At least it seems something positive has come out of that shameful last 60 minutes on Wednesday. Instead of sitting with their thumbs up their arses until 31st August and then making a derisory (cute) bid which may or may not make it in time (which was clearly their intention from the quotes in the Sentnil) they have been stung into action. I wonder if this is a sign that Rowett has won the first battle in the war against Fatman and Throbin. It smacks very much of someone in authority coming out and saying 'Just get the fucker done. NOW'. Fatman and Throbin has much nicer ring to it than the Pizza Boys! 😁

But yes it does appeal to the inner schoolboy doesn't it?

Hope he's registered in time to play tomorrow.
Throw him straight in.

Getting him in before Badou fucks off - big change in position, someone's had a word. Sounds more like 20 thousand people have had a word. You might not actually be that far from the truth there, maybe the reaction from the crowd on Wednesday, has had some small part to play in bringing his signing forward.

I think we should scrap the winger system as they don’t contribute enough. Woods signing would be massive and a real boost maybe give us the chance to go back to a 433 with the right players something like ........................Jack..................... Bauer.....Martina...Williams...Sam ......................Woods................... ............Allen...............Etebo........ .........................Ince..................... ...........Berahino.......Afobe........... Then watch us fly With the players we've got at the moment, I like that team, given that politically, Allen has to play. Big question marks over the centre backs there though and it's going to take a brave man to drop Ryan. I don't really see what we've got to lose by offering James Collins a contract for 12 months. I'd describe that formation as a 442 diamond. Only 2 outfield players in that side from last season too, if you don't include Berahino. 👍

So now we wait to see if the dastardly duo have managed to get Woody in time for tomorrow

I sincerely hope I am not right. If I am right then: 1. It proves they were consciously prepared to wait, risking club, squad, manager and supporter damage with a weak midfield, by dilly dallying until the deadline. 2. All positive step change in any business should filter down from the directors (hint is in the name) and not float from the bottom up. 3. It proves the empty overhaul statement is just that and that no lessons have been learned whatsoever. I'm hoping Spinksy has got this one wrong.

On paper that system looks workable can only work if the fullbacks 'bomb on' - we know Bauer will,we know Eric can't. Clucas we don't know but has to be worth a look otherwise be happy with Edwards & Bauer at left back if we have too Bojan can cover Ince

We need to recruit people who are ready and eager to play not another Clucas or Martina. I hope Woods falls into this category. We have enough Mercenaries and Prima Donnas already.

I'd play Bojan ahead of Berahino just off and behind Afobe. He'd score and create more.

How on earth can you put Clucas and Martina in this category when they haven’t even played yet? What a ridiculous, idiotic post!

Neither Clucas or Martina were fit enough to play. I was not classing them as either mercenaries or Prima Donnas.

If the Pizza boys are going by their usual standards there’s no way they’ve got the deal over the line in time to beat the deadline.
Go ahead pizza boys, make my day.

Still no official announcement about Woods signing then. Looks like we've missed the deadline for tomorrow's game.

Lots of bitterness on twitter from Brentford fans must be an indicator. They’re not getting we’re a bigger club and he’s from the area.

Have we seen anything to suggest either of them are not eager to play for us? To be fair I think the comment was more a criticism of the transfer process than the players. You have to question, regardless of the players quality, the decision to sign injured players when we need the players fit and raring to go now. Clucas is a good player no doubt, Ive seen very little of Martina, though when I have I saw nothing too inspiring, and I know zero about Woods. Once they play we can judge.
