    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.
    so, no loans then. Otherwise we are back to the usual summer merry-go-round of replacing not only those out of contract but the 5 or 6 loanees. 

    Please tell me how THAT has gone over the past 3 or 4 seasons.

    Dobson gave his shirt and captains arm band to a young boy at the end of the game to Oxford .  Think that tells you he is off?
    He gave his shirt to a young lad when I was at Barnsley the other week and does so most weeks apparently.

    According to my son who sits above the Family Quadrant he does that after every home game.

    You are missing one thing though Golfie. What would be their level of performance towards the end of season when they would be looking for a deal elsewhere ? Up until now I can't fault Dobson and CBT's professionalism but I think the club would not be foolish to let them walk away for nothing if interest from other clubs was firmed up now. 
    But then you could say that about any player at any time in their contract. 

    It has never been a (known) issue for the past 30 years since the Bosman ruling came in. 
  • funnily enough it was Docherty and Wilks that I thought of too
  • We've also been linked to Regan Slater from Hull in the past too.

    I agree. The only reason to get a loan in now is with the expectation that they’re joining in the summer.

  • Whoever, if anyone, we are bringing in, we need them this week and they need to be fit enough to start on Saturday. We can't go in to another game with the same personnel as yesterday! 
    We need new players now, not in 2, 3, or 4 weeks time!

    So a 23 yr old winger, who was once extremely highly rated, but had a couple of years dip.  Was in more than one overseas academy and now plays for a club a little west and a lot north of Ipswich... Hull, Sunderland, Middlesbrough seem the obvious ones.  

    Has played in L1 before and done well, and has done okay in the championship but his club have started investing more money so he isn't playing now.

    Samuel Silvera?

    Ian Poveda matches most of the description but never played below Championship.

    Wilks is 27.
  • It’s wilks

    Easier said than done, how do you “clear out” a player like Aneke? 
    They can pay him to sit on his arse I suppose?

    Point is that someone has to pay, either to stay and do nothing or pay him off to leave.  There is no cost free option.

    I wish I had known that before I paid £200 on Match Worn Shirt for one of his (daughters birthday present) 🙄🙄🙄

    Did Poveda play for Blackpool under Appleton?

  • I don't see us getting Conor Coventry. Featured for West Ham on the bench, I don't see him dropping down to league 1 on a permanent. 

    I think that link stinks of agent talk/ the club giving Cawley something to post as we trust him and it may take the heat off them.

    Sort of like how I am interested in Dua Lipa but she has the pick of most blokes in the world & I'm just a tubby lad from London
    There no heat on the owners blimey only been in the role 5 mins .. going to take rest of this season and next to sort out the mis management of the last 10/12 years … and for us to have the structure and foundations to build a top 2 team upon

    Apart from half a season in the championship he’s only played League 1 football

    It is more so it being a permanent transfer.

    Good player but I reckon this one is unlikely. If we did manage it however and kept Dobson, that would be a cracking midfield duo 
  • Coventry rumour might have been ‘leaked’ to push that one along then?

    Or he could be 2nd choice target?
    Or leaked to encourage Dobson to sign the latest ‘take it or leave it’ contract extension (before we look to bring in a replacement).
  • AND (and at the risk of sounding like Golfaddick), you bring them in early in the summer, so that you can spend pre season (and especially the overseas tour) building them into a team. When they went overseas in early July, they had already signed 9 players, whereas when we did a similar trip, we'd only signed 3, and had MASSIVE gaps in the squad.

    At the time there was scepticism here that they'd bought in any old players, rather than waiting for the right ones, but the proof of the pudding is in their results when compared to ours.
    Yep, it really is that simple. You basically spend cash and that's that. You can't build teams as if you fail to get promotion, all the decent players move on. The only reason the likes of Wednesday, Sunderland, Derby and Ipswich got away with it, is they were paying big wages.

    You look at most auto promoted sides over the years and they all are just big spenders or newly relegated sides. 

    I think if Bolton manage to go up this season, they're the only real example I can think of where a side has kept managers and players and slowly built their way to promotion. I am amazed they've managed to hold on to that squad but I reckon if they don't go up this year that will be that and they'll be on a rebuild.

    I like the look of the players we are being linked with so far, all very positive, but I am definitely  a half glass empty/cautious type, so until those players are through the door, question marks all over the ownership..
