Unlike us to sell a load of first teamers first, then panic late in the window, miss out on all transfer targets and even fail on deadline day emergency loan targets. That's not happened over and over and over, has it. It's almost like we have come so far with every window and learned so many key lessons on how a football club should work.

Expect a couple more signings for the under 23's, and maybe 1 or 2 4th division German players at ACM. Playing the rest of the Season without a single striker at the club.

I do wish you would stop judging SW and DF on past manager's errors. The majority of "4th division" Germans etc they have brought in have vastly improved our squad. Get yourself some Tennerman pads! <whistle>
 
Who was that player.....It was around the time I kept on at my Dad to take me and my brother to games.. He was on loan, and he looked like one of the best strikers in the world! He made a laughing stock of every defence I saw him run at. We then signed him and I was so happy, and he barely scored after.

Neilson? Nilsen? He was from Norway or something? He was a loan signing who was outstanding. Until we signed him. Then he did nothing.

He did well getting rid of Hucks didn't he, it wasn't the numbder of loans with him, it was his decision-making in who to bring in.

You rarely get the same level of commitment from loan players dropping down to practice .
Gunn being an exception because he has a love for the club.

So you don't rate Reed, Hanley, Angus etc?

They aren't German.

Angus and Reed are further loans.

Angus, Obviously class, but he was ours before Man City screwed us over.

Reed, looks decent. Wouldn't say he was a game changer, and has been dropped a lot.

Hanley I knew would be a good player if he kept his discipline. Which he seems to atm.

I wouldn't call this the bulk of the German imports looking great.
 
We haven't signed any 4th division German players. Zimmerman was Dortmund's 4th CB, who played with their second team in the 4th division to get game time and stay match fit. That doesn't make him a 4th division player. Trybull played in the Bundesliga, and the others played in the second division like we do here.

Camjam and Russ officially gone. Along with Wildschut and Pritchard.

1 inexperienced loan midfielder in.

When one of the main priorities is to drastically reduce the wage bill surely you have to accept that we had to move players on before we bring new faces in. In the unlikely event of no fresh faces coming in then I will join your criticism of SW. As it is we have moved on 4 players who had the original PL contracts and as 3 of them were near the top of the list of players that people on here wanted to see go, I cannot see any need to moan unless, as I say, there are no further incomings.
