t**t.

But they are injured now, and we've had a similar number of injuries for the last month or so.

there are a number of reasons why we can’t just sign extra players for the entire remainder of the season and put them in storage when players return to full fitness

I suppose the club will put forward that Henry has stepped up and G’OD has improved, as a softener, if nothing else gets done tonight..?

Don’t shoot the messenger…

Maybe they could give Henry an extra year contract extension to really soften the blow?

The injury ti Goodwin wasn’t known at the time

Des suggested that the medical team picked it up in the medical check.
He said that it was identified as a minor injury.
Are you suggesting that you know more or he is lying?

 

[bdodwell]

If it was picked up after price agreed then maybe we got a discount, or at least a money off voucher to spend.

Obviously Marriott was the striker Des hoped for, reckon we shouldn't expect anything happening now.

Genuine question: Have I missed something? Why is it ‘obvious’?

If they return

My thoughts exactly.

It’s not obvious, but a lot of people nowadays like to parade their opinion around as fact.

If we get that Harry Leonard deal over the line, and now nobody is exiting then it will be a sound performance by the recruitment team

You have changed your tune!

Im not sure Marriott was our main man this January. For me, one more striker tonight and I think in the real world we are well stocked.
Obviously in the summer we can exploit the considerable wages we lose from our wage bill.

 

[The mighty Aldo]

I think Marriot may have been a target until we signed Goodwin
After that I couldn’t see us forking out for an ageing striker

Not really when we’ve got one loan space unused! That’s negligence

I agree with people that we are a bit short in CM. JM hasn't set the world alight, Smyth who I would like to see there is untested and then we are heading to Rodrigues for cover there.

Bit strong.

"Sooner rather than later" - interesting.

Karl Robinson on Sky Sports News right now as an expert talking about transfers on deadline day
I turned it straight over to The Repair Shop

...And they were repairing an old broken Karl Robinson squad?

I agree that it will have been sound, but also think that given our injury list it would leave us a little short.
