    Skint but have enough money to pay off the manager‘s three year contract is an interesting position.
    Unless the club didn’t need to pay the full length of the contract.

    Fair play to you for continually backing this regime but you're going to look very stupid if we don't spend anything this week.

    I hope you are right though.

    Airman has said on another thread:  ‘Three players [incoming], is my understanding, two of them youngsters. Two of them loans.’
    And three leaving.

    The 3 leaving is surely 3 from Kirk, DJ, McGrandles and Payne.

    3 in 3 out leaves us ludicrously short

    From BBC. 

    Saudi side Al-Ittihad are also interested in Liverpool's England defender, Joe Gomez, but the Reds have no intention of selling the 26-year-old. (Fabrizio Romano)


    This could boost the coffers couldn’t it? Assume we had a sell on ( if not already cashed in)….

    Absolutely. Especially if 1 of the 3 is Dabo.

    On the assumption that Kirk, Payne and DJ will leave we have:

    Keepers - Isted, AMB
    LB - Edun
    CB - Jones, Hector, Ness, Thomas, Deji
    RB - Asiimwe, Dabo 
    DM - Dobson, Taylor
    CM - Fraser, Anderson, Camara, Mcgrandles
    Wingers - CBT, Campbell x 2
    Striker - May, Leaburn, Kanu

    That's a squad of 22 of which 8 are U21. Nowhere near strong enough.

    Dabo, CM, ST I guess.

    need another midfielder through the door if Payne is one of the 3 going, cover for Fraser's drop off in form and fitness, Anderson being young and yeah, Pan heading to the AFCON. 

    Dobson Taylor
    Fraser New
    Camara Anderson

    Looking like an underwhelming end to the window and will be a repeat of the last few seasons, a fairly strong first 11, f all in depth.

    Very good point. 
    I’d go with Dabo, a centre back and a target man. 😊

    You could add Thomas to the LB list at a pinch. 
    And isn’t there interest for Mcgrandles?
    But yes, way too weak.

    So Dabo plus two inexperienced youngsters on loan?  Marvellous, considering the amount of balls spouted that would leave this the most disappointing window for years.  We have signed quality but the squad is like a nursery, with experience dotted throughout.

    Wonder if that's from Cambridge again

    Be funny if we sold him to them, and then hired Mark Bonner

    Yeah, it would leave those posters who backed them so vocally looking very stupid.

    We need a seasoned striker so “youngster” and “loan” don’t apply. 
    On that basis Dabo is either not included in the three, not joining, or we are not aiming top six.

    Dabo doesn’t have to sign by Friday though he’s a free agent.

    So if the rumours thread is anything to go by (from the posters that aren’t attention seekers) we will sign a few players but nothing to raise eyebrows.  

    We’re not even getting a new owner bounce then, we are finishing mid table once again it seems.  How do things manage to get more depressing season by season, can’t be arsed, it’s still august ffs.

    If that is ultimately the totality of our transfer window any of you CM backers should, come Friday, hold your hands up and admit you were wrong.

    Any of us with doubts, waiting to be proven wrong, should do the same.

    However if anybody thinks what is coming out in the press is anything but incomplete for us to be able to push for the top 6 in our division, I'd love to hear how.

    I hope Airman is wrong as if our remaining bit of business really is Dabo plus two more youngsters thrown in to our already too young squad then it is hard to have any optimism even if a quality manager does arrive.

    I've been hearing some really conflicting reports on this. 

    *We had in the contract a 10%/15%/20% sell on clause.
    *This sell on clause was bought out during covid for £1 million.

    Not sure what I believe to be honest but i can imagine if there is still a sell on clause there will be at least some form of investment into the squad.

    Three weeks ago the majority on here were declaring the summer to be a good window but rightly bemoaning the lack of a replacement for the injured Leaburn. At the same time those same people were demanding the exit of DJ, Kirk, Payne and McGrandles. Another forward has been brought in and by all accounts three of the players we wanted out are doing exactly that. The manager has been sacked and we are allegedly bring in three players, two on loan and one permanent. There is angst  on here about bringing youngsters in on loan, with that in mind, does that make previous loanees such as Saki, Maatsen and Millar part of that angst.
    My point is why don't we wait till the end of the window or beyond to decide if this season is going to be wasted.

    Why is this Dabo signing being dragged out so much, surely means he's weighing up his options?

    No way Gomez is being sold so irrelevant if we still have a sell on or not. Liverpool CBs as bad as Charlton squad when it comes to injuries and he’s also RB cover
