Hyam and Porteous with Carter Wharton and Phillips as back up? Pretty solid collection of CBs Now time to work on every other position…

Depends on how Hyam is…

That feels like an inevitable anyway. I don’t think 2 new players will be enough.

Fits the agenda..

The lad might be decent, the underwhelming aspect for me is it’s another centre midfielder of short stature when everyone has noticed that we get bullied in midfield and are crying out for someone who can bully back. This guy doesn’t look like he’d be that but happy to be proven wrong

Come on Rich, where are you? We need you to piss on this underwhelming bonfire

What is his right position?

Could just be haemorrhoids

Think he came through their youth ranks and then Leeds signed him after Wigan’s financial disaster. Might be what swings it for him going back “home”. Was going to say he probably won’t get many chances to feed off of there, but it’s pretty similar at Rovers…

While I’d definitely take Gelhardt, signing Caulker and an Arsenal youngster wouldn’t jump out at me as top business

I wasn’t responding to you Mr Crabtree Wrestler 😉😉😉😉

Jesus Christ, we’re a week into January. We’ve not even played a game since the first day of the window and won’t play a league one for another week. The obsession, and anger, fans have with transfer window activity is a bit much at times

Fair enough if you think you’ve seen enough in him for that role. Speaking subjectively he’s looked barely good enough for league one to me, in any position

Agreed. You have to be able to pass the ball to play left midfield don’t you??

Certainly not defending JDT too much. We’ve mostly won games by accident it feels. Guess there’s two ways of looking at it, either that’s a really good thing for a team who SHOULD improve more and more with new additions and time with a new system in general or the style of play just isn’t very good and we’ve been extremely fortunate to accrue the points we have now. I’m still not sure which side of that I go along with

I personally felt people were looking at Wharton through blue and white glasses last season, which is understandable. His form this season isn’t that different to last, let’s remember he was a constant in a team that was diabolical in the 2nd half of last season. He was gifting the ball to the opposition as much last season, even without the stupid incessant passing around at the back of this season. All that said, hope he turns it around and becomes the solid defender he’s shown himself to be at times

Probably had a move sorted but misplaced his train ticket or was too slow to react to his Uber arriving

Walcott being touted for a loan move to the Championship. Would take him for a season if wage contribution wasn’t too high. Good pro to have around, could surely offer something.

God no. Shouldn’t be anywhere near him

Or equally about 5-2 to us. Teams have chances, it happens

Usually happens after a win

Have to give teams a pasting to make some people on here happy

But that’s the nature of the market at the moment for the Championship. How many teams have signed an out and out goalscorer permanently? There won’t be many. It’s always a risk. At least we’re trying before we’re buying. If it doesn’t work, we don’t pay. Better than having someone on the books that we’ve massively paid over the odds for and can’t hit a a barn door.

He was injured

What’s that smell…?
