    Nevertheless, we need to make this Leeds pairing continue to work.

    I've always said we'd benefit if they were in the top flight, and so it's proving.

    he looks the better prospect anywhere on the field, including keeper, let alone going forward :)

    Don't be ridiculous. Samuels has done nothing to show he's worth signing on a permanent deal so why on earth would we do that..... Oh, yeah, you're probably right.

    We might benefit from loans but the drift of younger fans will be eastwards

    If parents force their kids to watch City, l think it will be considerd as child cruelty.

    You need to identify players to have rumours. Give it until January 25th and you might hear something, anything....

    Bingo time...

    It's hard to sign players because we dont know what league we are going to end up in. So we could only sign a couple of kids on loan, cheap.

    My fave is still the “no non contract players because of fitness” comments.Continually saying it for months just cancels the whole argument.

    37 years old. Sounds about right.

    Not sure about that.

    I understand he's only contracted until January, but it sounds like he'll be transitioning to the coaching team to me (he's been working with the Belles) - and he's only just put in his first league start of the season on Saturday.

    It would be a good signing and just what we need, in my opinion, as we lack leaders and strong defenders, though it doesn't feel like it would happen. But who knows.

    My take on what we need in Jan:

    2 Centre backs
    A defensive midfielder
    Striker
    At least 1, probably 2 wingers.

    5-6 additions. That's a hell of a lot.

    I think that’s spot on. I’d maybe even look to cut Samuels loan short and bring in two strikers.
    I think we will see just the one CB as I can’t see us managing to get any of the others out the door. We 1million% need a hard tackling midfielder although I think the chances are slim.
    I think this will be a very difficult window. We aren’t in a position to attract players really and for the type of quality needed, those type of players will already be at clubs. Whoever comes in has a very tough job.

    Parky was able to attract the right types who could be part of the immediate grind and then part of the foundation for something better. We're going to have to demonstrate a similarly compelling vision, which is why the manager selection is so crucial.

    If we bring in 5 or 6 (and I think 3-4 is more likely) then I think it'll be a combination of 2-3 short term signings, loans, and 2-3 that are on longer term deals.

    Basically a spine required for one of
    How sad is that we are looking at the January window to provide the one thing that every football fan knows is needed to have any chance of success.
    A SPINE.
    That should be a basic requirement from August .Not scraping in the new year for players to come in and hit the ground running immediately.Biggest window ever and we can’t rely just on getting numbers in.Whoever comes in must be ready for a massive 5 months.That is a big ask.
