     I think this window is another let dow  over all because we now have too many mid field players of a similar type.
    At least none of them are David Davis or Matt Smith.... (the other one)
    Remember with that Matt Smith a very respected poster spent an age repeating that he was so good that Pepe thought he was the new xavi and Wales only capped him to stop England having him. Because he believed what the "chairman" was spouting.

    Overall I’m happy. This is the start of rebuilding. I’d rather we got the players we actually want in the summer, than force through buys for players we don’t really want now.
    Maddison out feels right and despite being a top bloke, I’m not sure JW is a big loss.

    Gives the likes of Morgan and Shinnie the chance to nail down those spots and more clarity in the squad. 
    Sorry, where is the start of rebuilding, I must have missed that.

    If true we bid decent amounts for Randall and Kirk, we need to start getting these deals over the line.
    I think many of us wanted to sign Randall as he would be one to keep. He is out of contract in the summer and we may get him then and have saved ourselves £650k. Shocked it has not gone through in all honesty, and I think SG will be as well.
    On a free he’ll have more suitors because Clubs will be more willing to take a gamble. No way he’ll be joining us then. If we wanted him we should have pushed the boat out.
    Is he better than Doughty who had Championship and league 1 experience? There will be a max we are prepared to pay and £1m sounds expensive. 
    Really frustrating,

    Deadline day is weird. In our squad right now he have two players for every position. We have 8 defenders, 8 midfielders and 4 strikers, plus some decent youth prospects. The only place we're a bit short is on the wing, where we could do with some cover for Millar. That's all it would be though, cover. We've moved on some fringe players, lost a good player to a Championship club, though one who doesn't play much, and brought in some seriously good first team players. Despite that though, if more players go out than go in on deadline day it's seen as a disaster. I think people need to get away from the Sky Sports induced mentality that the deadline day signings are the ones that matter. If you said we'd get Schwartz, Millar, Stockley and Smith in in this window I think most of us would have taken that as a very good window. Hopefully we'll manage a winger now but if not we're still looking a hell of a lot better than we were going into this window.
    The fact we've been desperately scrabbling about for a winger all day suggests that the management team aren't happy with the way the squad looks, so we shouldn't be happy either

    Let's calm down a bit, deadline day has been a bit chuff, but the window hasn't been the worst.

    Thats bollocks, he loves it, his favourite bit is when we go one nil down.

    Gotta say I think we have given up on promotion for this year ! Underwhelming. 
  • What about Dennon Lewis @ Wealdstone?

    Met him about 5 years ago in Magaluf. He was getting paid to be with a group of lads on a stag party.

  • Still better than this time last year. Whether someone makes it in in the next 4 mins or not we’ve had a clear out and got some great players in this window.

    Think it's about 10 mins after that, when he gets to write something about us never coming back from 1-0 down.

    I wont be watching. Live game on Sky or Married at First Sight on E4. Much more entertaining. 
    Completely off topic but I was asked to go on the new UK version which comes out in summer 
  • 10:55 and not one serious name has been mentioned, maybe the days of ITK are over or no one has ever heard of this new signing.

    Clearing out for the rebuild then.
    Bogle, Williams and Maddison out
    Stockley, Smith, Miller and Schwartz in. 


  • Bowyer, Gallen and would of been new signing Lookman at 11.01 after the fax machine goes on the blink...

    Who that we released today was you expecting to play tomorrow night and lead us to victory?
    Expecting no one, hoping Williams.

    Or there isn't anyone and the CL admin have just had a word to keep us refreshing for that sweet ad revenue $$$

    How do we rebuild under the cap? Everyone seems so sure of it, whilst also using the cap as our excuse for lack of quality this year.

    3 of those signings are loans, so short term fixes

    Terrible window for us IMO. 2 potential game changers gone in Williams and Maddison. Bowyer quotes George Graham a lot but I was never impressed with his style of play. Wasn't he the architect of the '1-0 to the Arsenal' teams? You can stick 11 robots out there but where is the creativity coming from. 

    Just saying it again... we are fairly big net sellers under TS, so far. Just the facts of the matter.
    Ins:
    Conor Washington (Undisc)
    Alex Gilbey (Undisc)
    Ben Watson Free
    Marcus Maddison Free
    Chris Gunter Free
    Adam Matthews Free
    Ryan Inniss (Undisc)
    Omar Bogle Free

    Outs:
    Macauley Bonne (£2m)
    Alfie Doughty (£650k plus add ons)
    Dillon Phillips (Undisc allegedly £500k)
    Jonny Williams (£200k)
    Omar Bogle (No Fee allegedly)
    Marcus Maddison (Loan)

    Presumably he'd injured his other leg?
