Same as every transfer window, early promise, sell good/best players, release some rumours about signing someone good, then talk about how disappointed they were not to get the targets they identified a week before the window closed. Given how much KR is talking up the training ground (that was already fully funded and a string to KMs 'RD is great' bow) and how we can now afford to fund it, are we really expecting the cash to splash?
Hanlan has gone on loan to Bromley. Good luck to him, from what i've seen of him he doesn't look great. Would prefer Umerah as a back up
The ban on emergency loans in the Football League has been very good for the National League, as that's the only place you can send someone for a short period, and they'll be getting players who previously may have gone to a L2 side
FFS spend some money on decent players to get us out of this shit league. Knew this would happen. Plenty promised bugger all achieved. Even if then spent a quatre of the money that has come in. Joke. Fuck off Roland.

Agreed Robinson promised us but yet again RD won't give a manager the money! Robbo won't stand for that!
“If we are going to bring someone else in it will be a marquee one that sets the benchmark of what we want to do. But it might not happen."
To be fair, after his comments the other day about Will Grigg being out of our reach due to being in a championship team, along with the rumours that we had inquired, I would hazard a guess that he is the player he is talking about here. I wouldn't consider Reeves a marquee signing and Grigg also ticks the box of Robinson wanting to sign a player who improves us "at the top of the field"
Omar Bogle fits for me. Young, big and scores goals. I know others have said that others are looking, make a better offer. Simples. It is what our owners says we do. Buy em young and sell em on.
Hope I'm wrong, but most of the Lookman & Fox money has disappeared into Roland's network, we'll be buying or loaning players no better than we have already. Robinson's been lied to just like the rest of us. One week of the January transfer window to go,you can only hope, but another season in league 1 is inevitable
They signed a kid from Leicester in the week who scored today. Centre midfielder. Think Reeves could be off....but I imagine he has other clubs after him.
Think Robinson has been clever the way he has dealt with it, he must know Reeves well and have a good relationship with him. If he is indeed off, expect him to be here by February.
Until Magennis is back, think we could still be able to put out a team which should have enough attacking threat to cause problems if we sign Reeves.

One day they might surprise us...

What's he going to do? Go to Belgium and beg the organ grinder again?
But they do
Someone on here has already mentioned a marquee signing!
