Fulham want Lansbury.

Good for them

by GSC Fri 16 May 2014, 1:23 pm

Hardings off to the MLS for some reason

by NickisBHAFC Fri 16 May 2014, 1:34 pm

FFS. Love seeing him play against us, his record at the AMEX is quite impressive. That consists of 3 games, 3 yellow cards, 2 foul throws, god knows how many fouls and miss passes, and never reaching the 2nd half of football.

by GSC Mon 19 May 2014, 1:03 pm

Linked with Fryatt for the 546th time

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 19 May 2014, 3:10 pm

Lukas Podolski still doesnt know who that is

by GSC Mon 19 May 2014, 3:11 pm

Judging by Saturday he still doesnt know where Wembley is either

Pearce plz

by GSC Tue 27 May 2014, 2:07 pm

Apparently we've made a bid for some 2nd Division Dutch striker.

Woop.

by Derbymanc Tue 27 May 2014, 3:56 pm

Afternoon GSC, what are you expecting for the next season from your good selves, and how do you think Pearce will do/how long he'll last ?

by GSC Tue 27 May 2014, 4:10 pm

I expect a youth revolution given the success of Darlow, Lascelles and Paterson last season, and to a lesser extent Osborn (had some bright performances). Pearce's biggest impact should be in uniting a club torn by Billy and cos desire to seek revenge on everyone he felt wronged him in his first stint. Deadwood is in the process of being shifted, and the club rebuilt after nearly everyone got sacked.

I actually like Pearce as a manager, thought he did a good job with the U21s. His last tournament was abysmal, but he made a semi final and a final the 2 tournaments prior. I also don't think he needs to be anything special, if we can add a striker that isn't useless (see Cox, Henderson, Blackstock, Derbyshire (for 2.99 years), Tudgay etc) the squad is good enough to be up around the playoff places, barring a crazy run of injuries again. Stability is the key really, Leicester showed that.

by Derbymanc Tue 27 May 2014, 4:15 pm

I think Pearce is okay, but have a horrible feeling for you that it's been done to placate the fans. I am hoping that you get it together though as it's always a better season when we're close together.

by cherriesfna Tue 27 May 2014, 4:19 pm

Happy u let Jara go, completely useless

by GSC Tue 27 May 2014, 4:21 pm

Thats why I was rooting for QPR Whistle

by Derbymanc Tue 27 May 2014, 4:28 pm

Good excuse GSC

Woop.

I'm guessing that must be Veldwijk? Couple of midtable Eredivisie sides interested in him too. Would probably be better off showing he can do it there first, the Dutch second division is awful.

by GSC Sun 08 Jun 2014, 1:21 pm

Pearce told SSN we're announcing 2 signings tomorrow apparently.

Pretty sure 1 is Peltier.

by GSC Mon 09 Jun 2014, 6:36 am

Pretty sure I'm wrong. Apparently 2 strikers, Veldwijk (****s sake) and Fryatt (****s sake)

by GSC Mon 09 Jun 2014, 10:24 am

Seems 1 will be Fryatt on a free. Other is up in the air

by NickisBHAFC Mon 09 Jun 2014, 3:54 pm

FFS i really wanted to sign Fryatt.

by GSC Mon 09 Jun 2014, 5:13 pm

Why? Hes pretty average

by GSC Mon 09 Jun 2014, 8:56 pm

Fryatt signs

by cherriesfna Mon 09 Jun 2014, 9:43 pm

Fryatts decent , just stay away from Wilson

by GSC Mon 09 Jun 2014, 9:48 pm

We scouted him already and passed.

Cov want 3m

by NickisBHAFC Mon 09 Jun 2014, 10:36 pm

Fryatt will easily score 20 odd goals. Forest again looking to be big spenders, wonder if they bottle and choke again.

Wish we signed Fryatt Sad

by GSC Tue 10 Jun 2014, 10:31 am

Veldwijks returned to Holland to mull over the offer.

So thats a no then

by NickisBHAFC Tue 10 Jun 2014, 5:22 pm

You don't need anymore strikers. You have the best striker in the league Matty Fryatt. Him and Simon Cox upfront will be the next Vokes and Ings i recon.

You've spent more than us thus far

by GSC Tue 10 Jun 2014, 6:13 pm

And Rhodes is the best striker in the league by a country mile.

by GSC Tue 10 Jun 2014, 6:23 pm

Eastick says the Veldwijk deal could go through in the next 24 hours. Medical passed and deal agreed with club and player. He asked for time to mull it over, which is fair enough for a 22 year old moving abroad I suppose

By bringing in some random player on a free, who will be on lower wages than Fryatt?

by GSC Tue 10 Jun 2014, 6:56 pm

Alright the same as us then

by TopoftheChops Tue 10 Jun 2014, 9:10 pm

Matty Fryatt is a great signing. I heard koren and burke may join forest aswell

by GSC Tue 10 Jun 2014, 10:03 pm

Eastick already shot the Koren rumor down.

Doesn't make sense with Osborn and potentially Blake coming through.

The Burke rumor is 2 years old. Rather find another in the mold of Paterson. Abdoun needs selling first

by NickisBHAFC Tue 10 Jun 2014, 10:37 pm

Burke is a poor Championship player.

Koren is class, would be a top top signing.

by GSC Wed 11 Jun 2014, 11:14 am

Spurs and Liverpool want Darlow it seems.

Not overly concerned if we lose him for a big fee, De Vries is proven at this level, have to be ripped off though really.

by GSC Thu 12 Jun 2014, 5:25 pm

Lars Veldwijk signs. One for the future

by GSC Tue 17 Jun 2014, 2:54 pm

John Marshall joins as Head of Recruitment. Chief Scout at Fulham, then Senior scout at the FA prior.

Tranmere away in the ~~annual waste of time~~ COC

by GSC Wed 18 Jun 2014, 9:13 am

Blackpool at home first day, Cardiff into the playoffs at home on the last day.

Derby in September and Jan

by GSC Fri 20 Jun 2014, 8:06 am

Anyway, getting back to annual crippling disappointment, we signed Louis Laing on a free

by Derbymanc Fri 20 Jun 2014, 9:25 am

At least you've got news GSC it's all gone quiet up our way :-( although i'm living in hope that it's because we're going after some proper players rather than buying for buyings sake.

by GSC Fri 20 Jun 2014, 9:26 am

Well West Brom rejected a bid shy of 1m for Thorne from you lot.

Also the rumor that you had a bid of 5m rejected for McCormack amused me.

Pretty sure we need to sell to buy at this point.
