His injury isn’t as bad as first thought apparently. Hence us now going in again.
Going for him if he’s out for 3 months made no sense. Totally understandable if he’s back on the pitch by October. Especially with an international break coming up anyway.

The 2nd signing still on? |  | | |

If someone's carrying more than a knock it's a gamble no matter how long they're supposed to be 'originally' out for. This just stinks of desperation. |  |

The same time Hirst comes back. Delap could also be channeling his inner Haaland by then. Would be a terrible signing. |  |

Would this one have been the 'mega' name you think was a real outside chance anyway? | | | |

Assuming the terms are still the same. Obligation to buy £30 Million ? Still such a risk imagine if he had a set back which is possible I’m really not sure about this move. |  | | |

He's not back on the pitch in October. He's 'fit' by mid-October. With no match sharpness/practice.
We'll have played a *quarter* of the season before he's even available to kick a ball for us. Joke deal IMO and smacks of desperation. | | | |

This is like buying a car with the engine warning light on. It works but it's either limping or there's an untold bill under the bonnet.
Hope Ashton takes a leaf out of the we buy any car play book if this is one they really think is worth the risk | | | |

No. The big name was always a slim slim possibility and that’s definitely not happening now anyway.
But the other one in a totally different position is also not happening. | |

That’s not to say we couldn’t sign a second player but the player in the other position (non striker) who I was thinking isn’t happening. So it’ll have to be a new name now for a second signing. And j won’t pretend I’ve heard anything other than strikers asides from that one other player. | |

Am guessing the striker one may have been an audacious bid for Toney then given a Saudi deal now in place? | | | |

Getting quite confused now - can we refer to these players as Player A, Player B etc?
Player A being code for Brennan Johnson, obviously... | | | |

In which case that means you can name them now? | |

Fkin Hell, in one post Ashton getting slammed for not getting a striker in, on another signing a striker from Chelsea is desperation.
Good Luck with this lot Ashton | |

so let me get this straight, are you saying the second player does not play the same position as the first player, who is now not joining, but the second player is also now not joining? | |

Quite, but it just feels like people moan for the sake of moaning.
Tbf the opinions are fine, I personally feel we should get a new striker in, but it is the people commenting things like "Questions need to be asked of Mark Ashton", "Why has he left it to the last minute". Just crazy comments from people that dont understand the reality of the situation. Clearly the club wanted a striker but maybe there are no perfect options.
Just trust the process enjoy this season and calm down! [Post edited 30 Aug 2024 13:44]

The very big name is definitely not happening. Was a striker and was very very unlikely. I’m not going to name him.
The other player not a striker is also not happening.
I expect Broja actually does happen | |

But think long term! If he’s that good imagine that even if we nurse him for a few weeks but he becomes an above average Prem striker. Surely worth waiting for. |  |

His status can't have changed since the thorough scans so must be brinkmanship on our part in formally walking away yesterday. | | | |

Any reason you still won't name him even though it definitely not happening now? |  | | |
