What we need: Retain all current players. Sign a starting CB, starting striker and a back up LB.
What I think will happen: Lose Leaburn and Rak-Sakyi. Bring in a loanee CB and loanee striker from Prem teams, so a net loss in the squad.
I don't think either of them will go - JRS might do if someone else wants him but he's not really at that Gallagher level where he's going to be in demand midseason IMO.
Leaburn probably would but his time out injured might mean we hold onto him until the end of the season.
I think JFC may go and maybe DJ if anyone will have him. But otherwise we can't really afford to lose anyone
Probably TOTALLY wide of the mark but I'm fervently hoping that Dobbo isn't a player that maybe Championship clubs are salivating over at present.
IMO, he's not been his usual 100% self in the past couple of games & hence, my fertile imagination is now working overtime.
Hopefully though, his slight dip in form is due to the number of important matches he's been involved in of late and this week will, hopefully, enable him to recharge his batteries in readiness for Port Vale.
However, should TS have received enquiries & even talked potential transfer fees with A N Other club, George would presumably be aware of this interest & as such, be unsettled.
He is, after all, one of our most coveted players....
And I can't believe our owner would look a gift horse in the mouth should the opportunity arise to swell his coffers.
I don't think he'd be looking to move himself but money talks I guess. More than once he has said he loves it at the club. There was talk of a new contract too so I hope he stays. He's the type of player you build a team around.
So a CB, LB, Striker and Keeper (if Wooly will be out for any period). Jan minimum. That is 3-4 players. All were painfully obvious before the season started too. Think we have 3 loan spots left, maybe we will use them all.
To be fair we then signed Thomas giving us 4 senior centre backs. Under the squad cap and playing a back 4 having 5 would be a waste of wages and a spot.
We shouldn’t need 3 senior keepers either. I wouldn’t expect that even if we had a billionaire owner splashing the cash.
Agree on a striker and LB of course.
Lavelle was fairly obviously not good enough last season, Innis is massively injury prone (we have been lucky this season), and Thomas had barely played for 1-2 years and was a cheap punt. We definitely needed another CB in the summer and I said it at the time. Keeper, we should have moved on McG and got a capable understudy but I note what @Addick Addict says above
I agree it’s an area we could do with improving but I’m saying why it wasn’t going to happen in the summer.
I’ve never Lavelle highly, I wouldn’t have kept Inniss and I was hoping we would sign better than Thomas, but the aim was always going to be to have four CBs. Lavelle wasn’t realistically going to be moved on and neither was Inniss once his contract extension was activated. Thomas then became our 4th CB.
We might see one come in during January because of the injuries, but it’s very unlikely it would have happened had they all stayed fit.
If we were a normal club that did normal rational things, we would make dobbo captain and give him a deal that stops him from being tempted away - we’d also sign a striker or 2. Let’s see what TS does - this window is an opportunity for him to quieten a lot of ‘noise’ - alternatively the noise could escalate

If we were a normal club you say. I think I've spotted the problem.
Today I learnt that Nathan Harness was on loan at Bromley!! - Looks like we're considering recalling him and Maynard-Brewer, what with the injury to Wollacott.
Keeper can be covered by emergency loans if need be.
Left back is a must, as is a striker seeing as we wanted one in the Summer and didn't fill that gap. If Egbo is out for the season, another full back is needed IMO, even if a loan til the end of the season, as a squad option, and you get whoever is best left or right and play Sessegnon on the opposite side.
I'd also look to move one or two on if possible, especially if we have no interest in playing them (JFC for example)

We need to start getting a list of Championship players that aren't getting many minutes. Especially in that LB/CB role.
Striker you do need to take a bit of time to get the right person, otherwise we're stuck with a Stockley again.
Would require money, which TS doesn't have.

