January Transfer Rumours

[Pegojack]

Excuses already in tomorrows programme notes for the January window.

Yep. A big slice of bullsh*t, served up with extra cack.

 

[Niigata Jack]

He was on loan at Oxford from Blackpool

He's going for 2.5 mill I read, yet we didn't trust him to play for us yet another one we moved on and who has done well elsewhere and being sold for a decent wedge its remarkable.
Coleman couldn't wait to get rid of Pinky and Perky and yet he's making the same mistakes that he wanted them gone for, the club is shambles.
PSR maybe a stumbling block, but there must be some wriggle room, otherwise why make the claim that they had players ready to sign on the dotted line during the first days/week of the window, it doesn't make sense and I don't believe that the WBA debacle has anything to do it.

Yes I agree the WBA was just a side issue.

Are we expecting Abdulai to be completed today?

 

[AusinIsOurHero]

Also from his programme notes, think we can safely expect little to no incoming activity this window?

No surprise.

The only mitigating factor is that it is hard to get strikers in (I still think we need one and it should be a priority along with another defender or 2). Nobody else is able to sign strikers. I think Barnes left Norwich to go back to Burnley, but he has the history there and his legs have gone anyway. Sheffield Utd have loaned Berreton Diaz from S'ton. In the PL and Championship I think those are the only two strikers signed.

It doesn't explain other positions. My lad told me yesterday that Low has apparently started following the SCAFC and Cabango accounts on TikTok or Instagram or somewhere like that. If true, maybe that's a hint that the Low deal is moving

I can handle a quiet window as January is always notoriously difficult.

What winds me up is Coleman telling us they're already working on signings for the next window only for it to be another shambles.

if he Kees his mouth shut then we don't have expectations that they actually known what they're doing.

Exactly, it’s the building false expectations better to say nothing and just see how it ends up.

He just can't help himself.

I get he’s trying to get things right, but he’s a bit to try hard for me, we still haven’t even got a DOF in yet after 3 months, he’s taking on to much workload imo.

I like to think he is trying to hard to impress.

We either hear too much or nothing at all. An example of him going mute was when we sacked Duff.

The bloke disappeared for a month or so.

An experienced DOF is absolutely key. One that's allowed to function as a proper one too - not just a yes man. Coleman doesn't have the experience of running football operations and we'll just repeat our past mistakes and go nowhere until we address that. In my opinion that is.

100% agree, we’re desperate for someone who’s a football person who know what to do.

 

[AusinIsOurHero]

I thought we were close to someone back in December on that front, but it all seems to have gone quiet.

 

[Swansea93]

Another one of our academy products who we didn’t give a chance to is joining West Brom on loan, Al Hamidi, seems like he’s progressed into a solid player.
