League One January transfers thread

[IDM]

Alan, on several occasions we see post match write ups in the DFP quoting DM with the same words from the radio Sheffield interviews.. and there is absolutely nowt wrong with that - it’s right that Liam should use those quotes.

Therefore yesterday when Liam wrote in the DFP a different and contradictory angle to what was on RS, it was open to question.  From my point of view I though Liam may have misquoted from the RS interview - not misquoted DM from his own talks.

Now Liam has tweeted his source, that clears matters up.

Liam wouldn’t normally need to publish his audio because normally there isn’t a discrepancy between his reports and the radio interviews.

The transfer activity is such a hot potato, which is why these sort of things are scrutinised so closely.   For me, it’s not about suggesting a journalist is wrong..

I may be wrong but liams article was published before the radio Sheffield one so maybe he had no reason to publish the audio and then when he saw the backlash this morning he thought he had best do so to stop the grief he was getting

[IDM]

That’s my point - this is such a touchy subject that it makes sense for Liam to say this was from a different interview.

Then the issue isn’t the reports or the tweets, more why there is s different story in the first place.?

Quite right. I listened to the RS interview first, then came on here and wondered what all the fuss was about. I asked if someone could point me to Hoden's article which seemed at odds with what I'd heard. I certainly didn't throw any accusations about without questioning and asked others to listen to the RS interview.

Unfortunately, that's led to Hoden hearing via twitter that someone had accused him of printing false quotes. I haven't seen a direct accusation of that on here.

Quite rightly in response, Hoden published the clip to clear that up.

What DM is quoted as saying about prevention rather than cure etc looks very very similar to what he said in the RS interview. 

But that isn't a contentious issue so no one would suggest Liam needs to domonstrate his source here.

That’s what I mean though
When he did his article it was the only one doing the rounds, only when RS released there’s did the problems arise.

[Alan Southstand]

Incoming?

 

[IDM]

Incoming?

 

After all that’s been posted on here from all angles Alan, do we really need a teaser.?

[Alan Southstand]

I thought it might get a bit of attention!

 

[dknward2]

Truth or wind up

[Alan Southstand]

Just a sniff of something on twitter. I know it’s not much to go on, and we’ve been here before, but let’s just hope for some good news. We bloody well need some!

[dknward2]

True Alan be nice to get someone in before tomorrow.

Just had a look and Norwich are expecting Pukki back for this weekend could that push idah back out

[IDM]

Maso

Mason’s “4 pm” tweet.?

That followed on he/she made a few minutes earlier asking about what trains folks were getting to Sunderland..

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Yeah would be nice to start the weekend on a very positive note.

In the meantime, hope you all enjoy the match tomorrow and we can talk about some actual football.

On viewing that link...has he broken his gear stick off?

[Retdon1]

Just read a report from the Gloucester version of the free press stating we’re interested in midfielder  Ed Williams from Kidderminster

[NickDRFC]

Just updated with Wycombe's signing they made on Saturday which I'd missed, which means that there are now only 4 clubs yet to make their move - us, Coventry, Accrington & Southend.

[dickos1]

Nobody is signing players though nick, it’s very hard in January

[Retdon1]

Burton have signed Jamie Murphy on loan from rangers.... decent signing for them

[ian1980]

Nobody is signing players though nick, it’s very hard in January

The list now includes 40 players just in our league alone....

I know DM is holding out for his “A List” players but I wonder how many of these are left or still available and also how long do we hold out for without risking not leaving enough time to deal with the “B List” players

[dickos1]

Thought it was obvious I was being sarcastic

[Alan Southstand]

We may as well just go to list x at this rate!

[Campsall rover]

The vast majority are loans. Yes it is difficult to get good quality permanent signings in January.
Whether you want to believe it or not is up to you.
Go and ask the 71 FL Club managers what they think. I know what their answer will be.

[drfchound]

Light the touch paper ?

[Campsall rover]

Light the touch paper ?

No i am not replying to his reply assuming it comes which is almost inevitable.
So no touch paper from me hound.

Just a strait forward opinion i have given on the availability of good quality permanent signings in January.
All opinions are welcome hound.

Burton have signed Jamie Murphy on loan from rangers.... decent signing for them

I remember when he played for us in the early 90s. Must be getting on a bit now.

I think the time to judge our performance in this window is the 1st Feb' when we know how we've done.

[Metalmicky]

I think this summarises DM's position on the possibility of new faces arriving at the building...

https://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/sport/football/darren-moore-talks-being-it-long-haul-doncaster-rovers-1370685

I think his references to the long haul, succession planning, continuation and building, suggest that he intends to wait until the right player/s are available.  It may not sit right with some of our more needy/desperate fans, but I think we need to accept this and wait for developments...
