No one leaving, no one coming in?

[scouseblade]

Wilders presser then. Stated that no one will be leaving in JTW and there is nothing to report on incomings. Could be a very quiet window then!

[ormester]

Pretty poor

 

[Champagneblade]

Pretty poor

Sounds like we are

Still no point wasting money but given we have no midfielder on the bench and Berge not back for some time then I think we are taking a bit of a risk.

 

[Snowflake]

Pretty poor

..but may be good enough. It was last season and injuries are subsiding.
If there was a really good rcm available on loan then yes, but I don’t think there is !

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Nobody in their right mind would join a club 9 points off safety...6....and maybe movement happens

Jack Wilshere is going to Bournemouth... Kagawa is also free, wonder if we could go for either

 

[Shoreham_Bhoys]

Not surprising, can’t see the Prince being too happy with our return on investment recruitment wise. He won’t trust Wilder/the recruitment team with much from now on.

I believe its a case of some need to go before others can come in.

We do still have half a dozen goalkeepers. I got the impression had Moore not got injured he would be on his way out in the last transfer window.

Not buying a midfielder this Jan is an act of gross negligence!!

We can offer 6 months of PL experience, which if you're an up and coming L1 or lower Championship player, you'd jump at the chance at.

We're ridiculously light in Centre mid - and it's not like there's a risk of 3 or 4 players going down overnight with a contagious virus...

 

[Half Bond Jls]

I saw Jesse Lingard driving into the car park on my daily jog around the Lane

 

[Guesty]

Makes sense to me, this season is beyond salvaging and I think January is generally much worse for value than the Summer. It's a pity we aren't shifting a few on though.

 

[1987]

Didn't sound promising did it! Weve no idea the players who might have said no to a loan though, thats what happened with Lingard right? Top championship clubs are probably more attractive than we are at this moment in time.

Shame though, because we need a midfielder so badly.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Of course, people we might want might not want to come here as has already happened with Lingard.

The thread headline sounds very much it was said by Jack Reacher

"No-one got on, no-one got off"

 

[Need4speed]

One of the issues has been Wilder tinkering with the team to get a result. This has not really worked Now forced by injury and Covid he has a winning team Stick with it It is a risk with us so light in midfield but Ossie and Bash could slot in there and to be honest I would rather have them then get a player in who has played little and is not match fit. If we could get a midfield target that would be a good addition long term I would be happy rather than a supposed short term fix who doesn’t give a shit whether we survive or not.

 

[Athens Blade]

Just watched Chris’s interview. It looks to me like we won’t ne bringing anyone in this window. He so dismissive when asked about it.

 

[dillis]

Frustrating but incredibly predictable if true.

It is only negligent if one is available who is as good or better than what we have AND wants to come.

 

[Snowflake]

Which Lane ? Where you in Manchester by any chance or just having a bad day ?

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Better than what we have sets the bar pretty low at the moment...

 

[Stevo]

Right decision, let the squad we have scrape some pride back and fight for their place in the squad next season, there won't be many takers for them die to their displays of late, pointless buying players now , I'm sure new players won't want a relegation on their CV ,but some may want a championship title medal/promotion next year

 

[Jake Richard Cuthbert]

We have made moves to sign Jesse Lingard and Brandon Williams according to Football Insider.

 

[Fraggle Blade]

it's the hope that kills you..........Just wish they hadn't bothered saying we were getting a home and international loan in and business would be done early.

 

[1889]

In any of the last few windows has Chris Wklder ever said anything else ?

 

[Brownieblade]

Why another LB in Williams ??

 

[Snowflake]

True, but you still have to find better ones who want to come and I personally rate Bogle quite highly in that position

 

[Rob86]

Well the last 2 transfer windows have resulted in us falling off a cliff, so I’ll forgive the owner for saying that’s enough.

Maybe Wilder thinks the same as well to be fair. He’s recruited what he though would improve us and it hasn’t.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

My view is that if Norwood pulls a hammie and Lundstram gets a red card, with Berge out - we're even more fooked!

Next season, we're in a similar boat. We're paper thin in Centre mid...

 

[Jan Age]

I think we will soon see a director of football to oversee recruitment.... not my ideal... but no one could argue with return on money spent

 

[Farnboroughblade]

As I have said on previous threads, CW was expecting us (and probably most of our fanbase) that we would consolidate this season in the Premier league finishing comfortably mid table and his purchases in the last windows were players for the future ie 21/22 season and beyond. We will get return on our money spent, starting from next season. I'm sure in hindsight he would have done things differently had he known that the players either through injury or playing sub standard were going to let him down. Who'd be a manager heh?
