I’m going to be really controversial here, get yourself a Caramac bar.

He’s been displaced by Granit Xhaka who’s the best player in that squad by a long distance. I no longer think he’s what we need but he isn’t a bad player.The challenge with Neil is obvious. If Sunderland don’t think he’s worth hardly any minutes in the Prem why would we give him a 4 year deal at Cov ?
One reason is that he might help us get up which would be brilliant but if your the player do you want to swap not playing for the risk of not playing next season ??
You’re assuming that we have one option and the rest are panics. That would be terrible management.If you really are after a statement signing and it doesn't come off, do you settle for a panic buy.
Or keep your powder dry and have another go in the summer. It is well known transfers are often achieved over two windows not one.
We still have the squad that got us to the top with points and goals to spare, plus two additions to that squad.
I sometimes think some fans just need a signing to validate their own predictions.
Everyone? He’d probably pull you up on that one.Remember everyone saying they don't care if he buys anyone this season after buying the stadium.....

Agree that we need to strengthen. Disagree that we’re destined to be overtaken if we don’t sign anyone.We will never get a better chance than this its simple
If we dont spend a penny in this window its not good enough is it let's be honest. Its not like we have a complete squad, we have 1 capable left back, 1 capable DM.
Yes the squads done brilliantly so far, but our rivals are strengthening and closing. Standing still will get us overtaken
Thought you said we were 100% getting a CM? Surely you shouldnt need to worry if so....We will never get a better chance than this its simple

Based on everything we’ve heard you’d have to assume the club is more than aware of this.We will never get a better chance than this its simple

That would be pretty terrible if true, for it to happen twice in a season and probably suggest that there is a different narrative to what has been spun in the media.Completely agree. Now is the time where we really go for it and make a statement signing to get us over the line.
I still stand by my pessimistic view that we get to deadline day, try to scramble a signing at the last hour and fall just short (as we seem to do all so often)
Let’s reserve judgment until the window shuts at least.That would be pretty terrible if true, for it to happen twice in a season and probably suggest that there is a different narrative to what has been spun in the media.
We could do two couldn't we.I wonder what everyone’s favourite packet of crisps is
We were running that same line in the summer, we should have been proactive in this window, yes we got Esse, but we had a real opportunity.Let’s reserve judgment until the window shuts at least.
Wouldn't say it will, but certainly could.We will never get a better chance than this its simple

I just dont get the desire to run the risk when we could sign, spend £5/10m and give us a stronger chance.Wouldn't say it will, but certainly could.
At the same time it’s true. The time to complain about transfer business is after the window closes.We were running that same line in the summer, we should have been proactive in this window, yes we got Esse, but we had a real opportunity.
We gambled on the games in January by waiting.
And he wasn't a statement signing? Every club in the Championship would love to have Esse.we signed him a couple weeks ago mate
Not really. He is a loan.And he wasn't a statement signing? Every club in the Championship would love to have Esse.

It is running the same as the summer. Except this time there isnt the purchase of a stadium to quieten down those questioning it.Just feels so predictable as it did in the summer and other recent windows.
Lots of whispers of don’t panic we will have a CM definitely in by Norwich or next week or whenever. Then everything goes radio silent before the predictable deadline day scramble.
Staying true to form, I wonder if we loan out a CM at the 11th hour. Allen to Barnsley?
There is an extremely high chance that it is, in fact, good enough. We shall see at the end of the season.If we dont spend a penny in this window its not good enough is it let's be honest. Its not like we have a complete squad, we have 1 capable left back, 1 capable DM.
I dont want Bidwell playing any games in the run in, you are correct.There is an extremely high chance that it is, in fact, good enough. We shall see at the end of the season.
Are we no longer classing Jake Bidwell or Josh Eccles as capable players now?

I think that’s a very different statement from saying he’s not capable.I dont want Bidwell playing any games in the run in, you are correct.
He isn't capable anymore, correct.I think that’s a very different statement from saying he’s not capable.
Thing is though, if he wasnt good enough for the step up for them and needed replacing 6 months ago, its surely a silly signing. If he was free or loan id be all over it. Exactly what we need for promotion push. But why spend cash on a player already deemed not good enough for the step up by another club?He captained them last season and is very highly rated. He is a victim of them needing to sign premier level players to stay up, similar to their keeper. I think he would be a decent signing, probbly lower than his value too due to his contract situation.
To be honest, we’ve addressed the biggest need imo so even if we signed no one else, it’s still a decent transfer window.Let’s reserve judgment until the window shuts at least.
The issue is we have players that we cant get rid of, as you say, we have 1 capable LB, but we have 3 in the squad, Doug paid top wages for Woolfenden, who now appears to be 4th choice CH and is unlikely to get many minutes. We have Lats and Allen who can be bit part players, but arnt good enough to give competition to the regular starters, and Eccles who is also a fringe player.We will never get a better chance than this its simple

They closed the gap when we had several players missing and couldn't put anyone on the bench that could change a game.We will never get a better chance than this its simple
