Don’t be too sure. According to media reports we tried to get Chaplin - AND failed. If we can’t attract players away from a club in debt like Coventry are then it doesn’t look good. But by 5 o’clock tomorrow we will see.
We decided against him and opted for others instead, one who we have signed and one who is likely to sign tomorrow
Where have you read that - or who told you that? Nothing in the media to suggest what you say here is true.
Let's be reyt, we were never going to pay 500k for a backup who generally couldn't get in the portsmouth side.
If Chaplin doesn't want to join us, I would prefer he didn't There will be players out there who want to be part of our journey and want to play for the club and management team. Still think we need two though Our squad numbers balance is the same as it was before Bradders left. Thought we needed extra then and my opinion has not changed.
We tried a swap deal, although I’m not sure the player involved. Doesn’t suggest we were pinning all our hopes on him. Sure it got Cov paying more and certainly would have got the agents client a better deal if Coventry thought we were mad keen on him too....
Some really good striker signings going on. Joe Mason to Portsmouth, Jamie Ward to Charlton and Zack Clough to Rochdale. Wouldn’t have minded any of those 3 here to support Woodrow and Moore.
I thought this 'ere loan window shut at 5pm today. There's still deals being announced on the BBC's transfer page. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/transfers
Jamie Walker to Peterborough is a good one, for sure, and Zack Clough to Rochdale is surprising, as he was a stand-out performer even in the Premiership with Bolton. Didn't work for him at Forest, but that's quite a come down.
