Maybe by the end of the month Arsenal will have been knocked out of the FA Cup and will be more willing to release one of their good young strikers? Liverpool, Fulham and Leicester could also have options to loan out then too?
Not a rumour but I've seen a few league 2 clubs are being linked with Mo Eisa on loan from Bristol City, he is the lad who had his break through last season with Cheltenham and Bristol paid just under 2 mill for him so he could be worth a punt. He will get game time here and can play on the wing or up front. Clearly hasn't hit the ground running in the championship but far too good for league 2, league 1 may be his level right now.

Someone give Lee a call
Isn’t he a local lad? Feel like he was playing in the Kent League not too long ago or is that someone else...
Edit: Yep, Dartford, Corinthians and Greenwich Borough

Yeah that's the guy, absolutely tore up league 2 last year and is a very versatile forward player, him and possibly another CM (Pratley type but not as shit) would be a very good window in my eyes and would be good enough to push us on. Then hopefully we will be taken over by the new season in the championship and we can snap up all the league1 talent with their contracts running down, the stuff of fm dreams

Born in Khartoum which seems a good enough reason to sign him
He comes from the Sudan He fecking hates Roland Mo Eise Whoah oh oh

Mo Eisa would be a great signing, he's quick and fairly tall. Scored goals everywhere before moving to Bristol City where he hasn't been given a chance really.
It's not a rumour as already said on here, but it is a great shout and I hope one that Gallen and Bowyer have looked at and inquired into.
When asked what happens next in the window Gallen said: “I don’t think it is 'job done'. I think there could be a couple more in all honesty. We’ll let the dust settle now after a week or two and I can anticipate maybe towards the end of the month there will be one or two going out that aren’t getting as much game time, and then maybe one or two might come in to replace them. It’s definitely not 'job done' and I think anyway we can help Lee (Bowyer) and the team to strengthen the squad and give us a chance to be in that top six, or hopefully that top two, we’ve got to try and do that.” https://www.cafc.co.uk/news/view/5c38b15faf002/gallen-on-january-transfer-window-plans-after-the-signing-of-purrington
That makes sense. Apart from anything else, injuries in the next 2 weeks might impact where we need to strengthen
As I've said before, we've potentially have far too many in midfield. No way will all of them be here on the 1st February

Reeves is an injury waiting to happen, Cullen may not hit the ground running, Lapslie is an accident waiting to happen, I rate Bielik and he's doing a great job but he isn't a natural CM and we may need him as cover at centre back, Clarke is an enigma at this point plus not a centre mid and Williams again although showed glimpses, based on his history can we trust him to play every game this season?
I make that two fit centre mids who can probably play the whole season in Pratley and Bielik. Bielik gets injured then what? He's been our best player by far in that midfield role since Aribo and Cullen's absence

Let the dust settle for a week or 2
So no new striker anytime soon
is a week not soon? Golfie levels of impatience
He didnt say 1 week
Its a week or 2, he then said towards to end of the window 1 or 2 players may be leaving and then others brought in
Based on that it doesnt sound like a striker will be in next werk but probably closer to 2 weeks which will be towards the end of the window
So he did say a week.
point is we've already signed three players, all of whom seem decent and improve the squad. Gallen has done well.
Getting a forward will be more difficult and we're more likely to find someone near the end of the window when other deals have been done and clubs at a higher level are willing to loan out that player.
Or you could read it as he's waiting to see if there is a takeover and they can splash the dollars.
And waiting to get 1 or 2 players wages off the books by sale or loan, in order to get 1 or 2 more players in, within the budget.

Sometimes you do need to give players loan opportunities elsewhere, for their development. Grant this year is a transformed player since his loan spell last season, Scott Parker came of age after his spell at Norwich
Reeves is an injury waiting to happen, Cullen may not hit the ground running, Lapslie is an accident waiting to happen, I rate Bielik and he's doing a great job but he isn't a natural CM and we may need him as cover at centre back, Clarke is an enigma at this point plus not a centre mid and Williams again although showed glimpses, based on his history can we trust him to play every game this season?
I make that two fit centre mids who can probably play the whole season in Pratley and Bielik. Bielik gets injured then what? He's been our best player by far in that midfield role since Aribo and Cullen's absence
But we have 8 of them (and Dijksteel and Morgan too who have featured this season) so despite "only 2" of them being fit for the whole season, you really believe that the other 8 are not enough for the rest of the season between them?
If so, that's ridiculous, and I for one am glad you are not in charge of recruitment of the squad
Why would we need another CM? what formation are you playing?
Maxwell Reeves Aribo Lapslie Bielik Cullen Pratley Clarke Williams Grant Taylor
A progressive 0-8-2 formation whereby we play a double diamond in the middle?
Dillon Phillips getting shafted again, I wouldn't blame him if he did a poo on the boardroom table, murdered Lee Bowyer's mum, and set fire to the Valley Cafe, such is the injustice with which he has been treated.

Wow, not going to flag as I don’t want to misuse the purpose, but feel this is too far, quite disturbing to be honest, even if meant light heartedly

Would'nt be my first choice but he puts himself about in the physical areas when required.
Edit: bloody hell @ShootersHillGuru I didn’t even notice your post! Beat me by 45 minutes!
Would advise to reconsider.
