    think I can agree with the last comment. I like the people we've brought in. Guy will probably look to bring in one more but who knows. Think we have brought in enough to turn the season around to a point where we can all be happy

I can't believe people are talking about relegation.

    It is good to be positive but the facts are we have won six games all season. We have won three games since September and we have not scored in the last four games. If we carry on going the same way we have a very real chance of getting relegated.

    We definitely need to bring in at least one striker, if not two with George going.

    The playoffs! Give it a rest pal. The 6th placed team (at the time) just smashed us 5-0 last week. We're miles off that.

    People aren't making up the negativity. Relegation concerns are reality. We haven't won for 10 games & need to buy a gd target man & creative midfielder/winger just to compete. Let's hope our owners are sensible enough to know that we'll be lucky to score enough goals to stay up if we don't have a proper number 9 all season.

    Relegation is unlikely but most definitely not a total impossibility. That said, Velcro, Watt and Lepoint are all good signings, we haven't lost anyone yet, and we can be relatively hopeful of more to come based on Luzon's own comments. A couple more of Lepoint's level and I will be happy - probably won't have heard of them before but solid, experienced and not going to upset the apple cart.

    We are a strong as an Ox CF and pacey winger (who can cross the ball!) away from being a top 10 side IMO. Unfortunately I don't see us landing both.

    For those looking for additional Belgians joining ... Belgian side Lierse (bound for relegation) announced a major sell-out today, also for it's best (expensive) players. I wonder if RD will snatch one up for a bargain price ...

    If we could pull this one out of the bag I'd be very happy. Can't see it though.

    one more striker and i'll be happy with the squad, big lump target man - not necessarily to bang goals in, more to assist those we already have to do that, between Igor and Watt I reckon we've got enough

    I admire your rampant optimism but we've scored 4 league goals since Nov 8th, nearly 3 months. We need to sign at least 1 more attacking player to improve that, preferably the big CF that we've been crying our for since Yann left.

    Signings so far have been alright, mostly unproven but promising. Not yet there tho.

    I really can't see us bringing in a striker. Very quiet on that front. But hope to be proved wrong.

    In paper today it says we are after Grant Ward Spurs defender, doesn't say if it's a loan or not.

    Ward is a midfielder, I think.

    Iv'e never heard of him personally, but that's from the sun, so must be true.
    edit just looked on his Wiki page it says midfielder, also comes from Lewisham.

    Isn't he or wasn't he on loan to an MLS team?

    Born in Lewisham, Grant joined our Aademy in July, 2011. Initially a winger, he developed his play to become an attacking left-back and can play across the midfield.

    Yet another we missed out on - blame Phil Chapple

    Harry Redknapp has confirmed that QPR have made inquiries to Wolves regarding Bakary Sako. Triffic player.
