We need another forward desperately. If we were serious about promotion Dembele should have been in our sights

And he might have been but if Bournemouth are paying him more wages than we probably pay our best player then we can't compete with that

Haven't we used our 5 loan spots now with Giles coming in?

You can have as many as you want. 5 in a matchday squad.

We needed another forward or an attacking midfielder who could chip in with 10 goals.

4months to identify a striker and get a deal done, easiest gig on the planet

Is Poveda included in that ? .. he won’t Be in match day squad for a while 

Yeah he is.

So considering he won't be back until April, there is room for another loan should we want too.

Let's not forget that Parker is a shite manager.

But despite that I still think we'll be fighting for a top 6 place. QPR will overtake us.

We needed someone to shoulder the burden of knocking goals in and if anyone can't see that they must be either stubborn or need an optician.

People forget we are 2nd despite other teams already having better players than us.

Tony has stumbled on a system that works great. While we are defensively solid we have every chance of second. Bournemouth have no chance of catching Fulham..

Jack Wilshere is still available and I hope that he’ll be a free agent signing after the window closes. 

Why? Over-rated, over-hyped, over-injured.

He's a Southern softie, he wouldn't come north to prove himself.

That’s match day squad, not whole squad

the limit of 5 relates to the matchday squad. We can have as many loanees as we like, but only 5 in any matchday squad.

Que?

[CambridgeRover]

If we only get a left back in that is pathetic. 

Surely there are moves we could do. 

[Fraserkirky]

Just getting in Giles is not acceptable.

Oh we fluttered around with a right back from Exeter. Ludicrous.

Stumbled being the primary word

We have signed other players in the window though?

All of them. They have proved their worth by getting us into the top two. That is fact, not what might happen.

The fact is we have a guy with 20 goals and the nearest to him has 6, and that player isn't played as a striker even when we have no strikers and is by no means first choice.

Brereton stops scoring or is out for a sustained period and who is going to provide goals on a consistent basis to keep us in the top two?

He'd be perfect to market the products of our shirt sponsor though.

Rich Sharpe said that as things stand, it will just be Giles. 

Rich also took forever to tell us about Zeefuik and Giles, and even denied our interest in Markanday at one point. Ignore him.

If darrenrover has heard what I've heard, he's right. They'd be legit statements in this league BUT I hasten to add that I don't think either is actually likely to happen personally.
