You'd imagine Vinagre will be binned and we'll bring in a LB on loan. So that leaves 1 spot left as Morton, Delap or Twine aren't getting dropped from the matchday squad any time soon.

Unless the money spent on permanents is about securing one of the loans or two?

Then we replace the loans?

I'd expect anything like that would come together at the end of the window though.

One thing I'm confident of is that we'll be prioritising a fullback early in the window, probably a centre mid too.

I wouldn't be shocked to see us try to sign a LB permanently as it's a longstanding issue. Who's available would dictate that though. I'm sure this has all been thought through though - could also be a sign we're going to go all out for getting Delap permanently. Keep in mind Twine may be either off to Bristol City or also signing permanently.

I'm sure we'd love to get one permanently but who is certainly the question.

I hope we don't lose Twine as that's another that would need replacing and it's already a short and tough window.

Unless of course, we sign Delap permanently. That would free up a loan spot in the matchday squad.

Should listen to today's 1904 club.

It's a good listen throughout but 48 mins in, Baz is pretty much incinuating movement in that area relatively quickly.

Scroll 48 mins in if you have a spare few mins, or do the whole thing if you have an hour.

Have listened, looks like Vinagre cost us a lot - wasn't there someone on here claiming we were practically getting him for free?

Seems like he's back off to Portugal thankfully. What a waste that was.

It's worrying that he was meant to be Liam's no. 1 target last summer. Even the optional buy out clause was laughable.

It's been a position needing strengthening for a long time. Come to think of it, when's the last time we spent any decent money on our back 4 and keeper? From memory coyle, christie, elder, Ingram, long, Jones, mcloughlin, lo tutala, allsop etc have all either been free or very cheap. Not much investment over the years especially as this will be Acuns 4th transfer window.

Bartłomiej Drągowski is the latest keeper we're being linked with. I thought his name was familiar so I googled him.. If anyone played Football Manager about 8 years ago he might be a name you remember. He was once rated very highly.

IMO the squad's woefully lightweight to be competing for a top 6 position. I think we still need; GK, RB, CB, 2x LB, CM, RW, LW, ST

What I think we'll see this window is; GK, LB, LW and hopefully a CM. Might we see Twine signing on a perm to free up a loan spot?

We need to get rid of some of the deadwood too. Vinagre, Doc and Sinik need to find new homes and some of the youngsters need to get out on loan if they're not going to get any minutes here; Lo-Tutula/Robson, Covil, Smith, Jacob, Furlong.

He was 1st choice keeper at Serie B team Spezia Calcio, looks like he missed a couple of games through injury in early December and has been warming the bench for the last three matches. Played 47 games for Spezia since joining them in August 2022 from Fiorentina.

He won't come cheap - so we would then look to sell or loan out a keeper to make space for him. I am sure there would be takers for Matty Ingram in this window.

Waste of money if we do this.

Hasn't Connolly already been offered a new contract? Assume the club will trigger the extension on Jacob's and, possibly, Covil's contract. Means another busy window though.

Would love to see Delap and Morton back next year, but I don't see it, in any circumstance.
