I have come to the conclusion that with all of the injuries and the takeover, which will probably go through on February 1st, that we might as well sit back, try and enjoy the rest of the season, hopefully we will see some wins, and, as the last few years, dream of next season
Shame. He started well there. Wycombe mates rate him highly. They said he had linked up well with Akinfenwa playing as a shadow striker. I think he is exactly what we could use if we want to go two up top.
I think Hanlan would fit out system much better. But frankly I don't know that 20/1 year-olds with <20 league games to their names are the answer. Hopefully we'll get in enough cover to send them back out on loan (think Hanlan's loan ends mid-Jan).
Listening to the commentary today 26 year old Swedish striker Robin Simović was mentioned. He is currently playing in the J-League for Nagoya Grampus 8. Other than that I know absolutely nothing about him.
6'6" but unlike our previous scandi striker, he can actually head the ball. Decent feet, mobility, and two-footed. Not quick but not slow either. Was linked last window. I'd like us to look at Soulyman Coubillay for who we'd have to buy out his middle east contract and Jonathan da Silva, a Brazillian in Korea.

I assume we could recall Hanlan before then? With our injury crisis, it would be nice to have an additional option for the Oldham game on the 6th (I'm not sure he would be allowed to play on the 1st)
Maybe there is a clause in the contract that allows an agreed transfer budget added onto the sale price. Say they agree on £2m (made up figure) but only 700k is spent at the point of sale, the new owner pays an extra £700k. There would be no point not investing and staying in this league for another year
If he is thinking of selling the club, why would he be putting money in for transfers.
This was my thinking. Unless he's been advised by potential owners they won't buy if the club starts dropping out of the play offs.
Would the following be allowed to happen during a takeover where the new owners ask RD to buy a player for £5m with the new owners adding £5m on to the sale of the club

As long as the price for the club reflects the expenditure (and both sides agree with the expenditure) why not?
Indeed, as the first half of the season has shown, the weakness in one position has had a massive impact on the team. £1m on a decent striker last August might have increased the potential value of the club by much more than £1m now if it meant we were top 2 or 3 and not 9th.
I can't see Sheff Utd giving us Hanson or Donaldson after what happened with Holmes in the summer. Both would be great signings but Chris Wilder was pretty pissed off about how the situation with Holmes was managed so I imagine we're bottom of his list of teams to want to deal with going forward.
Yeah, I mean how dare we tell Wilder he's not for sale and get him to sign a new, longer contract, and then still have to reject bids for him because he clearly didn't get the message
Oi, cut it out son. Sheffield Utd came good, nuff said
#cafc boss Karl Robinson was keen on a January loan deal for Preston striker Eoin Doyle but current loan club Oldham are suggesting that he could now be out for an extended period of time www.londonnewsonline…
“He’ll be coming back, that’s my view. We’ll see if he can score as many in the Championship. Unless of course someone comes in and offers a bonkers deal for him, I don’t know.”
with Meire gone can't see us offering a bonkers deal
What deal was Best signed on, I thought is was just December?
Injury report from the club says he is targeting the new years day fixture for his return, what's the odds he will one of the 2 strikers we are supposed to be signing?

Gutted....can't believe he's gonna fail to deliver in yet another Jan transfer window.

Depends if he is over his demons
We'll spend 65m this January and fail to get promoted.
