A couple of surprises today? Thankfully we aren’t as desperate as we were a few days ago…
 
Shame! I didn't like him after the clips I saw of him for the Netflix thing. Being asked by interviewer if he was going or whatever and trying to play dumb but his face gave him away!
Yeah he doesn’t come across well on that at all but he was an Ill advised kid at the time in fairness, but I’d use this as an example to the younger lads now that the grass isn’t always necessarily greener
 
Anybody have a list of the players we have brought in this window with ages and usual position?

How many wingers do we have (Diamond has gone to Lincoln)

Good point, I think it was the slyness of it all. He tries to say he had no idea about of it in the interview and if I remember right at the time he had told the manager he was happy and was going to sign a new contract! Again could be down to age and not having the nerve to admit the truth he was going to a club in a better position playing at a higher level for more money for that who could blame him?

To be honest it worked out for the best for the club, I think we probably would have beeb promoted with him and then god knows who we would have been sold to.

That’s a good point, or even worse the chancers would chance it again and leave a right mess behind, do think maja will look back and regret it but hindsight is great, glad we won’t be coming up against him though because we all know what happens there haha

I think a couple have to go.
You would imagine players like Winchester may want to get out and play. I am wary of letting people leave personally. We have a lot of new faces and will take time to bed in. Lots of very young lads as well and like Mowbray said last night they need to be given time to show they can impact the first team. I would be asking players like Winchester to give me to January, and then helping him in every way I can to get the right move for him. Same with other fringe players as well, but I will probably be wrong. Maybe the books need to be balanced a bit.
 
I get what you are saying but not a chance I would drop O’Nien after the last two games. Even if Ballard was fit.

It would be harsh, but you play your best players. Would Liverpool leave VVD on the bench if Konate had a good game whilst he was suspended?

i would imagine there will need to be a balancing of the books,but it'll depend on how match ready they think the new lads are. Personally I can't see Bennette or Ba being ready for while,so it may be we have to hang on to one or two as you say for the time being.I would say the ones likely to go would be Winch,Embo and Dajaku.
 
How ridiculous is this? I know he is only on loan but what a difference in transfer business from a coupe of years ago. 4th most expensive deadline day signing since 2002.

I’m sure it was about £20m but add-ons could take it to £37m
