Cawley reporting we could sign four players, three being loans and one permanent.
Does though mention things can change in a matter of hours, nevermind days.
Four players sounds good but would really rather start signing permanents getting them ready for next season, fed up of loans.
How about we concentrate on staying up and worry about next season in the summer ?
With our players coming back I.e Cullen ,Williams and Taylor I really cant see us going down.
Only takes a couple of those to get injured again or Taylor to leave next week and we are fucked.
That’s why I’d rather they bring in 2-3 permanant signings, Fed up of loaning players making them better and sending them back, that was all well and good whilst we had Roland as needs must but you’d like to think esi would do things a bit different.

Interesting that three loans would take us to six loans in total, can't see this happening for a number of reasons, just speculating but is it possible Cullen could still be the permanent signing (even with West Ham extending his contract another year) which would free up another loan space to be able to bring in three more loans?

MS said during the supporters group meeting that Cullen very much sees his future at West Ham.

Next season I hope we're less reliant on loans. Remember reading the other day Gallen said ideally we bring in 1 or 2 loans to top up the squad. Recently we've been bringing in 5 to ensure we're competing were we should be.
This season we just need to stay up. If loans give us the best players and value for money then that's what we need to go with. At least there's no risk of them being recalled.
Rightly or wrongly, I expect Alfie Doughty is prob now seen as a full time graduate to the first team given the injury crisis and his form since he’s come in, so that may mean it wouldn’t be the end of the world were we not to get all the bodies in in midfield that we require
Of course I would like him to be given more time and eased in, but got a feeling he’ll be part of the squad for the run in and and get a few games

Yeah that’s fair enough and I do get that point about staying up but I think another couple of signings will be enough regardless, totally agree with Gallen that 1/2 loans a season to just bulk up the squad is the way forward.

Exactly this. You only, realistically, get 2 years to build a team. After that if you haven't achieved your plan your better players start to leave and your lesser players (who haven't delivered) need replacing anyway.
As it stands we probably have 2 or 3 players under contract for next season that would considered first team players for a serious championship team. Then 5 or 6 that would be good squad players. You don't want to be clogging up the place with squad players, for a number of reasons.
Loans are vital, IMO, look at the quality you can bring in. No way could a championship side sign the likes of Abrahams, Mount, Gallagher, Bewster etc on permanent deals. You need that level of quality.

The right quality of player is hard to sign when you might still get relegated.

Yeah I'm sure we all would, but january is a bad time for prices, so you loan in for 3 months... stay up and then sell the playoffs and the 5 year plan to next years targets.
Florentin is a defender playing in the MLS, must be him.
Mathias has played in England and Scotland but he’s a striker currently in the Spanish lower leagues.
Sign all three brothers and we could have a spine of Pogba’s through the middle of the team.
Looked on wiki, totally underwhelmed. A journeyman footballer if ever I saw one. Definitely not one who will improve the team in my opinion. And definitely not one who will push us on to the next level.
It's quite possible that he's just training with the club as a favour to someone? If not, and they're interested in him, I suspect it'll be for a good reason, as Gallen and Bowyer have shown they have an eye for a player.
Atlanta United FC was only set up in 2017 and has the highest average attendance (52,510) in the MLS, and an incredible stadium. And for the second time it's the MLS’s most valuable team. The third-year franchise is valued at $500 million on Forbes’ annual list, up from $330 million last year.
None of that means the standard is massively high though.
Leeds look like signing Jean-Kévin Augustin who is on loan to Monaco at the moment, from RB Leipzig with a view to a permanent move in the summer, good signing he would be for them.

Surely they’ll be getting close to breaking FFP rule soon!
Augustin cost RBL 11mil not so long ago , so surely won’t be cheap!!!
Starting to lean more towards a few loans and a perm will do. With the right short term loans and that one quality permanent it should be enough to see us stay up as long as we hold on to Lyle. Then it's a massive rebuild in the summer, let's have it right as said before only about 6-8 of these are good enough for us, rest need contracts running down or loans to League1/2 teams.
On the POGBA story, isn’t Sarr one of his best mates so guess that where the link comes from. Brotherly love
Do we reckon Naby said to Bows, "Gaffer, I've got a mate who's just finished the MLS season. Any chance he could join us for training to keep himself fit?".
We can't afford complacency. At least seven more wins are needed in my view, we won't get them only by signing players in this window, Bowyer has to continue to make demands.
Or perhaps a realistic and achievable expectation is 5 wins and 5 draws?

3 loans seems odd - why would we want 6 loanees?
We could have done with 6 loanees during our injury crisis!
Very true but surely clubs will be less likely to loan us players if they won't play. Maybe that just applies to the younger players and might be offset if we are now paying a fee/more of the wages
Loans make sense in that we don’t want to offer 3 year deals to those available players who won’t be part of the rebuilding job this summer. Get in some temporary Prem u23 quality to see us over the line this season. You can bet Bow and Gallen have a master plan for the next three years.
This summer should be really exciting with a proper, considered squad rebuild. Offering players 3 year deals to mirror Bowyer’s, the journey can continue.
Gallen will be so relieved he doesn’t have to do another complete rebuild, offering players 12mnths, after this summer.

Survive then rebuild is the right way to go!

Invariably a few out of contract players will leave, and while Pearce is under contract it wouldn't surprise me if he left for a nominal fee as well
Should be an interesting week.
Seems more like a 10.000 metre race where nothing happens until last lap.
I have just heard the bell.
I trust Bowyer and Gallen to get it right
It would give us the target 50 points.
