Just to reiterate my stance.

The window has been very positive. Especially from within the club, they've probably made a fortune and only lost Jack Clarke whilst vastly improving our defence and midfield.

Wilson Isidor is a lad that excites me, I really hope he can bring the competition Mayenda needs. I also hope he can stay fit for at least 90% of the season.

I don't think the window has been a failure, but I do think Speakman has failed. He'll know that.

The striker we've brought in will be given all the time in the world by the majority of fans, like Hemir and Mayenda.

Just hope we turn up and smash these ****ers today, I've taken a disliking to them since we showed them how tinpot they are. Will take a draw if we aren't on form.

I'm over it now, it's all about seeing the lads develop and play, so far it's been honestly the best stuff I've seen.

I hope they've got a lad in mind for January, whether we need them or not!
I’m optimistic about this Nigerian

There maybe an out of contract surprise looming. You never know!
 
Wanted more support for Mayenda, but didn’t want him pushed out. Just have to hope he keep developing the way he has been under RLB. Got to have a lot of faith in the manager now, least he has a system and way of playing. Younger players will have to step up now
 
I agree with the goal spread, we've already shown that. Shame Roberts is so shy!
Roberts seems to over hit things. He needs confidence and composure. Not sure Poveda is it either. I’d have liked goals from that side. Hopefully Scout is right and they come from everywhere and it’s very possible Isidor will get a few. I thought Mayenda was poor as an attacking force last week though. Worked, closed down and all of that big seemed naive near the goal. I didn’t want an older player btw, I just thought we needed someone with a senior level goalscoring knack.
 
That's irrelevant.

Wherever he's played, how effective he is and whether or not he's a good buy it's undeniable he's a striker ...

... no matter how many times it's repeated, like Poveda always being injured, doesn't change the facts.
The worry is what happens should we not have Mayenda or Mundle? Does Isidor then become left winger and Rusyn bumped to striker? It's just a bit awkward. Similar to defence, I suppose, but I feel we are already acquainted with O9 playing rb.
 
A baby striker with 60 seconds of men’s football in his career. Just not good enough
Having watched clips he’s strong and physical. Obviously it’s just highlights and not against seasoned professionals but it’s promising and he certainly looks like he can press. Look forward to seeing him develop.

I think Roberts sometimes doesn't hit things as well, like when it opened up against Burnley, I had visions of mayenda when he lashed it home the week before, Roberts always looks for a pass. It's engrained in him.

The team in Belgium sees something. They signed him from those sand pitches in Nigeria. The Belgian leagues and even Scandinavian leagues have signed those players for a while, gift orban, boniface etc.

im excited
No doubt mate. Let's hope he's a fast learner. He could be just brilliant in training, come off the bench one day and score and the rest is history.
 
Every good striker was an unknown and "discovered" at sometime in their career aka Kevin Phillips, Jamie Vardy to name just 2 off the top of my head
 
I wonder if we’ve agreed a deal with Mepham already for when his contract ends at the end of the season.
Wouldn’t be surprised, this window feels a bit more like the winter league one window bringing some loans but with absolute intention to keep them if all goes to plan.

I wonder how much Caen wanted in the end for Mendy? Rumours say they wanted €5 million plus maybe why we said no but I would’ve been way happier with Mendy than another unproven kid from Europe.

It’s done now no point whinging, just got to hope that the new lads help kick us on

It's not just the money imo.

We have a great team spirit ...

... do we really want someone who'll go on strike to get away?

Perhaps the two clubs agreed terms and he wanted daft wages, or a guaranteed number of games?

Balls to it, we either trust the club or endlessly second guess everything they do without the facts ...

... I really couldn't be arsed, it must be exhausting.
