To be honest, that doesn't really bother me in January. I think the January window is all about getting players who can make you better now, ready for the run in whether they are 4 years, 6 month, or just loan deals. Time for signing players on long deals who you can hopefully develop and grow is the Summer window. Not that I think we will do that of course.

Can only be Kargbo in line for a debut. Riberio, Dennis & Woodrow would have had to signed by 12pm yesterday to be involved tonight.

Unless we somehow go up this season, then i expect Dolan, Brittain, Hyam, Travis & Tronstad to all leave for nothing in the next 18 months.

I just think playing those two out wide from the start will make us very open, something I personally can't se Eustace doing. Unless of course we can start them, get a couple of goals up by the hour mark and bring on the more hardworking players then.

Hyam has an option so that will kick the can down the road for another year, also Hedges.

Out of the 26 players that can be registered, 11 of them are out of contract or going back to there parent clubs. Beck, ACD, Sanderson, Woodrow, Dennis, Forshaw, Riberio, Siggurdson, Dolan, Weimann & Batth. Also Hedges & Hyam but they have 1 year options. It's summer 2026 that will be the killer with Brittain, Hyam, Travis, Tronstad & Hedges all out of contract. Hasn't played for 9 months, not expecting much from him which is poor seeing as he's been bought in as the marquee signing. I still think Dolan and Hedges will start the majority of games, while there attacking output isn't great, they both keep the shape of the side really well and make us a lot more organised. When they come off when we are winning we usually end up hanging on for dear life. Think Kargbo & Dennis will be mainly used off the bench to stretch games with there pace. No idea where Woodrow fits in.

Are you not concerned that he hasn't played a game in over 9 months?

Someone could be leaving, or they might just not bother registering Sigurdsson because what's the point? Or could Pickering's injury be worse than expected and maybe he won't be registered? Yes, Riberio has taken that space so one more left.

Also @Madonsaid it. He hears he's partnering Assombalonga for the rest of the season.

Yeah Plymouth cancelled his contract.

Be a strange one, out of contract in summer. We have 3 loans. ACD, Sanderson and Beck.

Thankfully your itk source isn't exactly reliable 😁

Riberio. Hedges and Hyam have options we'll no doubt take up.

7 goals in his last 94 games

Nobody was suggesting we should be all over him as a player. Just pointing out how quickly other clubs move to secure targets. We have needed a left back and a striker since December 21st., yet here we are on February 3rd with nothing over the line.

Even North End showing us up. Player gets injured Friday, replacement signed on the Monday.

Pretty sure we're not signing Adam Armstrong.

More like the owners wouldn't let us press send.

If there is another championship club who wants him, forget about it.

Been saying the same thing since January 1st. Be amazed if they get two in today. I don't think we were ever in for a CM this late, we have 4 fit midfielders already with another to come back, sure we can debate the quality of some of those but I don't think they ever wanted another midfielder.

If there is any club that shouldn't be taking that risk, it's this one.

Barrett would need to be registered yes. Michelski will step up I imagine.

It doesn't make it ok because other clubs haven't got there targets. This is 3 Januarys out of the last 4 where we have been sitting in the top 6 come the end of the January window and failed massively. Change of personal nothing to do with it.

Nobody should care about them, only interested in what we are doing. We knew the priority's well before the window opened. Looks like we will fail, again.
