Never comfortable on the whole "waiting for other clubs to conclude their business before we can lock-in ours" situation, but them's the breaks when you're League One trying to pinch a Championship player in Jan. Particularly if it's a striker.
Fingers crossed though, eh?
So far, I'd say I'm happy with this window:
GK - Cumming - Loan
We acted well in bringing Cumming in quickly upon Beadle's recall. His injury on Tuesday was unfortunate, but not injured at time of transfer, and hopefully be back quickly.
LB - Bennett - Permanent (free)
Sensible contact til the end of the season. Once again, unfortunate to have picked up injury, but wasn't injured when signed.
LW/RW/ST - Burey - Loan
Still needs minutes, but looks a good addition. We were after him in the summer, so clearly not a "let's get any old winger in on loan".
RW - Dale - Permanent (paid a fee)
To be seen, but has been playing at another League One playoff-hopeful, so exciting that we've been able to pinch him.
LW - Edwards - Permanent (free)
Clearly just getting him on our books so we can help him with his rehab and keep him as part of the squad for his inevitable summer signing. Might possibly get some games towards the end of the season. Very good player at this level.
ST - Goodwin - Permanent (paid a fee)
Big, strong and young striker, with lots of potential and will offer us something different up top. Shame about his injury, but glad it was picked up in the medical to avoid playing him and causing further damage. Clearly a lot of work put into signing him, and not a "let's just get a striker in" signing.
So yes, of those signings 4 are currently injured and one is still not quite ready for 90 minutes, but they are all good players, and these seem to be one-off injuries as opposed to the old habit of signing crocs.
If we get this final striker in over the line tonight (presumably on loan) I'll be very happy.
