What's the development of the stand got to do with transfers? Why not use the redev thread which has about a million pages  and has become a complete bore?

I thought this was about the window. In the west stand.

This transfer thread has only about 3 actual transfer rumours 😂 I guess this is partly due to the club keeping cards quite rightly close to their chest rather having targets leaked like in previous years. What are peoples thoughts on our search for an additional striker? With it being so quiet do we think we’ve missed out on initial targets to other clubs or have we had to change our approach due to injuries?

I would rather have one quality striker for the long term rather 2 short term defensive covers!

He is 5' 10"! Hardly little!
Not him! He means the little blonde haired lad, went in goal when their keeper got sent off!

Interesting article here claims to list the Top 20 highest earners in League 2

Josh Eppiah only Cobblers player here but I would be shocked if we were paying 100% of those wages

Fraser Horsfall listed as #10 highest paid and one of the highest not on loan from a higher division
£4300 pw

They must be the parent club wages. Can't see Col U paying £24k a week.

Presuming those figures to be accurate (and we have reason to believe the one's relevant to us are) Josh has got one heck of an incentive to outperform for us if he is going to be able to maintain his standard of living in the future.

Both i guess,
what we need and what we get are never the same in any transfer window with us,

well one policy seems fairly obvious, Fox, Magloire, Appere, Sherring, Odimayo, Koiki, Lintott. All good athlete's, under 24 with potential sell on value.

Would be interesting to see what Wrexham and Notts County are paying in National League. On the Wrexham doc the chief exec stated that there is a premium to get players to drop to that level. So in effect if they get promoted their wages would be a bit less?

The policy is young athletes with pace and energy .
Hylton was the exception and look what he has offered .
I reckon JB would take an experienced head at the back right now without thinking about it though .
Eppiah is on that sort of money but we pay a fraction towards it . I hope he hasn’t spent it because he will be on a third or much less next season !
The figures given in that survey also exclude signing on fees . Horsfall got just short of 6 figures .

I'm with you on this one and the whole article is rather unfortunate. It clearly suggests that other clubs have outbid us for players we wanted, and by trying too hard not to criticise Max Dyche, JB actually achieves the opposite.

Having said that, I'm pretty impressed with most of the players JB has brought in so far, so will keep my fingers crossed he will find us a couple of good'uns before the window closes.

Let’s hope so, not sure which I’d prefer, a young hungry striker or an experienced old head at the back?

It's a cliche but the January window is a nightmare.  Poeple paying well over the odds mostly in desperation to fix a nightmare first half of the season.  Short termism at the cost of long term financial stability.

It's boring but there is no point having a recruitment policy if we aren't got to stick with it.  Especially as I believe it's worked pretty well so far.  Just got to hold your nerve.

If we are top scorers but conceding more then it would seem logical to reinforce at the rear.

You would have thought so; for extra measure we might need a decent lump up front especially as Hylton’s form has me despairing of him.
