If true we bid decent amounts for Randall and Kirk, we need to start getting these deals over the line.
I think many of us wanted to sign Randall as he would be one to keep. He is out of contract in the summer and we may get him then and have saved ourselves £650k. Shocked it has not gone through in all honesty, and I think SG will be as well.
Terrible window for us IMO. 2 potential game changers gone in Williams and Maddison. Bowyer quotes George Graham a lot but I was never impressed with his style of play. Wasn't he the architect of the '1-0 to the Arsenal' teams? You can stick 11 robots out there but where is the creativity coming from.
Just saying it again... we are fairly big net sellers under TS, so far. Just the facts of the matter.

On a free he’ll have more suitors because Clubs will be more willing to take a gamble. No way he’ll be joining us then. If we wanted him we should have pushed the boat out.
As we're maxed out on loans, it's not as if we can do a last minute deal as a loan, it'll have to be a permanent signing
Think we can do a loan deal - especially if it is then made permanent.
Can you do a loan to perm out side of the window? You used to be able to but not sure you can now.
I thought the same. If we sign someone on loan tonight with a permanent deal agreed tomorrow, I would assume it's still a loan until the summer.
Not unless they have changed the rules.
I think they did. I am sure we were involved in a deal and in about November it was announced that a deal had been done and would be confirmed on the 1st of January.
54.4.3 Temporary Loan Transfers may include an option to acquire the Player’s registration by way of permanent transfer. Any such option can be exercised at any time (including during a Closed Period).
The option can be exercised but doesn't specify if the registration can be acquired.
Isn't it like the football equivalent of the DVLA is shut outside the window. Me and you can buy, sell, test drive, exercise any options on a car between us but we can't register it in our name until the DVLA are open.
Regardless of what contract or employment law says?
54.4.2 No Club may sign more than 4 Players on a Temporary Loan Transfer from another Club (or club) in any Season, of which no more than 2 Players may be over the age of 23. The deadline for determining a Player’s age in this respect shall be as at the 30 June prior to the Season in which the Temporary Loan Transfer is intended to take place. Any Temporary Loan Transfer which subsequently becomes a permanent transfer shall not count against a Club’s quota of such Temporary Loan Transfers for that Season; and
Good work, I stand corrected. Seems a bit silly but could work in our favour.

That expression is so Millwall, ain't it? ha ha

not seen him mentioned today
Then find out the deals we couldn't "get over the line" were Messi, KDB and Max Gradel.
