    Not strictly January but Cawley and Edmund Brack says we have options on Lucas Ness and Deji Elerewe and that we're likely to trigger both

    Sensible moves , assuming we get Edmonds-Green across the line I'd be looking to get Deji a loan. 

  • Doesn't RC only have the opportunity & time to reach out to his contacts at the club to verify / seek a comment? Not sure how much more digging can be done when we are discussing L1 players.
    I greatly appreciate RC especially knowing that "shoestring" is an exaggeration of the resources he and the SLP have at their disposal. I just wish he'd been a bit more sceptical in his reporting of "Dobbo to Hungary". Ideally, not running it without evidence of at least which club was showing "interest". But this time of year is crazy for reporters like him, and I suppose its unfair to expect him to have a detailed knowledge of how f***ed up Hungarian league football is, and why. 

  • I agree, I’m really pleased we’ve started the rebuild now, getting quality in, our seasons over, but these new players will have something to prove. Ipswich took their 21/22 form in that latter half of that season into 22/23 and hit the ground running. Hopefully we do can do the same. 
    No it's not, we need to stay up first.

    Our season is not over.
    We can still get relegated, and we can still get enough points to make the play offs.
    Tomorrow is one single game worth three points.
    never!

    Checked Wikipedia and a bit surprised to see Roderick Duchatelet still owns Ujpest and Nobby Vinegar (remember him?) returned as manager.

    Can’t see Dobson going there but imagine he goes to play for a club owned by Roland’s son…

    His job is to get people clicking on his links. He did that. Think we all (and not a dig at you Prague) under appreciate how good he is as a local reporter. He doesn't just re-hash things into clickbait, he seems to share things where he can and he interacts with the fans. The Dobbo to Hungary story was guaranteed clicks. I know it didn't have much detail but it's a worthwhile link. You might know how messed up Hungarian football is but that doesn't mean Dobbo does. Players aren't well known for taking in the bigger picture, just look at the Saudi situation.

    It's not for want of trying to get shot of it. He had a local buyer and the whole thing fell apart in acrimony at the last minute. Did you take a look at the league table? All going according to the Duchatelet template....

    Not achieving much on the pitch and having trouble selling both sound so very  familiar.

    Rich Cawley needs hits on his website.
    Not enough hits and he's out of a job.

    He's of course always going to pitch his stories for maximum curiosity and interest, leaving something still to be said for a future article.

    Cawley also says Scott and Appleton went to Connor Coventry's parent's house the night of the fans' forum. That feels like a proper Curbs move
    did they watch a video?

    Were they wearing hooped jumpers, masks and a couple of bags with swag written on them?

    Ladapo would be a loan, if it happens
    Would prefer to a 3yr deal or whatever tbh given his age.

    Yeah, his dad went straight on the target list as soon as he left hospital with his "new" knee. Luckily enough, Connor was at home and he signed instead...

    I know we're joking but Cawley also said that MA didn't like the cup of tea CC's mum made him which did make me laugh

    Quite often the club is left unnamed as was the case with Leaburn and an unnamed Bundesliga club in the summer. I don't think Rich would have written an article unless there was genuine information there. Whilst I don't expect Dobson to go to Hungary it's really not out the question for a club like Ferencvaros to be interested, they've signed premier league players in the past. Dobson, like most in the country, probably isn't aware of the political issues in Hungarian football. It would be a chance to play football in a beautiful city, on higher wages and play in a European competition.
  • This is beginning to feel like another new era. 
    *error

  • Looks like he's gone to Vale instead according to Wiki
  • I don’t see the point of a loan. No matter what run we go on, we are not catching play offs. Now is the time to build for next season, so any new loans is against that plan of action.  
    I think putting relegation beyond any reasonable doubt makes sense especially as buying players in January is typically more expensive. If we loan him and he does well we may try to sign him permanently in the summer, if he doesn’t we can go after other targets.

    A loan might be preferable to Ladapo. Gives him a chance to suss out if we're going to be serious about mounting a promotion challenge next season.
