Agree.

Obviously I am talking about league one/two level. Free transfers or small transfer fees are the norm at this level is the point im making

Most of those were undisclosed fees and Holmes has only moved on loan. I think calling them 'great signings' is overstating it somewhat too. We beat several clubs to the signings of Ogogo and Brown and it looks as though Mason and Allisani are handy as well. Supposedly Sterling chose to come to...

Now who's talking nonsense. We desperately needed a left back and bought in two good players for that position, both on free transfers. We needed to strengthen at centre mid and we bought in Ogogo on a free. At our level, free transfers are the norm for the majority of clubs.

Like who? I've not seen any transfers of any particular note. It's not ridiculous at all. In league one and two far more players move on a free than for a fee.

McNulty came for free. Transfer fees are no indication of quality.

It's a pity it didn't work out. He was brilliant for Dale, I hope he rediscovers his form.

Very little time to get a replacement on though.

Would assume we would at least know who the interested club is by now if he really was off.

I doubt that, in his interview for the offal he sounded as surprised as anyone that we had signed him. I'm sure I read he was at Lewes on non contract terms and that we didn't pay a fee so it's no loss regardless. If he owned a house down there then moves take time so I still think it's...

I would assume he is moving house etc and this way can keep training/playing for lewes and stay fit

If we sell Bayliss to Chelsea we can probably have him back on loan for the next 4 years then resign him on a free at the end of his contract.......

Maybe a "loan fee" situation like we did with JCH.

Pure guesswork on my part but if Chaplin doesn't sign I wouldn't be surprised to see us bring in another Chelsea loanee instead

Not at all. I'm just saying there has been an assumption that we would be spending some of the McNulty money, which may not be the case

Equally, it's very unusual for a Robins signing to be rumoured much before it actually happens. All of our other signings pretty much came out of the blue (Morgan Williams aside but that seemed to be a hitch with the paperwork). It's just not in Robins MO to do it this way. I don't doubt we have...

He's definitely signing, the Barnet is proof!

There's not been any concrete evidence that we have any money available to spend in the first place. Nothing official has ever been said about our supposed interest in Chaplin

He said in his last interview that he had a plan B that could be completed very quickly should he not be able to land his preferred target. I wouldn't be surprised if that means another loan from Chelsea

Bayliss and Sterling aren't injured, they are away with England. We will sign at least one new striker if not two before the window closes and Willis, Kelly and Ogogo are not seriously injured we must assume otherwise the club would have said something
