Hearing that we might be signing a striker on loan from Chelsea
So we'll have six loans!
The Elliott Lee dream looks like it might be fading
Or we do a 'Shinnie' with Elliott Lee.
Or Famewo or Leko
I’ve wondered about this a lot recently.
We’ve apparently got an “option” to purchase Famewo but we still haven’t taken it up. Why not?
He’s been brilliant since Jackson took charge.
We don’t know what the deal is contingent on. Maybe it was agreed to by Akin himself only if we were promoted to the Championship. Maybe Akin wanted 15k pw and we could only afford that if we were in the Championship. Who knows?
I thought he might get 18 months somewhere. It's a nice story given his relationship with the club. I can't really fault us for not going after him He's 39, he's probably on big wages for this level, we're not getting promoted. I'd rather have Chuks. But good luck to him. Seems like a decent bloke.
Defoe will certainly give their squad a boost but scoring goals hasn't really been their issue this season. They are the divisions top scorers but have the worst defensive record in the top 11, so if they have money to throw at wages you'd have thought another defensive option might have been better.
I don't know who is advising Ben Thompson but for someone who played 150 times for Millwall in the Championship (30 last season) to go on a free to League 2 bound Gillingham does seem rather a step down. A couple of seasons ago he was on loan at Portsmouth and did really well there.

It is a deal until the end of the season.
I suspect it is a shop window for his next move. Not sure how many loans the Gills have got but it might be a device to enable the short term move.
Morecambe have had a stunner, how have they kept Stockton?
Although dont even remember hearing anyone being linked with him all month
Blackburn kept Brereton-Diaz, Morecambe have kept Stockton, Newport have kept Telford! Quite surprising
Agree. Are any of them out of contract in the summer? Wouldn’t mind Stockton and Telford, they would definitely be useful signings in my eyes.!
Telford is, the others aren't.
Personally I'm happy they stayed. If I was a player having a great season at a club, I'd want to finish it there and achieve something, whether promotion or keeping that side up, or even just breaking records at that club. If Blackburn go up, Brereton-Diaz will forever be a club legend. If they don't, then he'll then understandably move on to a PL side, something 95% of Blackburn fans would understand.

I hadn't realised that and it does make sense in that respect. Of course, the other connection is Neil Harris.
Just realised Wednesday signed Mendez-Laing. 2 goals 2 assists so far in 7 games (5 starts) as right wing back. Remember his name being mooted in the summer as a gamble.. maybe we should have gone for it

It was mooted as a done deal by the resident WUM along with Sol Bamber. He said it was a done deal despite getting the selling club wrong.
Handy for him geographically, having started at MK Dons and also played at Reading, I imagine he probably still has his house from when he played at Reading

He was Norwich's shining light by a country mile the year before they went down again. Surprised a PL team hasnt got him.
