So - you break the bank to get Hylton in on a multi year deal . You struggle to get it to work or play to his strengths. He doesn’t score and doesn’t start . ….. and then you go the board to justify another striker in the same mould . I wouldn’t bother knocking on the door without putting your job at risk personally .
So as the saying goes, "You've made your bed, now lie in it". and if the signing hasn't worked but we refuse to acknowledge that or do anything about it, thus ending up midtable then maybe the saying "Cutting your nose off to spite your face" maybe more appropriate?

It's all about balance.

no , it’s called being accountable . Any business is run in the same way . I would have a good guess you work in the public sector or have no budgetary responsibilities in your work life ?

BBC's radio's Jake Sharpe on twitter...
"Good old Deadline Day. Jon Brady being very coy on whether the Cobblers are still active in the market. Squad looks pretty complete but if a gem pops up then I think they are in a position to capitalise'
you could take that as is said...OR you could take it as we have found the gem and are ready to complete the deal tonight...
Bob Coy?

Matty Longstaff to Colchester is a real head scratcher - he’s too good for League 2 and it’s not as if Colchester are realistically going to be challenging. Surely there are League 1 clubs that would have taken him. If he had to come to League 2 again then why not Mansfield again? I didn’t think that Colchester’s Chairman was renowned for splashing the cash.

Work? What's that?

Generally muster 15 passes between the back line then boot it as high and as far up the pitch as possible and wait for it to come back. Repeat.
Nice to have an identity

Could there be a late signing at Sixfields? Normally the club would tweet if there is no further action, so far they haven't

They normally tweet that we can go to bed because there will no further transfers in or out. So far they haven't. Is that simple enough for you?

Caleb to Crawley …. good luck with that one . A bit of a climb down from Burnley which was rumoured , probably by his agent / dad .

We can all go to bed. No further action. Shame they couldn't tell us a little earlier. They did look at a couple today but decided not to push the boat out according to James H.

Option to buy also. How the mighty seem to have fallen?? Other moves see Harry Smith join Exeter on loan from Leyton Orient and a welcome back to the EFL for Morgan Roberts, who has joined Swindon from Banbury.

CC - just shows that you can't make it on talent alone. unless he stops being lazy he will go nowhere. Harry Smith - fair play to him. Shame we couldnt get the best out of him. Roberts - always liked him, if he has bulked up he might have a chance.

Towards the end of his tenure at Mansfield he was often a sub. If he was that good we might have tried to secure him?

He was only benched by Mansfield due to fitness issues as far as I am aware.

Well that's it for this window. For me biggest loss - Fraser Horsfall (as much because it broke up a great partnership) Best new signing - Probably Lee Burge Upfront Hylton should be good and I'm very happy to see Eppiah back and even happier to see Magloire back on a long contract. I can't get too excited about Bowie or Leonard because they could go at a moments notice, especially likely after Christmas if they are doing really well here. Eppiah feels different. Lintott Adimayo and Haynes give us some excellent cover and options in defence, they would be in most starting 11s in L2.
Overall I'm pretty happy.
Oops almost forgot Sherring, its going to be hard to choose between all these defenders.

Is it too soon to start the January transfer thread?
I can already predict we need a no.9 & a proper no.10!
