    Bit too similar to Connolly to me. I think Broadhead is a talent, but not the profile we need, unless a perm, then maybe for a good price.

    Anyone hear RLB saying no new transfers coming in this window, so we just keep on brining on youngsters.
    Where has the Clarke money gone ?????

    Yeah can’t see where he’d fit in either he’s not getting in on the left when mundles fit, would be a good bench option I guess

    Upgrade on Adil, Rusyn etc, but hardly a move to push on us significantly. I would sooner let the young uns come through and replace Adil and Rusyn tbh.

    He didn't say that, he was saying there were players coming back from injury so might not be as much business in Jan as folk think

    Almost like it helps to listen sometimes.

    Nobody heard him say that, Bob, because that’s not what he said.

    Quite right as well. We can't carry a huge squad, that's life and our squad when all fit is pretty good

    I'd imagine a lot of our January business will be dictated by outgoings. Ba, Aouchiche, Bennette, Anderson, Rusyn all seem surplus to requirements plus you could definitely see loans for players like Hjelde, Johnson and others. We have a large group but some of them aren't trusted, so we could easily remove 5 or more players and replace them with 2/3 and improve massively.

    Apart from not saying that today, our squad is

    GK
    Patto, Moore, Blondy
    RB
    Hume, Johnson, Crompton, Huggins
    CB
    Mepham, 09, Ballard, Hejdle, Alese, Seelt, johnson
    LB
    Cirkin, Alese, Hejdle, Huggins
    CM
    Jobe, Rigg, Neil, Browne, Samed, H Jones, Adil
    RW
    Roberts, Poveda, Ba, Mayenda
    LW
    Mundle, Watson, Jewi
    CF
    Isidor, Connelly, Mayenda, Rusyn, Trey

    Now you could argue Ba, Adil, Rusyn, Jewi need shifting and Jones, Crompton, johnson are on loan or need loans, but how many players do you think we need or can afford?

    When you look at that, we have pretty good strength in depth. The problem is we seem prone to long-term injuries. There is a few on there I would expect to be moved on and a few who are unproven, but we have a good keeper, 2 good RB's, 2 good LB's (3 really cos Huggins can cover both sides), 5 good CB's, 4 good midfielders + an International who was highly rated in the French top flight + an exciting young Serbian, who you missed off your list, 2 good, highly rated LW's, 2 good CF's + 2 exciting up and coming CF's.

    So, the cover with a fully fit squad is mostly very good. If there's a worry for me, it's RW. Roberts is inconsistent, Mayenda largely untried, but has shown potential and Poveda who can't seem to get fit. The squad is unrecognisable even from this time last year. OaU

    Wouldn’t mind us moving for him or even philogene if they’re open to loaning him back out too

    He’s the lad that went to Barcelona isn’t he? First few young British lads moving abroad these days so might not be a bad idea for him to do similar

    Super talented but he’s a player off the left who cuts in on his right. We’ve got Mundle and Watson who need those minutes plus a whole host of players who could come in and do a job beyond that.
