League One January transfers thread

[DearneValleyRover]

There will be signings this summer and possibly one before Friday

Before Friday? Bloody Hell, I hope we're not being too hasty!

Yeah but please note that he only said “possibly”.

It doesn’t mean it isn’t happening though

Too many people speak in riddles on here.
I suppose I could say there could well be a really good player signing for us in the next couple of days.
If it happens I would be able to say I told you so.
If it doesn’t I would be able to say that i only said it could be happening.

[DearneValleyRover]

No riddles at all

[Donnybob]

Don't suppose anyone has considered that potential signings might read this board to see what sort of fan base they will be expected to please and had second thoughts.

Manager clearly has no idea, taken us as far as he can, board has no ambition, player falls out of favour - get rid, cheap option club, relegation budget, going nowhere, etc, etc.

Obviously one win later and it's our year again, play-off at least, good enough for top two.

I mean, would you ...

No, and if it does happen I’d not sure I’d want someone with that mentality playing for us anyway. First time he gets a dodgy shout from the crowd he’d be sulking and faking injuries.

I don’t understand why people think that our fans are any different to fans of other clubs with thoughts and comments.

So Hoden's latest piece supports what S_M has been saying all along. There is no problem. Swipes at the board, GB, Blunt etc are unfounded.

Let's jusr see what evolves.

[Donny Exile in York]

So plan A is waiting to see if Idah becomes available again and plan B is probably one of the other names banded about and denied to date.. the Shrewsbury or Southend forwards... that's my take on it without the vision others on here have..

The word is Patience. It’s in very short supply. All will be well. DM has it all under control. The board are backing him etc etc etc.
Maybe all the concern is unfounded. Well that’s a shock. Not.

How do you work that out.?

DM said the other day that his targets hadn’t been identified in the media..

[steve@dcfd]

Donny Exile did you read the article

“His ‘Plan A’, for want of a better term, is still active and remains a distinct possibility. Multiple deals, dependent on each other for Moore’s overall plan and triggered by each other.

Moore is comfortable with the wait, preferring not to divert his attention and miss out on his top choices - those who he sees as most right for the club - due to his own actions.”

“And is he also confident he can quickly enact ‘Plan B’ if required in the final days of the window.”

So his Plan A is not one player and his plan B is not either.

It’s what SM said one player in could then trigger other actions. What those actions are we wait and see when the trigger is pulled.

[Alan Southstand]

IF the trigger is pulled?

[Donny Exile in York]

Still think Idah is part of plan A.. and not great playing poker til so late in the window dependent on other deals triggering the possibility of our deals.. meanwhile another game against Sunderland will no doubt go by with no strengthening and a relatively weak bench beyond a good first IX..

I can only think that DM doesn't want to bring only one forward in and it might be a case of two in at once but I admit I have absolutely no clue why one deal would have a knock on affect for another or multiple deals stevedrfc.. your guess is as good as mine..

Would be happy with the Southend or Shrewsbury lad or both.. albeit I would hope Humphrys is not Curtis Main Mark 2..

[steve@dcfd]

I’ll keep my paper dry what I think about one deal affecting other deals I have my own idea but we will see how or if it works out.

Please tell me you had your tongue firmly in your cheek when you wrote that post?

Jeez.....it takes me all my effort & a whisky or two before visiting the site these days!

Just an opinion.. you are allowed those on here!

[IDM]

Having an opinion isn’t the issue..

But if you express something that warrants questioning, it’s ok to question isn’t it.?

[Donny Exile in York]

Its an uneducated guess... that's all it is but I make no bones about it.. however if its multiple deals then I wont even try to guess.. all will come out in the wash by 31st January should we sign anyone.

[IDM]

I can’t even begin to guess - will find out when anything gets announced.!

[Wild Rover]

Deals are done, agreement has been reached. Now it's just a matter of timing, e.g. who comes in first will affect the deals that follow.

These must be "Loan" deals then Martin.

[Retdon1]

Could today be the day

[Alan Southstand]

There are several scenario’s as to what may trigger anything. But one such scenario could be that if we sign ‘prime candidate A’, off the A list, and he is a loan, then that could trigger (say) the other deals, whether off lists A, B or Z, becoming permanent, as we’d have our maximum 5 loans.

Just a thought.

Another scenario could be 3 in, 1 out, or any other combination.

I don't think you'd be far off.  Likely that Prime target A is agreed but dependant on his clubs other business. That would then determine financially which other targets fall into place.

Likely Plan A or Plan B could be activated quickly. Both plans could contain A list players! Ha ha!!

I have no idea but don’t forget during the first half of the season we had 6 loanees.. the maximum of 5 is only in any one matchday squad.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we should have that many, but in theory we could get a couple more in on loan..

He might have meant keep his Toilet Paper dry?  You wouldn't expect him to wipe his bum with wet Toilet Paper now, would you

are you thinking that the "one deal affecting others" means that we are waiting for Whiteman's move to Hull before funds are released to enable us to buy some players?.............