What is Thomas Sandgaard's Net Worth?
The current estimated net worth of Zynex Inc's President, Thomas Sandgaard, is estimated to be about $43.58M. Thomas Sandgaard owns about 12,682,000 units of Zynex Inc common stock. In the last 3 years at Zynex Inc, Thomas Sandgaard has sold an estimated value of $40.05M worth.
Whilst Dobson is a player that we here can all see the inherent value in, the fact remains that he is probably still a little one-dimensional for most clubs in the lower / middle of the Championship. Don't get me wrong - I love him and I think he is a great, hard-working footballer (easily my favourite within this squad), but I think he might struggle making any significant step up. For the size of the club and the adoration he has here, I feel that it would need to be a really good offer to come in to either make him want to go or just too much for us, financially, to refuse. I don't feel his head has been turned, but he has played an awful lot of football for us and remains very pivotal to our success. I sincerely hope he doesn't end up going anywhere.
Regarding Stockton, I still think he could do a job for us and his downturn in form should not be too much of a concern. It was clear that the lad was angling for a move in August and the club were playing hardball over his value - this has ended up with him probably leaving on a free in the summer, rather than for the fee they were looking for. He remains one of the better L1 strikers I have seen in terms of hold-up play and movement, and the amount of goals he scored last season suggests it was not entirely fluke. I remain a fan of his from our perspective, and I think he would do the current Stockley role better than anyone else in the squad. I doubt he'll ever get close to the goals he got last term, but I think 10+ is still in his locker. Remains good enough for us in L1, but not any higher.
We were short a striker, even with Washington imo. Defense remains too shaky to have a sustained pop at anything above playoff edges. I trust us to find the players, but I don't trust TS to spend anything to get what we need. I hope this doesn't become too much of a sore point for Garner or any other semi-decent/young'un players who don't want to stick around in L1 mediocrity much longer.
Or he could have just reverted back to the mean of his entire career. I didn’t think he was worth the risk, for money, over the summer, and I certainly don’t think he is now.
Id much prefer us to go for someone like Scully on loan as it sounds like he has not settled at Wigan. But if we are not going back to 4-3-3, and sticking with 4-4-2, then we probably need someone with a bit more physicality.

Based purely on his company share trading, so you're wrong
We've done this quote before. It's what is technically known as absolute bollocks. Zynex stock is currently $13.50. So, IF the amount of stock he holds is quoted correctly, that's $171mn alone.
Edited to add: It's even more of a load of crap than a first reading would indicate. Sandgaard holds nearly 15mn shares in Zynex.
I like to stick to the facts. The spending has slowed. Whether it now stops, time will tell.
Scaremongering is shite...
It stopped in the summer...
I assume, because it never happened, it could of course be complete fallacy, but if the Scully rumours *were* true that we *were* in for him or he was our top target - then we would have been paying a fee for him, no?

I wonder what his property portfolio is. Or his shareholdings in other stocks or businesses. Or his other assets. I'd imagine someone that rich isn't going to have even 50% of his true net worth holed up in one spot?

Maybe although I think I am right in saying Zynex made him rich? So assuming he was of very average wealth beforehand AND if the article about selling $40M is right then if £20M went on us that leaves about $18M, (so £16M) "other". He will have spent some on a nice house and car no doubt plus quite a bit on his musical hobby so there would not be that much left to invest into other sectors.
Of course most people who create and float a business will have made a huge amount on the IPO and I don't have any idea what free float there was at that point / what he took out and whether that is included in the $40M (assuming that number is even correct).

Those numbers in the post I replied to aren't correct. He's worth much more than that.
God, I have no idea why you are all speculating on who we are likely to bring in.
The answer is nobody. Certainly wont be spending any money & seeing as contracts usually run out in the summer there wont be any freebies lurking around (which was our modus operandi in the summer)

2 loans is my guess. Bonne & a left back.
Didn't we pick up the likes of Williams on a free in Jan as Palace paid up his contract. There will be freebies and good loan players to have and it is fun to speculate even if it all turns out to be doom.
