January transfer window

Mohamadu Kante on loan from West Ham

Currently on loan in France. Promising 20 year old kid.

I also hear that the skipper is no longer a shoo in every week, which surprises me as he’s got better after a poor start.

He’s never going to score or create much, maybe NJ is looking for younger legs in the middle.

 

We were interested in him in the Summer.

 

I had never heard of him before yesterday, but I believe we still retain an interest.

 

Apparently Joel Ward has been training with us and will sign a short term

 

Good to give the youngsters a chance

 

He is a good solid defender to help out with this injury crisis. Shame he is ex Palace.

 

Agreed, he’s a good player. Tells me we are in trouble with our defensive injuries.

 

Boy do we need a quality striker and a creative central midfielder in January.

Our current forwards couldn’t finish a good dinner, and as for Docherty / Coventry in the middle …they create nothing.

When was the last time we scored a fluent goal from open play ?

 

A new defence as well judging by the last two games. Jones stubbornness is also affecting us adversely. I really don’t think we are going to win another game this year. A relegation battle is what we have to look forward to in 2026. What does our XG say?

 

According to the xG supremo overnight, recruiting a new CEO is the No.1 priority

 

I had a good laugh at that. We need better players on the pitch, we also need Jones to utilise them properly. How is a new CEO going to change that.

 

He’s unreal.

On reflection, our transfer activity last Summer was very patchy. I’m as guilty as anyone of going OTT at the initial good form, but a few of them are struggling now.
