We're not signing Bellamy...

Duffer is/was my favourite player along with Ripley. Don't want to see him anywhere near this club again under the current circumstances.

If it's not only for the season, then taking on the job of getting us back out of League One isn't such a bad proposition for the likes of Cifuentes etc. I hope whoever comes in decides his own captain and insists that we sign Tronstad to a new contract 🙂

They won't get someone in who's already in a job but there are still plenty to choose from. I would get Cifuentes in things were looking a little better, but we need a 'quickfix' for the season so I'm not too sure. I hope we stay clear of Rowett and especially Russell Martin.

We signed slow and defensive-minded left back because we only had two from before?

Wonder which strategy Damo will choose. When Eustace came in we were leaking goals but that's not been the issue now, so how much will he risk against Sheff W? More of the same as versus Hull should be enough to beat them? Would wait with both of those you mention if I was in charge, but would probably hand Joseph his debut before the end of the season.

Now what? It's deadline day...New excuse not to sign any new players until a new manager is in place.

The games versus Sheff W, Oxford and WBA are absolutely must win now. I only fancy us beating Sheff W at the moment and we’re going into that one with players still out or regaining full fitness. Afolayan will come on for his debut after 60 mins in Tuesday, no matter what the score is. Hope he can hit the ground running.

Scraping the barrel here with this signing. If it means we're signing a goal-scoring striker for £5m+ then so be it, but we're in deep trouble and have to strengthen the first eleven.

And will take us 31 minutes to get him injured as he's not up to pace.

If the names from previous windows were good enough, no one would mind us recycling the lists...

He was signed for around £500k to a small club in St. Pauli, who was in 2. Bundesliga at the time. Probably received a small pay bump if he had a promotion clause in his contract, but shouldn't be an issue. Goes to show (again) which bracket we're shopping players in. We can pay decent fees but seldom does a decent fee and low wage go hand in hand together. To be fair there's a difference in signing an injured player on loan in August for the season and an injured player on a permanent in January when we're in the relegation zone.

Ismael: ""Situations happen, we were interested in a player then they got injured. All of a sudden, it made no sense for us to take an injured player so we move on." Pretty obvious that he's referring to Cleary, just forgot to mention that we didn't match Barnsleys valuation.

He was on my 'shortlist' initially but he has a bit of experience so decided it had to be someone else. And not that bizarre? But a bit of a mehhhhh signing for me.

Yeah, that was my initial reaction. Either that or someone even more bizarre from another poor league.

I'd be 'happy' with Dike on loan at this point. Can't hope for much better...

Not happening.

If the target is bizarre and not exactly experienced..... Someone playing in Saudi or Qatar or the likes?

Putting my money on Manneh. 💰

Ismael seems outspoken but changes his wording as things transpire. Best chance to get on board with the fans is to be truthful and speak out against the 'regime'. A few days left, so I will pass my final juddgement when the transfer window is shut but it's not looking too bright is it.

I fully agree. They seem almost overly confident that we will surivive once we get some more bodies back. There have been some better teams than this one that have suffered relegation before. Who's to say we won't suffer another injury crisis? It happens every season...

Cadamareri should be in the same price bracket as Leonard so just under £1m. Owls are skint so probably want cash now, and Cadarteri is likely not on big wages like Bannan was, so no big rush to sell perhaps.

He just extended his contract. https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news/yousef-salech-pens-contract-extension

Aren't Sheff W under administration? Rudy probably trying to trigger someone looking at a spreadsheet to let him go for below market value.
