Loans or permanent deals in January?

If we are seriously putting a bid in for Moore that gets turned down why not put a bid in for someone we can afford but young enough & not here for his early retirement. Why not generate some funds, Taylor, Forde & Newell any or all of them can go.

Casper64Frank if we are going down the loan route Bogle not a bad shout.

Yeah, let's get rid of the majority of our wingers and replace them with a centre forward. That's genius. I wonder why nobody else has thought of that?

But if those three are as useless as you seem to think they are, what makes you think anyone would take them off our hands?

Also, just to be clear, do you not rate Taylor at the moment? It's just you've said he's both rubbish and our best winger at different times this season, it's really hard to keep up with.

To be fair the form of many of our players is very erratic.
Not sure I'd get rid of players just because of a dip in form though

Taylor is a sellable asset, we can better. Like Forde he's not a winger. Newell gone backwards this season. I wouldn't miss any of those 3. Get Bailey-King back & sign another winger. It's about generating funds.

Wigan supporters in pub on Sat told us Ipswich have accepted a Wigan bid for Moore. Surprised we'd not heard about it. We need to be sweet -. talking David Hirst about his lad.

Yeah lets sign a kid that's played 2 games and scored no goals in his professional career.

There's no opportunity of this being a realistic long term signing and allowing us to work towards building a squad of our own players capable of challenging in league 1, rather than acting as a development squad for other clubs players.

[flourbasher]

Good players attract other good players.
That probably why D Ball / Proctor signed assuming the cash was good enough. One signs and the other one thinks there's some quality there and that's good for my career
So if we did sign someone like George Hirst then another Striker might just choose us - assuming the cash was ok
He's being chased by a number of clubs so he's clearly got ability
He plays for England U20 who are the World Cup holders at that level so he's clearly got ability
I think he'd be virtually unstoppable by Div 1 defenders which would be entertaining, exciting and good for RUFC.

2 questions, one that I've asked you several times before but you've never given a proper answer, maybe this time you will.

1. How do you know Bailey-King is better than the wingers we've got based on seeing him play for about 10 minutes? ('I can just tell' and 'He's got to be' aren't answers)

2. Which other winger, who's better than what we've already got, we could afford and would also be willing to play in league one would you sign then?

You seem to have a very simplistic view of football which is just 'get rid of everyone and sign some better players'. Do you honestly think it's that easy? Despite your claims that you 'know your stuff' you don't seem to have much of an understanding of how football works.

You forgot Dominic Ball Mazzy-street another one he keeps banging on about.
gwru goes on potential, there's a player in there y'know.
