Noted. :thumbsup:

I love the fact that people actually think that Kightly might come here. Don't get me wrong, he'd be a great signing for us, but there are Championship clubs after him, he's not coming here.
According to CP, absolutely no hope in hell of us signing Kightly.
Firstly he wouldn't want to drop down to league one and secondly no way could we ever afford his wages.
Well don't I look a **** now! But I'll take egg on my face for that signing. :happy:

I am not taking this as any more than Phil's annual attempt to deflect pressure onto Ron in the wake of a quiet pre-season in terms of signings.
He tends to do this every summer. Make a big noise about going for a big name, then when it doesn't happen it looks like he has been making loads of effort only to be foiled by Ron not getting his chequebook out. Classic deflection tactic and a clever one. He certainly knows how to use the media to his advantage.
You miss my point. IIRC he never talked about Cox and Ferdinand before they signed, they were a pleasant surprise to most fans. What he is likely to be up to with Kightly is deliberately talking up his interest, deflecting fans' frustrations at lack of activity towards Ron, before getting another deal over the line a little bit further along (possibly Forrester?).
Relax, I'm not slagging him off. In fact, it's a pretty clever bit of management.

Ricey clearly got his wires scrambled. Glad that we poached Kightly though ..........
Someone shoot me NOW!
Where are you? :smile: :gun:
I'll call up the artillery and get them to lob some shells your way.Someone shoot me NOW!
What is it with bloody Millwall? They came in for Kightly at 5:15 and we signed him st 5:30
