people are getting way ahead of themselves as to what Wow constitutes.

If we signed a decent ex-Championship player people would still say wow these guys mean business. Not sure why people think it has to be a premiership player.

Because wow to you might mean differently for others. We've just signed an ex premier and Championship player and when the deal was being discussed, PB never mentioned WOW at any point.

That also goes for AF, Cox and MAF. At no time was the word wow used......... Just saying :winking:

 

[Lord Football]

of course "wow" may not relate to the player, but to the general quality of player we've picked up over the summer....

Good point(s) ........... I would suggest that the "wow" relates to the overall team/squad that has been amassed once this mystery player comes aboard.

........... and I wonder if this mystery player is being mentioned to Lenny. "Here son, howay, with you alongside Mr Mystery in midfield, I tell thee Lenny you'd be best sticking rite here. Now bonny lad n'er mind your agent, just sign at the bottom."

I think now the full quote is out there - less of the player is a "wow", but more "wow, these guys mean business". Thats 2 completely different things and now could be anyone decent really from anywhere.

I'd even put someone like JET into a "wow, these guys mean business" at a stretch.

Including a player who was useless (apart from 2 games against us) for a team in the same league as us who nearly got relegated really is a stretch. In fact I think clubs would think the opposite of 'wow, these guys mean business' if we sign JET.

JET would be a decent temporary replacement for Ranger. He scored ten goals in his first 21 games for Gillingham last season. Then hopefully by the time he's lost interest Ranger will be back. :thumbsup:
