Like a left-back signing.Garrymanilow said:
And yet T minus 0 seconds before you're on here whining about something that hasn't even happened yet. Have a day off.SELR_addicks said:T minus 12 days until people are saying they are satisfied with only 2 signings because we weren't going to get promoted anyway after demanding 5+ before the window started.0 -

Bit harsh. Scored in the League 1 playoff final...Redhenry said:
Purrington was league 2 at best!Leuth said:I'm not unhappy Purrington isn't still with us. He offered little going forward (except when he decided to literally play striker) and defensively I felt he stood off his man a bit too much. He, Washington and Gilbey also gave me a certain self-pitying vibe which I can't quite fully explain. He'd have been preferable to Clayden, Clare or Chin in the position, for sure, but then we should never have had to play any of those at left-back1 -

I suspect we’d have a few more points on the board if he’d been available this season. But yes, it’d be good to have better for sure.1 -
We've been here a thousand times though. Club making noises of movement in the market and fail to deliver time and time again. This isn't a one off. We are heading into Jan 20th with an injured LB and Bonne until the end of the season, it's not good enough.ForeverAddickted said:Can people stop pissing their pants because the window is STILL FUCKING OPEN!!!

We could sign Gvardiol at Left-Back, and there are no guarantees that he'll succeed here - Why?
Because last summer we signed: Lavelle | Leko | Arter all on the August Deadline Day, the mood over the entire window went from this typical misery to people saying our business that summer was 7/10 or 8/10 in terms of deals.
It really wasn't though was it... All three pretty much flopped1 -
Surely the fact they flopped is justification for getting your business done earlier?ForeverAddickted said:

My point is, we can do business early or late, and there are no guarantees that the signings will end up working out - So come the 1st Feb, we can make a truly decent signing that we're all happy with, but unless someone has a time machine, the fact they'll be become successful is unknown.
Ronnie Schwartz vs Jayden Stockley as a perfect example in January 2021 for example
One was signed right at the start of the window, the other was signed with about ten days left of it - I know I'm cherry picking examples by going back to 2021 for that, but given both signed in the same window as Strikers I thought it was a good one that stood out.0 -
have to admit I'm not really that bothered about this transfer window. Relegation very unlikely as is promotion. Just want to hang on to Leaburn, Ness, Fraser & Dobbo and if we can bring in a couple like Todd (point to prove, out of contract in the summer, take a good look at them now) then great. The summer will be a big rebuilding exercise.
Of greater importance now is who will be owning us and what their ambition is.9 - Sponsored links:

Of course, I’m not sure that’s totally relevant to the point people are making though. We needed a left back as soon as the window opened, regardless of how they turned out. It’s only a left back though, some of the whining is definitely well over the top. It’s not cost us either.ForeverAddickted said:

even better!Weegie Addick said:He’s injured isn’t he?0 -
Well yes and we were after a left back right from the start. Edun was close enough to get a Cawley article but then had an injury scare. The club can't really be blamed there.cafcfan1990 said:

I've not got unrealistic hopes about the playoffs ..I just want to enjoy watching games without clear weaknesses in the lineup that will handicap the performance.
Jackson stuck with wing backs till the end last season (when he didn't have any) and it wasn't pretty, in my opinion, even when we were playing for nothing.
Naively I thought a LB was such an urgent priority that there would be at least one (didn't have to be a good one) lined up in the first week of Jan. Alas not, we brought in a right back in mid Jan.
Injuries happen but it feels like we've got so used to workarounds I can't remember if this is normal or not.2 -
I agree with this and see Sess as someone who could do well in the Champ but it’s seriously harsh to suggest BP isn’t/wasn’t League 1 level.Redhenry said:

Where is he now? I missed all the league 1 clubs queuing up to sign him. Why do some of our fans love shite ex players?
the only reason he signed for us, coz he was cheap0 -
I can see why people are writing off this window but I do think signing the likes of Edun on a perm deal might show the likes of Dobbo that we’re going to give it a go next season and he should stick around.I’m still hanging onto hopes of creeping into the play-offs but we’ll need a serious run of results. A decent LB and ST could see us run it close but we’ll need a wedge of good fortune, something which has been in short supply in recent years.0

I had a beer with Andy Scott a few times when I lived in Brentwood, just saying 😀1

Possibly, and of course we can't completely control the situation. I'm not sure the deal was that close, after all he was playing a match for Blackburn U21's that day.thenewbie said:

He’s playing in the Scottish Prem. Got a better market value than a large amount of our current squad. There’s been times that we could have 100% used him. The fact Sess is far better isn’t part of the discussion imo.Redhenry said:Where is he now? I missed all the league 1 clubs queuing up to sign him. Why do some of our fans love shite ex players?
