deyres42 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I know the answer to this but if the embargo has been lifted wby haven't we, the fans been informed? Not something you would want to make a song and dance about I'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 If Craig Davies and Holloway is correct, then SC looks like he has had to get his cheque book out AGAIN. I don't get why he has to wait for the inevitable instead of doing it at the beginning of the season. We have lost valuable support, not only from true supporters, but stay aways as well. I thought he was a business man, and should therefore know you have to speculate to accumulate. You're the first person to mention Craig Davies that I've seen. If we've not been paying teams for their loan players what's the likelihood Wigan will give us another? He's scored 1 in 38. Makes McKay look like Suarez.

Look at Davies's actual stats rather than lazy made up figures. 8 starts for Wigan 3 goals. 32 appearances off the bench. 12 starts for Preston, 5 goals, 3 appearances off the bench. He has pedigree in England McKay doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has pedigree in England McKay doesn't. Suppose so. I'd imagine we'll be taking on all of Holloway's wages - doubt Fleetwood would loan him otherwise (:censored: me, we're loaning players from Fleetwood...) and Davies won't be on peanuts either, and seeing as he's been getting on, we'd also be paying them a bit. The more I think about it, the less I can imagine Wigan would loan us two strikers at the same time. Hope we have enough left for a midfielder...

oafc1955 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Embargo still not lifted according to Robbo with Holloway and Gerrard poised to sign. I hope they're not nicked from under our noses....why is it that everything done at this club is always at the last minute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) So: Ripley Croft Clarke Gerrard Burgess McLaughlin Fane Banks Flynn Holloway McKay Reads a lot better but it'd be much improved with another centre mid and a left mid.

Because we are now in an open transfer window...if we leave it until the last minute as per usual we'll end up searching the bottom of the barrel ending up with teams unwanted cast offs like at the beginning of the season!

bozman Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I spoke briefly yesterday to someone connected with another League 1 club. He said he believed that the club's embargo has been lifted but the club hasn't lifted the embargo on Robinson. I didn't get a chance to ask exactly what he meant by that e.g. Has Corney decided he will sign players himself or is Robinson on his way out so not being allowed to sign players ?

Id grass em up if they havent paid us yet sorry if i'm being thick but I don't follow. Why would they owe us money for their home game? Isn't it more money we'd owe for tickets we sold to our fans for their game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Given that both Holloway and Gerrard look like Corney-influenced signings, I can't imagine an embargo on Robinson is the reason we haven't brought in anybody so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case he probably wouldn't want them to sign until the day before the next game to save himself a few extra quid. I seem to remember the first anybody knew about Gerrard signing last year was when he boarded the coach to Shrewsbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember the first anybody knew about Gerrard signing last year was when he boarded the coach to Shrewsbury. To be fair, he was returning to a club he'd just left, think we wanted to keep it quiet. I'd imagine their manager would know Gerrards weaknesses, traits etc. It worked a treat too.
