Phil didn’t even bother doing a story on it so take that as a no. |  |

Devils advocate would say that’s not the only reason Phil chooses not to run a sorry….. |  | | |

Or it could be the deal's at a delicate stage and conjecture isn't helping. |  | | |

True, true, but if it’s reported elsewhere he’ll normally report that report. | |

I don't believe that for a second to be honest. I'm sure we are ambitious but that just seems unrealistic. |  |

It's like a turd that won't flush this rumour. He'd be a ridiculous signing but I struggle to see it happening, especially at £8m. |  |

A lot can change in a week, Phil. | |

How can we even afford an £8m purchase under FFP? | | | |

As a number 9 not big tough or athletic enough for our system I remember Keane played Jason Scotland up on his own absolutely clueless. | | | |

Possible, but all these stories seem to be a repeat of last week's. I can't see us spending £8m on one player, particularly when the suggestion that we'd pay £3.5m for Simms was dismissed. | | | |

Wonder if this is one where Ashton says we enquire about certain players just to get a feeling of the current market prices? | | | |

Not a chance we are spending 8 million on one player. I’d say max we’ll pay for any player is around 3 million this window or January. Probably why we have potentially missed a few targets but I’m fine with that.
We are not loaded and have ownership that will chuck silly money. We have prudent team in charge who will invest, hence the money spent on ground, and buying young players in the 1-2 million mark that have a resale value.
We don’t have owners with deep pockets who can throw money at stuff but have access to a fund which can invest in us but it has to be sensible and prudent. Basically how a club should be run without the chance of getting into dire financial situation.
I’m happy with that. I would have hated us to pay the quoted Simms fee or the Armstrong fee if 8 million. There are plenty of players that can be attracted good enough for this level without paying inflated fees. |  |

...plus while everybody would jump at the chance of promotion this season, I'd guess the more likely unstated target is to do well, to make waves, to see one or two standout players potentially traded for biggish money next summer and to then be looking at buying these sort of players for a push for the premier league next season? |  |

Plus they can only fund based on our ticket/shirt income.
If Elkan’s followers all buy a shirt we might get somewhere close. |  |

You have to look at it differently than just £8m.
The cost of a transfer is spread over the contract length for FFP, assuming we’d want to sign him on a 4 year contract at least, that would be £2m towards our FFP losses each season and we can lose up to £39m over a three year period.
Certainly doable but whether we’d want to spend that sort of money on him is the bigger question for me. |  |

He'd be different class here, a level above Hirst in goalscoring and movement. | | | |

Do you expect us to bring in another striker? + 3 players like ashton said we were still looking at? | | | |
