Attacking mid on loan from a Prem team. Jack Clarke or Anjorin have made the most sense to me out of all the names thrown around. Even then I feel like both of them could secure Championship loans so either would be a coup.
Weren’t we linked with that Miguel Azeez at Arsenal? He’s played 8 minutes for them this season.

I think that was only via a random Arsenal fan on Twitter.

Bowyer said they’ve been playing, you wouldn’t think he’d be talking about u23 games.
Can’t see a prem youngster coming to league 1 if he has been playing in the prem regularly.
It’s either an u23 player or someome who is out on loan already and playing.
I think it’ll probably be someone recalled from their loan in League 1 or 2.
Liam Millar from Pool. Has already been mentioned. Cawley reports
Doesnt sound like he's set to sign though
I would say that's its done. Based on the pass if RC mentions it its done and dusted so Bowyer feels its so safe to publish.
Normally RC publish then OS confirms later in the day. Finger crossed that's the case.
I said that to a mate earlier, if it's RC printed, it's either a done deal, or it's fallen through and now safe to report that we were interested. I'd say the former at this stage of the window - time to YouTube stalk the lad!
The standout aspect from the line ups of both sides yesterday was the average age of the respective sides - Hull's was 24 and ours nearer 29. They had 7 players 24 or younger whereas we had 2 including an 18 year old loanee. They didn't have a single player over 30 but we had 5 in that category. The average age of Lincoln's starting XI was 24 too with 7 of their side that age or under.
They are clearly building for the future and playing younger, fitter and faster players. We have signed and are playing a lot of bodies that are journeymen whose best years are behind them.
When we went up last time we had the likes of Fosu-Henry, Aribo, Bielik, Cullen, Grant, Dijksteel, Lapslie and even a few cameos from Morgan who were all 23 or under but who went on to make 216 appearances between them. And all six of the ones that have left us are now playing at a higher level - Lapslie is on his way too and yet LB thought he was good enough to make 27 appearances as a 21 year old but who isn't now.
Where are their equivalents this season? Yes we are missing Doughty but who is to say that he isn't going to go the same way as so many before him? Morgan is a reluctant starter for LB too. We also have a couple of young CBs out injured but, again, take a look at the positions that most of the players above played in - the engine room or up top.
For both the short and long term LB has to begin to balance the side. And the absence of Watson and Pratley gives him the chance to start to do that. I hope that he doesn't waste it by not playing the likes of Morgan or by signing yet another player or two with question marks about whether they retain any pace or ability. Or, for that matter, desire.

Sorba Thomas will surely play against Millwall and be in the shop window.
If he plays really well against a championship club then the owner will receive what he wanted(maybe not Cafc) if Thomas make no impression he may well come back to Cafc and say we will accept your original offer.
Everyone we have in first team squad with flair must stay but start often If we cant stop leaking goals we will lose more matches than win! It's in defence that wins come from.

"He plays for his team and we have to respect that, but I think I can respectfully say that I like him as a player – I like a lot of players! He is a young lad who has got some talent.”
Is this the start of the return of Old Bowyer. He's used the word respect twice and like once.
I have not posted much recently as I’ve been really busy with CACT doing covid testing.
Thanks for all the mentions, you’re nice people.
We must remain supportive of Bowyer, don’t let the lows get too low. His decisions have been strange but hopefully we get clear answers soon. It’s poor right now, has been for 6 weeks, but he’s our manager, and the right manager for the job too.
We desperately miss Inniss, Famewo, Doughty, and Shinnie. Late February can’t come soon enough.
We’ll be happy with the business this month. You don’t need to worry about that. Two new players in the squad for Friday, Schwartz should make the bench.
I can’t say much more, but I think even Golfie might be a little pleased, even if it’s after he’s seen them play.
Hi Sage
Other than Ronnie, is the other signing someone playing in either league 1 or Championship, or an unknown youngster from a Premier team please.
Premier League loan
So the other one, who we were told has been playing regularly and so oven ready, has been playing U23 football? Let’s hope he’s not another Levitt.
Or he's been recalled to be sent on loan to us.
So the Arsenal kid at Donny Rovers then?
Myles Peart-Harris, a midfielder with six goals from Chelsea U23 is the other one it could be
I'll tell you what, the kids of today have got some quality names.
Peart-Harris .......... now that's every fella's fantasy to have a girlfriend with one.

I always took Schwartz to be the latter yet cant see where Liam Miller has played any development games this season
Edit: J Block has rightly pointed out that Miller has definitely played Development Games this season as per the article
