For all those saying that we should be in for Ricky Jade Jones, currently being linked with Cardiff and Freiburg…
Stockport fans were being laughed at on twitter for wanting to sign Leaburn…the thought of P’Boro selling Jones to Charlton is just as laughable
From what I've seen of RJJ, I wouldn't want him anyway. Posh fans were shocked when he had championship interest. I'm told he's a pace merchant with limited footballing ability and each time I've seen him I've agreed.

So a championship struggler is interested in a league1 player. Our board have said we are interested in players who can play at a championship level or be ready to step up, and there was a fair bit of gloating about the signings of Coventry, Docherty, Gillesphey, Berry, etc, all of which signed from the level above btw, and allegedly, we fended championship interest off for. Is it that farfetched that I thought we could be in for a player in league1 who's value is less than a million and is paid less than Gassan (as far as information online provides)
Freiburg is a bit random, but it's good to know that I've got the same eye for a player as a team that have spent over two decades in the Bundesliga for, fair play to me.

Agree. He is total dogshit and Posh fans think the same.
Sonny Bradley has signed for Wycombe. Still doesn’t rule out a move for Jones as Swansea are sniffing around their other centre back
Instead of us worrying about losing Jones we should be disappointed that Charlton have not signed Bradley as his partner. Every window we need to come out stronger but it would appear all we’re interested in is having a squad that’s adequate and hope it works out. This window should be about bringing in quality not being forced to replace it. We’re going nowhere fast.

We play a back 3. Jones plays in the middle of it, Bradley would also have to play in the middle of it. Not what we need for the first eleven
I know people lose their heads in January, but we’re going nowhere because we didn’t sign a 33 year old centre back (that has barely played for 6 months) on loan and it’s January the 7th could be a new record

If we’d signed him you’d get people saying oh another Luton reject and he’s not fit because he’s hardly played. But because we didn’t sign him we’re going nowhere

I don't think there was that feeling in the summer. In fact, I think most people were positive about the ex-Luton players. It is only because most of them have been disappointingly poor that you would get that response. Also, I think you are missing SHG point in what I thought was a reasoned post/opinion, it isn't specifically Bradley, more the fact we are mostly talking about losing our best players rather than looking to strengthen.
There has definitely been an exercise in expectation management for this window from within the club. Talk of a bloated squad and player happiness reads as budget to me. There has been nothing said about making a push for the play-offs or addressing the issues with the balance of the squad, just the size.
Actions speak louder than words and, by the end of January, we will understand the true ambitions of our SMT and owners. Maybe then it will be OK to "lose our heads".

That’s a massive assumption that we aren’t looking to strengthen based on fan sentiment rather than anything concrete.
The expectation management might be as much about keeping a lid on potential transfer fees paid as it is managing the fanbase.
I agree, let’s see wait until the end of January to see.

It isn't an assumption, it is what NJ said, "one, maybe two" additions and reducing the size of the squad. It could all be smoke and mirrors to reduce fees, but I suspect selling clubs aren't going to be looking at our pre/post match press conferences and going Charlton don't have much to spend.

Just don’t see why people are writing our season off and judging our window when we haven’t signed anyone or sold anyone and it’s the 7th January
