If we are reliant on Danns and dont get him, which probably is only an outside shot. I wonder what Eustace says post window, if he will go full JDT.

And that seems to be best case scenario at the moment as Danns has his pick of clubs should he not choose to stay at Liverpool.

For the sake of cover, seems to be of a reasonable standard. Another loan so if its a straight loan its a bit meh. Hopefully an option to buy.

Up to the dizzy heights of 14th. Wonder if he plays the new defender when injured like the other 2. Then moans about an injury crisis that he is partially responsible for.

Blind faith?

Do you expect that many?

Because this was on Thursday and we have since signed Kargbo but dont appear to be close to anyone else. Or maybe it was someone else that has since fallen through.

So plenty of vagueness to then be able to say you expect top 6 whatever happens.

Eustace said we are close to 2. I presume one be meant was Cissoko who went to Sheffield Wednesday.

Out of interest. So if we only sign a striker on loan, say Danns, or if we fail to get a striker on a permanent basis entirely. You then do not think we are likely to finish in the top 6? Is this correct?

The Egyptian is starting for Nantes and would cost money. Can rule that out. Seems like we are one of any in for Danns and even if we got him it is very underwhelming.

At best we will get a loan or two last minute if anyone is going spare. If there was something of substance in the works then we would know.

What counts as ambitious? Guessing Danns doesnt.

Seems like Sunderland are in strong for Danns. So with him potentially going there and the Egyptian seemingly beyond us financially, is there a chance we again end up empty handed?

If he has recurring back injuries, then he will struggle to realise any potential he has either way. Hes not Championship level at the moment and if fit im not convinced lending him to a Champipnship side (he isnt going to start over Colby Bishop) would be the wisest move.

With 36 hours left, presumably weve had bids accepted and are getting players in to finalise? Nah, most likely sat waiting and hoping that Liverpool allow us to borrow a kid they have.

What a dreadful window it would be if our new striker and final signing was just a kid on loan.

What did Taarabt do that was similar? I dont think its something that can just be dismissed out of hand as one of those things. It brings up a number of potential issues as he not only holds these beliefs but he willingly makes himself unavailable for matches to push that across.

Is Hull just an example or are they supposedly after him too?

No chance are we spending £3.6m on anyone. And we are getting to the stage where if he is our main target and it doesnt happen, we just wont get anyone in time. An issue no one else has touched on. But I think it is pride month and the club has a rainbow flag on social media behind the badge. I think its something the Championship promotes throughout the month. Mohamed clearly has some very strong and archaic views and has refused to play in matches in the past more than once. Would he just not play throughout February if he did sign?

The official page has changed its picture to include a rainbow flag. That Egyptian striker playing in France certainly wouldnt be supportive of that based on his previous actions.

It wasnt his fault, I agree. The one most at fault was Forshaw for losing the ball stupidly with a square pass. Why do you want a striker based on that logic when our current strikers got us to 5th? Interesting that you agree with what Eustace said. Did you think Portsmouth should have had a penalty against us the other week?

Middlesbrough are signing Iling Junior on loan from Villa. Paid big money and loaned him to Bologna. They have some serious quality even with Latth leaving who no doubt will be replaced with someone for a big fee.

Hatred? Stop being melodramatic. People are frustrated that we have replaced a player who was a decent 3rd choice in Baker with someone who Plymouth happily released because he wasnt good enough to make their team. Hes been poor so far for us. We are in a position where we need a push, and midfield is an area where our main 2 have both had injuries. Does an ambitious club replace a departing 3rd choice with a veteran to be "4th/5th choice?" You know it doesnt but you defend it and start talking about hatred. You have repeatedly shown a lack of standard. You keep saying things like "oh should we not sign anyone then" as a defence for not signing what we needed or wanted. You didnt seem too impressed with Kargbo last week and kept calling for a Championship experienced player. Now hes signed, no question marks whatsoever. You can say if its not what you wanted yet still "back" him and hope he does well. For every signing plucked from obscurity, there are 2 or 3 that didnt achieve anything. Obviously we might have plucked a hidden gem in Kargbo, lets hope so. Although we arent well protected with his short contract if he does. But the frustration is at the owners for again not seemingly backing us when we need it.

I would be very underwhelmed if borrowing a striker with minimal experience was the route we go down.
