Don’t disagree with anything you said but as it stands my response to you saying that’s guesswork is correct

And there’s the guesswork - how do you know that hasn’t been offered? How do you know batth just point blank wants 2 guaranteed years of financial security before he retires? Not just possibility with options etc guessing…now I fully agree this ownership and club are a shambles but I’m certainly not overly mad at the fact they are holding tight on offering a soon to be 35 year old a two year contract now if it comes out that he accepts a derby deal one year rolling with options then yes il retract but it’s all guesswork at the moment all we know from any source is he wants two more years

Tbh you’re just guessing here using your anger to form an opinion. Batth is very likely to want 2 years to gurantee/see out his career and for all the badness/madness this club has put us through I do agree with their stance on this given his age and previous injury record

His agent is just being an idiot like most agents are

If we signed the sheff wed right back and Thompson on free from Stoke two bit part players with injuries records past their peak there would be uproar on here gk and charlton rb good signings

Wrexhams current squad isn’t good enough for promotion to the premier league. A lot will depend on who they actually sign

Hard to know JDT played very open leaving the defence exposed quite often in matches. Think batth suited/suits a more structured set up

Can’t blame batth for wanting two year security financially and given his performances last year his stock will have increased. Having said that he’s 35 in sept ideally he’d accept 1 year with us with an option but he holds all the cards

Sagnan being touted at 5million…..advanced talks my backside misleading headline. Should read more like enquiry never a chance we compete at those levels. Of all off seasons this is going to be the worst by some distance

If Iv missed something I apologise but I’m counting 12 goal contributions (league) in his first season?

I’m taking it in isolation in response to your posts about Gallagher. As I mentioned I don’t think either are great.but the highest ‘league goal contributions’ in gallaghers tenure was 12 I believe and Gueye has 12 this season in his first season. As a forward that’s all that really matters….is it good enough probably not going forward as for his fit etc that’s for the manager to now decide I’m merely stating that he has done no worse than what Gallagher has ever done at a snipped of the price that’s all

Gueye has had one season in English football and has already matched gallaghers best season for goal contributions. Both aren’t anything special let’s be real but he’s different and offers more than gally does and ‘should’ improve

To be honest that could be said for all transfers

Nixon called waggott a supremo - his name and articles should be banned from these forums absolute stain that man is

You can’t really be comparing players not playing for higher calibre teams than ourselves to the likes of Birmingham and Plymouth surely? That’s a ludicrous take Armstrong is fit and available would be my deciding factor over the two so again stats to me are irrelevant fitness isn’t and the last part about the rest is on JE if these are his players I’d agree but I suspect they are not so would be a tad unfair to blame him if he didn’t get the players he asked for in

I still think ‘ can call it negative / glass half empty’ whatever we have been in fantastic position 3 jans running we as fans have the right to ask the question of previous failings and lack of investment/ambition who wouldnt question it after what’s gone before? we have a solid championship team but as shown 1/2 injuries in key positions and our form took a nosedive. So all we ask is for some help and I’m sorry but forshaw isn’t that (don’t care if he was available/cheap) Garrett could have done the same if not better we got 3 experienced bodies in yesterday which saved an abysmal window let’s be honest it’s no slight on the team or JE but fans have the right to ask the question of what do venkys what out of us

Elliot confirmed interest in schlupp, bamford and danns said bbd was never on the cards theres still a massive issue though Paul. Fans can feel rightly aggrieved or lied to as waggott openly told us that ffp isn’t an issue he said there is money to spend and venkys will support that. All these loans and short term deals would suggest that’s not the case now Ribiero and Dennis for me could be really really good signings. But as fans we have the right to ask why the last day? Dennis clearly wasn’t their top target so who was and what was the reason for moving on? my big issue is the timing and I’m sorry not for one second am I having it’s hard as a valid excuse. Plenty other teams got business done well before yesterday so to me that’s not good enough reason what’s the plan? I’d love to know like is this the ‘all in make or break’ short term signings for top 6? As come the summer we could be losing around 11 players and likely the manager too

That’s the gamble yes I agree been out of the squad for forest so assuming he wasn’t close to being top target or it could have easily been done earlier Iv stressed numerous times on this forum this month we missed a trick with the block of fixtures we had I genuinely believe we left 3/4 points out there - al hamadi was my first choice think we should have been all over that but I do think Dennis is a signing I can get behind but as you said how long for and is it too late time will tell

I certainly wouldn’t have danns and bamford in the ‘lofty’ talk category schlupp would have been good but too dear bbd didn’t want to come back I agree in the main regarding our transfer window and nobody should be defended but when breaking players down in isolation compared to this time yesterday it ended better than we thought

3/4 weeks doak 2 months sunderland fans not happy said this is the 3rd player signed on loan whilst injured we wouldn’t have known about the injury it was picked up on the medical so a stroke of luck for us for a change

I’d have picked Armstrong too given he would be more match fit just a shame he only became available when we likely had the other deals done

It’s a pointless comparison truth be told two totally different players

Woodrow dennis and Ribiero wouldn’t have been registered on time for tonight likely all in squad for Sundays cup game Kargbo will get minutes tonight

That’s like saying any teams top performer means the manager influence is irrelevant - silly pep didn’t win the league - haaland did

If he got 8-10 for the remainder of games we have I’d be delighted this comparison thing is irrelevant really so many different variables can affect a stat sheet etc two different players two different playing styles two different teams / set ups see come may
