It used to be that Clubs would specify in contracts a maximum mileage that players could live away from the training ground or stadium itself.
This may have changed now.
On the Wilson rumour, I do think it’s unlikely we sign him, it would be stuff of fairytales if we did and Callum fired us to promotion.
We aren't signing two midfielders
wingers arent midfielders, they are wide forwardsWe’ve already signed two midfielders.
Only Crims isn't it?
Might as well be on another planet for all the good it would do IMO!*Hamer still lives in fizzy moon
We are in dire needs of a CMSo assume Esse is done and announced today, I think this has been a great proactive start.
Assuming no outgoings I think we have one more space in the squad. Wonder what position we’ll focus on

Makes sense but I also have a feeling, with literally nothing to back this up with, that we’re going to make 1 or 2 ‘big’ permanent signings.That makes sense imo. I think Doug has had a mindset shift now that we’re so close to promotion; he may realize the risk of spending now on perms could backfire with the newly bought players being pony in the prem.
Well Shmmeee things that wing backs are midfielders tooRyan Giggs played Left Midfield for Utd, Lee Sharpe Right Midfield.
Both were considered wingers.
he's a decent enough wingerJeremy Sarmiento is going to Boro.
Already been promoted twice with Ipswich and Burnley.
Good energetic midfield player.

The fact we are in 2026 still playing Allen and Eccles as a partnership is criminal.
Sheaf was sold late in the day and never replaced.
CM is a must for me
Assume Brau and/or Bidwell depart then alsoIt will be a CM. Thats our next target
Dont be surprised to see an LB either
Andrews will be going out on loan to L1 Once we get the CM in, lot of interested clubs for Andrews
Double deal for Neil and CirkinIt will be a CM. Thats our next target

To think people were losing their heads when we hadn’t made a signing on the 5th!So assume Esse is done and announced today, I think this has been a great proactive start.

Paul Telfer played on the right of midfield for usRyan Giggs played Left Midfield for Utd, Lee Sharpe Right Midfield.

Yep I could see him suiting them.Bidwell has interest from Pompey
Good, get it done. Great servant for us but he is well past it.Bidwell has interest from Oxford
We should be all over Harry Amass.Good, get it done. Great servant for us but he is well past it.
Assume we’d only let him go if we can get a LWB as reported by The Guardian or Sky Sports.
Harry Amass and Dan Neil would be brilliant if Doug doesnt want to spend any money.We should be all over Harry Amass.
Amass on loan, Neil for a very small fee as his contract is nearly done, Wilson on a free with goals and promotion incentives. That would be an excellent window and he'd still have about £15 million left over in supposedly available transfer funds to spend on his other activities.Harry Amass and Dan Neil would be brilliant if Doug doesnt want to spend any money.
Wingers are midfielders not forwards they are just not central midfielders.
In the same way full backs are defenders but they are not central defenders.
The complication is that some systems / players have converted from being central strikers to wide forwards but in this case they don’t have much defensive responsibility …. Mo Salah for example provides little cover for his full back.
We play with wide midfielders and they are expected to track back. Tats is better at it than EMC and EmC is better at it than Wright ( which is one of the reasons I don’t think Frank likes wright wide left )
To think people were losing their heads when we hadn’t made a signing on the 5th!
Eccles has been very good of lateWe are in dire needs of a CM

Dare I say it, Eccles has been better than Rudoni and Torp of late. Credit where it’s due!Eccles has been very good of late
Andrews needs a loan too, showed some decent glimpses but not yet at the level we’re at so a productive loan again will do him a lot of good!It will be a CM. Thats our next target

To add to the hilarity, the 5th of Jan was only the second working day of the year. You need the NHS to do medicals as well as the various offices that register players internally and externally.Summed up a chunk of our supporters at the moment. Desperate to throw someone under the bus after a wobble, it was kings turn this week… even though since the end of last season hes kept hold of all our best players, brought in the best keeper in the league/added to the squad, bought the stadium and overseen a team that’s been top of the league all season
Said it before, other supporters would piss themselves if they saw some of the shit on here
You are right on this, deals take time. But it looks like things were lined up. The medicals are done through private healthcare. I’d imagine it would be Spire though not the NHS.To add to the hilarity, the 5th of Jan was only the second working day of the year.

King has been a great owner and people worrying about him screwing over Lampard are indulging in conspiracy theory thinking.
