Thank fook. With Carlos staying I would have been extremely surprised with that signing.

It's funny how someone sees a random twitter link to someone shit and everyone jumps on it to pound the club about how we've lost the plot despite there being absolutely no truth in it.

Based on how appallingly we’ve conducted business in recent transfer windows, I don’t blame people for thinking the inevitable; especially with appalling signings like Rhodes on the horizon. Our club deserves a good pounding at the moment, we have accepted mediocrity too easily and allowed it to filter through the club at every level.

Shouldn't we know better than believe anything Nixon says? He's consistently wide of the mark on anything involving us.

It’s a rumours message board, let people comment if they want to. People were saying how Lees fits the mould of a typical town signing over the past two seasons and in fairness they were spot on; even more worrying a ‘bullshit rumour’ starts to appear credible due to our seemingly ‘baseless’ recruitment plan

It is what it says on the tin. Nixon is very touch and go as a reliable source. He gets them right, he gets them wrong. But, so does Maynard (despite him being the most reliable source on here by far). The rumours will fizzle out if there’s no substance.

We have desperately needed someone for the past 3 seasons to but the ball in the Net and there can be no denying he can finish. Glen Murray was still scoring goals in the Premier League at 35/36 so there should be a good couple of years left in Jordan yet ( I Hope)

He has a natural instinct for scoring goals. He needs to be given a chance.

Not the most exciting and now dismissed by Maynard, but Lees would definitely be an improvement on what we had this season.

I think you're an idiot and a rubbish poster because you steal purses from old people when they're collecting their pension...

His best days are gone. He is 31 and hasn't scored a decent amount since he was at Blackburn. He managed 15 goals for Wednesday when he was signed. Middlesborough, Norwich and Wednesday havnt managed to get him going, so why would we manage it. We already have 2 strikers in Campbell and ward who aren't prolific, we need to be looking to find another Grant. We need to be looking for a young striker hungry for goals and to improve himself. We certainly shouldn't be looking at someone who is hungry for a last big wage packet. He would typify what we are all about. I certainly won't be buying a season ticket to give all these past it footballers their retirement gift.

Absolutely. I’d rather see a front 3 of Koroma, Rowe & Danny Grant. I’m sure the fans would get behind the youngsters far more than Warg, Rhodes etc who are he for a final payday.

His goals per minute ratio for us must be better than most of our strikers

He has a natural instinct for scoring goals. He needs to be given a chance. I've said that I'm not a fan of bringing back JR, mostly because he can't play the lone striker role - but the squad is likely to have such a huge overhaul this summer that who knows what formation we'll use? Other than LW & DCM I expect we're actively negotiating for players in every position on the park. There's no reason why we'd definitely be looking at keeping the same formations as last year.

I think that some are getting restive when names are being linked with transfers to Town, is due to the likes of Ward and Holmes transfers. When they were mentioned I thought that some agent was just getting players names in the paper to try and raise some interest. I was dumbfounded when the deals were done.
We need to bring in some experience but that does not necessarily mean that they have to be over 30.
We need a captain a leader on the pitch and some pace in the new signings would be a good idea.
If we buy one more ex player we should change the name of the club to Huddersfield Town Old Boys. There is not point in remembering what a player was like when he played for us 5 years or so ago as time moves on. I am slower than I was 5 years ago and I am sure that most footballers over 25 are also slower than they were then. If it was only speed that went down hill it may not be that bad but other parts of the game tend to deteriorate as well. If we then look at their stats and these have also dropped it becomes a risky signing that we don't have much room for in this window (if ever).

He's currently earning about £25k a week. For that, it's a hard pass for Phil, surely.

Bromby should create an account on here, list our targets and sign them depending on the like to dislike ratio I recall when I first arrived on this site & people were demanding en masse that we sign Nile Ranger. I know our recruitment has been hit & miss lately, but some of the stuff on here makes me relieved that we have Leigh Bromby!
