Official January Transfer Window Thread

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

What does the final table look like ska?

Carnage, I suspect.

I hope that none of the new signings read the Fishy, because 90% of the readership have written them off already, without giving them any chance on the playing field.

Less than 2 years ago, many were asking why Harry was still worth his place, but now he is "one of our own !"

Give these new signings a fair chance, please !!

Some absolute melts posting moaning tripe on this thread.
Back the boys. UTM

Quoted from Swansea_Mariner

But equally just because we were abject when we had Fenty doesn't mean we should  just accept substandard once again.

Not saying we should, I’m saying we’ve had windows that we thought were ‘exciting’ and they didn’t do us any good in the end

I’ve not seen one person write off the players, it’s people questioning the transfer strategy of the football club and absolutely rightly so.

Don’t dress something as it isn’t to avoid the fair question

It’s….not good mate. Everyone took an absolute hammering - Hagrid mendonca1995 and LocalLadGTFC absolutely nuked their reputations, a dry spell for previous undisputed tipster surrey97 who did just about enough to keep above water but was beaten to the punch on Lloyd by fishcake63. We even had conflicting reports about who we were, and weren’t, in for from other previous table-toppers. A real mess so people have about 5 months to get their sources in order ahead of the summer.

I think the thread has gone about as well as could be expected in the circumstances. Most took it in good spirits as intended, some genuinely funny spells of activity and (apart from one or two days when people couldn’t ignore a troll) it’s generally been a decent read. Absolutely fúck all use in terms of rumours though, you’d be better asking any woman on the street.

See you all on June 1st, utm.

In reality probably only two of the signings Emmanuel and O’Neil have a chance of starting and even that might be unfair of Efete after his performance at Luton. If Taylor and Khan were fit I doubt O’Neil would start so these signings are basically squad fillers which are required but unlikely to significantly improve on what we have.

As always happy to be proved wrong.

Results will show us how good this window has been .

Give the plaýers a chance before saying its been poor.

Think all as been said this thread now needs locking

I think that’s a bit unfair on Lloyd. I’ve never seen him play but he’s 22 and played 80 odd games in this league and the one above, including 13 games this season. The lad from Norwich is highly thought of too, may end up being rubbish but it could really click for him here.

It’s still a disappointing window but its hard to really asses it till we see how good these players are.
