Why are so you accepting of us having a net spend of £0 in this transfer window whilst everyone else around us are investing? I’m not asking for us to spend 75 million, it’s one player for a couple mill. Are you an idiot?

Some people never learn.

It isn't how much you spend but what you do with your budget. We kept all of our best players who were good enough and added to them. Pre season on here was mental. Teams like Norwich and Southampton were expected to be challenging at the top and many had us mid table.

This window we've strengthened. The other sides already had loans. We only had 1. Esse is a great loan signing and I would love to keep him next season if we get promoted. Again we haven't sold anyone so far we want to keep and would have to replace. This is much better than having replacements that would have to learn the way we play and hope for the best. Esse is a class player that just slotted in. Mini is like a normal signing and will take time. I would be very happy with another loan to improve our squad.

Think it’s got to be Rushworth for his consistency tbh. Others have had purple patches but Rushy has consistently been one of our best players and just had the odd game off.

My shortlist thus far is:
• Rushworth
• Mason-Clarke
• Thomas-Asante
• Grimes

tough to pick one between them all for different reasons, Rushworth and Grimes consistency has been key and we would be fucked without either of them. EMC and BTA have both been showing their quality and undroppable when available, I think I’d have to say BTA least likely unless he comes back performing at the same levels, then Grimes because he’s dropped off a tiny bit, so between Rushworth and Mason-Clarke

Not that I think we should be signing players for no reason, but given that there seems to be a bit of an arms race from other teams around us, I do hope we spare no penny pinching to get some deals over the line.

I think we can do it, but if there's one or even two players that can come in and add some quality then we need to get it done. This is such a good opportunity.

Thomas

they’d be my options. BTA would need to have a great end to the season after being out for so long.

History shows it’s all about how players perform in the last 12 matches …. Everyone forgets the first half and gets focused on that period.

If Wright scored 15 goals in the remainder of the season he would win player of the season I have no doubt ….

I've always believed that we wouldn't be making any major signings unless somebody leaves, just as with Sheaf and Woolfie. That might still happen around the edges in the last week of the window. It's been pretty clear for months that King isn't going to be putting in millions of fresh investment, hence the loans. I'm pretty confident that they had planned to move MVE out but that changed over the summer.

It simply doesn’t equate that we need more players but are top and have just beaten two good teams. One midfielder as depth. Yes. Some of the other suggestions are lunacy. Those saying Lampard hasn’t been backed have very short memories where going back forever we would be sure of losing our best talent as a matter of course.

I suspect King is very happy to spend for the right player this window. Securing that right player is never easy. I suspect Ipsw, Birm and Wrexham are also distorting the expected salary levels too.

Has that happened since the robins revival?

If someone moves on, Bidders maybe. If anything happens it will have been lined up for a while.
