They’ve always said they would only sign someone who improved upon what we currently have. I’ve not seen that many players traded at our level that fit that bill so far? Signing players for the sake of it in the past has turned out to be counter productive. So it’s worth pointing out that nothing would have often been better than something.
You mean like Collins, Marquis and Holmes? There’s plenty of quality players out there, and the likes of Gillingham and Col U have been making some very good additions.

Is there one of that standard available then?

Johnson would be a very good signing for Northampton, get goals assists etc. go get him. Also Mansfield late March would be best.

Of course there is, if the money is there, which is should be after the Chucks money from Villa.

So who would you have signed that Gillingham or Colchester signed to replace who in our squad? With respect I don’t see any signings this January that I particularly wish had signed for us. As I said you change for the sake of it, but I don’t see anyone that significantly better than what we have already. I just think these knee jerk signings are often counter productive although there are exceptions as you have pointed out.

Exactly this - they smack of the types of signing we panic bought when we were struggling and had a bit of cash to flash. They might get lucky with 1 or 2, but most will just be back on the merry-go-round at the end of the season. I'd much rather the club so what they are doing and invest in commiting existing players who are proven and established in the squad both in terms of playing and personality, ensuring that the dressing room is right. If we were to do what Gills/ColU are doing right now, the same people would be complaining about that. Got to feel sorry for them really, can't be easy when everything is always terrible.

I’m still waiting on B&S to tell us who else was out on Saturday - as far as I am aware we still had Lintott, Odimayo, Guthrie (assuming he was OK after his illness), Koiki, Dyche and Haynes available for selection?

There are 10 defenders in the first team squad of 23. How many should we have?

How much would a club expect to get after "selling" a 12 year old player? I thought it was a standard compensation around £40,000 That is assuming you mean Carney. I doubt there was much money involved around Caleb.
