Most liked posts in thread: January 2021 Transfer Window

For clarification I'm not saying we will go up. But I've seen a team gone from looking like conceding 5 a game to conceding 2 in 5. The only thing we currently lack is quality in the final third and back up to Novak. This season is not a write off despite posts on here to the contrary.

 

Kai Brunker was better for us than Guthrie has been.

 

You rated Joe Colbeck and as a result should be ignored on all things concerning right wingers.

 

Transfer window open for 15 minutes and we haven’t unveiled anybody yet.
Typical City

 

He might be, but so are half the posters on this forum. Being better than DMH is no achievement or benchmark.

 

Parker reporting this morning that the transfer window is now open. Have a word with him Fordy, he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.

 

They need reporting to the police for breaking and entering then . Don’t they know it’s not open on a weekend

 

Well the club are certainly on it in identifying targets. Hopefully one of our top targets lands. I know for a fact we have been active in lodging a cash bid for a player so far this window. We were knocked back but hopefully it is a statement of intent for the rest of the window and we move on to the next target on the list. Won't be disclosing the source or naming the player as I'm not one of those ITK posters and its not my thing, but is is very promising that there could be some interesting activity this month if this bid I know of is anything to go by.

This wasn't a pie in the sky bid, like the Kieffer Moore talk of years ago - talk merely to appease the fans, it was a realistic, six-figure bid, for a player that was a realistic target.

 

Kris Akabusi?

 

Keith-a Moore?

 

Standard Pile Bar greeting.

 

Think i've got his autograph.. !!

 

Guess he'll be announced any minute then

 

I don't mind taking gambles on players like Knight so long as they're properly scouted and analysed.

However, non league players and young loans cannot be the bulk of our business this window. We need a few players between 26-28 who are experienced and in their prime to walk straight into the first team.

Relying on young, unproven players is a reason we're in this mess in the first place.

 

Parkinson never rated him and let him go, in fact only Taylor played him regularly. He was a good goal scorer from midfield but not a good midfielder. He didn’t track back and pick up his man like good midfielders do. I remember an article in Width of a post slamming Parkinson for getting rid of Syers and replacing him with a 35 year old journeyman. That journeyman was Gary Jones.

 

Nazza is a mate of. Mine hes a good lad and will leave everything on the pitch he is a massive upgrade on what we have

 

He looked poor, no one will object to or be sorry that he's gone - but we made Eoin Doyle look sh*t too. We're a graveyard for strikers.

 

Not sure we are weaker tbh
Canavan for Bre is definitely a upgrade
Guthrie gone wasn't exactly getting game time
Samuels as above Burrell can't be any worse.

Stevens at least we have a winger who is fit and pace to burn definitely a upgrade on Ismail and DMH combined

Foulds and Huffer are lads we are taking a look at who may excel hopefully or be gone by summer nothing ventured nothing gained.

Once we get 1/2 more strikers in we will be streets ahead on where we were.

 

5 signings in and our strongest 11 is probably the exact same now as it was before the transfer window opened. Canavan looks decent but even he’s unlikely to strengthen a defence that has conceded 2 goals in the past 5 games. The rest are all punts.

We’ve a slightly stronger bench and that’s about it for the moment.

 

Only because you believe not declaring unfounded positivity is somehow being negative.

There's always middle ground, opinions don't necessarily have to be labelled as positive or negative.
