I Hate Transfer Windows

[JohnDenver]

We went into the window deep in the mire. We came out having sold our best contracted player for nowt, as well as losing our two best loanees.

Coming the opposite way we get two players with a very ordinary pedigree for this level, and three Premiership reserves on loan.

What's left? Enough to stay up?

The sad thing is I had to think quite hard about who was the best player that we'd let go!

I was a big fan of Britton. I'm not sad that he's gone. Good player at the wrong time.I'm worried that we haven't injected any pace or width. We really need Ward / Yeates to shine if there are no more incoming players. That's not good.

A poor day really if the signings end here.
Feel quiete depressed really.

I've been disappointed in the past, but this time I'm angry and close to giving up on us. Fuck any excuses we may have, we're going down the shitter with little light ahead.

Welcome

Have to say I'm genuinely shocked at the reactions, it's not like it's anything out of the ordinary. This is it. This is us.

One of the reasons I wanted Micky was that I thought he would be a man of principle and insist on strengthening the team and wouldn't have the rug pulled from underneath his feet. I live in hope like every transfer deadline night, but fuck knows why

 

[WhiteHawk]

Anyone would think you were surprised. I mean, its not like we do this every transfer window is it?

 

[Houso]

It's not so much the signings we haven't made, its the ones we have. I'm just totally demoralised with the constant disappointment, especially in contrast to what the lot from s6 are doing in the window.

It's not every transfer window your club is starting on it's journey to oblivion

Remember, they havent done a hotel deal that they can't lose from, or bought a Chinese club in a city with a population of a zillion that can only be a money press.



Seriously, the wind was kicked out of me when we spunked all our cash on concrete. As they say, It's the hope that kills you. Once you've lost it, it doesn't seem so bad. Take a look on BM. They were hanging themselves that we weren't signing Andy Reid. I mean, like fuck!

PS - We'll stay up....

Surprised Ward wasn't shipped out too, given the rumours this week.

Gutted to see Bartley go. Really worried about our defence now, keeper included. (I thought we were going to sign the Port Vale keeper). Don't suppose there's any chance of Morgs making an early return?

Wonder what Mickey's opinion was of the Bartley deal?

They've signed some reight shit! Today's signing from Villa had a highlight reel that consisted of him being booked for booting the ball away!

Our signings are not inspiring but they are beefing up the squad where needed. We have to hope they have enough about them to get the 25 points I'd say we need in the last 19 games.

 

[s10blade]

The transfer window only affects teams buying and selling. We can still make loans, which i imagine we'll keep doing, so to us its all irrelevant until we find out who the 25 man premiership squads are.

 

[Houso]

I'd take Johnson, Osborne and Madine and put all 3 straight in our starting lineup. Cook would get in too if he's fit.

 

[JohnDenver]

Don't suppose there's any chance of Morgs making an early return?

Nope. Out for a year. 33 years old. Any return at all seems unlikely to me.
