Some wonderful speculation on potential targets in January. There is not a cat in hells chance of those players coming here, until the new owner arrives. Slippery at this time of year, comes out with a sound byte such as last years nonsense, promising fans 3 fee’d players. Of course it came to nothing.
Unless he can get a crocked Albanian forward from their 5th division for a packet of smarties and a Milky Way, forget it. Even then no doubt old slippery will have him on hp.

Do you really think that DE would damage the club by withholding funds for players? The club sliding down the table would be more valuable than a club still challenging for the playoffs and larger crowds? Thank you for sharing your misery by posting this nonsense.

As much as I’d like us to sign some tall, athletic, pacy players in January I doubt it’s going to happen.
We have Mehmeti, van Kessel, Raglan, Pekalski & Long all training again. We actually have a fairly large squad, certainly compared to the previous 2 seasons under Appleton.
In my view we have a squad of quantity rather than a smaller one of quality. This is the decision taken at the start of the season and it’s where we are now.
If finances allow I’d personally release 4-5 players and replace with 2-3 tall, athletic pacy players, with youngsters such as Carroll, Napa helping to fill places on the bench.
At league 1 level with a limited budget it baffles me that some fans are obsessed with having a large squad.

If the rumour about Van Kessel going back is true then I would say the one player we do need to bring in is a pacey wide player, the best one we can get whether he be a right or left sided player.
I would be suprised if we signed more than two players, I should imagine they will be loanees at this stage of the year, rather than out of contract players as anyone who hasn't got a club by January must be a bit desperate. We certainly won't be paying fees.

There are lots of things that could affect what is going to happen in January.
If Gino goes then we will have to replace him (winger/ quick forward).
Then of course there is Mowatt and Payne. I assume that both will stay. If either goes then they will need replacing.
Right back? With Ribeiro retiring, then there is potentially a place there as well.
Roberts and Ashby are off by the sounds of it which makes the squad a little smaller. I reckon that Pekalski could be a very good player if fit and that will strengthen us in the middle.
Where I think that we are weak is in Central defence. With Nelson out then we are short (personally I don't think that Martin is adequate back up). So I would do the following:
Let go Roberts/ Ashby/ Martin/ Gino
Bring in- pacy right back, pacy winger, Quality pacy Centre Back. And if a couple of those are loanees from the Championship/ Premiership then fine but they have to be a little more ready than Tyler Roberts was (more like what he is like now!!)

You’re very bitter aren’t you? More of a lager man myself. If you find yourself happy with the current situation regarding eales then fine. The "hot dog/I'm one of the lads" period was great, a breath of fresh air. Many months later, with two investors turned down, fans misled on many occasions, the majority of our better players sold for good money that wasn't reinvested, total confusion from eales regarding the ground, and like many other fans I feel let down and misled.
Oh and its the years anniversary of "feesgate" as well.

I’m happy to let things play out and see where we are going not try and second guess things and make up rubbish when there is generally no issues.

So explain 2 turnover offers turned down, when? Misled fans on many occasions, when? Sold our best players, Johnson and Lunny but never reinvested the money, you sure? When was the ground DE priority?

I’ve just heard we will be signing -
a crocked Albanian forward from their 5th division
And we’re getting him really cheap.
I’m not going to divulge my source but he’s usually right apart from the times he’s was completely wrong

Also need a CB as we have 4, one of which isn't good enough and 1 been injured whole season. We also need a RB. So atleast 3 players needed in January in my opinion. I think it's a must that all of these positions are filled.

Plus Long is getting back soon isn’t he and I seem to recall way back when that he can fill in for both fullback positions.

Long is back only until he gets injured again... He's had such rotten luck with injuries recently
