Also spurs have recalled Dane Scarlett from his loan at Ipswich…. If they do the same with Rodon we are feked.
If we want promotion, we invest, if we want to stay at this level and continue to get 36k but what teams like Villa and Brighton get into Europe, then don't invest. We are a couple of fresh faces away, we need a lift imo. The bench looks uninspiring minus Gnonto. Need a left back, centre mid (unless Gruev turns up) and a striker to come off the bench that isn't a kid or Bamford. Man for man we're the best side in the league, but lack of consistency, depth/rotation is costing us.
Everyone saying don’t expect much in Jan.
So, I’m not expecting much inbound.
I fully expect us to not see any outbounds as well.
Yep, maybe (timing good for transfers) … but we all heard DF saying Jan was going to be quiet … I guess we’ll just have to wait and see👍
Manager keeps saying he likes the squad, and that left back is only the position he wants to bring in.
What are people not getting 🤷🏻♂️
Who you bringing in, that fully match fit, that a team will let go, and which position are you replacing 🤷🏻♂️
It aint champ manager.
Mes - No
Spence - No
Rodon - No
Struyk- No
amptadu - No
Kamara - No
James - No
Sommerville - No
Piroe - No
Rutter - No
So what we doing, just squad filling 🤦
So injuries, suspensions, fatigue and loss of form don't exist then LIW? Its a squad game, and we don't use ours.
It's not about replacing the first XI. It's about making
this squad better. Maybe Farke isn't rotating because
outside of Gnonto, what help does he have on bench?
Game against Preston subs were:
Gnonto - excellent
Darlow - good/forced into action because Mes lost it
Anthony - good player
Byram - excellent but injury prone
Gruev - good but for some reason not getting much time
Joseph - good prospect
These players aren't good enough any more:
Firpo - garbage/needs to be moved on
Cooper - mistake prone/aging/injury prone
Bamford - garbage/offers nothing but pouts
Others
Shacks - Love him but we can do better
Poveda - needs to move on
Gelhardt - needs to move on
Ayling - needs to move on
Gyabi - AWOL
Hjelde - AWOL
Dallas - needs to move on
Cresswell - not sure what's happening with him
People really happy to sit on their hands in
January when we could add depth and quality
to that first XI? If we do, an already gassed
and leggy first XI will get driven into the ground.
Three fresh faces that offer real quality off the
bench or in the first XI will make the difference.
Left Back is a must.
Let Farke worry about where they fit in.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats my point, we dont use ours, so why get more 🤷🏻♂️
Unless some players go out, we aint bringing anyone in bar a left back.
I ll put it another way, can we improve on, thus improve the options to change the game or try something different than;
Darlow - Don't need to but yes
Firpo - Yes
Cresswell - Yes
Cooper - Yes
Ayling - Yes
Shackleton - Yes
Geldhart - Yes
Bamford - Yes
Gruev - Probably
Anthony - Probably
Gnonto - No
So lets replace half the squad mid season. 🤦
I’ll say it again, it aint champ manager,
Maybe some people just have too much Christmas pud wedged between their ears or just don’t read what’s posted. A few fresh faces or two or three quality additions is and has never been replacing half a fcking squad.
who are these quailty players, who are coming in, fully match fit 🤷🏻♂️
How many times have these signings worked for us.
Whos willing to sell these players 🤷🏻♂️
Did the 49ers have full control of the club at the start of the season, if I'm not mistaken the season had already started before they took full control, and with nobody knowing who was going in such a short time, how many players can be on the books before you can bring new in?..
We had to get shut before we could bring in, and that might be a problem in January, to bring in we'll have to get rid, but there are one or two loan players rumored coming back, the club might be looking for others, but that could change some of their dealings!..
Yes, let’s have some names!
Yes, let’s have some names!
who are these quailty players, who are coming in, fully match fit 🤷🏻♂️
^^^
So, do absolutely nothing then?
