Potentially some long-term ambition here then.Redrobo said:Out of contract in JulyWhat’s the plan with Sessegnon then? Move over to right back?0 -
Told you all this morning we wouldn’t sign a left back…2

I take it the Blackburn defender is now off the table3

We've not seen Sess @ Right-Back yet, but good having two Full-Backs who can operate both flanks.1 -

Yeah I’d be surprised. Shame because he’s decent but if Blackburn are pissing us about, we can’t wait until the end of the window and risk getting no-one. Penney should be a decent addition and plugs a big hole for us.Danny_Jenner said:I take it the Blackburn defender is now off the tableWe saw what happened in the summer when QPR strung us along for Bonne.5 -
Nice that he will be match fit as he has been at Motherwell.1

Not so sure we’ll see Kane this season. Sessegnon has to play, he’s our best player.ForeverAddickted said:

Not necessarily as he might still be on the cards - then Sessegnon can be used on the right if needed. Or maybe he's one to try again for in summer.Danny_Jenner said:I take it the Blackburn defender is now off the table
But either way it's pretty good business as instead of being held up by Blackburn we've moved onto option B and a fairly solid one it seems rather than a kid or a has been.1 - Sponsored links:

He’s as fit as a fiddle right now. We’ll soon change that.2

Can’t get excited by short term deals or loans. We’re not challenging for anything this season and no one we sign in this window will be here next season. Then the whole squad rebuild will happen for the 17151 time again in the summer.7

Bonne, Kane & Penney are definitely positive signings imo.8

we most certainly are challenging for something this season so get behind them, and the new gaffer, and enjoy the ride19 -
Try and think of it as a try before you sign. He is out of contract in July so he could well be here next season if he does well.J BLOCK said:Can’t get excited by short term deals or loans.

Penney is a good signing and has plugged the huge hole in the squad. If we can hang on to Dobson, and to a lesser extent, Leaburn, then I think we will have a decent second half to the season. The signings we have made should of course have been made over last Summer, but better late than never.

But we haven’t rebuilt the squad in the last 3 summers, that’s been the problem. It’s needed to be completely gutted, but we’ve always kept too much crap, whether it be longer contracts under TS for poor players like Mansfield, or a general misguided commitment to the likes of Morgan, hoping he’ll magically come good.J BLOCK said:Can’t get excited by short term deals or loans.

As much as I’d like quality players in this window, it’s never gonna happen, even if we were being run in a stable manner, let alone with all the uncertainty around our future.Short term deals and loans are the safest option for us for a number of reasons2 - Sponsored links:

To be honest if someone told me that in this window by the third game we would have got:
- a full back who can play both sides and had been playing in the championship this season.
- a striker who has scored double figure goals in the championship and league one in recent seasons.
- a left footed left back who has been playing in the Scottish premiership.
I’d say on paper that’s probably pretty solid for what you can get in January, whilst addressing the holes in our squad.
Manage to bring in one or two more of similar or better quality before the deadline, and overall it would have been a positive window in my opinion.38 -

It's gonna happen...1 -
A left footed left back, in Penney, for me is a much welcome addition. We now have an opportunity to see Sess in his natural RB position. I would also use Clare as a replacement for Morgan in midfield, alongside Dobbo and Fraser.
The one thing I don't get is why some fans are moaning we didn't know about Penney, well why should we, we have no divine right to know everything immediately! Holden wanted to keep him under wraps until the team was announced...so what, if its allowed, I think that was a good idea!.
I also agree that if we were under an embargo we would know, as the EFL publish the names of clubs who are nowadays.

In the interests of transparency and in line with the principles of good governance, in June 2021 EFL Clubs approved an amendment to the Regulations to allow the EFL to publish a list of those Clubs under registration embargoes on EFL.com.
Clubs under embargo will be named on this dedicated Embargo Reporting Service page, along with the reason the Club has been placed under embargo. For example, the regulation the Club has failed to comply with.
