We certainly seem to be building the squad for an assault on league one next season, don’t we.

Paul Weller - Wild Wood

Always felt Cadamateri would be the striker we'd end up signing (mentioned this a while back on this thread). I can see that one happening. Low fee, low wages, poor scoring record, and little interest in him elsewhere (aside from the Scottish lge).

You'd be wasting your money. He was very poor last time he came to us on loan, and that was 15 years ago.

Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild

Genuinely fed up of this whole thing now, anyone else going between games without a care about football anymore? Why us? Why can't we just have a normal influx like for like if not marginally better players at the least. Deflating.

Blackburn knows how to do a boycott. Tickets sold for the screening of the Melania film in Blackburn are ZERO

That rumour was doing the rounds last week.

I can’t say I’m surprised.

Putting all there eggs in the basket for that Sheffield Wednesday game. Win that and they will be banging on about it for ages.

A draw isn't good enough at this stage either. 1 win in 14 is absolutely abysmal. We can't keep limping on with the odd draw. Fails to win and the club need to get him binned. Could already be too late by this point though.

Mike McGrath (no idea on his reliability) is reporting that Derby are trying to get a deal done to bring Sammie Szmodics to Pride Park. You can see why Eustace left the circus, Derby are willing to back their manager.

I reckon a similar performance to watford. Score draw I reckon, unless hull take their chances. Just cant see when a win will come. I dont even see us beating sheff wednesday on the tuesday. Who knows... could be 6 points better off in a week, doubt it though. If I could pick from whats available Id go: Miller McLoughLin Cashin Alebiouso Tronstad Forshaw Morishita Cantwell Baraji Jorgensen

Your best mate had us believing we were prepared for the window 😂 never learn

Many thanks mate 🙏 Much appreciated 👍

Summer transfers and January transfers are different if we signed Cadamarteri in the summer following Leonard’s move to Peterborough then fine. Gives him time to settle Signing him in January once again is a massive gamble given our need. Having championship games under your belt is one thing being able to deliver in the position is another. Granted he’s in an awful team but we aren’t much better personally think it’s a poor signing (if it where to happen) was mentioned in dec so clearly wasn’t near the top of the target list

I am sure that people will pass judgement if (big if) and when he does sign. But its fair to be underwhelmed at a potential striker who has not shown that he is what we need to boost our inability to score goals.

What's different about a cat 3 academy? Do you mean because they can be poached even easier because they have less protections, so it would just have been done on the cheap?

Let's see how he performs first before passing judgment. Not my first choice either but proven strikers are a rare commodity these days. Some here have mentioned that we should've been all over Makama in the summer, after he went to Norwich for £1.3m. Easy to say in hindsight, he wasn't highly prolific in League One and Cadamarteri at least has 50 Championship games under his belt at 20 and has shown a bit of promise.

fixed it for you 😉

Normally I’d agree but he can’t hide what’s in plain sight. We came 7th last year so he was able to use the weight of that in the summer. If he was to be interviewed now I’m not sure even he could worm his way out of it. But that would take courage from the interviewer and unfortunately we don’t have many of those

I genuinely don’t think he’d ever be that self reflective. He exudes unfaltering arrogance and I’m sure in his mind he’ll be giving himself a hearty pat on the back for a job well done

There is no positive to any of this but I’m clinging to the fact that the whole world will now see how much a fraud Rudy gestede is. I’d even go as far and say the normal post window interview won’t happen. He will shy away from it as he fully knows he has messed up

Roque Santa Cruz is still playing people. 6 month loan, do it. I'll pay for his flights over 👍👍

Agree. What I think is most likely is it's boils down to a matter of face and not wanting to admit they have made stupid decisions both in acquiring us and they have been fooled by charlatans along the way. We are probably one of the many subsidiaries in their group and the losses are not affecting their overall group profitability too much thus they treat it as a "out of sight, out of mind" thingy and is apathetic towards the investment rather than some grand sinister plan.
