That *was* the January Window

I’d like to think he will be an excellent player at this level now he’s over his injuries and settles into life in England. The quality is there to see and could easily be next seasons smodicz

[DeeCee]

We need players, I'd sign anyone at the moment.

[ben_the_beast]

I think Siggy would be a good signing. I don't think we've seen the best of him yet but he's still made significant contributions, even if he's blown hot and cold. 

We're also crying out for a bit of consistency in the attacking areas. Season upon season, we're relying on loans at the top end of the pitch with our star players leaving on frees or loans expiring.

siggy is definately worth signing,his finishing is top class.which is what we need

thoroughly expecting the egg,swag and kimberley to **** up the deal sadly

If the deal doesnt go through, it wont be down to any of them. It will be financial, thus down to Venkys.

broughton and swag did a great job with lewis o`brien i must admit😂

[Mercer]

On balance, I'd sign him.

Been a bit of hit and miss but there is definitely quality there and no fee!

Think he joined us with a 'groin issue' and I'm not certain he's ever been 100%, yet - might account for some ups and downs

We have signed a lot, lot worse and for bigger money.

[Wheelton Blue]

The jury is out for me. I'm not convinced he has the bottle for week in, week out, English football.

He knows how to finish,  that’s for sure.

As we usually take short corners I don't think we will be inerested. If he was a 6ft 4 center-forward I would think we would be interested.

Perhaps with some height in the squad the tactics for corners would change?

I doubt it.

Im guessing spending half a million on a young player in one of our "least weak" positions is at best unlikely.

With Venkys, the least logical is always the most likely.

One of the main complaints about the team is a lack of height, yet we won't be interested because we only take short corners ?

Wow

[rigger]

Center-half is one of the few positions we are reletively well stocked in, and you think with our budget we would be after signing another.

And one of the few where we could sell for a decent amount of money and make a huge profit .

That's were we are at the moment in case you hadn't realized

Or not depending how the contract is written. This season he would be a bench warmer, behind Hill, Hyam and Wharton. Who knows what next season would bring. The main factor is, how is he at fucking about with the ball at the back ?

Didn't we buy Pickering from there and loan him back (I think).

Maybe do the same with this lad (if we are interested)

[JohnD]

I doubt we'd get anything for him but it would release cash for wages if we can shift Dolan in January. He's still not signed a contract has he?

Better than Gally

Gallagher seems a weird obsessive focus of yours.

We actually could do with him back ASAP. We miss him, as much as he is average.

If it means another player reverts back to their favoured position, I am in agreement. I still cannot get my head round not playing the strikers we have. They may even be not up to it, but they may well be better than the players we are fielding at the moment, in those positions.

Buckley has picked up a long term injury at Sheffield Wednesday.
