It's not just fitness that's the issue here. Many of these free agents won't have played since the summer - some for longer. Match sharpness is another issue that also could pose a problem and isn't as easy to improve in terms of time as fitness is.
I agree. But don't think it's such an issue with an impact player.
Bringing in a free agent to play elsewhere isn't probably worth it as they won't be up to speed until mid Feb earliest.
I don't think they'll be a lot of business done across the board this January.
I'm sure most clubs didn't budget for BCDs or 2k fans max post Christmas.
How would it be a massive blunder by the club? The club are broke and they can't do anything to change that. Their hands are essentially tied. It's far easier said than done to move on players that no one wants - probably bar Allen. Posters have said this numerous times already on this thread. The only way I can foresee us receiving an injection of cash to be used in the transfer window is if SISU pump funds in - and I'm far from confident that this will happen as they're already going to be topping up the coffers again this season.
I half agree with your last sentence. From the outside looking in, it would be incredibly short sighted by SISU if they outright refused to support Robins in the window - but really it entirely depends on what their own personal situation is and the situation of their investors.
Problem is getting rid of themIt would be a blunder not to ship out some of the ineffective players in our squad and replace them with better quality. It might be we ship 2 useless players out to bring in 1 decent one. Or Sisu sanction some loan signings.

Kasta Baka & Jobello are offering nothing for us anyway if we could move those 3 on would be a good startProblem is getting rid of them

I'd prefer to promote a youth team player than have them lads stealing a livingAnd who is going to replace them ?
If there was someone, do you not think they'd have been promoted to the squad alreadyI'd prefer to promote a youth team player than have them lads stealing a living

Likewise a player will be reluctant to leave the perceived security of a championship club even if there is first team football on offer. These people live in a dream world.Again, why would it be a blunder? I feel like you're missing the point here. Baring in mind we're navigating through one of the worst crises football (never mind the world) has ever had to deal with since the war, attempting to find clubs for players who were barely up to the standard in League One is far easier said than done. Clubs will be running on fumes and are going to be far less willing to take risks on players. So, why would a club want our 'useless' players if they're not going to benefit their squad?
Clarke Harris would do a job

I think Premier league Loan would be the only viable option. Because Robins has a good track record of improving loan players. We would just have to hope that one of the big teams dont mind paying a fair wedge of their wage.
Kasta went in the last window but was sent back as faulty goods
Suspect he'll go out somewhere again next month
Let's hope it works out better for all concerned this time
Haven't heard of any problems with the medicalInteresting, I didn't know he actually was off.
What do you mean by faulty goods? Did he fail a medical?

There’s no “arsehole” in TEAMI'd take him back. Good record since he left.
Robins didn't really play him when he was here though, so don't think either would be willing to make that move.
Have also thought about Keinan Davis before (not in that way!). From what I’ve seen, his strength and link up play is very good, though he is making the match day squad most of the time at Villa.
I think much depends on the premier league. Should Declan Rice sign for Chelsea for silly money etc. I can see there being a trickle down effect. Also the last window stock markets were on their knees and billionaire owners would have been affected. The picture is not amazing but improved and may mean some will spend.I think it's one of those that you'd have to wait and see. The importance of match sharpness, even for 'impact players', is vital and really shouldn't be understated in my view.
I think January will be a quiet window for most.
A rapid, direct winger please.
