I'm talking the situation. Other offers etc. We are in a good position blah blah.
We could be being used as a vehicle to up his kudos.
When you're as desperate for players as we are and we've had all the posturing & bluster about needing to sign players early, every player and agent all over the place knows they can use the club as "the jam in the sandwich".
All they'll be interested in is getting a better deal for themselves because of our situation. O'Grady (Chris or Paul) could let any other team know that CFC are interested because we've shot our mouths off about talking to un-named players;
they are that secret footballer. Once again, the dumb-witted public statements by big-time Ashley can hurt us by improving the contract offers of potential targets from other clubs.
Just STFU and announce the signings as and when...

Ashley has just tweeted me back to suggest its "110% Wrong" about O'Grady.

110% wrong? It's no wonder the club's in the state it is with this mathematical wizard in charge.
Beat me to the punch!
