I started the year thinking that we had turned a corner & that I could trust what people (aka Andy Scott) said.
I'm afraid to say that another transfer window is passing us by and that everyone in charge at CAFC lies with gay abandon. To this end Andy Scott is no different to Gallen/Sandgaard or Southall.
All talk and no action.
Gah.............I'm done !
I stopped expecting new faces at the club when Airman said we will only be bringing in loans and free agents. It was obvious the new lot sniffing around have no money.
Sorry, but why would someone sniffing around provide money for transfers?
If I was looking to buy my neighbours house, I wouldn’t pay his mortgage whilst the sale was going through. Apologies for the house buying analogy, but in my defence I was general manager of a building society back in the day.
We have a decent base at the moment and I don’t want to add players like Purrington to the squad. We have to be aiming higher. More Sess type signings less Purr pls Charlton
I completely agree that Sess is miles better and I don't want Purrington back either. But he would certainly do a job in League 1.

Well it’d be daft to doubt Airmans obvious good information but that doesn’t necessarily mean any new owner has no money. We know Sandgaard isn’t looking to spend but he’s the owner. Would we really expect new people to spend money on something they don’t actually and might never own ? Of course not. You’re probably right but as has been said a million times. So many things don’t add up.
No. Most business is not done late by an organised club, with clearly identified targets, a budget to work with and a strategy
We've sadly had none of this since 2018.
We've also not had our own, proper left back since May!
I can't remember the last time we owned a proper, really good left back. Page was good but always injured. Possibly as far back as Wiggins, although I have probably forgotten someone.
Before we signed Purrington in 18/19 we were losing/not winning games because we didn't have a left back. Once we signed him we had a much more balanced back four. He got a reputation as a solid 7/10 every game he played.
You don't need a world beating 1-11 to do well. You need an average of about 7.5 in every position with some 9s, hopefully a 10, and no one under a 6. A Purrington is exactly what we need. Unless we can find the mext Ashley Cole.

That was my point, however a lot of people seem disappointed we have not signed more players

We're in League One. You need only to look at the high profile transfer sagas at Europe's biggest clubs to know this isn't true. But also, we're not that. We're relying on frees (few in January) and loans, which means we're at the mercy of other clubs.
Yes, it would be great if all of our business was done by the first week of January. But that's completely unrealistic. We've moved two fringe players on and brought in two players who improve the squad. This is a good window so far. We need more, obviously namely a LB, but when you're relying on other clubs to hand you players, you cannot be demanding about timelines.

No actual transfer rumours
Just 3 pages of arguing over what level of football Purrington should be playing at.
Exactly this.
The author also does a tidy side-line as a Nigerian lottery winning Prince.
Championship promotion-chasers Sheffield United have been placed under a transfer embargo by the English Football League.
The move relates to a breach of rule 52.2.3, which concerns the default of payments to another club.
The EFL has not specified which club or player the matter relates to.
However, the move means the Blades cannot register a player "without the written prior consent of the league" until the overdue payment is made.

And obviously Dane Scarlett on loan from Spurs to Pompey
Find it really hard to believe Plymouth have two players on 900k a year

Interesting link , was quite impressive for Donny a couple of years back.
