Regardless of what we think or what we need, most of our budget went in the summer window.
The squad was built in the summer and even then it was said that January would be quiet.

RB would be the only position that I can see coming in and that would be a loan at a guess.
 
Said this since the first summer after we signed Ronald but if he is starting RW by the end of the window it is a disaster.

Simple as that.
 
Need to move on three players. Yalcoue is not one of those three, in my view. If we move on three players we need another central midfielder. I see us needing a Prem loan around 25 years old such as O'Brien last season. However, due to our lowly position, we wont have a good choice in the prem loan market and may lose Yalcoue to a better performing team. Due to our low ranking I can see us bringing in a 30 year old loan from Europe, looking for a permanent end of contract move next season, leading the club to a mid table finish.

We loaned O’Brien last season in more or less the same position in the league as we are now.
 
Bit of a mad debate on Idah and him scoring. Does it really matter? He got the winner and was in the right position, and reacted quickest from the goal keeper being poor and defenders being asleep. We won, got the 3 points. I couldn't care less if he scored every goal this season with his eyes closed. As long as we get the win.
Some have made thier mind up on Adam Idah and won't be happy unless he's proved to have failed.
 
Talk of Piroe possibly going out on loan with Champ clubs interested.

FAO Smurph, I still don't rate Idah as a central striker 🫣
 
He was awful yesterday…
He's quite a limited player in terms of his movement. In a lot of games he can go missing and then pop up with a thunderbolt.

The talk of West Ham pinning their survival hopes on him is quite funny. The lad must have one hell of an agent.
