Reading between the lines I think Chris is saying that there will be no big money signings this January http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/292231/Chris-Powell-glad-patience-a-to-find-virtue We let Semedo and Racon go last summer because we couldn't afford their wages and the summer signings were all funded out of the Jenkinson money. So let's get real, there will be NO £1m signings over January. AllHell
If we bring anyone in it'll hopefully be loans from Prem or Champ clubs Who thought we would spend a million ? Too much Christmas cheer methinks 2-3 players I hope - not including resecuring Ephraim and Russel til the end of the season
What was the opinion of Hugo from the Yeovil game? I'd personally be delighted to keep him on from what I've seen. Russell is a no thrills player- he is someone I think we could improve on. Still not a set date for Stephens, but the last few sightings of him have been with a protective cast on his foot, so you assume it's bad. I would like a 4th striker to replace the seemingly outgoing Benson. I'm hearing today that ansah is having his annual link to us- but I'd like a more established player. But finding that player is going to be very tough, and potentially very expensive.. Which makes you think it will be a loan or nothing.
I still fancy Matt Fry as a versatile cover who can play all along the back four - I don't believe he is featuring much for West Ham? Agreed Super a striker of that calibre is going to be nearly impossible to find. Don't see why we can't just keep Benno - I doubt we'll get much of a fee if he departs now; I'd sooner keep him as back up on the off chance and let him go for free in July.
The thing with Benno is that he wants to play and we can't offer him that so Chris is willing to let him go somewhere he can get games, that WON'T be Bradford now, respect to Parkinson but his Chairman is obviously unreliable.
