I think our starting 11 early season was pretty much enough but injuries and too many under performers now it's clear we need another cm who can do an actual job, because torp is not capable.Surely the whole point of a transfer window is to make the starting XI better, not just pad out the bench. Look at the business we’ve done, both in the summer and January. Almost every player we’ve brought in feels like backup. On a good day, most of them still wouldn’t get into the strongest lineup. Rushworth aside, are we honestly saying Woolfy, KKH, Mini, Brau or now Markelo would be first-choice? Because I don’t see it. There’s been some chat about Esse, but from what we’ve actually seen so far he’s decent going forward and pretty much anonymous defensively. And defending is a massive part of how our wingers are supposed to play. You can’t just ignore that side of the game. So after all those moves, are we actually any better off than we were before? I’m struggling to see it.
Disgraceful. Talk about an overreaction.Is it a coincidence that it's the same people who 24 hours ago were whinging and complaining that Doug won't pay for any transfers, that are now whinging and complaining about signing a player because it's not the one they want. We all know we need a CM as minimal. We have 5 days to still achieve that minimum. Becoming so spoilt we can't even get excited about signing a young winger for still one of our highest ever transfer fees. It's disgraceful really.
It is. If someone complained about us making a 4 million signing not even 5 years ago, you'd call them an idiot. We couldn't even imagine we would do such a thing. Now people are saying it's a waste before the guys even been seen on the training pitch. It's embarrassing entitlement. Sign of the modern age sadly.Disgraceful. Talk about an overreaction.

Like other teams who’ve cheated the systemThose 2 know they need to get up before EFL PSR catches up with them so they'll spend now and hope they can run fast enough,
Its like a being a kid at xmas ticking off all the things you wanted in the catalogue to waking up on xmas day and finding you got a satsuma instead
Bit of useless information, but satsuma, which is a Japanese name does not mean small orange in Japan, instead they are from the area of Satsuma. In addition, the only time Japanese use satsuma in with sweet potato which is satsumaimo. I state this in case you want to give Sakamoto a present because if you say Saka, here's a satsuma he will expect a sweet potato.It was a lovely Satsuma to be fair.
Satsuma really???? WowIts like a being a kid at xmas ticking off all the things you wanted in the catalogue to waking up on xmas day and finding you got a satsuma instead
Squad planning is actually a reason to make this signing. Come the summer we have 2 loan players going back and Sakamoto on 1 year remaining on his contract.Not disappointed we’ve spent money but concerned with the squad planning. Doug, To his credit, often mentions how hard it is to compete with some teams in this league. So with our finite resources, is this three right wing players (four if you include Rapha) the best use?
He could be brilliant but that’s leaving wages we could use for other players potentially not even on the bench. Similar to us having three leftback that prevents us getting one in that we really need.
I just don’t get it but the picture will hopefully become clear in the next couple of days.
I don't think anyone is ignoring where we are now at all. We are top of the league. In fact some fans on twitter seem to be the ones forgetting that.Haven't seen anyone saying its a waste?
This idea we should ignore where we are because where we've been previously is pretty silly too.
Too logical a statement that is for on hereSquad planning is actually a reason to make this signing. Come the summer we have 2 loan players going back and Sakamoto on 1 year remaining on his contract.
I used to dream of getting a satsuma. I got coalIts like a being a kid at xmas ticking off all the things you wanted in the catalogue to waking up on xmas day and finding you got a satsuma instead
Is he a CM??Satsuma really???? Wow
No he is shite but they thought they buy him anyway for the laugh.....So is this new winger any good? If we don’t bring in a midfielder then that’s a failure
I got Coke and lumped it.I used to dream of getting a satsuma. I got coal
I meant has anyone here seen him play before, does he look better than what we have etc.No he is shite but they thought they buy him anyway for the laugh.....
Expensive satsuma!Its like a being a kid at xmas ticking off all the things you wanted in the catalogue to waking up on xmas day and finding you got a satsuma instead
We are, yes.Silly question are we at the max squad registration?
Yes but one of the squad is Dovin who will likely be deregistered and Brau also i suspect may be.Silly question are we at the max squad registration?

See I thought three keepers had to be registered in the squad but could be talking nonsenseYes but one of the squad is Dovin who will likely be deregistered and Brau also i suspect may be.
