JANUARY TRANSFER WINDOW

[Bigdoggsteel]

Pilkington was decent, but he seems to have went downhill the past few years

[Bigdoggsteel]

Wow, he is only 30. Takes frees and pens, so thats why his goal stats are high 

[Dreams of 1995]

82 pages. No signings.

A record.

Don't think it is actually.

In the summer thread we seemed to average one signing per 100 pages, so keep going everyone and we might get someone in.

[Bigdoggsteel]

In fairness, the thread opened in in November, not last week 

[G Somerset Rover]

IMO we should steer clear of Pilkington (not that we're linked). He's done nothing of much worth for a good while and we have enough slow attacking players.

The window where we only signed Benjani on a free must have been more than 82 pages before he signed?

Subtle would have been to send people scurrying to google by calling him Charles V1

I don't think there's much wrong with our starting formation, given the players we have. Our downfall this season has been in the last 15 mins of matches. Usually the time when we've made subs.

Priority has to be to bring in some players that are either good enough to play in our current system i.e. a Graham replacement or a proper wide forward. OR bring in players good enough to play in a changed formation i.e. proper wingers.

At the moment the subs aren't good enough for either.

 

Expand  

Everybody except the manager appears to know that we need proper wingers. The forwards don't know how to play as wingers and the full backs just aren't good enough.

Is this supposed to mean we’re close to someone? (Don’t say Josh Brownhill)

Get knudson from Ipswich for left back because he has 6 months left on his deal.

Or don't because he's a terrible football player. Decisions!

From Sharpe's tweet I assume we have somebody lined up to replace Palmer? Either that or he's expecting/been told we'll be bringing in a replacement.

Either that or he's on about Palmer. Shut out of here and straight into Bristol City

Bloody ambiguous tweets.

[Madon]

It'll just be Lyons on a permanent, but then from what I've heard he will be straight off to St Mirren for the rest of the season.

Good move. Looks like he's caught the eye in the U23s so good to see if he can do it at a decent level like the SPL. He's 21 too, so probably of the age where we can't afford to hang about with exposing him to men's football.

I found this tweet from Sharpe to be ambiguous and confusing. It seems he meant Palmer found a new club, but frankly, who cares?  My initial reaction was we had signed someone
