    I genuinely wish it was about to be boring, but I think we are in for the most bonkers deadline day in god knows how long

    Agree. How distracting it is that have a match that night too? Think NJ might bite his nails down to the quick.

    I know what military time is. Is that interstellar time?

    Maybe I’m deluded and just in denial but still think JRS happens if he’s not moved by the end of the weekend.

    His agent might be holding off for something better but surely he’d rather JRS move to us than not move at all.
    Some of our fans would still want JR-S to sign if he had both legs amputated.

    Which player are you talking about?
    Ooooops.🫢
    We don't have a player called Ooooops. Are you referring to Ouma?

    Large we play Wednesday night but still a bit of a distraction.

    Well sorry to be a Neanderthal but JRS needs to punch his agent in the face, rip his head off and shit down his neck!!! 
    I think I read somewhere that his agent is a relative... Be hard trying to explain that at the next family gathering!

    Palmer of Luton looks a good player strong and fast. Cm 
    I wanted us to sign him as soon as last season ended, but he re-signed for Luton, where he had shone on loan. Exactly the type we need.

    There is no way the JRS transfer is being held up by a rogue agent. There is something more to this issue.

    Also if the deal is dead, why aren't we connected with Shade or McCowatt?

    Seeing as @stjohnshill told us earlier we’re possibly looking at getting a striker in is this because we now want to send Mbick out on loan again?

    Personally I’d still keep Kanu as long as could convince him to sign a new contract although I know that won’t be easy.
    Could be that Godden is worse than anticipated.
    Multiple weeks currently. This was the risk resigning him sadly 
    Personally didn't want to re-sign him for that reason but hard to ignore that pedigree he has.

    Don't suppose you know for sure what positions have been made a priority given recent regulations? 
    CB, RW and maybe a striker. Need to shift about 5/6 too 
    so the 5/6 would be

    Kaminski
    Asiimwe
    Apter
    Doc
    Knibbs?

    Kanu too I would imagine 
    I knew I'd forgotten someone obvious!

    I reckon 2 more.  I am sure we’re aiming for what St JH has mentioned, but with the way these things play out, we’ll end up with a cover CB and a RW

    Can’t see anything other than a loan for Apter.  Asiimwe could also be a loan.  Doc will be let go for a small fee.  Kaminski we will get some money for.  Can’t call Kanu.  The closer we get to the deadline, the more I think it will be a loan.  Possibly Knibbs if we do secure 3.  JRC stays on the basis we’d be short the fact he can operate at RB and CM, plus he’s got a few years left on his contract- I just can’t see him going.  I’d even go so far as to say he may have a bit more of a role to play this season

    Because we've moved on from them clearly

    Kaminski
    Kanu
    Asiimwe
    Apter
    Doc
    Knibbs

    I didn't think that Knibbs and Apter would leave, but it seems that Fullah won't be fit in time to complete his loan move

    IF we do end up swinging and missing on JRS (that’s still and IF at the moment) a Burton player isn’t gonna do it. They need to come up with something big between now and Tuesday.

    Sakamoto or Kasey McAteer would do it.

    McAteer on a season loan (or a similar standard player) and JRS would be forgotten quite quickly.

    This is what I'm expecting to happen. I can't see us allowing ourselves to go into Saturday with Asiimwe and one of the U21 CBs as the cover on the bench defensively. 


    We have some very promising youngsters in the u21s and u18s but none of them are CBs.

    Thanks, for some reason I had it in my head that the WBA game was Tuesday. I can enjoy transfer deadline day now with no distractions.

    We move on - 

    Injuries will be crucial this year - we have a mid table first eleven that becomes bottom 6 if crucial players get injured. 

    Jones will be juggling again.

    He desperately wants us to do well and will put pressure where he can to get us outcomes.


    And they will. Chalabah and Bell are a matter of time. 
  • Stanley Mills has joined Preston, three-year deal. 
    We should have pursued this really

    If enzenwata had stayed I wonder if he could have found himself close to first team action

    Loan out Fullah 

    Sign CB, Winger Job done 

    I expect the delay in loaning out Fullah (to MKD) is linked to us being open to moving on Knibbs.

    If anyone snaps up Knibbs over the next few days then we would probably keep Fullah as back up for Carey.

    JRC and Grant can also of course fill in on that AM position too when needed.

    Maybe we did but 1. it sounds like Preston have pretty much been the destination of choice from the outset so we didn't have much choice, 2. We were hoping to get JRS instead, a better option 
  • Dan Scarr available from Wrexham (last year of contract) and linked with Reading. Always impressed me when I’ve seen him play against us. Aggressive like Jones and Billy. Cheaper wages than Coady and Championship experience.

    I’m sure they’ll keep in touch . 
  • Well we've got about £5 mill burning a hole in our pockets and other teams know it. I just hope we spend wisely and well. No crocks and no L1 hopefuls......

    McAteer on a season loan (or a similar standard player) and JRS would be forgotten quite quickly.
    The location of where the player is playing isn’t a particularly important factor. We’ve had horrendous premier league loans and some of our best current players came from League one and two (Ramsay, Jones… etc) Shade has done well in last couple of years with Burton and will probably be playing in the championship by the end of this season. Not saying he’s the answer, but the fact he’s not a prem loan doesn’t bother me.
