Backroom Tom Posted February 1, 2023 Backroom Share Posted February 1, 2023 Glad I gave up and went to bed, odd lack of communication at all last night from the club not even the usual post match stuff Still imagine a couple of incomings got done but would just prefer a one liner telling us! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is even stranger is that they announced Markanday going out on loan. We just have to hope that the signings are that good that they wanted to make a big announcement rather than it being hidden amongst the chaos of transfer deadline night (not holding breath though).

Just something like: 'We won't have any further news this evening, but initial paperwork was submitted before the deadline for (X amount) players. We will give an update in the morning and hope to have good news!' And pigs will fly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t react to every rumour on the internet with a statement providing a transfer update before anything is final, just because some fans would like to hear about it. Presumably, there is a reason for why we haven’t announced anything - possibly because there isn’t anything to announce. I doubt the club are doing this for the sake of it.

callumrovers Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 So you’re telling me there’s still a chance of a striker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcote blues Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 We’ve signed the best midfielder in the league from last season, agreed packages on our end with clubs for 2 strikers, and he doesn’t run the clubs social media. Can we give GB 5 minutes off the hurling abuse! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about a blanket statement, not a reaction to every rumour. The club knows fans stay up late hanging on for news, it's no effort at all to put out a simple statement. If there's nothing to announce, announce there's nothing happening. I'm not saying it's a massive deal, just a common courtesy to those who care. At the stage we are talking about, the club knew if something was in the offing or not. And it couldn't conceivably hamper any deal to mention it.

cesus Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 The fact that Sharpe from the LT is silent gives me hope, he would have usually had his transfer window write up done by now if all was done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only hope we have is that Brereton pulls his finger out, recovers his scoring form and doesn't get injured. That is a possibility I suppose...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hats off if we've got him. How so? We signed a number of players in the summer to fill crucial positions. We've signed 2 short term loans for areas that weren't our biggest concern. Midfield could be improved yes. These won't be our players in the summer. We haven't addressed fullback or striker. I think it's been a very poor window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Wizard Windy Miller Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 It would be a shocking window if we've actually managed to weaken the forward line. There's been plenty of strikers on the move. The only glimmer, is surely the club wouldn't be stupid enough to loan Markanday out without another body coming in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
