Christ, not for the sake of results but we desperately need a decent signing for the sake of everyone's fucking sanity.

I think the wages on that one will be way out of our league. Toffolo might be a bit more affordable but probably not.

If we're talking to Forest I'd also ask about Toffolo and move Beck further up the pitch.

Soooooo fucking slow, it's painful.

Still waaay too fucking deep FFS... We're getting beat and sat back on edge of our own box... So frustrating

Not a great performance at all this, 2nd best everywhere. No attacking threat at all, just way too deep and not brave enough. Have to gamble now and get high up the pitch.

To be fair... Buckley really grew into that game, a very Jekyll and Hyde performance from him so far. He looked really good in that last 15/20 minutes

All of sudden Bucko has decided to be 2021 Buckley... Much better.

Buckley and Cantwell are f*cking annoying.

I WISH CANTWELL WOULD FUCK OFF UP THE PITCH! Why is he so intent to drift anywhere but near the oppositions 18 yards box??

Still feel like the best player we could realistically get is Poku. Injury or not, if we can get another attacking player on loan and spend on him... Could give us a real boost in March and kick us on.

Fair point... Maybe I'm just not in the know of what type of player he is exactly. If he's got pace then he could be useful I suppose it's just as everyone else has said... We need goals aswell which looking at his recent record, doesn't look good.

How many shit non scoring forwards do Stoke want? Gally, Asante, Ennis... Fuck me, it's like they're doing it on purpose 😂

What's the point in Thomas Asante?? No resale value, Gueye is a better target man and possibly a better goal scorer. Just simply not what we need. I'd argue in Gueye we have physicality, in Ohashi we have graft what we don't have is PACE, someone who can run in behind and break lines. For me, the players we've been linked with that are the types we we need are Kargbo, Matondo & Godo. Direct wide players that can run in behind. That would help big Mac and give him some support, the reality is he's a link up player that will get more assists than goals, so let's make the most of that and get goals from out wide... We need to be looking for our poor man's versions of Mbuemo & Wissa... Not another big CF.

Why would he be cheap????

Nah but we all know he nowhere near as good a footballer.

Archie Grey going for double Adam's fee is a disgrace looking back.

Should sign Tamworth's left winger!

Wouldn't hold your breath, it's like he's allergic to the 18 yard box.

This. It's all about who else we sign, we are good defensively and in midfield, we just lack a bit of depth. Attacking, we don't have enough goal threat. Batth was a similar signing to Forshaw, recently left Norwich, same age, fans said legs had gone. Not saying this as some sort of Maggot apologist, just trying to look at it for what it is. If this is all we have at the end of the window then it will be one of the worst. Personally I'd like to see them go for one permanent attacking player and a young prem loan.

All I'll say on the Sanderson signing is... How many of us wrote off our club captain, who went out of favour and is probably our biggest miss at the moment... I certainly did. To sign an experienced championship player that our manager previously made captain I think is a fair signing tbh. That said, the attacking signings need to be more inspiring than Sanderson & Forshaw.

Don't think Sanderson on loan is that bad a signing to be honest. Was signed for 2 million from Wolves not long ago. Only just turned 25, should be coming into best years of his career and has plenty of champ experience... I think these should always have agreements to buy in case they turn out well. Not an inspiring one but an understandable one.

This just screams of another John Fleck type signing... Someone way past their prime, possible injury risk and stuck with their wages. Simply not what we need.

So he's signing tomorrow then. Got ya

Loan view to buy would be only deal that makes sense on Kitching IMO...
