Yes Bakayoko signed for FGR from Bolton. As the Italian captain in 'allo 'allo used to say "what a mistaker to maker"

Brady's is a rolling contract according to the Beeb, I would imagine the others are the same?

I did say didn't I, it's the same every year. From September onwards people start talking about the January transfer window but here we are almost half-way through it and nothing. I guess we'll do any business required lasts thing as usual. I suppose on the bright side, if other clubs were looking at Hoskins they'd have wanted to get him in pronto so it looks like he'll be staying.

in 2015-16, on January 2, we beat Barnet on the 2nd of our 10 game winning run and were in 2nd position. We were in a stronger position than this season, and didn't have many injuries throughout the christmas period, (and Holmes was coming back to full fitness ala Eppiah) although Calvert-Lewin had just been recalled by Sheffield Utd from his season long loan.

We went onto sign James Collins, Lee Martin (potential holmes injury precaution) and Luke Prosser on loan, with Danny Rose (from league rivals oxford?!?) signing on deadline day. Wilder also didn't stop there and signed Marquis on loan in February when Rico got an injury. The rules have changed now and obviously we can't get a replacement if an injury occurs after the deadline.

I'm interested to know why Brady isn't doing what Wilder knew was important, in strengthening when on top.

'This month has been about adding players to the team and squad who can make us stronger for the final 19 games.  It has been about adding experienced players who give us depth, options, quality and competition for places. Danny does this for us in central midfield plus he covers a few other positions too, so I am pleasantly surprised we have been able to add him.'

Although I think potentially the squad overall is stronger than it was then on January 2, I think there is still the need to strengthen in positions where if we lose a player it could be costly. A Sowerby type replacement, or just a general striker as another option.

I don't think there is any need to panic, there have been a few transfers in division 2 but not many. Every transfer window has a flurry of activity at the end and some clubs will be wanting to have signed replacements before releasing players. We are not in need of a major overhaul and it has been stated that we are only likely to bring in 2-3 players. JB and his team have got most of their previous transfer decisions right so I'm happy to leave it to them to do what they think needs doing.

I think most fans would settle for one signing in this window if it was a quality striker!

I'd settle for one player in any position that would walk straight into the starting line-up.

https://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/sport/football/thomas-confirms-additional-money-is-available-for-cobblers-to-spend-in-january-3985541

"Cobblers chairman Kelvin Thomas says there is money available for manager Jon Brady to spend in the January transfer window."

"...it would take a significant offer to even entertain the thought of selling top scorer Sam Hoskins."

"Jon Guthrie and Mitch Pinnock, two players who I know for a fact who would have been offered more money to go somewhere else, but they like it here, they have stability here and they enjoy playing for Jon so it’s not always just about money, players also want stability."

‘We have told Jon that he’s got some additional money if something special comes up.’

"there has been no serious interest in any of Northampton’s current squad"

Amazing we can read exactly the same article but see things in different ways.

I would imagine that as is the case in most windows teams are not releasing some of their players until they themselves can get their own targets in. I would much rather we wait until later in the window and get our main targets instead of settling for players that can offer little more than rotation options.

The first article in the transfer window was Jon saying that if anything happens it'll be towards the end of the transer window right? It's only the 13th.

I did hear one interesting thing in the IACTM Podcast preview today from the Stockport fan, that Stockport are interested in Dacres-Cogley from Tranmere at right back, so if they did go for him that might answer why Tranmere would be interested in McGowan, but do still think that site quoted for transfer rumours is 90% bollocks however.

Surely if we brought someone in January 1st that would have been our main target?

By the same token, if you bring someone in last minute doesn't that mean you've had to settle for somebody out of what's left available?

If Brady has his eyes set on someone and their club has said you'll have to wait until we have secured who we are after then that would sort of made sense.

On the assumption that the current squad remains as it is, then Id have thought the only player we'd be looking to bring in would be a striker/target man type. That's on the basis that the other slot in the squad where we are a bit thin on the ground is ultimately covered by Harrop who Brady has said he is looking to keep.

Likelyhood is I guess he will be someone on loan, and therefore the whole 'domino effect' has got to take place first to enable it too happen....

I am of course basing this all on my own unqualified assessment of the squad so we are probably looking for a left back and another goal keeper!  Grin

You can argue it any which way really. But I think its understandable that a team would want to ensure they dont leave themselves short themselves, so would look to ensure that they have a replacement lined up prior to selling their player. Its the standard domino effect. But I have no clue who we are after so as its stands we just have to wait patiently. At least its just evolution needed rather than revolution.

Interesting that Salford are being linked with Callum Morton - I’d have thought he’d fit our profile for the forward positions given his non stop running and closing down etc but he’s not exactly a target man.

It won't necessarily be a domino effect if it is a player not getting game time at their current club. You never know, there might be a Championship striker out there whose contract finishes at the end of the season and they want to make an impact somewhere to secure their future for next season /two years.

The way we set up I don’t think we need a striker. An attacking midfielder who can get the ball in the right areas and deliver would be more apt?
