    Ideally to come on and slow a game down/protect a lead, main concern is this is a pure nostalgia signing like Defoe was

    IMO, it'll be a bad decision to let Pritch go. He has been one of our better players this season and brings much needed experience and creativity to the team.

    If it was me, I would be giving him a new contract, but I'm not in charge of contracts so sadly, I think he will go.

    Me too mate, one year extension with the option of another year would be perfect but can understand him wanting to secure himself a deal elsewhere if there’s nothing on the table here

    I agree, however I think we expected way too much from Defoe. He was 39 and was barely playing in Scotland yet we expected him to start games and fire us to promotion. Yann on the other hand can be used in a much different way like you mentioned.

    MVilla.... If it happened hope they confident it wouldn't be a Defoe scenario.

    i reakon he could he’s a class act and seemed like he looked after himself so 33 is just fine for me.

    That would be a seriously good window wouldn't it?

    A lot better than the summer window, no doubting that.

    If he’s still half the player he was, he’ll walk into our midfield.

    Yep would be very good and maybe the Japanese striker as well if being greedy, he can learn from moore n be our main striker next yr. Rusyn then used as a winger or as a 2nd striker

    Mvilla wont be the player some folk think he will be, watched him a couple times last yr n he was so slow in the games i watched - the championship is so fast so he will need to get up to speed quickly. However, im hoping he would have a posiitve influence on the young cms. Hope he was only slow last season as the league is slow, so played down to the speed of the league rather than him losing his mobility

    Thomas would be class

    Think it depends really. Them three signing this window would make an instant impact, but none of them will be at the club long term I don't think. Whereas if in three years time we sell Jobe and Mayenda for example for big money we will be looking back thinking that was a good window. We absolutely need to find a better balance between players for now and players for the future though and this would be a good start.

    And last January as well

    Hoping we look back on last summers window and think it was great, if the players reach their potential but at the min its been poor in terms of instant returns

    Think I will keep my trap shut, as I would dampen the mood. Hope he proves to be what people hope if he comes in.

    Luke Thomas would be very good mate. Hoping for that one. Kieffer Moore, honestly not certain he suits us but hope I am wrong. Genuinely believe there are better fit for us strikers in the championship we could go for.

    I know I shouldn’t cos there’s no guarantee he’s half the player we saw last time but it’s been such a dull month I’ve got myself all giddy about this one haha

    Agree on everything you say.

    However, Beale at QPR used Lyndon Dykes as a target man so I'm wondering if that is the thought process here.
