Nick we all know Chaplin doesn’t count as a new addition this January.
Most lower league clubs seek to add 2 to 3 players in this window. Historically we have too on many occasions.
Why doesn't Chaplin count?
Luke Thomas was extended, Bright and Drysdale? So that's 3 even without Chaplin (for whatever reason that is)... if we get one more (as Robins has said) that's 4 new players? We haven't seen many leave? And we already had a big squad. Ni point in adding more players for the sake of it.
Because it's not a new addition is it? Same as Thomas.
We panic because we are still in need of players! It might be different if we we're cruising in the league and our only worry was about losing players! Just another thing for you to moan about thoughI say it every time, people are too obsessed with deadline day. People usually forget about signings at the start of the window and moan nobody has signed if it isn't on Sky Sports. We handed over money to make the Chaplin move permanent in this window.
I am more interested to see more going out.

It has been made from a loan to a permanent, so it is as we will have had to pay so financially he will be.
No its not a new addition to the squad, additional expenditure yes.
That's why I pointed out financially he is an addition which won't be thought about.
Outgoings we have only had Andreu so far.
I guess the common theme so far this season is we can’t score and people are hoping that it would addressed this window, which is a fair assumption
how many are our u23 squad?Just checked, we have the joint biggest squad in League 1 with 32 alongside Sunderland / Doncaster.
how many are our u23 squad?
Because it's not a new addition is it? Same as Thomas.
As nick says we still have to pay?
Thomas wasn’t set to be here after January so again why doesn’t it count?
We are still up on numbers aren't we as it stands?Because it’s not an addition to the playing squad is it when they were already in the squad before the window....
We are still up on numbers aren't we as it stands?
I think people have unrealistic expectations unless we can offload a few quickly
Thomas is because he’d have left; Chaplin may not count because it was already agreedBecause it's not a new addition is it? Same as Thomas.
Thomas kind of is, if we didn't get him we would have had to replace which would then be a different one.Yeah of course and we have spent money like you say. But to say Chaplin and Thomas count as 2 new signings, while financially correct, in terms of players they don’t count as additional signings
Apparently we have looked at bringing McNulty back.
Hibs hope to buy Reading’s Marc McNulty and sign Celtic’s Scott Allan before window closes
I think he would give the squad a lift wages would stop the move tho he’s unfit alsoHibs manager Neil Lennon has just left, so hopefully they are no longer in for McNulty, and we step in.
Agree keep key players and maybe get a loanee winger and it gives us something to work on. A 20 goal a season striker isn’t going to be available to loan and we clearly are not in a position to buyNot a big lover of the January window to be honest, if we get through tomorrow without losing a major player I can live with that, consolidate the squad, get some of the youngsters bloodied and ready for next year.
