January Transfers & Rumours

[Old_pie]

It was documented somewhere that the increased attendances merely meant that the Brothers did not have to put as much in to balance the books. On a week to week basis the club is still far from sustainable it appears. Still losing millions a year.

Sustainable means that the owners can SUSTAIN the amount of money they need to put in. It does not mean and was never intended to mean the club was Profitable. Previous owners could not Sustain the amount of money require to be put in. The Bros are saying that the amount they need to put in this year is less than they budgeted because of the increased attendances.

As I keep saying, and falling on deaf ears, the two owners are paying about £3m/year for a very expensive season ticket, but it is their hobby. Just because £3m sounds a lot to you (and most of us) it is not a lot for those that are rich.

Stop panicking.

I’m surprised Notts didn’t try to bring Dallas in for the season, he’s ended up at Oldham on loan.

It’s not strikers we need, it’s defenders who can defend and a goalkeeper who can concentrate.

Add 24 hours to that 78.
Window doesn’t close until 23:00 on the 1st February

The week just got longer 😞

Anybody else get the feeling we'ver got in all we're getting, a keeper, defender and a defencive midfielder?

I certainly think we need a striker as we have no real cover for Macca. Sick note Morias isn't it that's for sure. What a strange buy that was!

Nothing against Scott, but should we be relying on a player who by the time he comes back would have played very little football in 12 months?
My desire for a striker is not to replace or be an understudy to Macca but rather someone who can partner him. Didzy was far from his best at the weekend - the same for a few others - but no quality replacements on the bench to change it up.

But Didzy doesn’t partner Macca, he partners Crowley.

Just seen that Ali Al-Hamadi has gone from Wimbledon to Ipswitch for £2m but close to £3m with add-ons. 17 goals this season, surely that will affect their play-off push.

Langstaff must be worth at least £3m then?

Already played for two clubs, Dallas's only options were to try getting on at Barnsley or go non league

Ok then, it allows us to move on to plan B if a Didzy doesn’t quite work which on Saturday it didn’t. We could still be playing now and wouldn’t have scored again, bringing on like for like subs like Austin didn’t change the game. The fact that Sanderson has made some appearances suggests a striker is needed.
It’s a huge risk if no new striker is bought in. If Macca picks up any injury we are left with Didzy, Sanderson and Morias as our options.
Would you be comfortable with it that?

He doesn't partner anyone, he is just a show boater.. And he was crap on Saturday....
