This line tickled me:
'There are others keen to take him and the Bantams have made it clear that their policy is never to have to convince a player to come.'

Look, you either want to join a side 6th from bottom in League 2 with unknown joint interim managers, or you don't. We ain't gonna beg.

 

The budget has always been good under Rupp it’s the people spending it that has let the club down

 

Donaldson will be used as a sub till he retires in the summer.
Left side of the 3 behind the striker when looking to close a game down, pressing opposition defenders whilst keeping hold of the ball high up the pitch.
A good option to have around the club if you ask me.

 

Agreed I never understood what some on here and social media saw in him, he had a fantastic game against us when Peterborough destroyed us Boxing Day a few year ago. But every other time I’ve seen him he always seems lazy with a chip on his shoulder, and is now being passed from club to club because Peterborough were once trying to flog him for millions to the championship with no takers. Bradley Dack was arguably behind him when they were both in League one, look at the difference now. No doubt he’s got ability, but someone like that ends up bottom half of league two for a reason.

 

Bettt Lynch would be an upgrade on BRE

 

Hope were still watching tshimanga at boreham wood, there on bt sport against Barnet and he’s scored 2 already and looks exactly what we need

 

New rule.

If they've been here before, let's not discuss them.

The transfer rumours thread should be interesting, not dull as ditch water.

 

We didn’t miss out on Hurst he wasn’t successful in-his application. Our upturn in form means we don’t need to recruit in panic but instead to make sure anyone coming in is right not just for this window but for next season as well.

 

Thats one relegation spot confirmed then

 

Early 20s I think, scoring goals two divisions below, just the sort of player we should be looking at. Not saying we should sign him, but if we were in the championship and a 22 year old was scoring a few in league two you’d expect the scouts or the manager at the very least to go have a look.

Or in other words, a decade or so ago 23 year old Jamie Vardy was scoring goals for Halifax three divisions below us.

 

Edmondson not decided yet, We are still in the mix for him

 

Would like to think something is well down the pipeline - checked in with a couple of scouts I know this morning and they said our name has been linked with a number of possibilities, my main mate said one in particular looked like 'it had legs'. He is going to see if he can find out anymore today.
Not linked specifically to us but he said a new batch of Prem loanees being offered out to EFL clubs in past couple of days - a couple from Chelsea will be tied up today

 

Honeymoon period or not, these guys are certainly striking a chord with me.Like a much needed breath of fresh air is flooding through VP. For once in a long long time fans and management alike appear to be on the same page.A rarity indeed but very satisfying.Appreciate there's a way to go..but so far so good.

 

Too many. What is appealing to me is that Sparks , Trueman and Sellars are young eyes with a different outlookm to the merry go round of managers etc that are normally rolled out. They may yet fall flat on there faces, but the old gaurd have done nothing the past few years.

 

I agree. No transfer is a guarantee, but what I would say is that there looks to be an element of control and planning at play that we’ve not seen for a while. BRE leaves and within a day, Canavan is confirmed. We need pace and width, we’ve brought in a winger as one of our first signings. Samuels leaves and is immediately replaced by Burrell - a similar player but one who at least on paper looks to be more ready for first team football.

It’s not reactionary, or desperate, or last minute, like it usually is.

 

Icing on the cake for me if we could manage to bring McAleny in. Impressed that we have at least enquired

 

A fit novak with Rowe replacing Cooke works for me.
