Transfer Rumours January 2024 Transfer Window - CLOSED

Jones was held "in awe" by the young players when he ran our U-21's, according to Diego Poyet.

 

If it is Nathan Jones then I have earned my ITK badge at last

My secret source that I'll never reveal - a bloke at work who heard it on TalkSport one day last week

 

last two are supposedly nathan jones and gary rowett. wouldnt be unhappy with either

 

Steve Brown says Gary Rowett is absolutely not the right man. He didn't expand, but if Brownie doesn't want him I defer to his judgement.

 

Been like this since Curbs jacking it in, minus three seasons.

 

Is that 200%?

 

No, that's the bloke down the pub.

 

It’s more 200% than we’ve bid £700K for Collins, but less 200% than Appleton being sacked last Saturday.

 

Spot on fella.

 

All very quiet

 

Am I right in believing this transfer window closes at 11pm on Thursday 1st February?
On SSN they said it was Thursday.

 

Yes. Although for us it’s effectively closed already for incomings.

 

Wasn't Dobbo off to Hungary?

 

Can’t see it myself. I think he’ll stay and either accept our best offer or leave for free in June, probably to another L1 team.

 

Yes you are I think - we do love a last minute disaster….. on and off the pitch !

 

So 30 hours left of probably the most important transfer window in the last decade or two and we have…….

no manager
no news of any quality players coming in
no fit senior striker to play alongside Alfie May
no commanding centre backs to organise our defence
no dominant goalkeeper to organise and take pressure off our defence
no attacking midfielders
no replacement for our departed most dynamic attacking player
no wing backs capable of delivering crosses into the box

However we do have…….

several unfit disinterested loan players
several injured mediocre journeymen
several academy kids who are not ready for the first team
several, several defensive midfielders fighting for two places
very rich owners (who can’t or won’t spend enough money to buy top quality players)
a huge and very well paid, professional SMT
a very tough February fixtures list which will probably see us in the bottom four

and not forgetting…….

numerous rumours……Nathan Jones, Gary Rowett, Mark Warburton, Neil Warnock, Michael Duff, Jonson Clark-Harris, Aaron Collins, Will Goodwin, Sam Nombe, the entire Reading 1st team.

What reason do we have to be pessimistic ?

 

But other than that

 

Another one gone. And not replaced by better.

 

He was a good player when he joined us. Seemed to lose motivation. DM's r us.

 

Deadline Day! Only 16 hours to go. Can barely contain my excitement
