King obviously wants us as sustainable as possible in the meantime. Anything else is just gambling on promotion

I might well be wrong but I reckon they were trying to get someone else in right upto the deadline but knew it was unlikely and wanted the release news of a new signing to be positive ending to the day (so held back Woolfenden confirmation). In the end it just pissed everyone off

Exactly. It was only a couple of weeks ago when we didn’t own the stadium and some were shitting the bed expecting Rudoni to be sold to Southampton If someone had told me at the start of the summer that we’d have got £10m for Binks and sheaf, strengthened RB area and CB, got a keeper in to...

Yeah, I was talking about players coming through

We’ve got Obikwu, Andrews and Perry which is better than for a while. Also Dausch although playing at a lower level so guessing less likely to progress albeit he looked decent when he made his debut. Sometimes young players just need a run in the team to kick on which they’ll never do here if...

Then probably moaning that we didn’t buy him Will be interested to see how the young lads get on in league one. Shows we’re in a better place depth wise in short/medium (not immediate) term than people realise. Andrews was probably earmarked at that level as well before sheaf went. Are we a...

and we still ended up with Sean Maguire

A lot of deals seem to drag to today for various reasons, everyone waiting to see what they’ve got left before making decisions, agents holding out, prem clubs holding back on loans to see who they might need to keep etc. frustrating but is what it is sure if the sheaf offer had come in earlier...

I reckon one or two fell over today. Also sounds like sheaf was very last minute. Right call to sell still (for him and us). Will be interesting to see where a lot of the young prem lads have gone out on loan

Really good signing though. Chuffed with that.

P/T Apprentice by the looks of it

Thought it was that twat when I flicked over. Sky sports has totally lost it.

Don’t say it !!!

Yep. Just to give some extra hope… Can signings be made after the deadline? While the window shuts at 19:00 BST, deals can still be announced after the deadline. That is because clubs have a two-hour grace period to complete a signing if they have submitted a deal sheet ahead of the deadline.

Some very short memories. Didn’t we win four on the bounce with Allen playing deep central role just before grimes landed. I think Eccles will come back better this season as well. Our squad strength is far stronger than it has been in recent years, all are owned bar Rushworth. It would be good...

Didn’t he play for u21s last week. Guessing back after break

was hoping the quality might ramp up today…sadly not !

If he takes a pay cut I’d have him back for £2m but we can’t pay him what he’s on otherwise we’d have done that before (and without a £2m fee !). Would be a great squad addition but also doubt he’d want to come if he wasn’t confident of regular first team place

He’d do a job. If Rudoni or Grimes get injured for a prolonged period that’s a different matter but that’s because they’re integral to the whole way we play. Not sure anyone we’d get in would replace them like for like unless maybe a prem loan. I wouldn’t have trusted sheaf to do that job...

4D chess by king Eccles coming off the bench and filling in is definitely at that level. He’ll always do a job for the team and I’m hoping that time with Lampard/coaches he’ll step up even more
