Transfer News 2022/23 Season Incoming Transfers and a few other things

[GeneralLee]

Seeing that Reading have re-signed Shane Long today got me thinking - if we could re-sign one active player for purely nostalgic reasons, who would it be? I suppose Roofe and Baldock are the obvious choices?

Jerome Sinclair is the injection of nostalgia that this forum needs.

I wonder if we will look back on a January window in which we signed Marcus Browne and first saw Sam Baldock and Ciaron Brown in yellow as ‘very poor’

Time will tell

We didn't actually sign Sam Baldock in the January window - he was a February free agent signing! But we did also sign Oisin Smyth on deadline day.

I said it at the time, but it could turn out to have been a good long-term window. If Browne stays fit and Smyth turns out to be another Irish star, then it will have been.

As a short-term window i.e. setting us up for success last season, it was terrible. All we did was replace Thornily with Brown. Failing to bring in proper defensive midfield and defensive cover cost us a playoff place.

Doubt it was said after the game last night he won’t be training till Friday

Listening to LB-S’s post match interview last night (anyone know where Robbo was btw?) Sinclair might not even be ready for training on Friday. Sounds completely broken, as I guess we should expect after not kicking a ball for over a year

Quality over quantity.

Jefferson Louis is available

It is extraordinary that there aren’t even any strong rumours apart from Findlay and maybe Whyte.

 

[Yellowken]

It'll be worth listening to the pre-match analysis on Rad Ox at 7.30pm.

 

[MJB]

He wears number 69 at Arsenal.

FYI.

Does the business at both ends, I hear.

 

[Chippy]

Quality over quantity.

Do u mean short term or the remainder of the window?

We need quantity as well don’t we?

Both would be great but I’d take 7 or 8 B class signings over 3 or 4 A class, and a few E class to make up the numbers if that‘s the plan of what we’re getting?

We’ve been told Scarlett, Morton, Thompson all top end prem league loans, and a few unnamed from the championship too!

I’d call those vague rumours tbh

Giving the starting 11 for Derby a run out tonight then...

Mostly posted by scotchegg so describing as vague rumours would surely be very unfair?

 

[TailsWeWin]

Anyone know if Sinclair is playing tonight?

We’ll never know.

Dom Thompson is the only one I can claim, the rest are repeated from others.

Robinson was at the game.

To be honest, that 11 would beat over half of teams in this division and give the rest a run for their money.
It is of course well short of where we hoped or thought we would be...or indeed where we need to be.
It is also obviously not play-off standard.
With a few additions, life will still be good this season...

That’s a good team as long as no one ever gets injured!
