Olly Lee ( Robert's son) of Luton linked with us in the Sun today.
26 year old midfielder whose only stint above League Two was with Birmingham a few years ago until this year. I'll ask my Luton supporting friends as I can't claim to know much about him, but he doesn't feel like he would be an inspired signing.
Would prefer his brother! But once again, midfield isn’t the problem- it’s not where needs strengthening!
Dodoo seems to have similar characteristics to Fosu but can't get any game time. He has speed so must be really shit in training. KR has said he wants a pacy striker but those rumoured do not fit the bill.

Former u21 player Kurtis Cumberbatch is being linked with various FL clubs. He's now with Harrow Borough, we signed him when he was about 18 after Watford released him.

Anyone else think that Kashi and maybe even Bauer got helpful injuries for the regime? A month out that concludes at the start of January, no chance of an injury before dear old Roly starts his next clear out.
Hopefully a sale goes through before then and maybe I shouldn't eat so much cheese as it leads to obvious paranoia.

What are the odds that without a takeover, Holmes decides he has had enough, and asks to leave? I have to figure someone is going to make an offer for him in Jan, no?
If a potential takeover really has reached a critical stage then surely Roly is not going to spend a penny on any new signings? I expect it will be make do and mend unless we get a new moneybags owner in time to do something.

Jena's French left-wing defender Guillaume Cros (22) is looking for kicker information in talks with the English third-party club Charlton Athletic. ...
4 Club career
Guillaume Cros is on the list of high-class clubs. The left-wing defender of FC Carl Zeiss Jena is interested in the federal Ligist FC Augsburg and second Ligist Jahn Regensburg among others. The Frenchman should also have played a role in the focus of racing Strasbourg and FC Basel. Jena would probably call a transfer sum in the middle six-digit range

If he's good enough then fair enough. I just don't know that left back is a huge priority. Obviously just because we've heard about this doesn't mean there aren't other targets in positions we need that we just haven't heard about.
Apart from striker, where else do people think we need reinforcements, assuming we keep everyone in the squad?
For me it's a tough one because somewhere like left back you have Jamie Mascoll who looks just about up to the level. Plus Sarr has covered well there. In theory we also have Lewis Page.
Right back you have Konsa and Dijksteel, though I think Solly desperately needs some competition/respite. If a potential first choice right back comes along then great (this is assuming Konsa stays, if he leaves we need a RB). But we should really only be looking at someone who could come in and put Solly's position under threat.
Central midfield, we're never going to know just how good Dijksteel is at this level until he's played there. It's ridiculous that he hasn't played in midfield in the league yet, and I'd dare say he's never played in midfield for the first team full stop. He looks to have the ability to cover for Kashi, with Aribo the natural back up to JFC. One more in there might not hurt, but again they'd need to be immediate first team quality if they're going to jump ahead of the young players.
It's a tough one. And obviously January isn't the best time to be buying.

Uhmm
If it's just another shifting around of a network asset that no one else actually wants then no thank you.

January is not the time to rebuild a team, but it is exactly the right time to strengthen if you are in the shit or in with a chance of promotion.
It also means that teams are happy to unload players they no longer want or are unchuffed at not playing. Always have to have an eye on the future!
