Ronnie Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 SC is hoping to bring in six new players during January, talks with some of them have already started. I don't know if any have to leave to make this happen but l guess there will be departures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Well with only 46% of our wage budget meeting used and hopefully Fontaine and Kilkenny off our books soon he should be able to strengthen the team. Makes me wonder why money was not made available to SOD during the summer.. Seems like the club were being far too cautious, impacting on the calibre of player we could bring in... Just hope we do not get sucked into paying inflated January prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also McLaughlin gone, O'Connor going, decisions to be made on Shorey, Gillett and Osborne before we get to the likes of JET and Elliott. There should be far more scope this January than previous ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 SIX!!! Bloody hell. FFP Going straight out the window then McLaughlin gone, won't be paying for O'Connor after Jan, imagine Shorey will not be retained, Gillett will return to Forest at end of loan, same as the Millwall defender we have on loan, there is 5 spaces and wages freed up.

Nibor Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I have to admit I'm fairly terrified of the thought of Cotterill making six signings. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Nothing like having an open mind eh?Yeah I can't claim to be open minded about Cotterill. I know quite a bit about him and I'll leave it at that. I'd genuinely love to be wrong.In any case, bringing in six players in January is far too much change mid season in my opinion.

Robbie_Turner Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I have to admit I'm fairly terrified of the thought of Cotterill making six signings. I hope I'm wrong. What terrified he might bring 6 players in that might have us threatening to win a match you mean ??? Why don't you give the bloke a chance?? He can't do any worse than the miserable git before him. Things can't get much worse. The board have backed him - time we did the same ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 What terrified he might bring 6 players in that might have us threatening to win a match you mean ???No, terrified he might bring in 6 players who are not what we need on long contracts that we're lumbered with.Why don't you give the bloke a chance?? He can't do any worse than the miserable git before him.Things can't get much worse. The board have backed him - time we did the same ?I will give him a chance, I have no choice, but I have very little faith in him for good reason.It can definitely get worse than it was under SOD - the last home game was a step backwards from the Orient game for example - so don't speak too soon.Like I said, I'll be very happy to be wrong.

Kid in the Riot Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Shocking piece of management to be honest announcing there will be "big changes" halfway through a season. Especially with many youngsters - hardly a confidence booster. I don't disagree we need a few players (not sure about 6) but to go public with it is daft.

Strictly Obi Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I hope whoever we bring in the Jan window is on a short term or loan signing! I think Nibor is right, we can ill afford the mistakes of the past! Some of you seem to have very short memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every comment and every action is going to be slagged off. Have you actually read what I said? I don't disagree we need players that's bloody obvious. It's going public that I think is a schoolboy error. That's my opinion, nothing more. Don't see the big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
