I've already said a couple of times in this thread - why would we want Burke anyway? We have two excellent wingers so why would we spend £15m on an unproven Championship winger?

West Brom can have him and we'll spend our money filling positions that need filling or strengthening.

Yep. And yet another weeks passes. And no signings to add to an already threadbare squad.

I think we're going down this season because our chairman/owners are no longer willing to spend money. I also feel they're hoping to be ever so clever by waiting to see if FDB can somehow pull off a miracle by spending f*** all money and yet still keep us up. We won't. We'll go down and we'll deserve to either due to disinterest (see Parish being pre-occupied with karaoke and water ski-ing during pre-season) and or complacency.

I really really hope Parish and the Yanks do sell up. And to owners who are willing to invest, not only in the team and squad but from top to bottom i.e. stadium, infrastructure, academy.

Precisely, its just one 'rumour' from a pretty dodgy source. ' Lets see what actually happens over the next couple of days

I find your attitude depressing. SP is the best chairman CP has had in recent decades. He has rescued the club from disappearing, he has admitted mistakes, he has got us to the EPL, he has helped us stay there for 5 years thus far HE IS A LIFELONG FAN. OK to have few signings SO FAR is disappointing to some degree but you nor I nor anyone outside a tight circle of people know what is going on and to bemoan this that or the other shows a staggering degree of (choose one) 'panic' / 'ignorance' / 'impatience' / 'lack of any understanding'. But then again that's my opinion because as I said no-one knows what actually is going on!
