    I feel a CAM to compete with Berry is one of the biggest priorities
    Ideally one to overtake him, a player on the way up. Berry doesn’t always play with the energy we need, Anderson doesn’t have the quality on the ball or goal threat.

    If we're going to bring in a CAM for me it would be someone that's an instant starter over Berry. 
  • Lewis Wing from Reading

    Yeah, Knibbs, Smith and Wing (as well as Bindon) all possible departures from Reading this January and all decent players who would improve our squad imo.

    On that note, Huddersfield just signed a player for a fee in the window where money can't be spent.

    From the Dutch top flight as well. That's what billionaire owners do. 
    What’s the implication here? Do you have issues with the money our owners have spent so far?

    Post comes across like a kid having a moan that another kid a few doors down got their Christmas presents a few days early. You have no idea if he’s any good!

    Maybe let’s wait until Feb 1 to see how much we do or don’t spend ourselves.
    Spot on, I was literally jumping up and down in my room

    Would predict Selles will take at least one to Hull

    Rewind a year and the same post was about Carlisle doing their business early. The same Carlisle that are heading towards non league
    All about context. 

    I was concerned that we wasn't spending in January, when buying players of quality could have made relegation less of a reality. Carlisle signed players that on paper, should have improved them. It didn't work, but at least they tried, we relied on other teams shitting the bed other than 2 very big wins. 

    We stayed up last year cause the teams below us couldn't buy a win, not our own form where we won 1 out of our last 5. Had we signed better players, we could have stayed up more comfortably, and had players ready for this season.

    Joel Randall not involved at all for Posh today.... Rumours he's off to Bolton but wonder if we'd be interested again. 
    I like the idea but suspect Peterborough will want too much for him. Apparently rejected £1.5m in the summer. Not a fan of doing business with Peterborough in general, feels like you rarely ever get the better end of any deal there.
  • I love the names being thrown about that would improve us. Sadly Jones doesn’t want to get new faces in and is quite happy with what he’s got. We’ll see a couple of loans to plug gaps but nothing building towards a better squad.

    Think Fergie Jr wants shot for attitude reasons so could be one to avoid anyway. However him going to Bolton could free up Aaron Collins....

    Luton connection, how is cauley Woodrow doing, always liked him as a player

    Think he was injured earlier in the season, currently 11 appearances no goals. Mainly used off the bench behind Morris and Adebayo.

    Despite our plethora of strikers we lack any depth for TC's current role. We need one another one that can play up front but pull wide and attack the channel. Our new shape is dependent on that width and we don't currently have another senior player who can do it.

    I’ve thought the same. Godden very much a poacher. Kanu will press and run the channels, but doesn’t have the same technical ability that TC offers. Ahadme, Aneke and Hylton for obvious reasons aren’t the answer in that role.

    Dixon is the closest outside the first team, but I’m not convinced he’s ready yet from the bits I’ve seen.

    What about Malcolm Ebiowei?

    A young Nigel ( former Derby )  who is on loan at Oxford although he hasn't been used much there. Apparently they want to recall him.

    A quick Left footed forward who can play wide , so offers something different to what we have.
  • If there is a type of player that PL academies produce by the bucketload at the moment, it's attacking wide forwards/wingers, so we really ought to be able to find someone suitable.

    I still think Jones' first priority is a 'keeper.

    Because if either AMB or Mannion are injured, we end up with a 16 year old on the bench...

    To be clear, I think Mannion is a future number 1, but it won't hurt for him to learn from an older head for a season or 2. He's quite young for a 'keeper.

    Problem is no PL team is going to send a promising winger to a team that doesn’t play with wingers. They will want guaranteed football for their player, and in the right position

    I think GK is quite hard to do in January, especially one with experience. No one wants to lose their first choice keeper half way through the season 

    I’d say our first priority should be a LCB to upgrade on Gillesphey and replace Potts’ place in the squad. After that it’s probably an attacking midfielder with a bit of pace that can take players on and maybe a RWB option

    We need a top class keeper 
    Someone to compete with Berry 
    A wide player to compete with Campbell 

    Assimwe out on Loan 
    Edun to be sold 
    Dt keep potts 
    Loan out Amb if we got a new keeper 
    If tennai Watson gets fit Loan or sell 
    If some kind of deal can be done finish up Chuks 
    A Campbell probably needs to hang around as cover 

    Be great to get Jones and small signed up

    Even if Jones getting signed up on a new deal is the only thing to happen on this list

    Bit random. Fella who posted it has only posted one other thing ever and that wasn't football related.
    Interesting

    One of my mates is a Notts County fan, and he said 3 weeks ago that he’d heard Crowley was coming to us.

    Three assists and one goal in his last three appearances.

    10 “goal involvements” (goals and assists) in 16 appearances so far this season. 25 g+a in 46 appearances last season.

    He tends to play slightly right of centre which would dove tail well with Leaburn and TC as an alternative to Luke Berry.
  • My son tells me there has been 3 bids rejected today for Lloyd Jones.
  • Not sure about Crowley as a signing... Surprised he's ended up in League Two, even with Notts County spending money, he's had a few suspect clubs (eg Morecambe) for his age in recent seasons.

    Why has he kept going backwards
