Transfer Window January 2024 Transfer Window Thread

“Did someone say Goodwin?”

No wonder it took a while to announce - how on earth do they come up with these one-liners?!

Apparently it was supposed to be announced yesterday but he kept walking in saying "Hi, my name's Will!" instead of the given line. Don't think we can blame to club for this one.

CONFIRMED!
GOODWIN!

”Goodwin has been recovering from a minor quad injury and will complete his rehabilitation with the club’s medical team before joining the squad for full training at the end of the month.“

 

[MJB]

Just want to extend a warm welcome to Will and wish him all the best at the club.

I would also like to take a moment to remind all other fans that if he does bring his sister to watch our games, I would like the first crack at chatting her up. Please do not talk to her until she has either accepted or rejected my approach.

Thank you.

Great news he’s signed, but oh boy we’ve got 4 tough games in the next 11 days, hope there’s another striker lined up.

 

[Bicester Yellow]

James Henry at wing-back.

That’s not surprising them, that’s giving them a gift.

The recruitment strategy is becoming more and more apparent every window: legs made of breadsticks.

Only kidding, hope he recovers quickly and can’t wait to see us finally have an option who is something a little bit different upfront.

 

[Osei Yaw]

Do we get a discount off the £400k if he only has one working leg?

Well done to Des and Waldron, the club finally land and out and out striker with real potential - something our last two or three managers have failed to do bar the securing the easy signing of Matty Taylor.

“Having spoken with the gaffer, I was really impressed by what he’s doing here and the club’s vision. I know this is the right place for the next stage of my career and can’t wait to get started.”

That can't be so, the players' were taking the P**s out of him previously weren't they?

 

[Oufccraig45]

Thats what des was on a bout making it easier for the cobblers Oh dear 400k and can't play to whenever when we need fit players ASAP not unless someone else is lined up

They cut it short, full quote was:

“Having spoken with the gaffer, I was really impressed by what he’s doing here and the club’s vision. I know this is the right place for the next stage of my career and can’t wait to get started. At least I think it was the gaffer. Hard to tell. He was hiding under the table.”

He originally said "Having spoken with Casper..." but it was edited by our comms team.

These bloody kids and their knowledge of Casper the friendly ghost.

If he isn't even joining training till the end of the month, then I reckon the earliest we'll see him is the Blackpool game on the 10th (assuming it'll take a couple of weeks of training to get to full match fitness).

That leaves 5 games we still only have Harris & O'Donkor as striking options if we don't bring another in.

Good signing in the longer term. Lots of potential.

Bit concerning that 2 of our 4 signings might not contribute for a significant part of the season mind!

I genuinely can't read this.

Til he starts training. And that's assuming it all goes well. To be fair, we are usually pretty accurate at forecasting return from injury. Edwards, Browne, Baldock, Leigh, Thorne, Henry have all been spot on.
