Because we need to stay up.MuttleyCAFC said:
So why tell us in the match day programme they fast-tracked the sale for January completion (not buying everything there and then) to address what was a vitally important January window?Uboat said:My theory is that they know that January isn't a great time to buy players, so the goal is staying up and they don't want to spend big money on players that aren't good enough for the long term, hence the rather Rolandeaque window so far. In other words, we'll have to wait until the summer to find out about our new owners' ambition.1 -
I would have thought left back is the least of our worries. We current have Purrington & Dougherty to play there, as well as Page when he is fit. What we fecking need is a couple of strikers & midfielders who can run with the ball.Covered End said:Re us after Toffolo. I've heard we met their valuation.
Lincoln manager Michael Appleton says defender Harry Toffolo will only be allowed to leave the club this month if another side meets their valuation of the left-back.
Huddersfield made an offer for Toffolo in recent days - that’s despite a 'gentleman's agreement' between manager Danny Cowley and his former club when he left for Huddersfield in September that he would not make an approach for any of their players or staff until at least the end of this season.
It's thought the fee offered for Toffolo, who is also attracting interest from other Championship sides, was below Lincoln's valuation of the 24-year-old but discussions between the clubs are ongoing.0 -

Next two weeks windows are critical.

Ok. Rush the deal so Roland still owns the assets and then don't spend any more in the window than he would have!Uboat said:

As I've said numerous times today, you don't end up signing players in order of your priority.golfaddick said:

What do you want us to do ?
Everything all agreed & medical done, but we don't sign him because we have a greater priority for a striker than a left wing back ? :-)11 -

On 31 January 2013, transfer deadline day, Habibou completed his move to Leeds United on a six-month loan with the option to make the move permanent. Habibou made his debut as a second-half substitute in Leeds' 1–0 defeat against Cardiff City on 2 February. Habibou's only start came in Leeds' Yorkshire Derby against Huddersfield Town. On 3 May, Leeds announced that they wouldn't be making Habibou's loan deal permanent.

I used to like Christmas as a kid. Even as as an adult it was fun when CatJnr was young. But now, all Christmas means is the f’in January window is about to open and there’s going to be 31 days of stressful bollox on the internet.Tomorrow I’m heading off for a week of winter sun but I know as soon as I get that hotel wifi I’ll be logging in to this sodding thread3

I'm going to Rome for the last few days of the window.0

But a left back is not needed. I agree that you can't always sign players in a certain order, but we don't need to be looking at a left back atm. Sort out the strikers & midfield & if there is time & money left over then look at a left back.Covered End said:

We're trying to get in players for all required positions.
You deal with them all at the same time.
You don't spend 3 weeks on a couple of deals and when they fall through try to initiate new deals with a couple of days left before the window closes.9 -
I think the point is that signing other positions is fine as long as the priority positions get filled and the order they happen is beyond our control.2

Have no fear, the deal will be completed by Thursday week, once we have played and lost to Preston and Fulham

No offence to the big lad but if he’s the standard that the club are targeting then I’m going to be very disappointed.6

The chronic lack of investment in a competitive squad enabling us to sub in championship level quality in the spate of an injury crisis came home to roost. Chelsea compiled that by being shits. Entitled to do what they did. Entitled shits.masicat said:Jesus, some depressing things on here. I remember the Duchatalet days when Cullen and Gallagher we’re running the midfield. Teams like Leeds would come to the valley and get turned over , and we were at the top of the league. Managers were a dime a dozen and would sign whatever was put in front of them. We also won Wembley finals. What has happened?
All this fault lies at the door of the twat who has just left the building. What Bowyer did at the start of the season was remarkable but was built on foundations of sand.
This new lot have had the keys 5 minutes and that we are busy actively trying to make signings, tie down Bowyer, communicate with fans daily, meet CAST and generally clear up and start to undo the utter clusterfuck of the last 6 years is nothing short of remarkable.
No matter what happens this window or this season we are better than the slow death the club was enduring. It was a mirage that we were progressing....we were just getting by and the overall demise was concealed by the magnificent achievement of Bowyer and his staff and squad in the past 18 months.
Need to have a "can do" optimistic attitude, grab our collective balls and do the best we can from top of the club down including our fanbase.
Que sera sera and moping and woe is me thinking (not aimed at you at all masicat) is not the way forward despite how bitten we've been before.
Time will tell but we need to at least give them time and 100% support herein. Hannibal, Murdoch, Face and BA would struggle to turn the CAFC tanker around with ease so we need to be realistic in our expectations.42 -
Toffolo is a decent left back, I've seen him play for a couple of clubs .. however, I wouldn't consider him to be much if at all better than Purrington, though with Ben's confidence seemingly at a low ebb, he might be in better form a t m .. central defence should be a priority if we are looking at defendersgolfaddick said:
