Do we need any major signings ?
If anything I would be tempted to let some loan players go back and fetch our young players through.
-
Our points and goals score a roughly the same and we’re only just above the drop zone .... what do you think . Sign a striker or no . Doh !
-
I’m not really understanding the condescending response you give. For me the strikers are, particularly Williams and Marquis are lacking a bit of confidence and a lack of quality supply from midfield. That doesnt automatically doesn’t mean bringing in another striker as the lack of supply would be the same if we had anyone up front.
I actually think we have the personnel to comfortably be safe in this league but we just need a system that suits. Recent performances suggest we are getting there and turning a corner. Doh
-
Sign Houghton!
-
Kongolo and Toffolo replaced?
Then add another experienced midfielder (24-27 bracket) and a proper right back/ right wing back.
Hopefully, Kiwomya could be our new striker.
Icing on cake - as above, sign Houghton on a 3 year deal.
-
Sign Neil Bishop.
-
Sign Neil Bishop.
Is that a wind up? He’s about 40 and he’s useless.
-
If a player is 24/27 does that automatically make him a better player than someone who is 18/19?
-

Judging on yesterday's game he's already preparing for his next career - as a referee!
-
I would think we a replacement for Williams, he's out for a while??
-
I think both full back positions need sorting. Signing Houghton on a permanent and maybe a loan striker who offers something different depending on Kiwomya
-
He has already said he wants a striker in January but only wants 2 players to as he said to twerk the squad, but I think we are starting to turn the corner
-
Kiwamya will still be our a while with what he has got
-
Priorities midfield player as above 24/27 bracket, striker because I don’t think we will see Williams again. Sign Houghton.Then hopefully a Right back and left back.
-
I would like to see a big solid centre back.
-
Sign Neil Bishop.

I always thought he was useless too but he bossed the league game.
Nice to see that was a one off and he was crap again yesterday.

You’ve not seen many better than Joe Wright this season let me tell you.

He is out of contract in the summer. One of the best bits of business in the January window would be to tie him down for another 3 years at least.
-
Borderline lunacy if we don't sign him up to a longer contract ASAP.
At least we would get a fee if he did bugger off, though.
-
With Andrew well onto the road to recovery, the right back spot is the one we really need to raise the bar, with someone who can make the next step up.
Houghton as said has been on the cards for a while and would be great to end speculation and nail that one down.
I just wonder whether another striking option is on the radar with DF revisiting a previous failed bid and or gazumping a rival with a marquee signing of a strapping individual. Probably more hope than possibility with that one.
-
We desperately need a quality striker, but doesn't every team at this level. And recant afford one.
A left back if Andrew is not going to be fit, and a right back
-
Sign Neil Bishop.
Better off signing Harold or even Madge
-
Sign Neil Bishop.
Good call, he’s 8 months younger than Copps
COYR
-
Get Tommy Rowe's brother from Flyde.
-
We'll do well to manage that. Tommy Rowe's brother plays for Ipswich.
-
I thought someone else said on here that Danny Rowe of Fylde was Tommy's brother? Whether or not it is his brother he would make a great January signing, all the better if he is related to our Tommy.

Tommy Rowes actually brother would be a better signing.

Rowe! Top FA cup scorer?
:scarf: :scarf: :scarf:
He's right up there on 4 now, but his brother has 3 at the moment with a replay to come. A bit of family rivalry there 😀.
Assuming they are talking about Danny Rowe????

DBR - have I missed an update on Andrew? I thought he was out for the whole season?

Dutch, that is exactly what I said on Sunday.

Of course it was a wind up Gaz.
It was intended to be a conversation starter, and that is what happened.

From what he tweeted, he's on the grass (unless he meant he's smoking weed!) although his return is not imminent, I think we can get by in that position until his return with Toffollo or another loan.
-
Thanks DBR, good news.
-
Sheff unt have strikers surplus to requirements,Hanson and Donaldson would do a good job for us till end of season at least
-
Hanson is on 10k a week there from what I was told in Bradford.

I doubt we could afford to sign him permanently but a loan wouldn't be out of the question.

I wouldn’t want him.
-
He has a bad injury record and isn't too mobile though. I think that he would make us too one dimensional personally.
-
I heard a rumour about a certain striker on loan at Millers was going back to Ipswich in January...would we...could we ??

not Moore .. he has scored 13 at Rotherham thanks only to long ball game onto his head and their performance at Keepmoat was most boring !
-
Wright on a longer contract and Houghton if possible. Kiwomya will be back mid January so that's another outlet up top. Toffolo till the end of the season to cover Andrew's lost?
Don't think we've really got an endless pot of money to throw on covering certain positions.
Happy with the players we've got at this moment in time!
-
He's said he doesn't want big changes nor do we need them. I see two additions, maybe a third depending on whether or not he keeps our current loanees. A forward, a defender and then maybe a replacement for Kongolo if he decides to send him back will be a good month of business.
-
If we can have a good cup run resulting in more money for the club that plus the contingency money already allocated for January could see us going for some quality up front and a full back/wing back.

Heard moore is off to Wigan £400,000

Heard moore is off to Wigan £400,000
That's got Jordan Rhodes Mk II written all over it - sell for a bit of fast cash now and miss out on significantly more a few years down the line.

I would have thought Ipswich would want to test him out first. £400,000 could be a shrewd investment.
-
Wright - I think we have option on another year so don't worry too much. He does need a new contract though.
-
Wigan always go for the goal scorers inform until he signs for them.
What's happening with the lad from Grimsby they signed.
-
Bogle? at Cardiff now..
-
.....and scoring for them just the other week!
-
Kristian Dennis at Chesterfield? 11 goals in a side that's rock bottom of the Football League.
He's out of contract in the summer so perhaps dangle a (smallish) fee their way? He wouldn't have to relocate.
-
Jai Quitongo? If that's how you spell his name I recognised his name on Gillette Soccer Saturday maybe a possibility of going in for him again?
+ out of contact end of the campaign according to an article on the internet.
-
Doidge of FGR is also doing well in a lower table side.
-

He's got SPL sides interested in him now. Plus Ferguson has already said in the past he won't be going back in for him.
-
Wasn't he all but signed until someone north of the border let it slip in an effort to instigate a bidding war?
-
Jason Oswell ... Striker .. Stockport County.

I doubt we'll go back in for this particular player now but as far as SPL sides are concerned, I'd say we can compete for the signature of a player with nearly every SPL club anyway.

Well at a Retford branch meeting he did a Q&A at, he said he wasn't 100% the lad would've coped with the move down here, so yes financially and in terms of facilities we can compete with most of them, but that isn't the entire story.
And yes, someone at Morton went public with our bid.

Good point RedJ. I guess his circumstances may have changed a bit in the 15 or so months since but I doubt he's still on our radar anyway.
It's someone with L1 experience I think we need which puts Quitongo well in the shade in terms of an attacking target.
