So if we have a target who the gaffer feels would improve us but it’s complexed and could be a bit of a domino effect in terms of X moving here then Y moving there before you get Z and it may take longer, should we swerve that and go for option 3 of 4 on the list so we’ve got them in for the games going on around us? 
 

it’s not just about having people in it’s also about the quality they bring because that will have an influence on the impact they make
 

personally I would rather have the quality from Feb onwards than the numbers for the next few games.. 

It's a combination of a few things but i'd expect most of the business to be after the Wimbledon game

And that’s fully expected in a Jan transfer window it’s completely different to the summer one. 
 

im sure Wycombe are sat there saying the same about getting someone in. Now it’s Morley they’ll be happy because they know he’s got quality. But it’s needed patience.

Naeem Mohammed is the latest rumour 

free agent we have been linked with before. Ghanaian winger previously played in Sweden.. 

and let’s all leave the melodramatics around how the window has been for us until next Monday eh when it actually shuts… 

So it’s not the Ghanaian striker who played in the third tier of Swedish football then?

Would be a terrible decision to get rid of Morley. Set pieces and crossing are our 2 big weaknesses, and they're what hes best at in our current squad. Over the years the home games when we struggled against a low block him coming on late for those reasons were a massive bonus.

I would never start him but for the sake of 250k and about 5k a week we should try to keep him just for the impact sub ability when something different is needed.

Aaron is that you? 🤣

Seen Celtic have signed a striker today, so had a peek on one of their forums regarding Johnny Kenny.

I have never seen a player slaughtered as much on any forum. We scouted some shite last summer

Four  Dempsey,Sheehan, Simons, Erhahon  with maximum two starting each week

Dempsey isn’t a cm and doesn’t convince me there, he’s an impact sub at best. We need another. The rumour the other day of Elliot Lee would fit the bill for example.

Suspension and a long term injury were fucked. Our squad was too big but i find it interesting that SS was all about rotation/number of games etc and now it’s borderline bare bones in central midfield  (not that some of the ones the have left were that great Randall for example). 
 

Morley isn’t the best, but would we get better for 250k? Probably not

folk were clamouring for yon lad from the yoof to get a game in midfield ahead of the wiggin match.

perhaps SS sees the yoof/b team as capable for emergency cover should we need it.

We're getting rid of the B-Team

Of course we would all take having the perfect squad from Feb onwards, if we could guarantee that. I'm just saying there's a balance when 17% of the season is played this month. And so it isn't just a case of if we sign someone on Jan 31st then alls well that ends well. It'll be one of many decisions to look back on as the season goes on.

He seemed to be in form during O'Neill's first spell, seems he's gone off the boil?

100 appearances for Bolton. 

I don't dislike him at all. But I don't think he's progressed much since he first arrived. 

I can understand why SS and the club might choose to sanction it.

But this is a player you wanted, and have  criticised the club for not stumping up the 500k to get him!??

No i wanted Jatta from Notts County. I may have said if he was the clubs main Target they should pay the extra to get him

I had no clue who Johnny Kenny was.

Forwards are hit and miss Ballard was shite last year at Blackpool, this season he is setting this league on fire at Orient.

Taylor was player of the season at Wigan yet is doing nothing this season at Blackpool. Fletcher cannot stop scoring but in the past he has been poor.

Not many forwards do it year on year so whoever we sign it will be a big gamble

Could sign Haaland and it'd do nothing if we don't getting some decent balls in.

Suppose you're right. Just thought the lad looked like a real handful last season, had toal on toast at ours and has an eye for goal

Reading that Olaofe may be available after Charlton signed Lyndon Dykes. This guy was right handful last season, I'd be all over this

Close to going back to Stockport by all accounts

Ah is that him that scored for Stockport last season?

That goal is every we need. He bullied Toal that day.

That's the one. I thought we may have made an approach in the summer but then he went to Charlton for 1.5 mill and we signed Dalby instead 🫣

In  the Stevenage thread you said you wanted Jatta or Kenny. 

You also mention if the club had backed SS with 500k to get him we might not be struggling for goals, and elsewhere that 1 million for him would have been a statement signing
