At the press conference when quizzed on Wilson, Coco said: "he is a fantastic, but I think it will be very complicated to get him in. I don’t think it will happen."
So I expect the announcement he's in imminently ...
Colin is now officially a Ram ...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
It sounds like we're referring to Warnock
Marriott linked with Wednesday.....
Ouch.
Colin, in his prime, is one of the worst "Strikers" I've ever had to ensure watch play. We'd be better off putting Zoon up front.
How did this link come to be? We seemed to be moving forward, but this and the Ibe (who I don't think will ever play) seem to be going backwards. I thought we'd finish top 2, but we seem to be preparing for League 1?
The only way things could get any worse if if we brought in Kirk Broadfoot
Probably Kazim-Richards is simply a stop-gap to make up squad numbers until January. Supposedly we are likely to sign Dursun then as his club would not release him now without a replacement. That is the only way this signing makes any kind of sense at all. I'd be happy for Marriott to leave based on what he has achieved in his time with us but ONLY if we got in somebody else to replace him.
I thought that Cocu had been given time and the plan was to develop the youth? Now we seem to have reverted to must sign a player, any player..........
I’d say that’s DET 1-0 Desi’s mate.
Hoping for a late equaliser ....

Agreed. Don't forget I did predict we'll get Colin and no one else.
Based on our current forward options CKR has to be third choice. If Marriott is allowed to leave and Conor Wickham arrives i'd be happier with that. ( Seems unlikely)
I agree with what was mentioned above, we wait until Jan and make another attempt for the Turkish striker.
Theme certainly is Turkish at present. Cocu managed in Turkey, linked to player from Fenerbache last season and now linked to Dursan.
Right, I know what I'm ordering from Deliveroo!!!!

I knew you would.
Marriot gone then
Do we have a player in the building thats going to get in to double figures (League Goals)
Probably not
Adios Marriott - see him banging the goals in if he has a strike partner at Wednesday.
Conor Wickham to come in?
Wickham would be a big upgrade on Richards IMO
Well so far we're in a much weaker position than when the season started.
If we're going with a Turkish theme then Boris Johnson up front would be an improvement on Richards.
I didn't think it was possible we'd find ourselves in a position where Zoon left, and we were weaker with the replacement(s) but here we are.
On current showing I might have to revise my prediction of top 2 (which was based on us bringing in some good players to help the youth) to a relegation scrap again.

I think a top 2 finish was very optimistic 9earchange, but I do like your belief, think we need more of that on the forum!
The injuries to our squad haven't helped our cause as the results have indicated. It is frustrating that we have (or had) a decent striker in Marriott but needed to play to his strengths to get the best out of him. Argument to this could be both Frank and Cocu have questioned his attitude in public.
Whether we're pinning our hopes on Bobby Duncan ( Waghorn, CKR and Duncan) or somebody else we'll have to wait and see once the transfer window slams shut.
Anyone know what the rules are now regarding signing out of contract players after this transfer window?
Some interesting deals elsewhere - Douglas to Blackburn. Blackburn this season's darkhorse for promotion?
Flint heading to Wednesday possibly. For a club that's broke,had a transfer embargo and been hit with a -12 point deduction they're not doing too bad with their acquisitions.
Cardiff possibly snaring Wilson (Sorry FinlandRam, I was informed our bid was accepted)
Knockaert to Forest - wonder if he'll have the same impact as he did at Brighton under Hughton?
Talk of Borini returning to to Swans - who was another on my list of possible CF targets to consider, but I don't think he's a 'target man.' If he can perform anything like he did last time they'd be another team to consider for play-off positions possibly?
Just to put the Richards thing into perspective, he's been a flop in the same league we signed Emanuel Villa from. Emanuel Villa who was considered so good his manager threatened to resign when he was sold to us, Emanuel Villa who then went back to Mexcio and continued to dominate the league, scoring roughly every other game consistently over several seasons.
This is a ludicrous signing, anybody would think it was April 1st. He's not one for the future, he's not one the kids are going to learn from, he's been found out at every level he's played. I'm struggling to find any positives.
