Transfer Window January 2024 Transfer Window Thread

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

If we're signing someone who is injured, then perhaps we've learnt nothing...

So if he has a minor knock lose out on signing him ?

 

[Jster]

Josh Murphy has had a minor knock for about 18 months as far as I can tell!

 

[Whingit]

This have we signed a player or haven't we is seriously getting on my nerves now to the degree of an anti climax

There's been little to no leaks from the club all transfer window and for this one the leaks have come from the Cheltenham side. Imo the club shouldn't change how they've been operating just because information is coming out via the other party.

 

[PottersRightBoot]

Much too good for L2. In spells he was the best player to wear the shirt for us last year, including at MK to haul us out the gutter in the second half. I'd have him back here in a heartbeat to rotate with our midfielders and that doesn't mean to say you forego the obvious need for a more defensive midfielder, but Bate would add fantastic depth for us. Real shame he's had to drop a level below where he ought to be as a minimum by now.

Respectfully disagree. L2 is his level.

 

[Chippy]

He's been suffering with a thigh injury, which will likely be the reason

As John McEnroe would say “YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS”

 

[Eaststanding]

I must admit, the communication about Will Goodwin has been appalling, if we’ve signed him, release a statement.
If we’ve signed someone else too, then great, but at least drop us a few tantalising crumbs.

Appalling?! What, the appalling lack of information about nothing to announce…..?
Perhaps those claiming to be in the know aren’t as in the know as some thought or perhaps there just isn’t anything to announce yet?
Take a breath…

Like I said previously, its Cheltenham's call first, maybe they want to announce a signing coinciding with the Goodwin departure.

I totally disagree with this. Loans yes. But if we are coughing up 400k, surely it's our right to announce the second the ink is dry?

 

[Mystery Yellow]

I don’t think Bate stops us from falling apart when Brannagan isn’t on the field. He’s a McGuane replacement.

I’ve said before if we could get rid of McEachran & replace him with Bate that’s a vast upgrade (in that position) Bate wouldn’t be the replacement I would want for McGuane a different type of player

Perfect scenario would be McGuane Brannagan + Bate (replace McEachran) & DCM to come in.

Some of you lot need to calm the hell down. Take a deep breath!

Exactly.

I heard that Charlton actually offered more than us but wanted to announce it straight away, whereas we agreed that Cheltenham could dictate when the announcement was even once the contract is signed and he's our player and nothing to do with Cheltenham.

Christ on a bike! Where did you 'hear' that? Really?

It'll be the North Stand toilets.

In the recent Dub, when asked by Ben Purkiss about the recent defeat to the cobblers, Des said he will change things around to surprise them. So withholding the signing may be a tactic with tomorrow's formation in mind. Just a wild uninformed guess

James Henry at wing-back.

 

[Front Post]

Very sensible decision if not in the squad at the weekend. He's played 49minutes in the last 5 games due to a bit of injury.
No need to throw him in and risk - shows we're learning after the Browne & Edwards cases this season.

Was told that Cheltenham have been a bit slow on the paperwork/agreeing an announcement front, perhaps as they're trying to get a replacement in.

Will be 2pm today though.

 

[Lescottsforehead]

There you go, now hopefully the bedwetters can relax for a minute

Here we go

 

[Jster]

I've already heard from a Cheltenham fan that he's injury prone, so the possibility that he's already injured just makes me think "oh no, not again". Hope it's not true

Perhaps we’re waiting to get a replacement in for the injured new signing as well?

Not trying to be negative but if true what an absolute anti climax to the week?
