I read into that we are in no rush to sign anyone.
Players leaving have not been involved recently.
Russ if we sign someone will you play him?
Answer Perhaps. :?:

Seems we’re holding for Ogbene, he hasn’t moved anywhere so I’d imagine seeing him through the door by Saturday once Pato and Obafemis exits are confirmed.

Perhaps if we sign players that martin actually want then that might be a start instead of players, especially loans, who are forced on him.

Exactly the point. Do we know for a fact he didn't request any of the loans?
Has Martin actually stated he wants Ogbene?
It's difficult to know who he has requested as managers don't tend to make it public who they want as they tend to state he's not our player and won't talk about it.
Does Martin go to other games with scouts to check out players he may be interested in?
I don't know any of the above.
Others on here may do.

I think Martin's quote was regarding Ogbene, he was kept out of Rotherham squad a week back, now back in it in starting XI this week. Rotherham may not be in the mood to wait around.

Apparently Rotherham want 2M for Ogbene.
