smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I think we need at least 2 incomings if the squad remains as it is. If we lose players it should be players to replace the position of the player we have sold plus 2. It's a difficult to see what we will do or what our aims are for the rest of the season though. We are playing well now but our squad is paper thin. We are now as close to the play offs as we are the relegation zone. Gambling on promotion by adding to the squad numbers, maintaining our position by keeping the squad as it is and weakening the squad all have big risks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah now you mention it I remember that. Link to post Share on other sites
BoroMart 139 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Could be recalling Zack Hemming, as 3rd choice Keeper rather than splash out? Link to post Share on other sites
SzilardNemethsCurtains 2,844 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Just to save any disappointment, can we all agree to expect no signings whatsoever? I will guarantee now we won't get Maddison, Toney or Clarke-Harris. Maybe and it's a big maybe, we will get some cheap loans and lose a few big earners Link to post Share on other sites

I am happy with our progression under Woody and think we will have a better second half of the season but we need to be realistic. There is no money to spend and we have an awful record in the transfer market, let's not fill ourselves full of false hope. Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed cash is limited.. let's see what we can generate through sales. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It's finding the balance between expectations and reality. Hopefully we can strengthen our financial position whilst getting a better balance in the squad to push on in the second half of the season.

Haven't heard anything about Hemming to be honest, but using one of the youth keepers instead of a third keeper is probably what I would imagine us to do. I think this may be a busy window for ourselves, gonna gamble on the very unlikely 4 out and 5 in: INS: Maddison - Permanent Striker - Permanent CB - Permanent Experienced utility defender - Loan Winger - Loan OUTS (all permanent): Britt Randolph Ayala Shotts Link to post Share on other sites
Ayresome7 187 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Burnley made an enquiry about Wood but their valuation of him was significantly lower than what it would take for us to let him leave considering he signed a new deal 6 months ago. He has been watched by both City and United. JW says he is one of the most naturally talented youngsters he has ever worked with and could potentially be one of the best defenders to come out of the club. Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously are we the only club Burnley look at for CBs or what? After what they did to the last good CB we sold them I don't wanna consign any more of our promising players to their bench 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Cant see Bevington having done a lot so makes me wonder who is guiding such an overhaul? Link to post Share on other sites
