Can’t Lee just raid the yellow swear box on his desk and buy Clarke Harris?Charlton Dan said:

Don’t forget you have to get the deal sheet in by 11pm then you have a further two hours to complete the deal. Saying that I’m assuming the EFL works the same as the PL.0

They're different players as Leko can play as more of a striker whereas Green is really a winger. Indeed someone (Bowyer or Gallen?) said earlier in the window that Green wasn't a replacement for Leko, and that they were still looking for a replacement forward for Leko.FishCostaFortune said:
I'd like to hear why you think that.LargeAddick said:
I disagree that Green looks to be as useful as Leko.FishCostaFortune said:
I honestly can't believe you are trying to use Joe Ledley leaving as a counter argument against my point.se9addick said:
I mean that is simply not correct. When ESI took over we had Bowyer, Taylor and Gallagher (plus Leko, Kayal and Ledley). We don’t anymore.FishCostaFortune said:
And also why? If things stay the way they are, we are stronger than we were when ESI first took over.bobmunro said:Melrose said:If it ends up like this then MS is gonna have a very tough time.
From who, apart from you?
Bowyer Signed and Taylor Stays.
3 players signed, and the only real blemish being Gallagher leaving, which was not in our hands.
I’m not certain if we are better now with Gallagher replaced by the new recruits, they’d have to be pretty good for that to be the case because he was our best player.
From what I have seen of him I would argue that Green looks to be as useful as Leko. Kayal never got going and I believe Smith will be better than him because of that. And Mcgeady offers something different to what we previously had and is a player Bowyer clearly rates.
For me that outweighs the loss of Gallagher, which I mention is the only blemish, and at least that is in a position we have plenty of options in.
And we still may sign someone else.
I'd argue that he certainly lacks that raw pace and trickery that Leko had which frightens defenders. However he is no slough himself, and is definitely much more considered on the ball than Leko*. From what I have seen of Green he has a better understanding of the game then Leko did. I personally feel that although Leko had that ability to create something out of nothing, Greens ability to read the game, and get into better positions and find better passes will be more useful in the long run. Especially when Mcgeady can be that more flair type player.
*I just want to mention I was a fan of Leko and defended him many times on this forum.
I will be pretty disappointed if we end up signing no striker in this window, it seems a bit unbalanced that our 5 loan players are ALL midfielders or attacking midfielders, unless we actually sign a striker on a perm deal.2 -

Marquee signings?? We clearly have zero money and our new chairman instead of trying to be all things to mankind should have perhaps gone about his business in a quieter fashion as this is not what any of us expected. Dissapointed is an understatement and gawd forbid if tomorrow doesn't go our way as this site will go into melt down!

I think a replacement for Leko is out of the question now, is imagine a change in shape is underfoot with McGeady, Green, Williams, Doughty all playing wider roles in 433 or 4231 formations, or us playing 2 up top with Taylor and Bonne and going for a more battering ram approach1

As I'm sure has been said a number of times, just because we're not spending money in January doesn't mean we're skint. It's a notoriously bad time to splash the cash. What we do in the summer will be a more true indication of what we can expect from the new owner.peterreeves said:Marquee signings??

You can process a deal sheet in with the EFL and FA which gives you normally an extra hour or two to get it finished.HardyAddick said:

Once the deal sheet is in you can "Netflix and chill" until 1am. Or do a medical, haggle over 1k a week etcHardyAddick said:
