Simon should have gone on loan to somewhere like York or Halifax that would have been a better move for him I think.

He was having a medical at Sunlan - that was the last I heard
Yeah, like not until say Cardiff away, then there would only be a few weeks to go.
Woosh.
Yep.
Can only hope that this madness ends now under Dublin and Selles. It's not sustainable and it's no way to build for success. (obvs)
Think we will need to move more out in preparation for 3rd division football
I'm sure most on here are old enough to remember the days of one substitute, no matter who got nobbled he had to go play, maybe a bit of a shuffle around but that was it. Now it's like trying to build an 11 piece jigsaw with 18 pieces, he's a 6 but not an 8 he's a 9 but can be squeezed into 10 and so on.
It's a game of football why is it getting so complicated?

On the whole, very good business.
It has, but tbf changes were needed. We may still go down, but we've got a much better chance of staying up given who they've brought in.
Also, it's clearly been about bringing in the sort of 'characters' we've been missing too (some nous, leadership, presence, etc) as Selles mentions in this HDM article today. Hard to argue against?
And it sounds like he did want a LB after all (hardly a surprise - I guess the other day he was just meaning that if he had to go with what we've got then he's happy enough but not ideal).

I thought it was just Walter’s fault and the squad was good enough??
There’s only 16 games left I doubt that many new players can be integrated into a cohesive team
Crooks is the most important signing imho and he’s already had to go to the bench he plays all 16 games we will be fine
If selles has to chop and change and find out about players we’re in real trouble
Bill Shankly said back in the 1960s that football is a simple game so why do so many involved in it try to complicate it?
I said on the summer 2024 transfer thread around the time we were first linked with him that Burstow would end up on loan to someone like Grimsby a year later. Perhaps Grimsby is a bit too harsh but I think he will be loaned out indefinitely until his contract runs out. The new Tyler Smith.
Yeah, for all the talk about the club 'finally getting it right' under a new hierarchy and the head coach wanting a smaller squad, this January transfer window is almost a carbon copy of the previous January transfer window in terms of scale. The only difference is the quality.
But the problem isn't a single window of a lot of signings, it's that we keep having to rely on windows like this because so many of the previous window's intake end up discarded. We were always going to sign a lot this window, the question is whether these players are still providing value in 6 months or a year or if we're having to do another big shop again and again having given up on half of them.
Burstow should be coming on for the last 20 every game
Put some faith in the kid ffs
