    There's some states on here bloody hell! You'd have thought we'd have sold De Bruyne and Haaland. 
    I really hate comments like this.

    The concern is obviously not about offloading the likes of Kirk and Lavelle on loan. It’s about the Machiavellian transfer manoeuvring.

    This is not Robert Lee joining Newcastle when we’re in second spot in the league. 
    This is leaving us up shit creek without a paddle in the Third Division. The longer we accept this the more it’ll happen. 

    A threadbare squad plugged with journeymen on short term deals and loans. We’re better than that, or we should be. 

    If you think on top of that selling a player with a modicum of talent in EOC doesn’t cause anger and unrest then you’re a fool. 

    Sorry I just can't agree. If we were in real danger of going down or in the top 10, I'd agree. "Plugging the squad with journeymen" will make no difference to the future of this club. 
    Seriously, read your last sentence back again.
    If you think signing other clubs’ players on loan and picking up journeymen on short terms deals won’t have a detrimental effect on the future on the club, then you don’t understand how a successful club should be run.
    I think you need to read what you have yourself written - "short term deals"
    Yep short term. So won’t be here in the summer. So we have to start all over again. And possibly with a new manager. 

    See where this is going? Keep up. 

    But you don’t think that short termism  damages the long term aspirations of a football club?

    Righto. 
    We started the season with Mac as one of our keepers, we now have AMB. That's an improvement. Stockley was contributing nothing, we've replaced him with Bonne, that's probably an improvement. Neither McGrandles or JFC contributed anything, Kilkenny is better on paper than both. Kirk has done nothing, I doubt Edwards will be worse. We've improved at full-back with the signings of Kane and Penney. 

    Are you honestly telling me you wanted Mac, Stockley, Kirk, Lavelle, Thomas or JFC as part of a promotion winning squad next season. Can you remind me where those players have gone/are going? Chelsea are buying everyone with a pulse but I don't remember them bidding for any of them? 

    O'Connell is the only loss and even he can't get in the team at the minute. He is our best CB on the ball but our reliance on this isn't what it was under Garner. 

    I take your point about another rebuild in the summer but this was always going to be the case if Sandgaard was our owner anyway. I repeat what I said earlier, this window will not determine the future of the club. Getting rid of Sandgaard is what's important. Bodging the squad won't relegate or promote us, which is exactly the case as it was a few weeks ago.

    Lavelle is a loan, what a shambles really. Why on earth can we not just sell Kirk and lavelle ? 
    Do you presume we had clubs wanting to buy them, but we said no?

    45 mins and counting Where's the striker? Where's the supposed Edwards deal?
    What striker?

    Why are you so convinced we are signing a striker

    People go on about needed a striker but in reality only 5 teams have scored more than us this season, and logically we play 1 upfront, Bonne/Leaburn rotate and Aneke as reserve when fit then we have Kanu who can play their if needed as well.

    Im more concerned that we have lost CBs and conceding is where we have been having issues
    You not heard of injuries ?  loss of form ? suspensions ?

    Cast your mind back just 12 months when the transfer window shut without us getting back up for our strikers & then Washington AND Stockley both got injured & we were playing Burstow & Kanu upfront.

    But of course, that can't happen again. 
    Your moaning we are signing a 30 year old winger because he isn't one for the future

    Your moaning we are not signing a striker to be 4th choice in case we get injuries

    Instead of moaning tell us who you think we could get

    But remember based on your guidelines 

    They have to be 

    A striker
    Good enough to play
    Young that we can sell on

    But also remember this

    They have to be willing to be backup to Bonne/leaburn

    They have to be willing to accept this season is probably over

    They have to accept we could be
    sold

    They have to accept are managers contract is over in may and the new manager may not want him.


    Sooooooo you got this magical name or you just gonna carry on moaning
    No fucking clue mate. But its not my job to know.

    Get Gallen to tell you where best to invest £200k & how to calculate the Pension Lifetime Allowance on a DB scheme then I'll find you a striker.

    Ok. 
    But Gallen isn't moaning about how you do your job is he.

    So if you can't do Gallens job, stop moaning about it and let him get on with it

    So Innis and Ness left. What happens when Innis is next suspended or injured? Clare at CB? Where’s Elewere?

    Is there even any chance we see Egbo this season? Seems like his injury is one that's more likely to be next season he's back. 
    Never see him again…Gone to Burton

    If you lot lose the plot over Lavelle and Thomas going, you need your bumps read. I get the feeling over O'Connell but those two are shit. 
    But we need a squad. Currently leaves us with Inniss, Ness and a crocked Hector.
    Is Hector crocked?
    Evidently he’s been training with Chef Wendy for quite a while and for the last two or three days with us, reported to be in tip top condition.
    Doesn’t sound like he’s crocked to me…..unless you know otherwise that is?

    Sounds like EOC was not in Holdens plans at all and was offered a lot of money by Wrexham.

    I just saw Chris Martin has leftBristol City…always rated him in the past.
    Holden is a yes man that will peddle any nonsense he’s told to say.

    Apparently he didn't complete his medical with Sheff Wed, who he had been training with this season

    He hasn't played at all this season

    That doesn't scream "match fit" to me.

    Only O’Connell has actually left so far.

    As the end is near:

    Paperwork can be submitted after the window slams shut if the deal was done prior.

    The EFL will send back any botched paperwork (ahem, Ron) and register the player once amended. 

    Paperwork is sadly no longer faxed, it's submitted via a web portal.
