Lee Buchanan and this Ashby guy 08:50 - Jul 29 with 2229 views | magicdaps10 | This one is spot on Buchanan fee and all personal were agreed with Werder and Buchanan in his team, Swansea asked if the deal could be finalised towards the end of August and Werder were happy with this......Birmingham came in and matched the fee and terms atleast. It's all very strange but certainly ties in with the story that Cravatt is putting in and a delay in announcing it. Ashby, Duff is supposedly looking at playing him as right handed Centre Back. | |

It's not good, I know I am going to have pelters for it but it's bang in regards Buchanan. Only thing I will say, I don't think it has anything to do with us selling anyone. | |

You would think that being here sp long they would have learnt but if you are tight it's hard to lose that trait. | | | |

It kind of tallies with this new investment, not showing it with companies houses.........i can only think from what other posters are saying, it's not wanting to show others what investment we have and leaving it late to the window and then announcing the investment to cover a late spending spree to account for the spend. That is only my assumption though. | |

Trouble with that is, we will be 4 games into the season. And we really need a tidy start | |

"cash for Buchanan will be from that source" That would be pointless as he has signed for Birmingham. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

But they didn't know that would happen did they, especially after supposedly having "an agreement". | | | |

Harsh reality of football, if you target a player and he wants to come sign them up, as a player/club I don't blame the transfer being agreed with Birmingham, we could have backed out. As a club we pussy foot around too much. We still haven't settled the Martin departure, yes its at arbitration, but surely a compromise could have been reached. Josh Key fee not agreed and not settled another one. IMO all this is holding us back this window, to say our incomings are dependant on Piroe leaving is just ridiculous. The Morris investment alone should cover the shortfall in running costs this season. Then the significant investment of Coleman and the investment of Cravatt unless he has joined the board without investing any capital. We are just dithering too much. | | | |

If they know that money is coming and we have some in the bank then all this dithering is cost the club. As I previously said, in the end the miserly approach could end up costing us more than we gain. If we end up not signing these players and we have to sign inferior qualty, what happens if we get relegated? If they continue to dither but they still sell players the only direction we are going is? | | | |
