    Thatchers favourite type of economy …Trickle down . It’s potentially great if the country is booming, it manufactures something and has a flourishing export market. If not then a lack of commercial and manufacturing activity affects everyone , football clubs outside the Prem included.

    Don't read the Hibs forum TB, he's something of a comedy character up there with how poor he's been.

    0 goals and 0 assists in 23 games for Hibs last season when he was fine then he had to have heart surgery in the summer after a heart problem was picked up in pre-season testing so only returned to the pitch at the start of January. Even before the heart issue he's only had 1 good season then the rest he's done nothing special. Taking out his spell at Swindon he's only got 17 goals in 118 appearances.

    true but that's not my point, were over staffed because of the summer (and not moving on the likes of Derbyshire even if paying some of his contract up) and a lack of strategy to allow a buffer for jan, and in terms of these incomings, is Alexander actually getting a real say on it.

    Yes aware . No clubs are spending money bar Wrexham , irrespective if their squad sizes. If there is money from investment from owners then it will be spent. Just look at the numbers this window , and need look no further.

    A bloke sat by me on Saturday was convinced we are signing Lee Evans and Deight Gayle this week.

    Fairly certain we only have 1 slot left in the squad registration slot, but I don't think that would have put him off. He was saying Evans had been released because he hasn't been good enough to get in the Ipswich squad..... nothing about him having MCL surgery in October.

    Lee Evans would have been a cracking signing.

    He's been incredibly injury prone over the last few seasons and has just come back from surgery for an MCL injury. He's been released by Ipswich but is still training with them to get back to full fitness before looking for another club. It would be a hell of a risk taking him on, especially when we already have 2 croked midfield players in Walker and Pattison.

    Sounds similar to the Longstaff situation.

    I read somewhere that Tranmere made a bid for Tyler Smith on deadline day

    For anyone wondering, we have submitted our squad lists for the remainder of the season and left 2 open slots if we'd like to bring in any players on a free. Although the way Alexander talked about squad size, I'm guessing we are done for the season.

    Can we still bring in a keeper on emergency loan if Walker gets crocked?( Hope not!)

    I wouldn’t have been upset if it was completed in all honesty.
