The match fitness is a concern you're right and we shouldn't just add bodies for the sake of it. Josh Da Silva is the obvious candidate for me but I'm sure he will have offers.

It's easy to dismiss free agents as cast offs but at the moment there are some really good free agents available. It's definitely a market we should look at.

This has been a proper shit sandwich. 🙄

P Precisely

Hmmm maybe. Still feels like an odd move

True but if we knew we weren't getting any one in you'd keep Obikwu wouldn't you? Purely to have a body in the building?

Don't care what turner says, not a chance we sanction a move for Bassette and Obikwu without having a new forward nailed on, we must have. Centre mid I don't mind, Allen, Eccles and Andrews is enough cover until January. Obviously a CB is an absolute must.

What was that adage about not pleasing all the people all of the time?

I'd argue we need a forward player more but ideally both. Can't see that we would have let Obikwu and Bassette leave without having at least one forward coming in.

I'm comfortable with Eccles being the cover for Grimes. If we are to do another deal on top of Woolfenden I'd prefer it to be a left winger or striker. That said I'm not overly concerned if we wait till January for the right player rather than spunking cash on a panic buy now.

They can sign players that don't involve a fee

Completely agree. Our mistake with Sheaf was not snapping Luton's hand off when they wanted him in their Prem season.

Be more ambitious. I reckon we can easily get to a 1000 pages before 9pm

I agree. All our other business has been done quietly so the more public pursuit of Hughes must be an effort to get the player himself to force a move.

Ok you could argue that (although I think it's very unlikely), but think about how that situation arises. Either no one bids for our players because they are all shite or we have become the kind of club that controls when players come and go on our own terms. So which do you think it is. After...

We've no idea do we, rejected bids wouldn't necessarily be reported

Mad how our expectations have changed. Not long ago, any window where we kept our first team together and bought anyone at all would have been lauded as a huge success.....

Deadline day is a pantomime. Clubs buy into it to keep fan interest high, that's what keeps us spending money. Whether or not deals are actually done on the last day is pretty much irrelevant. Personally I'm expecting at least 2 in today, with Sheaf and Bassette going out. Still think it's...

Now this is much more like it.
