If we haven't signed a LB in time for tomorrow, it doesn't bode well for the rest of the window IMHO
It’s clear we want Edun. Why would we bring someone in today (for one game) when we are likely to be able to get our first choice next week?
We’ve gone the whole season without a LB so one more game won’t make or break our year.
We may want Edun but I disagree we will likely get our first choice next week. It will probably play out that on deadline day either Blackburn won’t release him or he’ll go to a Championship club and we will get the usual ‘we tried, but ...’.
I dont think the second option happens. It really does seem Blackburn were all set to loan him to us.
What is the extent of the supposed injury that Edun picked up?
He isn't injured - Think the hold up is because Blackburn wont let him go, without finding a replacement. Tomasson got quoted the other day saying that no one will leave the building until others come in
Charlton hold an interest in Blackburn’s Tayo Edun and our publication had been told recently they were close to securing him on loan. A sore Achilles saw him withdraw from U21 action the other day but Rovers head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson says he is available for their match at Bristol City this weekend.
No, they already had a suspended 3 point deduction. This ruling says if they transgress once more before the end of the year then the 3 points deduction will come into force.
I thought thus time, with Andy Scott in charge, we would finally bring in some quality players.
Not easily done when he only joined three days prior to the window opening - Need to be better prepared than that, hence why you'll hear others saying that our preparation for the Summer Window often begins in March

But no. Its same old same old.
I suppose with the 3 wins since the New Year it has at least quelled the relegation fears somewhat......and making any major signings less important.
Will just have to continue with square pegs in round holes for yet another season.
Sigh..
It’s this that I find so confusing. Why was he employed, albeit on a very short deal? Maybe you can enlighten us @Redhenry
He does still have eleven days left on that contract. I’m not suggesting one way or another whether his stay will be looked at as a success or a wtf moment. But we can’t make a judgement quite yet.

I suspect that as he's apparently an expert deal maker, he's been tasked with helping to flog the club, not deal with transfers.

If the above is even remotely correct then football in league one.. Division 3 ffs is absolutely bonkers!
Where did you find this list chap,
Find it really hard to believe Plymouth have two players on 900k a year
It was on the same site that an earlier poster listed, quoting what some of our players were earning. I looked at the menu and found a top earnings tab for league one. I knew Bannan was on around £20k a week as it was widely known when Wednesday got relegated.

And the January window started in the Autumn......or so we were told by SG.
Its not as if needing a LB or a couple of strikers was a new problem. We all knew on Sept 1st we were light in these areas. 2/3rds of the way into the window & we've signed an ex-player who wasn't all that 1st time around & a defender who lasted less than 45 mins before limping off & probably wont be seen this side of Easter.
But never mind, we always have the summer window to look forward to. Pretty sure we wont be in this position then 😅😅😅
Got to say disappointing transfer window. Trouble is you can have the ambition but if players don’t want to come, unless you pay silly wages it’s going to be tough

Another factor that isn't helping anyone - Even League One transfer fees are fucking ridiculous now

So......the suspension has been suspended. Again.

He would be able to cover left back.
