January Transfers & Rumours

It’s a lot for what would be a back up striker this season, but guess there’s a logic in getting ahead of the game and giving someone time to settle in if we’re resigned to having to sell Macca in the summer.

Or we’re selling Macca now but can’t see it.

Still time for ML to go to Sunderland or whoever, perhaps any deal depends on getting Jatta to sign

[Kent Magpie]

We're allegedly bidding about £125k for him. I reckon it's simply so we can play two up front and coin the name 'Maccajatta' formation.

If the brothers also own Viborg then isn't it just moving money between their companies? Maybe we are making an unexpected profit this season and they need to move some money out of the business!

By my reckoning, that's 4 through the door if this lad comes...one in each position. Goalie, Defender, Midfielder, Striker, plus we signed Sanderson from the youth team. That's 5 signings altogether.

All in all, that's not too bad from a L2 club with the 10th best budget.
Like Stall says, there's no point in bringing loads in January as it just rocks the boat, plus we have a few coming back from injury.

If this lad comes, I think it's fair to say that this window can be considered steady and decent.

There are two reasons to sign someone in January: to improve the team pretty much instantly, or to improve the team in the long-term but you needed to make the signing now or risk missing out.

Out of our signings, Macari is one for the future; Warner will hopefully improve our back line for the next few months; the keeper hasn’t had a game yet; and Robertson has had a slow start, but to me doesn’t look like the high-energy, box-to-box midfielder I was hoping for. Oh, and we’ve had to unexpectedly bring in a new manager.

As things stand, based on the transfer window, I think we’ll probably finish in the place where our budget is - about 10th.

We could do with 2 or 3 going the other way to help with the wage bill.
Obviously not Macca or Jodi though.

Can’t believe this guy’s a replacement for Macca. As an option off the bench he looks great.

If it's true then I'd say he was the big plan B striker off the bench we've been crying out for.

Exactly.

I don’t know if this guy will be the answer as my gut feeling is he will be more Eli Sam than Sam battering ram Parkin.
