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.
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.
As I've said numerous times today, you don't end up signing players in order of your priority.
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 ? :-)
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.
Of course a left back is needed. We only have one, and he doesn't really suit the way we want to play as he's not as capable as a wing back. You can absolutely be looking at a left back at the same time as a striker, it's not like there's designated looking at players time for all clubs.
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?
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.
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.

Best post I’ve read in ages. Sums up our current plight perfectly!

Matt Southall, must be clear in his answers. Mix messages are coming out and there is ambiguity. I only said the honeymoon was over By 9pm on the 2nd because the window was already open. If we are struggling to get players from League 1 after 15 days of the window then its food for thought. Tomorrow's press conference is going to be interesting. We are now entering the second half of this window so no more talk of its early days. I have no doubt Steve Gallen is working 18 hour days but I also hope it more than the 24th budget in the championship. We still don't known because only Green on loan has come in. No yardstick to go by ?
I know we don’t know the full picture of what’s going on , maybe we’ve been knocked back on Lee’s contract and other transfer bids we’ve made, in that the budget isn’t big enough to compete.
Maybe Matt’s gone over to Abu Dhabi, to show the lie of the land to HE , and Matt needs to convince him we need to up our game, and our budget, if we’re going to get transfer targets over the line.
Got the feeling Matt’s gonna be racking up the air miles!

Not very bright though is he, wouldnt it have been better to have passed the duck to a steward?
Instead its free again so can just fly back on to the pitch
Every time he went in for a tackle, his syrup fell down over his eyes.

I don't know much about him but it's a yes from me, his name is Barlaser.
Currently on loan at Rotherham, a lot of their fans saying he is a massive reason for their current form*
...
Come on Newcastle, do a Chelsea
Put the shirt on, rather than holding it.

Well it certainly seems he is leaving Peterborough one way or another
