January transfer window is open. January transfer window is a risk. January transfer window is no good cos few players are available. January transfer window is a good time to refresh. January transfer window creates inbalance in the air. January transfer window needs to be accessed early on as only dross is left after 19th. January transfer window is an opportunity for the ambitious to flourish. January transfer window is more UPVC than aluminum. January transfer window should be moved to April. January transfer window is smashed by hools. January transfer window is a reet good laf. January transfer window is visible in space. January transfer window is a wretched curse. January transfer window is like annual sex, over too soon. January transfer window is closed.

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.
Callum Morton to Salford would have ticked a lot of boxes for us.

Possibly, what about the injury record though. Not for me on that basis, we are already carrying Eppiah.

Patience is a virtue in this window, one quality signing could be under contract until 2025.

He will be on about 3 times the wages we are able to pay.
When KT says there is money - he is talking pocket money to buy sweeties .

We’re a couple of decent players away from getting out of this league.

If there’s money available as per KTs comments, it would be a sin not give it our best shot.

It's a difficult one though, isn't it? You could get a quality player prepared to sign but if he comes in swanning around like Billy Big Bollocks and you think he'll unsettle the close knit squad we already have then are they worth it? We shouldn't be just signing people because they are available, they have to fit into the bigger picture that Brady is painting.

Yeah,  I'd love us to sign a proven goalscorer who will hit the ground running, fit right in and fire us to promotion but if we don't end up signing anyone I won't be jumping up and down about it either. I think Brady has earned our trust and we should place that trust in him doing the right thing rather than the popular thing.

That hypothetical situation has to be the sole responsibility of the management team to make sure the harmony of the squad.

No shock here mate, KT’s endless spin doesn’t wash with me and I think a few more are beginning to wake up to the fact.

Couldn’t agree more with this. It has to be the right player, it has to be the right price, they have to have the right character and not a disrupter. Combine getting those things right with lots of money being splashed by our league and even the league below it’s not surprising we may have missed out on targets or the right players aren’t available. The people begging for a signing would also be the first people to send moaning posts on here when we waste money on the wrong person. Having been worried about our future a few seasons back I’ll take having a decent squad that starts to regularly challenge and hopefully achieves promotion than have a chairman or club that spends what they don’t have and we have that worry again of getting into trouble! Personally think everyone had done enough to earn our trust they are doing the best for the club.

Whoever signs will have his performance picked apart by the usual experts, the club will be lambasted for lack of ambition, it'll all be KT's fault for only spending pocket money, because someone says that's all the budget is. Every transfer window is the same

I think the situation in a nutshell is as follows :
No money available to bring in good quality players that are not kids .
JB doesn’t want to bring in make weights and be left with them just to cover injuries .
Injuries in defence so severe it is likely to cost us results .
The ambition of the board doesn’t match the ambition of the management team .
We are likely to stay as we are , muddle through and hope players come back sooner . In the meantime we lose momentum and slip back rather than surge forward .

You keep saying about these additional injuries in defence - is there a reason you’re not naming names? Surely if the ambitions of the Managerial team didn’t match those of the Board they wouldn’t all have signed new deals the other week?

Genuine question Boots, would you rather use the budget to offer a longer contract to a player who is of proven value to both the squad and your plans. Alternatively would you rather pay significantly for a player with a proven track record like say Marquis or Hylton? Of course the third option is to increase your loses from a million per annum to about 2 million and do both? If you were worth say 30 million what would you do?
