Tend to disagree with you as you do not allow for any lateral thinking.What on earth are you about ref 'brainwashing'?


Military/Army training is a form of brainwashing, not of the traditional perception that you are probably thinking, but a more subtler version. (Breaking down before building back up)
I would say that the optimum age physically for a fair percentage of males is probably anywhere between 20-25+ years of age however the optimum years as a footballer could be more 26-29 years.
Beyond then, it is a different kind of physical fitness, more at a level of consistency as opposed to the explosive type of earlier years.

The West Ham lad is very highly regarded,

Watching clips from West Hams Youth team he looks to have a wand of a left foot. He appears to take their corners and free kicks and is involved in a lot of goals both from Left mid and Left back.

Still no confirmation of senior players being transfer listed. KC seems quite relaxed in his interview, he did say that players are playing for their futures between now and the end of the season. I suppose that goes without saying really.

Not wanting to state the obvious but I think we will see far more in the retained this than this window. I don't know how many of the current full time sqaud are out of contract come June 2019 but Id be suprised if many stayed. IMO

Exactly!  Good post.

He has huge potential, and will be great for us - as well us giving him that valuable experience of playing against thugs.

(You know that you are now tainted by having me agree with you post..... expect the wrath of the Hotel End to descend upon you).

By the way.... expect Pollock to be subject to a speculative bid from a Championship/Prem Club before the Window closes..... Possibly West Ham.  He has too much potential to be here beyond the Summer, even if we are promoted.

Into the final week of the window. We've sold arguably our two best players and brought in two youngsters with zero football league pedigree. There must be more signings to come, unless KC's hands are tied with incoming movements?

His YouTube interview suggests he has his eye on at least one target.

No need to panic

KC has hinted and more movement both ways. I don't think his hands are tied I think the summer is she  things will really happen once OOC players have gone.

It’ll be hard to bring in the quality required if we slip out of the football league.
We could improve our chances of league football next year by bringing in a couple of quality signings during this window but alas we have sold any valuable assets and seem to be going along the DC route of untried youngsters and free transfers.
We’ve recouped substantial income from the sales but how much will be spent in the way of transfer fees to bring in the quality we now lack??

This transfer policy and window seems very similar to the ones under the last chairman......

That didn’t end very well for the club!!

Let’s hope KT is going down a different route and some quality players will be wearing claret and white before the window closes....

untried youngsters and free transfers.

To be fair Cox seems like a quality addition.

There is the negative of selling the biggest two assets but at the same time its the manager having a pair of balls and removing trouble makers from the squad. Not saying they were intentionally disruptive but even a lack of application can spread throughout a team.

The quality and expiriance of player is there and avalible if you want to bring it in. Look at NO bribing David Wheeler, that's the sort of player we should be aiming for. Good age at 28, lots of lg2 expiriance and in a position we are crying out for.

The players are there, but is the will there to pay wages?

Id be utterly amazed if we sign anyone, who is going to cost us more than a few hundred quid a week max.

A case of trying to get the wage bill down, possibly to make the club easier to sell or cost less to run in the future.

Id speculate that a defeat tomorrow might change that though. We'd be in a proper scrap if that happens. If we win, we will be fairly comfortable again!

No, we can't compete with anyone half decent in L2, hence the fire sale with more outgoings more probable than any incomings...

Wheeler is a quality player who has gone to MK...why would he have wanted to come to us in our current state anyway?

It's imperative we stay up so that a more manageable budget can be spent wisely by KC in the Summer...

Seems to be relatively highly rated by the Mansfield fans.

What nationality were those lads that Gary Johnson signed? Marin Pozgain or something or other.
