Transfer Window January 2024 Transfer Window Thread

[TailsWeWin]

Looking at other results from the FA Cup involving third tier v top level second tier teams and it makes for grim reading. We thought Peterborough were impressive and they were bowled over 0-3 by Leeds as well. Of our promotion challengers left in the Cup, only Bolton held Luton to a draw. Barnsley, Portsmouth and Derby were already out.

It maybe stresses the difference between L1 and the Championship even more. We were thumped by a mid-ranking Bristol City side in the League Cup and taken to town by Coventry in the FA Cup. You can find reasons to explain away aspects of both defeats but ultimately it comes down to them having much better players than us.

Plenty needed to take us to the next step and I never thought that would be ready in the summer and winter windows. There's still plenty of amendments needed to the squad for us to get to that next level.

There’s a massive gap between mid Championship and top six League One. Lots of work to do!

Does this mean recalled? Still no club communication

Thats what it says.

Thats what it says.

Thought returned may just mean for a period of time then come back, but based on the injury it sounds like he is gone definitely now.

For the best.

Still no club communication

Is anyone surprised?!

The silence is deafening.

Totally agree, but it also highlighted the players we have who many thought we’re good enough for the Championship are well off the mark/level required, so if we miraculously did get promoted we’d be virtually an whole squad rebuild!!

Have the club had their fax machine serviced lately, I wonder??

Paper jam.

I don’t get this, he’s a Everton player.
Only right we as a club say nothing, until after his parent club.
Same with Beadle.

 

[Jster]

Well, his parent club have spoken...

 

[Oufcluke34]

Love the communication from our football club,absolutely embarrassing

 

[MiddleBartonYellow]

Everton would want to manage his recovery I would have thought.

I can understand Beadle a bit more, since clearly uncertainty with regards end destination and Brighton may not want to announce until all ends tied up.
Mills however surely could have worked to ensure both clubs communicated at the same time.

His parent club said something 30 mins ago. How anyone can defend the club not keeping the fans informed of these things I just do not understand.

I just got a fax from the club. Apparently we have to sell Lee Nogan.

We are saving on electricity by letting Everton do it for us.

Fax machines still on page 58 of 3850 of the planning application
