  • I was (still am) really hoping we would take a no risk approach to relegation and just completely take it out the equation by going hard at the window....

    Still time - but McGeady and Bostock...... we need to do so much more.
    How many more players do you feel we need? In addition to McGeady only as not seen Bostock announced?

    Two solid championship signings, Bostock changed the game around for Forrest at the Valley.
    add Clarke Harris and one more, plus keep Taylor and I’ll be over the moon with that.
    Bostock has played three games for Forest.

    McGeady hasn’t played since November.

    Can anyone say we would have adequately replaced Gallagher with these two?

    Taylor staying would be more significant than either.
  • MS has gone awfully quiet.

    Roland would have been castigated for this window.

    I think we are looking at the right positions (couple midfielders and a striker is what I want).

    numbers are fine - it’s the quality that isn’t.

    JCH would be someone who would be good but only if Taylor stays

    I think maybe what people are saying is with us in our position and lack of spending power in comparison to other clubs, who could we have got who would've been better.
  • Taylor is the key now. He stays and things are looking much better. Him going leaves us in a precarious position.

    He's incredibly cringey.
    I know, let's get Katrien back ..... and let her ruin the show.

    Sorted

  • Only 9 hours to go ..... in the meantime we still await our Super Dupa signing. And the Marquee signing. And one loan.


  • MS has gone awfully quiet.
    He's at lunch

    Bostock - has played 5 times, caused us some problems with our strongest side out. 2 assists, 1 in the Championship & 1 in the Carabao cup. He has quality but hasn't really ever stepped up. Maybe under Bowyer he can.

    McGeady - November wasn't that long ago. Not too concerned. His attitude however...

    Gallagher was a lucky strike I don't think anyone including Bowyer and Gallen expected him to be quite so good. To replace him with a proven player would cost at least £5m.

    Taylor staying will be the most significant move ESI can make.

  • Surprised we're going for Bostock, if true. Undoubted talent, but been unable to settle anywhere. Still, it's all about staying up and he's another creative player.

    Only seem to be linked to forward players at the moment. Thought it was the defence that needed help.

    Saw Bostock at The Valley in a Charlton v Spurs youth game once and he looked pretty special. He's a flair player but has hardly played any football this season. Not exactly bargain basement shopping, but it's an odd choice.

    No not really but to be honest we probably got lucky with Gallagher. He'd never played a senior game and little was expected of him. Very quickly he became one of, if not the best player in our team. 

    If what is known about him now was known back at the start of August he wouldn't have been coming on loan to a side just promoted from league one who were expected to struggle.

  • Bournemouth could be desperately scratching around for a forward in the next few hours if man utd come in for Josh King again!

    :-(

    Not transfer related, but thought I’d just give you an insight into the pit of misery that my dad’s mate lives in when it comes to all things CAFC

    This is just what I want to see in the run up to the deadline to lift my spirits 
    No offence to your dad’s mate but surely it’s tiring living your life like that?
    Mate, he's an absolute nause.  Relentless at games, sits next to me, whinging, moaning, complaining.  You just don't need it

    As it’s rumour day - briefly heard we are under an embargo. 
    Something to do with a sponsor putting in money in an incorrect way. 

    Just what I heard..  
    Am certain this'd have been picked up by now.

    With AMB out maybe another GK?
    Ben Amos maybe? ;)
    I know but fitness unproven, makes Harness the No.3

    You can see Brizzle Rovers fans are just as cynical as we are:


    "You can see this all going through at 11pm- Taylor suddenly leaves so Charlton spend big on JCH and we get Wilberforce Ocran or whoever in return on loan.


    Blimey, they've heard of Wilberforce Ocran ......?????? :smile:
