If Esse is to happen it probably won't be until Senegal are finished with AFCON and Sarr returns to them, so there's every chance that wouldn't be until after the Leicester game by the looks of it.

Of other names mentioned I get the impression that Manneh is not happening. I don't want O'Nein simply because I don't think he's very good, and I don't see where he would fit in. He surely wouldn't displace Thomas or Kitching, or be ahead of Woolfenden either. I'm not over keen on Dan Neill either but if we have to sign a Sunderland player I would rather it be him.

I understand the Huddersfield manager has said Castledine is remaining with them for the rest of the season too, so we can probably discount him joining us.

I dont really get the notion that its ok as the window is open for 30 days.

We need players in before Leicester latest.

What will happen is the same as the summer, we will get closer to the deadline and be saying "i think we will get 1 in before the deadline" and then when we do we will make out it was a successful window.

This is only fun and not serious, although I wish it was.

Leicester having trouble finding cash to make James' transfer permenant, a £10m offer could get him to us, Then Hughes from Hull, Boro are meant to be interested and again if we offered £15m maybe could get him. Lastly, Léo Scienza from Saints, FL loves him, we offer £15m. There you have it, 3 quality signing who would get us promoted.

Every Premier League Club will have Rushworth on their radar.

And the same people will say ‘stop the bed wetting, we will obviously sign a couple in the next few days’ for the next 4 weeks until deadline day rolls around

Exactly the same happened in the summer, except there was the added line "well be more grateful he bought the stadium"

They are what I like to call... bootlickers

I do understand the argument that we don't need a striker as we have Simms scoring, Haji & BTA to come back but Lampard has already tried to sign one.

If he thinks that another striker is key to finishing the job then he should be given what he wants because we're not likely to be in this position again for a very very long time.

Sorry, but it’s not bed wetting is it really?

As I mentioned earlier in the thread the club has had time to proactively prepare for the moment the window opened. Deals can still be agreed outside the transfer window and if they had targets then I’d be keen to understand why couldn’t secure them ready for Jan 1st.

Lampard knows, and has mentioned several times since the beginning of the season, that we have small squad and injuries take its toll, so then surely the club knows what the manager needs, prepare and get it ready for when the window opens and help out the team(?).

To me what it looks like is a mixture of one or two things, either a reluctance to spend money and wait on the availability of loan players from Premier League sides (likely) or players that they are trying to secure are looking at different moves, but without understanding which players the clubs looking at, and with how the leaks have tightened up we won’t know the answer to this.

My fear if Lampard is not backed this window with players quickly and with the quality he needs, is that this will impact on him staying at the club longer term as he will lose trust in King to back him when the chips are down.

Can appreciate the need for patience, but I would argue that with we knew when the window closed where we were short and what needed depth. To have not had something ready to go, see Birmingham as an example.

Without context it’s very hard to judge but on the face of it disappointing.

Intends to sell might mean he knows he can't just hang on to him.

If we don't go up this year I think Lampard walks to be honest.

It’s Doug trying to cheap out. It’s always Doug trying to cheap out when it comes to the team.

That’s my fear as well.

Say West Ham do get relegated and sack Nuno, an academy graduate Lampard in charge at West Ham with cash could be a viable alternative.

Don’t doubt any of them all very good players. The problem is that’s £40m!

I do wonder if Doug is struggling to fund anything to that level. Part of me understands - he’s bought the club, cleared the debt and bought the ground.

It’s stick or twist - does he / can he afford to gamble. Based on our history and his business sense he maybe only wanting small tweaks or loans now - which is a gamble in itself given the opportunity.

We’ve probably done better than he thought - are really hard conundrum.
