Still hearing we have 1 more player almost over the line, i expect tomorrow an announcement. Info i got was Moore or Kelly will join Fadz out the exit door with Kelly being the most likely to be leaving. Was also told to not be surprised if a bid comes in for Ben Wilson, but a signing should be announced tomorrow.

If that lot is true we will need two goalkeepers, can’t see that.

Wilson won't be allowed to leave regardless of a bid or not, it's Simon Moore that will go if a goalkeeper is leaving. Kelly is a strong candidate to leave and Tavares could potentially be going on loan. It very much depends on whether or not we get this deal over the line tomorrow. I would expect at some point tomorrow either Kelly or Tavares to be leaving, one permanently and the other season long loan, while an announcement is made on a signing. Godden going is a possibility but from what i have been told it's very unlikely as the club simply aren't in a position financially where they have to let players go. O'Hare could be subject to a last minute bid, Southampton being that club, and a bid of 8-12 million. Tomorrow will be a busy day, but expect 1 more signing.

Loan is the obvious answer

Not that simple though.

Who is going to loan us a player who has been playing this season?

It isn't impossible. But it's difficult to bring in the quality we would need that's also anywhere near match fit.

Not signing a central midfielder in the summer probably cost us 6 points when Sheaf got injured earlier in the season.

Another 5 or 6 points can easily be lost if we fail to sign a wide player before tomorrow

All teams lose points. It’s a tad frustrating.

No one is paying 8 - 12 million for a player with 6 months left on his contract. Southampton don’t need him either. Why are people constantly making up lies?

It was a brisk, biting wind kind of a day, with the merest glimpse of sun breaking through the clouds at infrequent moments.

Over the distant horizon, a figure appeared. A player. Adorned in sky blue, he smiled and looked into the camera lens and with the slightest glint in his deep blue eyes, he said....

If only he would take a look at the forum so he can see what we need then a simple case of buying someone. Next stop promotion. Easy. Surprised more clubs don’t try and win the league really.

My name is Jimmius Hillius, commander of the Sky Blue Armies of the North, General of the West Terrace Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Joy Seppala. Father to a murdered club. Husband to a stolen stadium. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

All the people having a go at anyone that is slightly concerned with the lack of depth in wide areas can fuck off to be honest. If we don’t sign a wide man it’s not a disaster but we will then be over reliant on Wright and Sakamoto staying fit. That’s what the sensible people are concerned about. It’s not bedwetting, it’s perfectly reasonable to question it
Click to expand...
Nobody is having a go at anyone for that. Just making the point people act as if the club/Robins don’t know or can’t be arsed and are having a massive flap.

They will be looking at players but won’t make a desperate move.

Back on topic … I still expect one loan signing today but probably a gamble. Robins can see what we can see but by now, with our main targets not achievable, I’m sure we are left with unproven players that have potential or aging players that need a new challenge …..

No idea if this is true but apparently we’ve made an enquiry into Paddy McNair at Boro who is out of contract in 6 months.

You are correct. He’s predominantly a defender but does very occasionally play as a CDM.

I’ve only ever noticed him as a defender.

Definitely a new incomer today … you heard it here first . I’m sat in Faradays having breakfast and Fiona was talking to Gina and I over heard them say a new starter coming in Friday . I’m not one to eaves drop or spread gossip but it looks like whoever it is has legs !! They said it will be a great addition to the team .

Would be a good option as cover for Sheaf and Eccles and allow Kelly to move on plus add another defensive option especially if we don’t make Binks Permanent. Still hoping for a secretly busy day from Doug and Mark (although unlikely) with a wide man and forward being ideal.
