Thanks for the great work as usually over the transfer window.
I don't envy your work but I like everyone else appreciate it.
The whole window has been a shambles but at least we can all concentrate on football for a bit. 👍.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks buddy. I've never been so glad for the window to close, I don't think it's as bad as some people are making out but it was certainly a massive letdown and the same mistakes must not, no they can not be allowed to be repeated in January and next summer, although during January it is really difficult to get the players you want rather than players that their clubs don't want.}

Well done ed and welcome back. am just surprised there was no plan in the event dembelle left to bring in a striker last season the 3 of them were injured and we had to put Sinclair in.

{Ed007's Note - Our plan for the long term was -and hopefully it still is - Nick Powell but it would have been very difficult to get Wigan to sell during this window or the back-up was a years loan for Shane Long. The way Dembele played it there was no time or point in trying to sign Powell and my hunch is that Rodgers just didn't fancy Shane Long.}

If THIS board won't give BR what he wants, they won't help ANY manager.

Pity Lawell didn’t put in as much effort.

Is Powell any good?

He was a prospect at Man Utd a few years back but haven't heard much about him since.

{Ed007's Note - He made the wrong choice going to Man Utd (Neil Lennon tried to bring him here at the same time) and if Rodgers could get Powell's head right he would be a sensational player for us, he's a genuine talent and according to Ed001 is one of the best, if not THE best technically gifted players to ever come through Crewe's academy - and that's some achievement when you consider Crewe have had one of the top academies in England for years under Dario Gradi.}

Do you not think we could be priced out of a move for him if he has a good season Ed? Is he predominantly a striker, centre mid or attacking midfield?

{Ed007's Note - Powell is out of contract next summer and he can play both as a No.10 and as a striker.}

Cheers Ed well that's good news may be in with a chance come Jan/ July.

{Ed007's Note - Fingers crossed 🤞

Best wishes to you and your wife ED. I know it may sound crass but I hope yesterday went okay for you both.
If we are interested in Powell then I hope we are a lot more professional in the way we handle it than we have been in this window.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks, Gerry.}

Can I add my hope that you and your wife are able to get through this difficult time .

The thing that most people forget is that no matter how financially rich we think we are . We are really the paupers shopping for targets we aim for . We have no chance if the financial heavyweights of the. championship eye our targets . It is damn hard and only for the French boy, I would have been very happy .
Our problem for the last 10 yrs and longer is once we get a good player the vultures come and sign him.
