    It is a fact that people speculate on what facts are not merely speculation but fact. And it is a fact that people speculate on facts that are not in fact facts but merely speculation. The distinction between which facts are facts and which speculation is speculation comes down to which are facts and which are speculation.

    Let's take a big step back from speculation  and look at the facts we do have. 

    From Roland's EFL statement:

    "Part of the plan for ESI is to strengthen the team in January, using these weeks in December to put the building blocks in place for that..."

    And this from Lee Bowyer:

    "They want to stabilise us to stay in the league. There will be some help in Jan. That’s what we need to do as a football club. We need to become an established championship side and then you can build on that”

    So there are the facts.

    There will be money available if Bow and Gallen want to spend it. Bodies will come in. And we are aiming to stabilise, not go mad with marquee signings.

    There has been no indication from anywhere that these guys are going to spend megabucks. That's been pure CL speculation based on the owner's family. I see nothing so far to suggest that's true. 
    That those things were said is fact but what's contained in those statements is not necessarily fact, it could just as likely be a smokescreen for what's actually going on behind the scenes.
    So what we have is facts and speculation. It's a fact that he said that but what you're saying is a speculation, and perhaps would be a little biased in hoping that these owners are moneybags after all. 

    We will see I guess. I don't doubt there might be an eventual push for the Premier League but things take time. 
    Of course what I've said is speculation - the use of the word 'could' is a give away.  But it's also speculation that what was said in those quotes are facts.  If you believe everything you read or hear, how would you like to buy this Brooklyn Bridge I've got going cheap?

    Not transfer targets NOW. Maybe they were 2 months ago, but hopefully we have better targets to go for 

    Correct.   Our budget and expectations have simply got much bigger since the takeover.

    Purely speculation... albeit Cawley basically says the same, without saying the same, above....! :-)

    FYI, not one person on here mentioned Green when we were discussing rumours before he signed, so all names mentioned this week in the run up to the next signing, do not take seriously.

    Mowatt and Woodrow double swoop would be so so decent

    I remember when we played Wigan; Bowyer said that he wanted to sign Kieffer Moore and Jamal Lowe from Barnsley / Portsmouth respectfully in the summer but couldnt because of funds

    If we went after a Defender; Dunkley would be a good call from them

    Glad Rich has dismissed those links, would have been very underwhelming signings. I don't think he has dismissed the Ronan Curtis link, someone has asked him as well

    There's a recall clause in Eoin Doyle's contract. This isn't based in anything, but I'd love to know if he'd be an option, should he be recalled.

    Has played for both Bradford and Swindon this season so there are two options for him

    Probably pre-ESI options.

    I was thinking Doyle, had a look at the top scorers the other day and he has something like 22/23, goal scored just over 90 minutes or so. Insane return regardless of it being league 2. Only issue is I don't think he's eligible for another club this season? 

    Another player I wonder if Gallen and Bowyer might have a pop for is Godden, just scored back to back hatricks, when we played him I thought he was a proper versatile forward

    Teams still in the cup might get attractive draws tonight which might affect thinking.

    If reports are correct that we are looking to bring in another forward/striker on loan then it does mean we would need a permanent CM to replace Kayal to be just be level on numbers with where we started the season.

    The mania and gloom on here if we haven't signed anybody by Thursday morning will be off the scale.

    Unfortunately so, even though we have until midday Friday to get the deal done so they can be part of the squad on Saturday. Let’s hope people are a little more patient now things have been confirmed and that they’re working hard in getting the right players in, players who can improve us.

    There will be signings. Before the takeover and all the injuries and players went back to their clubs, Jackson and Marshall said at Bromley Addicks that we are going to need help and reinforcements in January and that doesn’t change. More important that we do now. And I am 100% confident we will get that help.

    It’s only 6th January, we need to understand things take time. Nonetheless, I am hoping for two additions before this time next week.

    As we are out, every draw will seem attractive for other clubs.

    I keep reading about Doyle - he is a 31year (32 in March) old journeyman who is league 1 at best. I’d like to think we can do a bit better than him now. Same goes for Godden as well.

    Southall has liked a tweet about Toney and Maddison. Could be nothing, could be everything!

    Yeah that rules us - and any other club - out then. Fair enough.

    He is mates with Posh's owner and is going for a drink with him if you read the tweets.

    He was absolutely pony for Bradford in league 1 last season.

    So Peterborough have said publicly they want  £12 or £15 million for Toney ?

    Is it the case his contract runs out this June? 
    If we could get him for say £8 million max, I wonder if MS would have the funds and be tempted ?

    Hopefully, as an ex-agent, he is probably mates with lots of club chairmen and managers and players - could be useful for loans or getting players in.

    He signed a long term contract with Posh in 2018, so likely has a deal until at least 2021.

    Picked this up from his Wiki page...

    ”In November 2014, Toney was close to a transfer to Wolverhampton Wanderers, which collapsed due to an undisclosed medical issue.”
