Not happening.

Got all the attributes except the most important one for a striker

David Dunn needs to lay-off the smack.

Yeah not for me.

Starved out by the owners

[JHRover]

Not only have we failed to strengthen, we have weakened. They'll pretend that part of that is down to injuries rendering important players unavailable, I think that is an inevitable consequence of their decisions and recruitment. They'll also pretend that the departure of Baker was an unforeseeable and uncontrollable shock but it really wasn't when you rely on loans to fill up your squad.

Hats off to Venkys, it takes some doing not only to refuse to help us strengthen but to actually make what was already a threadbare squad even weaker during a key phase of the season. Where would we be without them.

If Eustace does want out as per the other thread, then there’s going to be nobody at the club pushing to get players in. 
 

A Venky shit show with no end in sight.

[BigHoz]

1 win in 9.

12 points dropped since the window opened. 
 

“be patience”

”better signings come towards the end”

12 points to late. Anyone who defends this club is a joke.

Could have gone for Ryan Giles

Who actually owns him these days? More clubs than Nick Faldo that lad.

The transfer deadline draws ever nearer! We might as well close this thread now because anything of worth/quality simply isn't going to happen. The death spiral continues - SO predictable!

He's scored 3 goals this season (no assists) and they bought him for nearly £3m in the summer.

Not the brightest is he, Dunn.

We see Gueye week in week out, but what about the other lad?

[neophox]

Have a feeling Kampioka and Kargbo are lazy journalism.... they would not improve us.

Yeah when your marquee signing is someone like Kargbo when you look at the deals everyone else is making it makes you cringe. 

[neophox]

Nahki Wells 34 year old almost scored two goals today hitting the winner... thats the calibre needed. One who knows how to score in this league.

[JHRover]

Positives for Steve Waggott:

Only 3 wins to secure Championship status

Manager hasn't resigned mid-season (yet) despite the usual Venky shenanigans

3/4 of the way through a transfer window and £0 spent

Wage bill lower than it was going into the window

All good in the boardroom folks - it's us fools who want / expect better than that.

If Eustace wants out he should walk but again I disagree with Eddie in a lot of things re Eustace but he did know what he was coming in to

He won't walk, but he'll be putting the feelers out for a new job in the summer.

He's been badly, badly let down when even a smidgen of investment would have us comfortably in the playoffs.

No-one in their right mind would just walk away from a well paid job.

If he is intent on leaving he'll find something else  soon enough.

[neophox]

Venky’s/Pasha/Waggott OUT!!

We don’t know what promises he was made.

Disagree, if assurances were made along the lines of "Yes we know what happened with the last manager but lessons have been learnt and you'll be backed" then you're entitled to take that at face value initially.

A cursory glance at how they treated JDT before signing his contract would let him know that they don't keep their promises. 

[neophox]

Saw something on FB about interest on Thierry Small (left back). Dont know if its accurate.

His issue is Pasha/Waggott will likely be demanding big bucks for him. What’s he got left, 18 months? If he does want to leave soon, then he may need to resign or strike a deal.
