If you look at Ipswich as a comparison, they’ve gone almost the completely opposite way. Their promotion team from League 1 and the Championships was almost exclusively UK and Ireland players. I think their manager is even on record saying he prefers to work with British/Irish players as they’re all familiar with the FA coaching framework and it help communication.

But then Brentford and Brighton have been successful with majority overseas players.

Maybe there’s no one best approach to recruitment other than don’t be shit at it!
We need experienced Championship/league players to come in at this moment in time, we're dropping like a stone so far this year, Grimes gone Darling likely to go, plus we needed players before losing these two, three if you include Abdulia even could include Wilson who could have come in

That just ain't gonna happen
 
If it's for next season then fair enough IF we get some to fill up a depleted squad for this season. If not it's fucking farcical. It's like having severed your artery and you're bleeding out and you go to the shop and get some pads for your corns. I said about a couple of loans at the least are required and that was before Abdullai Grimes and Darling left. Okay Harry hasn't gone yet. I'm sorry but at the moment these guys in charge are fucking idiots. Still a few days to go to at least change my mind a little.
 
We need to see what the squad looks like post window.

If we can pull in 2 or 3 players of note then we can get our 6 wins still required

No additions will leave us hoping the bottom 6 don't improve. Luton are looking to spend £14M this window , Hull have spent and improving, Cardiff are splashing the debt, even Plymouth are pushing the boat out for survival.

Coleman has big decisions this week which incorrectly calls sends us down
 
Very brief statement on OS about accepting a bid for Grimes.
Confirmed that he asked to leave the club
 
Brief is an understatement. Telling or am I over thinking it?
Probably a little annoyance given they gave him a decent contract and he made out that he was all Swansea.

Club come calling with a concrete offer of more money and he was off as quick as anything.

It's only a statement saying they've accepted a bid to be fair. Once the deal is done, I'm sure there'll be a longer club announcement, thanking Grimes for his service etc
