I'm expecting loan cover in goal till January and maybe an extra player who can cover 2 positions should Sadlier go, probably also a loan but to the end of the season.
1 thing to take from this morning's BN transfer deadline blog is there's still a percentage transfer deal on Rob Holding. Thought old Ken had sold that to pay the paper bill.
That said I wouldn't be surprised if he left Arsenal for free in a year.
Ken sold out that sell on clause so nothing there. Both politic and Darcy have moved on from the clubs we sold them too so nothing there for us. Most of our young players just end up in non league and never progress further unfortunately. Re the keepers. Forget signing anyone. Hutchinson is back and should play against Salford. You will never know if you don't give them a chance.
Just seen the Hutchinson recall bit. Interestingly Evatt says it buys us time to see how many weeks Coleman is missing. If it's a bad one I can see us grabbing a freebie keeper.
Changes the dynamic of what we get today then.
Wouldn't be surprised to see nothing but if they pull a rabbit out of a hat that'd be a decent window all in all.
I'm still curious, did IE have Baxter on the bench midweek knowing Coleman was carrying an injury.
It wouldn't surprise me, if IE rolled the dice and lost again.
On the BN live transfer blog ref possibly our most exciting transfer item of the day: (Rob Holding being sold by Arsenal to Palace).
A few phone calls made. That potential Rob Holding move to Crystal Palace definitely the most exciting thing to appear on the radar. Haven't seen fees mentioned yet - but Bolton do still retain a small sell-on clause.
Turns up R Ken just sold the league apperances and international appearance fees to keep weirdo son in the same lifestyle as he wants.
We had 9 subs on Tuesday. Evatt named all his available players in the match day squad bar John and Sadlier.
Popped my head into the Bn blog. Genuinely think they've lost the plot.
There's literally nothing happening to report on Benny. They've got to do something.
Holding money expected to be about £100,000 max.
It's just a shame he didn't really keep up with his early promise down there.
Regarding Rob Holding's sell-on fee, Is it a fact that it is only 5%? From what I can see that could be a gues from a fan. If that is the case, let's hope that it is more than that.
Whatever it is, it will be good news. The club can then add it to the higher prices for match day tickets in our all-inclusive family football club.
It seems to me that the club seems to be trying to extract as much cash from supporters in every way they can. I really thought that the club were doing a decent thing by keeping prices low and attracting more supporters.
Let's hope that this policy doesn't come back to bite the club on the bottom.
On a none transfer related story, David Wheater has just announced his retirement. Still think it's a shame the way he ended up leaving, was a hell of a player for us.
The day ended with sadlier leaving having his contract cancelled so no now a free agent. Declan John signed on loan for Salford City until January. No incoming, leaves a first team squad of 22 which is effectively 21 with Johnston out for the season.
Mission accomplished; I've got square eyes from all those movies yesterday.
When does the January transfer window open and close? Who and what are we carrying over on the wanted and for sale lists.
After such a good transfer deadline day all that's left is to announce the sick bay is closed, it's made of dodgy concrete awaiting demolition prior to building a new one.
Small squad and a big match today, is that our usual recipe for an injury crisis and scratching around for free agents by Monday morning.
Evatt keeps coming out with the positives regarding our squad, the next few games including today's game will show us whether or not he has got it right.
My thoughts are as usual, we need that striker who can put the ball into the back of the net on a regular basis. Only Charles seems to be a twenty-goal a-season man and he misses more than he should.
