Still wonder if Wrexham will try and cheeky bid for Wright (or Sargent) to fit their growing play off ambitions and US World Cup market for the documentary.

Really hope that the Esse rumours materialise. Would be a great start to the window

Which I think is kind of what Doug has alluded to. Instead of paying endless rent, were now paying that rent money to a bank on a mortgage. For how much and for how long who knows, but its certainly better than paying rent to insects/the council/blues/frasers group!

Is the prize money for the Play-off winner not greater than 1st/2nd? They say its the richest prize in football so would suggest he/the club would profit more for a play-off win than a league win?

We need two attacking players good enough to start games. Esse ticks that box. If there's two of that calibre (e.g. Esse + 1) I'd be happy, loans or perms.

If we make a deadline day signing we should announce them delivering a Chinese takeaway

Think you’re right. He’s being going on about the lack of squad depth for a while and seems pissed off at the moment.

He seems more and more stressed out each week.

The club is at a real crossroads come the summer with players leaving and likely backroom changes should we not go up

Saw a tweet from the journo Darren Witcoop who used to be with the Daily Mirror saying he thought it was one or the other. He said Rak Sakyi was a complicated deal... But he thought he would end up in the Championship in this window or something to that effect.

Both would be optimistic but seeing as we’ve also been linked to Liel Abada as well, it leads me to think we’re possibly after 2 wingers. To recap that’s Esse, Rak-Sakyi and Abada as well as Manneh before the window opened.

It makes sense, we play 4-2-3-1 with only 2 wingers in the squad. Sky reported we were looking at a winger, CM and LB.

Well exactly, he’s saying he has a source on this specific deal and nothing else. I had one on the Hyam sale, never had one before or since.

You’re worrying about stuff that’s yet to happen. We’re still in pole position to go up and as bad as our form has been over Xmas, our form is better than Boro’s over the last 5 games.

The Guardian piece that was basically a PR release said 2 wingers, so hopefully it is 2 wingers we are looking for

Just reading this palace thread about Esse. Sounds like there would be a deal to be done if we wanted to keep him.

Romaine Esse

In this mornings press conference Glasner said he wanted minimum an attacker in January of the similar profile of Sarr. As Sarr is the only player we have that runs beyond the back line, that I believe is part of Esse and Uche`s issue. In a previous conference Glasner told a story early in his...

Just watched the Leicester match …. Mikey Johnstone was a constant threat …. Would he help us this season absolutely, would he be good enough if we got up… almost certainly not .

That’s the challenge we face this window !

You won’t tempt other championship clubs to loan you there best players and buying them might jot he the right decision.

O'Rourke isn't one to say a deal is done and give a timeline for the signing without it being pretty much there.

It took Torp and EMC more than a year to settle in and become steady contributors, but people think we’d have no problem integrating five new signings into the team with only 20 games left in the season.

Esse can play as a 10 aswell, once Asante’s back that’s some attacking line up, looks like we’re sticking with the “we’ll just score more than you approach then “

Grimes was signed and became an immediate key player for us.

Torp was in his fist week of preseason when we signed him and EMC looked good from Day 1, Robins just didn’t know what his side was!
