We had to sign 2 players by Friday, otherwise i would genuinely been concerned, about what on earth was going on.
The question now is , will there be any more incoming / outgoing through the window?
How many other clubs have signed 2 by now in the window? January should be a patch up job anyway. Real business in the summer
Is that an echo I hear from January last year.
Yes but it's only because we keep screwing up the summer windows.
January is never meant to be the time to overhaul your squad - it's expensive, not to mention disruptive and can do more harm than good if you have a complete clear out. Two or three more would be excellent but we shouldn't expect more than that.
I remember Andy Cole moving to Man U in Jan. That didnt turn out too bad did it.
You mean the move we invented with no evidence to back that invention up.
Kentonline and SLP both reported it as a possibility
Seriously Kip, I think Stockley's wage would have been a problem plus I don't think Stockley would take the drop into the fourth tier as a good move, even though new finance has landed at the Gills door. I think it was wishful thinking from a lot of parties but I'm always happy to be proved wrong, stunned if it happened, but wrong all the same.
I can only see it being on loan if it does happen mate.

That was in 1995. I was 8, about to turn 9. I turn 37 next month.
Good signings happen in January, but it's almost impossible to overhaul a squad in January, particularly at our level.

BWP was a January deal wasn't he? You're right though it's hard to overhaul in January.
Forest are hoping to get rid of Taylor and 83% of Forest fans want him gone....that worked out well then! They are hoping to sell him! Why he cost fuck all didn't he?
Forest got promoted with him in the squad, Taylor probably got at least a top championship wage for the last eighteen months. I think both parties would say it's worked out quite nicely whereas as we would declare it did nothing for us at all.

So we should want a fee for Leaburn or Dobson then?

The point I was trying to make, he went there on a free, after he walked out on us,. Yes he picked up a good wage, but, and at this point I have to say my wife's family are massive Forest fans and regularly attend, he didn't set them on fire, didn't start regularly and this season hasn't played as not selected in their 25 man squad. They want him off their books, surely let him go on a free, he's not played for months. Leaburn and Dobson are regular in our team, and of course we should demand a fee, but we better not be selling them in the first place!
Who’s left to be moved on now perhaps. Stockley. Mansfield, maybe Kirk
Thomas or Lavelle could probably go given we have Innis, Ness, O'Connell, Mitchell and whichever of Thomas or Lavelle stayed.
Thomas was only signed on a contract till the end of the season I think, not sure when Lavelle’s contract is up. If it’s the end of next year, then Thomas maybe more likely to go
In terms of players signed in January and making an impact , didn't Birmingham sign Christophe Dugarry in the January window and he kept them up?
Evra and Vidic both went to United in January. Won quite a bit. Liverpool signed VVD, Courtenio and Sauarez in Jan. De Foe went to Spurs, twice, Pompey and Sunderland and had an impact. Dempsey to Fulham. Arshavin to Arsenal, Arteta to Everton. There are loads of good ones.
Lazy Journalism .. Leaburn like Dobson will both still be in a Charlton shirt come feb 1st
Just add all players have a price even the best players in the world .. silly offers you have to accept anything over 1 mill for either will be silly money

Anything over £1million would be silly money? If anyone gets Leaburn for £1million you may as well start the protesting now. He’s already shown twice the promise of Burstow who went for more than that.

Who is Mansfield?
Everyone should know that by now 😉 Cuddles must have called him that a thousand times since his deadline move in the summer to Mansfield fell through…..it’s DJ.

Agree £1m+ would be silly money, Leaburn is worth more. You only need to compare his goalscoring and all round game to Burstow to see that. No one is expecting £10m but a young English goalscorer with technical ability, height and decent pace is going to attract a lot of interest.

Not good enough for big school.
They want him off their books, surely let him go on a free, he's not played for months.

…..I probably wouldn’t be surprised.
Who knows, maybe it's trying to sort out an option for a permanent move at the end.
