Bogle, Lapslie, Doughty, Smyth, Williams(?) Oztumer(?) out
Stockley, Smith, Millar, Schwartz, Kirk(?) in.... Is that a good window overall
I’d have liked one more youngster on a perm but those changes have to be a big upgrade.
Yep, good window for me. Shame Bowyer can't work with either Williams or Oztumer as they've done well it at this level previously, but Kirk seems to be a decent upgrade option given his age.
I also really like how Kirk has played 120 games in 2 and a half seasons which I’d guess is similar to JW anc Ozzy combined
This time last year we were at the bottom of the barrel no money no signings (worth getting excited about) and a severely thin squad. Am I the only one who is buzzin we are after signing players for positions we don’t even particularly need?! What a position to be in during a revenue decimating pandemic, up the Charlton.
I will be even more so if Krik from Crewe is done or Randall from Exeter. It will show a real long term plan rather than short term patches we have had for so long.
Whatever happens this season i am so positive and excited for the future.
Always good to see a midfielder come in. Yes we have a few but the current crop just haven't hit it yet (Gilbey) or have one arse cheek on the coaching bench (Pratley/ Watson)
JFC
Shinnie
Morgan
Smith
Pratley
That's the first choice starters and subs
Gilbey Watson
Fighting it out for best last spot. Given JFC could be one game away from an injury and Darren Yellow there's still life for them.
I don't know why but this constant bigging up is doing my head in abit:
"He has improved as a player under us. The list is bloody endless – of people doing well and moving on."
That's not for our benefit, the fans.
It's so the media pick up on it and it gets known throughout football that we improve players. Then players want to come to us and Prem clubs want to lend us their bright young prospects.
Paul Mullin has been linked, he has scored 20 goals for Cambridge this season! Can’t see us signing another striker unless one is on the move!! Probably BS.

But only if it's actually true though
I doubt Man City thought we improved the other Matt Smith, or Utd thought we improved Dylan Levitt
Well Bows and Gallen said they were trying to shuffle the pack in this window and it’s good to see that they’re making the tough calls. I see Will Grigg is being linked with Mk Dons so that may free up space if they want Maddison. Would be a hugely risky move as if he settles he could fly them up the table.
Grigg looked to have a lot to offer Sunderland for league 1 and has been an absolute failure. 5 goals in 3 seasons for £4m!
Remember the melt down that they signed Grigg and we ended up with Parker...........

Maybe Chuks is off. Can’t believe that we won’t get any bids for him.

Williams/Ozzy 113
Kirk 119
And he’s much younger. Really liking the small green shoots I’m seeing. Hungry, young squad needs to be where we are heading with a long term plan beyond whatever happens this season.

Good record this year but has a touch of the Ajoses about him
26 and this is the first season he's hit double figures in 6 league 2 seasons

I think Grigg would have done ok next to Taylor though. The cost was mental mind, not worth that
Can’t see Chuks moving due to his awful injury record and the fact he can’t complete 90 minutes, very risky suppose clubs will take a punt if he becomes a free agent.
What time is his move to a championship club being announced?
Stupid way to judge a player
We all know Chuks is better than Bonne but who's the one playing in the championship
But we all know why Chuks isn't.
Why has Maddison had one loan spell in the championship, that by any metric, was an absolute disaster, yet Williams is about to sign for a championship club for the 7th time?

Just checked his stats. 25 goals and 30 assists in 119 games, vs 5 and 9 in 113 for the Ozzilliams pair.
Obviously different levels played, but seems an exciting prospect, which I am in every doubt we'll get done!

All those managers can't be wrong can they?
7th is a slight exaggeration, but your point is valid. His career has been going backwards though, he can’t get into a League 1 team currently.

Yes, but Bowyer would have turned Will Grigg into Lewandowski.

Don't believe Smith is a cdm. Think he is more attacking than that.
Quite right I misread where he's played. He's played twice at CDM and scored one of his goals there as well as winning that game 3-1. they lost the other 2-0 against Blackpool... Maybe don't play him there!

Funny how the Managers keep getting that one wrong
