Sorry, where is the start of rebuilding, I must have missed that.Valley11 said: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.
Bogle, Williams and Maddison out
Stockley, Smith, Miller and Schwartz in.0 -
Erm ..... we're cutting it fine.

Yes, as I say, the rebuild begins in earnest in the summer. Hopefully without a wage cap and with Thomas providing the funds.killerandflash said:
3 of those signings are loans, so short term fixesValley11 said:

And the time to plan it properly.1 -
Just need Cawley to confirm thatMattF said:Just think, 11pm is only the deadline to fill one of those deal sheets, this could carry on till 1am1 -
Wow Really!AFKABartram said:Lol, 1,200+ currently on here at 11pm waiting to underwhelmed:-)
I'm struggling I've gotta be up at 5.30 but managed to get to 11pm0 -
No signings?

Let's see if we got any paperwork in, if the notice is there we have another couple of hours to finalise the deal.0

Depends on how much negative spin you want to put on it I suppose. As I said, we could do with a winger to cover Millar if he suffers an injury or loss of form, but given the way we've conducted our business so far this window I think if it was an essential signing we would have done it by now. Obviously they're trying to get someone in and they've been knocked back by a lot of teams. If we don't get someone it will be disappointing, but we won't have a gaping hole in our squad and will have still had a good window. That's my point. It'll never be perfect but we're stronger than before the window opened, so I think some having meltdowns about how deadline day hasn't been their Christmas is a bit silly.sam3110 said:
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 eitherGarrymanilow said: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.

Just saying it again... we are fairly big net sellers under TS, so far. Just the facts of the matter.
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)
And KAG sell on.
Probs £7M in or thereabouts with £500K or thereabouts spent.3 -
Still be better than Maddison :-)Exiled_Addick said:Cafc43v3r said:

My original comment was just anticipating the meltdown when Millar goes off injured & Gunter is pushed forward into a RW position.Cafc43v3r said:

It’s certainly not meltdown worthy but we do have a gaping hole in our squad. We have 0 wide players apart from Millar, he now needs to go the entire season without rotation, unless we’re going to reinvent him as a 10.Garrymanilow said:
