    Obviously we need a LWB, but I hope if we sign one they're not a pure defender who offers little going forward. As frustrating as TC is, the pace and width he offers helps us up the tempo and play better football.

    Echo the above. No point signing JRS unless we can somehow sign a LB, change our system and inject some creativity into the middle of the park.

    None of those things look likely.

    Might allow us to play Apter at RWB and TC up top with Dykes though

    JRS would be wasted in this system.
    Agreed. Would like to see him and campbell in a 433 but not at wingback! Even TC is wasted

    Throw everything at signing Marc Leonard, then loan out Anderson

    Mbick has 33 senior appearances, 1 goal against Cray Valley, 1 in the FA Cup for Colchester, 1 in the EFL Trophy and 6 in League 2. Hardly prolific.

    i am not saying the potential isn’t there, but can we afford to wait and see? If we go down this year his value will plummet.

    if Brighton are offering a deal around 5m, with a sell on and loan back I’d be of a mind to take it on the basis that the fee is invested in the team.
    Hope this doesn’t come across in any way, but have you seen any of his performances this season?

    Mbick’s game, especially at Colchester where is leads the line, is so much more than goals. And by the way, some of his goals have been fantastic. He’s been outstanding for them, shown real quality and ability to hold off and beat his man, hold up the ball and bring others into play.

    At times he’s looked like prime “cheat code” Aneke and I mean that in the most praise possible.

    At his age, he’s got potential to go and play in Premier League, and that’s why Brighton are interested.
    Aneke?! I thought Mbick was talented!? 

    Why do we need to be recalling any striker, we’ve just bought Dykes and have Matty Godden coming back which is almost like a new signing. If we really want to be recalling anyone it’s Alex Mitchell, having a decent season at L1, played a decent chunk for us last season and could deffo plug a few holes in what is a defence with the structural integrity of a fucking popadom.

    No new LWB then.

    We now enter game 3 where we could have had a proper LWB in situ. Yes we won 1 of those matches without one but that was because the oppo were down to 9 men. 

    And if we sign 1 later this week I doubt whether NJ will throw them in against Millwall at the Den. 

    So that will be 4 games gone.

    Tick tock tick tock. 

    We could have had Bidwell, Purrington, Reach, Doughty and others on NYD without many problems. Why four games into January are we still without a LWB that we have been short of since September? 
    How do you know we could have had them? Doughty was never going to choose us over Wall for a start and Purrington really!

    I know the scouting bods love to look at XG.. but do any of them ever look at IQ?

    Something that is severely lacking with this bunch!
  • This window we had to be sharp & get in players quickly. They’ve totally failed and to be without a left back is frankly amateurish. How do we expect to win games without players in their own positions? Not good enough! Now the whole world knows we are desperate for a left back so good luck with that!

    Do you guys know there’s a Mbick thread?

    Might free up some space on here for incoming rumours, just saying.
    Which ones are they ?

    Jones rolling his ankle, Edward’s out for ages, Burke and Bell made of glass. Gonna have a busy week next week getting those panic loans on isn’t he. 
    That 4 I said we need on Saturday could be even more after that crap

    If Tanto and Apter were to go out on loan, what faith would that give people that the correct additions would be added this window?

    People like to poke fun at Golfie on here, but all the talk around me in the covered end tonight was disbelief at the fact we're 20 days into the window and haven't signed a Left Back yet.

    Get a left back, change the system.
