Summer would've been the time to sign the posh players, can't see anyone too extravagant wanting to join a mid-table club in the current climate.
Next time, let’s have a go with the full squad in place and without starting with a ten point deficitBizarrely we aren't out of the play off picture if we keep our form up over the rest of the season (assuming it is completed).
I put that figure as if we are buying Cadden I don't think less than £400,000 , add the same amount for a position we need ( LW/RW ) and a cheaper centre back and then wages ......I seriously doubt we'd be spending £1m even if we signed a couple for fees.

We've needed a good RB/LB pairing for about 5 years. If we get Obita settled and Cadden in- watch this space. We'll be transformed and we'll fly with this squad. Long and Ruffs are solid/dependable but only that really.
Long can be excellent defensively- the only way either of our side backs ever push beyond 'fine'.

Makes sense when its to protect under 18s (age group youth football).I guess there’s an exception for league football, you’re not allowed to employ female players either. I think the squad cap will be challenged though
Is that true or is the reality that none of the ladies would cut it at League level? Genuine question. There are female officials after all.I guess there’s an exception for league football, you’re not allowed to employ female players either. I think the squad cap will be challenged though
Ha good question! I don’t think it’s allowed, the competition is for men, and the women’s one is for women. But it could be challenged in court I’m sure.Is that true or is the reality that none of the ladies would cut it at League level? Genuine question. There are female officials after all.
So we sign Cadden and we consign Long to the bench? That’s harshOh god, I'm really torn this transfer window. Part of me wants to tweak things - with the priority being a physical centre back, but the other part wants to see Hall, Eastwood, Hanson, Sykes, Kelly, Mousinho and Osei Yaw leave the club and for us bring in 3 or 4 who will push us on.
With the Cadden thing, he isn't what I considered a priority a few weeks ago but Ive changed my mind. Having Cadden on the books allows us to do something we haven't been able to do so far - and thats to have an outlet springing forward from deep to get us out of the midfield chaos. One of the things I have noticed about us this season is that we look quite narrow and easy to press. Cadden gives any man with the ball a good option due to his mobility and instinct to go and stand on their left back - creating the overloads we need in order to win games. If its true that the Cam Brans, Kellys and Mcguanes have a good range of passing, its imperative we have individuals in the team who will allow them to demonstrate this, otherwise its pointless having them.
That’s a poor excuseUltimately you want as many players as possible in your squad that opposition managers will set up to stop. Opposition teams probably aren’t going to be overly worried about Sam Longs effect on the game. During his time here though Cadden was causing serious problems for the opposition and they would set up to stop him effecting the game. We need as many of them players as possible.
I suspect it’s not possible because the flip side if it was allowed is you’d have a lot of men who wanted a match fee taking up spaces in female squads to the detriment of their players.Ha good question! I don’t think it’s allowed, the competition is for men, and the women’s one is for women. But it could be challenged in court I’m sure.
Not if the January signings are made with a view of next season. We brought in Atkinson last January and look what a key player he is now.Summer would've been the time to sign the posh players, can't see anyone too extravagant wanting to join a mid-table club in the current climate.
Not necessarily...Long has stepped up to the plate, and can play across the back line. Cadden is a really good player though who would help us achieve championship football.So we sign Cadden and we consign Long to the bench? That’s harsh
Well if we can get Cadden on a long term deal then yes definitely. If it’s loan till end of season I wouldnt botherNot if the January signings are made with a view of next season. We brought in Atkinson last January and look what a key player he is now.
