Hughes Failing to Build on Bridge!

Well today's big news is our extortionate bid for Santa Cruz has been turned down by Blackburn. In my eyes this is a blessing, there is a difference in paying over the odds and just getting ripped off.

Hughes has also admitted city have failed with a joint bid of the average Scott Parker and the disruptive Craig Bellamy.
We made a double bid which was rejected and we haven't got back to the table on that one."
Zola doesn't want to sell his 'best' players! Also Hughes doesn't think we have made a bid for Given and didn't elaborate on whether we would be doing so in the near future! So 8 days in, we have still only signed one player, which was before the Forest debacle. I think we will have to be more patient than 1st anticipated.

There is some worry about the Pompey game as they have a tinpot ground, and have had to bring in giant blowers to heat up their frozen pitch, hopefully with rising temperatures the pitch will be ready for sat.

Radical changes are needed, MH cannot handle them or attract them... We seriously need to consider Jose Morihno sooner rather than later.

Wouldn't be such a bad thing if the Pompey pitch was frozen. We need at least one new defensive midfielder quickly

haha, i did have those thoughts, give us an extra week to buy players.#

I am just anxious to see us get a much needed result against a side we certianly should be beating

Cooke and Co have had 4 months to work out who is needed via a Hughe's wish list.
My guess is that we having stated we will not use Agents we are struggling badly.
Cooke and Co have no football background and therefore no football contacts.
All negogiations must be conducted v$a the Middle East for final approval.
The decision chain is laughable and unworkable within a short window so all remains quite on the western front and will probably remain so.
