Macauley Gillesphey, Conor Coventry and JCH would be a decent start. But we’d still need more. Three more of the same experience and quality would be a statement of intent. And keeping CBT and Dobbo.5

BigDiddy said:A lot of irrational enthusiasm on potential signings. Before we sign anyone, we might need to ship quite a few out.
- the crap loanees [get rid of all that we can]
- Fraser, Edun, Aneke [who is never fit] and so on
I’m not holding any hope that Scott & Appleton will do anything sensible, but I really hope i am wrong, but it has to start with a mass clearout of ALL the dross.1 -

No idea what’s been offered to them but I doubt it’s not competitive. They are after all important players for us but if they can get better offers beyond ours and want out then now’s the time to usher them out the door when we can hopefully get a small fee for both. That’s the reality of football. We’ll no doubt be taking advantage of the same opportunities. If there’s truth in Coventry and JCH there’s two straight away.
They might be waiting to see what division we're in next season.
They might be waiting to see what transfer business happens.
They might be waiting to see what offers come in once the season has finished before deciding whether to stay or not.
Either way it would be daft to push players out of the door just because they might leave. Patrick Bauer helped us get promotion before leaving, for example.
I would suggest that would pale into insignificance if they left now & we got relegated. We would lose that much 5x over being in League 2.
Their VALUE to us is worth more than their COST.......even if its just for 5 more months.

But I think that is old news.
As I mentioned there is going to be a lot of transactions this month, in and out of the club. I honestly think these owners want to a big go at, I get to fans are once bitten twice as shy, and want instant success, but personally I feel we need to give them a bit of time, they haven’t done anything alarmingly wrong at the moment. They have a strategy and a plan, and it is certainly bette than the last few owners that’s for sure!As I go back, there is a base on here would only be happy if it was Varney that took over!It is a big month for Scott, if no improvement then we deserve to go after him, but at the moment the jury is out for me!
Honestly, I understand the frustration, I am frustrated by our club, but what help is all the negativity, they haven’t actually done anything that bad right?? Some of the toxic I don’t think is that justified.
I guess it is years upon years that is causing it, but fans need more patience
this is the window I am judging them on, when I say them, I mean Scott, he is the man entrusted. Pressure is on.
As I said, I get the frustration, but we are not giving the chance, as I said certain fan base have already written them off!

My take on those 3 -
Gillesphey will sign this week
JCH is 50/50
Coventry in a non starter.
And I'm not ITK but just following my instincts over previous windows where those ITK are feed stories for our consumption.4 -

Lol so we have an injury crisis at the club right now but we should send all the loanees back and sell an injured player, a midfielder and our only proper left back.
Righty Ho.
Here's the team for the weekend then:
AMB
T.Watson Hector Jones Thomas
Dobson Anderson Kedwell
T.Campbell Kanu Blackett-Taylor
Adegoke, Asiimwe, Ness, Elerewe, Casey, Rylah, Mbick
Good luck anyone getting a tune out of that3 -

Only other player other than Poveda that I can find that matches what Dubai said is Musaba at Chef Wendy.0

Rome wasn’t built in a day and for me, the owners still have time to turn things around. You can’t turn this club around in one window. I’d imagine any player signed this month will be signed on the basis of being ready to go next August, which is a positive if they’re good enough.
I am fairly convinced Appleton isn’t the right man to take us forward, would be very happy for him to be sacked right now, BUT I equally am bored of the managerial merry go round and can see from their perspective why they should give him this transfer window to show he is capable.21 -

Firstly Aneke is sadly a ticking time bomb - and we have seen him injured in the warm up, after playing 5 minutes, during his recovery etc.
Secondly I just don’t think competitive football is easy enough that you can arbitrarily use someone for maximum 20 minutes each match. So many match situations just do not allow that sort of thing to happen.1 -
So Coventry, JCH, Gillesphy, Humphrys, Caleb Taylor.
Dobbo and CBT to sign back on.
5* JRS quality loanees next season.
Championship here we come!4 -
