There's always lots of speculation, 90% generated by agents. Might be good to have 1 thread.
I don't understand the speculation that has linked us with Adam Matthews from Sunderland, Adam Maher from AZ Alkmaar and Liam Kelly from Livingstone. Matthews is a RB where we have Furlong, Rangel and Kakay Maher is a midfielder where, even if Freeman goes, we're not short of options. Kelly is a keeper. We have Lumley, Ingram and Dieng, unless the latter goes to Glasgow Rangers.

Agree that it's strangely worded at the top of his article, but further down makes more sense where he states that the two are unlinked, and that wells is only oone of the options;
"They are, however, exploring the possibility of bringing in another forward by the 5pm deadline.
On Thursday morning a number of potential deals were being discussed, including a possible return for Wells from Burnley."
McKenna bid was made as we have a little money to spend and it needs to be invested in someone we can potentially sell on.
A 22 year old CB who has already played for his country and in Europe seems a sound investment and worth putting £3m into.
That move hasn't come off so we have decided to park the money and wait for the next investment opportunity. It's a really sensible way to run things. We as fans have to realise that the Transfer kitty isn't there to be spent, it's there to be invested
I'm not sure you can judge the club on a reported wage you've deduced from reading around and a transfer that hasn't happened.
Oh word? What've we all been doing on here for the last twenty years then?
Look if Warbs is the messiah I'll be as happy as anyone but I'm not sure why anyone's resisting the (pretty obvious?) suggestion that the club's business isn't currently matching what we were saying repeatedly and at length (sorry sorry, deducing from speculation) only weeks ago. I'm not doom-mongering, I still assume the numbers add up... hopefully, but I've lost the thread of it at this point.

First par - I've told you before, if you want to believe I'm making this sht up based on assumptions I make from reading the internet in my back bedroom then fine, but it's not true.

Second par - Agree with every word.
Sigh OK look if you know something concrete that's fine and I don't doubt your credibility - have never done - but maybe you could indicate in advance when you're about to play the secret squirrel ITK card cos I assume you're not claiming everything you post on here is straight from the horses mouth with no speculation deduction or what have you. I'm not going to psychically know whether it's blogger or newsman I'm talking to.

We're agreeing basically. I'm just being a dick because I've spent all morning reading that Luongo has gone for free and we're paying Wells £30k a week and it's wound me up because it's based on nothing, and people hammer the club with it based on nothing.
Got a chiropractor appointment at 1230 so I'll be in a much better mood after that. Apologies.

When you've got a spine like mine and you spend 12 hours a day in front of a bloody computer or on the phone then the things those violent bastards can do in 40 minutes is better than any sex.

A chiropractor? The one I saw many moons ago seemed hell bent on crippling me.
I never went near one again, but I hope you come out in one piece - and cheer up.

the point is, the two things don't have to be mutually exclusive.
Shall I suggest how much you are paying them? i have a figure in mind that I just made up. Without add-ons??

On that subject (and completely unrelated to the OP) - this makes for interesting reading.
McKenna sounds like a good player but if it means Big Tone stays then it could be a blessing. I was well impressed with Hall at Stoke but if he’s fit for 30 games this season I’d be surprised.

Worth every penny I've spent on mine. My spine was S shaped!
Mind you, the previous chiropractor I went to was not worth it!
Stoke spending £6 million on Cameron Carter-Vickers from Spurs. Not sure if thats vastly over priced or he is some kind of wonderkid and I missed the days he played well.

I was talking to a colleague earlier, saying the Championship is slowly moving towards stupid transfer prices (although not yet the level of Harry Maguire at £80m).
Getting to a stage where professional football has no basis in reality.