Meanwhile, anyone want to plunk money down on
whether or not Leicester, Ipswich, Southampton,
WBA, Sunderland...anyone with half a chance...
will take this same white flag, lying face down
approach to January's window?
Every other team with a shot at promotion,
is going to be active and adding players in January.
But we should do nothing because of past failures?
Just sit back and rely on our starting XI who already
look like they need a week or two of rest. Yeah, let's do
nothing at all.
Because we already have the greatest 100 pt/100 goal
Championship squad ever assembled. So good
that 6-8 of those players can't be shifted due to them
being paid more than they're worth? In Bamford's
case a King's ransom for fck all return.
Just a sentimental trip down memory lane every now
and again and a new hairdo. People are right,
this isn't Champ manager.
Thank God. And if the 49ers/Farke are truly set on
getting promotion, they better do all they can to bring
in players who can improve what we have as a squad.
Names? We have actual pros in that department at
the club who do this for a living. Who's job it is to
identify and sign them. Paid well to keep the club up
with or ahead of our rivals for promotion. Again,
thank God it isn't a bunch of fans playing Champ
manager, lying face down insisting we can't do nowt.
We're 4th and way off autos.
We need to do something in January. Madness not to.
Batty the manager already said more than once, he’s happy with squad apart from left back.
Look at last January, Mckennie and Rutter, absolutely garbage.
This season both playing really well 🤷🏻♂️
Simply because it is so hard for players too come in January and hit straight off.
Why you think the top clubs, rarely do it, but the basket case clubs, Everton, skum and chelsea do it, and it never works.
Yeah am sure the club are looking at it, but highly likely not to do much, unless something great comes up, which is rare.
The reasons why.
No preseason, for player to get used to systems, tactics, formations etc.
Clubs dont want to sell regulars
Players who arent regulars, arent match fit.
clubs wont let players go without bringing in some else, causing a chain.
Player, might have to move, sort family out etc etc. All takes time effort.
Loan players who only coming for 20 games, under motivated.
Its an absolute mindfield, and one where clubs fail.
The side and squad is good enough, just need to the manager to manage it better
Batty, it has been brought up a lot of times that because of the farce at the start of the season nobody knows what could have been, if it hadn't have been for some dumbass deals that fecked everything up we might have had a complete different team now!..
Players going out went a little late, meaning they were registered as being part of our team, so team at the time at full strength meant whoever the 49ers were looking at couldn't come in!..
It should be mentioned that in the bit of time they had they did a decent job of getting some decent players in, but with players leaving and the club getting nothing for them, how much will that have set us back?..
People saying Farke says nothing will happen in January, most clubs say nothing will happen in January, and the people in charge now I don't think are as dumb as the crap that followed Ridsdale!..
Agree with you on this one Batty for most of the reasons stated.
Another left back option could make a world of difference in this window and potentially strengthen us in both full back positions.
Two really smart targeted acquisitions in the right areas would really help. Nobody said finding these players is easy but it can be done and our rivals will absolutely be looking to strengthen.It is not some kind of mystical science. There are players out there who can improve these squad. I don't know who they are but we pay people to do this work and based on the work they did in the summer they did it well.
I know I am an idiot, but why does the club need to get rid of some players? Surely, if the club carried extra players till the end of the season to improve the chance of promotion it might be a good idea. Normally, it takes time for a player to settle in, Kiltch and Rutter being cases in point. Does anyone remember a player who hit the ground running, well Cantona and Yeboah, but they were not recruited in the normal way. They both had fallen out with their clubs. Leeds were just lucky to sign them.
"Gruev - good but for some reason not getting much time"
Is there some other Gruev playing that I've missed?
Yeboah didn't fall out with his club, Leeds made an offer they didn't refuse!..
He was their top scorer and the fans player of the year a couple of times, they even offered him a hell of a pay rise, but the pull of English football and what Leeds offered him took him away!..
I said at the time I couldn't believe we were getting him!..
