He’s 24, in his prime years. He’s not going to get much better so what you see now is probably as good as it gets. Like Vale he looks like a non-league striker to me

It’s irrelevant what age a player is before they reach their best ability. 

He’s been in the country 5 months and hardly had any game time . I’m happy to give him more time. Ideally a loan out would be perfect for him in League 1z

I can comment too much on Telalovic yesterday as I didn’t go, but looking at his movement and first time ball to Carter, to setup the first goal, looks promising…Creates an option for Garrett who looked like he was struggling for options.

Still very raw but there’s a players to work with there - I prefer him to Ennis. 

I like the ideal of Gelhardt as a player and think he fits JDTs style…but he’s not the goal scorer we’re after.

If Leonard is going I wouldn’t be surprised if Gelhardt is his replacement…Probably what Travis wages will be going towards as he won’t be cheap.

Sounds like the new Jason Roberts.

Sounds like Sam Gallagher to me.

Ah, we already have one of those, and he'll be back soon.

Yeah and he’ll be stuck on the right wing again…..

All I can find is an article from a week ago saying they turned down a loan offer from us. Not surprising considering he is a key player for them and signed a new deal last month. The article says they 'will not entertain any loan offers whatsoever for their star striker'. So I'd assume no, it doesn't mean a deal for him is done. I know they're in the offseason, but surely they'd rather rest him. Maybe some other deal for a striker has come to fruition.

Shame, that might have been a decent gambit...13 goals and 3 assists in 15.4 full matches worth of game time, MLS Rookie of the Year, looking to break into the US national team.

There were recent reports that we’d tried again so it very well could be him.

His record is good but watching his reel he looks abit of a lump with a donkey touch….Lets see.

Heard Leonard off to Oxford on loan tomorrow 

If true, it’s a great loan that! Surely means another through the door.

Telalovic to score and I’ll be happy.

This type of football is not sustainable! Sort it out JDT!

Szmodics was dreadful in the first half of last season, if he'd have performed a bit better we'd have made the play offs.

Conversely I thought Hyam was really poor in the second half of last season and seemingly hasn't been good this season.

I haven't seen much of Tronstad this season as Waggott has temporarily finished me off attending in person but from what I've seen on TV he's a bit of a nothing player, the stats also say no goals no assists and we're in 17th so it doesn't strike me he's pulling up any trees.

Tronstad is streets ahead of anyone in this team currently, along with Szmodics.

We have no money, we can only afford loans and youngsters are cheap.

This is unfortunately the only pond we can fish in.

Very hard to get excited by these players, especially when they’re loans. I  presume the third is O’Riordan and then we’re done.

I think the latter will become a shrewd signing but it’s still all depressing.

Now we're talking...Promotion inbound!

Travis and JDT don't see eye to eye...Irrespective of what JDT has just said. He's never fitted his style, and hasn't liked sitting on the bench...It happens in football.

When will O'riordan be announced?

Must be a different Ayari, this lads been at AIK as a kid and then Brighton.

You're right i read a comment that he "knows JDT from him time at Malmo"...Presumably as he was playing in the same league.

Didn't know Ayari played under JDT for Malmo....This could work.

Let’s hope it isn’t and they finally f*ck off.

Well yes there is that which would be superb

My opinion isn't as reactionary as most.

I wasn't keen on Travis and never have been really - He's not a starter and obviously doesn't see eye to on with the manager. It was spoke on here, in summer last year, that they'd had a falling out so why keep someone who is dragging the moral down.

The fact of loaning him our means he's still our player so if JDT does leave he will be back with us next season. If the manager is still here his value will most likely increase playing for a team chasing promotion.

We are in a financial mess so if this temporary change means we can bring some more players in then im happy with it.

Lets hope come summer this mess in India is all sorted and we can get some some kind of normality on the transfer side.
