I've got zero info, and I don't normally bother with random social media rumours, but that one earlier that Arter had failed a medical just sounded unusually plausible to me.
Personally I reckon he’ll be up for it. 31 it won’t be his legs. Desire you can never judge but he had no connection to Forest. Bournemouth made his career, Fulham he was playing for his brother in law who in his early days, made him stay in football after being released by us.
I honestly can’t believe people are getting upset because we haven’t signed 12 players in the past 24 hours because Adkins said “watch this space”!
No one is getting upset! Jesus the wild extremes of CL. You are allowed to comment, that’s rather the point. Adkins said it’ll be an interesting three days. We’re one and a half into that and nothing’s happened. It’s quiet. That’s all anyone has said. No one is ‘wetting the bed’
Rotten liar . He should have said it will be an interesting last day, well a last few hours.
If you could go a few hours without making an arse of yourself that really would be interesting. Not holding my breath though.
I see that Ipswich have signed their second goalkeeper of the window, after the first one they spent a load of money on flopped and has been discarded already.
I love this thread though it will be thoroughly spoiled if something does happen tomorrow.
Any chance of the bigwigs on here setting up an actual signings thread so we can preserve this one for inane rumour-mongering (which I really do like)?

I was being sarcastic ! Nothing more Seems there is a group on here that take turns to make some arse ended comment even when the statement is exactly what so many do and get , guess what, no comment. But you couldn't wait to seize the moment. 🥸🥸
It's a fair point about Pearce but playing style doesn't necessarily transfer to coaching.
George Graham the manager would never have picked George Graham the player, for example.
John Beck is one of the FAs lead coaches of the UEFA coaching badges and I haven't seen a team play like his in over 25 years.
Charlton v Cambridge at Upton park is still one of the strangest games of football I have witnessed in my life for tactics.
When Cambridge kicked off, they went for touch. Young Dion Dublin was the small man up front at 6ft 2'' and senior George Reilly was 6ft 5" alongside. John Beck got two Promotions for Cambridge and nearly took them all the way to the newly formed Elitist League called the Premier.
Didn't realized he was teaching Uefa B coaching since 2013. That would have been an interesting Job interview when they asked what is your Philosophy on how the game should be played ?
I saw us play them at Cambridge. In each corner of the stadium there was a giant X.
Every ball was launched like a rocket down the Chanel's towards the X and crosses bombarded our penalty area. Strange way of playing but effective.
Sorbate Thomas, remember him ? Boreham Wood. They wanted 2k or so. What ever it was we offered less. Eventually Huddersfield paid that in January. This season 4 assists and a goal in 5 Championship games this season.
Looks like a good player on the highlights
We were interested. The moment a Championship club came in we didn’t have a chance.
At the time we had a wage cap and got in Liam Miller who done very well for us in the short time he was here.
A shame we didn’t get him, but we didn’t stand a chance as soon as Huddersfield were serious.
I'm guessing we'll sign Eaves as a back up to Stockley. He did well for the Gills so maybe that would work out for us.
Is Tom Eaves coming in a genuine rumour?
I thought someone here just said “we could do worse than signing Eaves…”, not sure if it’s actually been rumoured anywhere that we are actually considering it.
If we could get Tucker and Dempsey and another striker, It won’t be a bad transfer market after all.!
Only one more space on registration and that's without Arter. I'm not sure the solution to that - I'd imagine Schwartz would be the first to get the chop, possibly Pearce stepping aside if Tucker came in? If he's a future coach at the club I'm sure he wouldn't mind and would still play every cup game if he wanted to (I think it's seperate registration)? The alternative is to cancel the CBT contract as he seems to be a wasted space but it would be incredibly harsh to ruin his chance at a new club ( though as a free agent he could sign elsewhere ).

After the signing of Lee we had 4 places left, including JFC and Schwartz. Not including our Dempsey.
Re new signings we could technically still loan 2 under 21s and a keeper and it ould still be 4 places left. Although I seriously doubt we will sign 7 in the next 28 hours.

No, there is three and that includes JFC who we could potentially leave out anyway.

Morgan doesn't count, but Davison does despite them being the same age. So that's 3, I can't remember why it was 4 but it's certainly not 1 or 2.
It would be two if we include Dempsey.
I’m sure our Dempsey will be left out if needed.
I agree, just saying we have a minimum of two spots left for signings. That includes Dempsey and JFC, who could easily be left out. Plus we could easily sign a youngster on loan who doesn't count anyway (U21). We're not going to run out of squad spaces that's for sure, that's not going to be a barrier from signing players tomorrow.
We have 21 players over 21 in our squad. which includes Macgillivray and Morgan (unsure why the latter is being considered as under 21), which means we can only add either 2 or 3 players over 21. Of course this could change if Adkins decides not to include Schwartz or Forster-Caskey in the squad. As regards Davison he is in the 21 and has already played therefore once again unsure if he can be subsequently omitted.
Got to say, Vennings and Dempsey are 20 and 21. If they were close to being good enough for first team football in league one they would have got more minutes in the league. I'd be pleasantly surprised, but I can't see these two making it with us.

Because he wasn't 21 on 1st January 2000. Only Dempsey and Davison count who are 21, Morgan and Ghandour don't count.
Dempsey hasn't been included in our five league matches so presumably isn't regarded as a squad member.
It's not about who has or hasn't played so far. We will have to submit a 22 man squad tomorrow/wednesday which will take us to January. If Dempsey is in that list, he can play, if he's not, then he can't.
Sorbate Thomas, remember him ? Boreham Wood. They wanted 2k or so. What ever it was we offered less. Eventually Huddersfield paid that in January. This season 4 assists and a goal in 5 Championship games this season.

Which means in half an hour, he will be announced

It doesn't include Dempsey but does include Schwartz and JFC.
So we have a minimum of 2, 3 if you don't include Dempsey.
