Would it be feasible to broadcast live ?

"can't find a pen"

[Chris Black come back]

Some predictions.

1. We will get very few people in during the window and will most / all be loans. 

2. Plenty of folks will spontaneously self-combust.

3. We will continue with our good form despite this.

I reckon DM might say "Will somebody calm that Cameron  Rowe down...."

The targets have been spotted. The club is now working to get the deal’s done.

To be fair to Darren Moore he fronts up to the interviews but, having identified the targets, it’s largely out of his hands now so he’s answering questions on matters outside of his control.

Similarly with contract renewals. I think it was stated a while back that priority deals were / are Whiteman, Anderson, Sadlier and Coppinger? DM states who he wants to keep and then the club enters into negotiation over a suitable package. So far we have managed to agree two of them and hopefully there’s more good news to come.

Who has the pen ??

[keith79]

Not on our radar

[afro goal machine]

Theres ‘irons in the fire’

[graingrover]

Yes it is the hardest part and I think we would be better off concentrating on getting in two top drawer loanees this January .Otherwise the game is ‘who  is prepared to feed the agent ‘month .

Indeed..

Also, and what often gets missed, is that matters are often beyond the club’s control, never mind the manager’s..

Why is it only half a dozen of us or so can see the big picture. 

CBcb got it spot on with his last post. 

Oh if it is more than half a dozen or so, my apologies.
No names so i can’t get myself into trouble hopefully.

I see your point, Brian. But if we prioritise two loanees ahead of renewing existing contracts or bringing in permanently contracted players then it’s going to leave an absolutely huge task for the summer. I’m not sure we can keep that up sustainably every year.

[idler]

I wonder how many times over the years that players have regretted following an agents advise and missing out on a beneficial career move to stagnate elsewhere on a bit more money. The agent left happy though because he got his wedge.
Wasn't it reported that Willie McKay got about £600,000 as his cut for Joey Barton going to QPR?
 We then not only the pleasure of beating QPR's stars but Richie Wellens winning his running battle with Barton on field. Another game where on looking at the pre-match squads nobody gave us a chance. Including me.😳

to a man we are working flat out.

Its not the identifying the targets thats the problem..

Everyone concerned with the club are working every waking hour!

We jest of course, but DMs recent interviews have been so much better in recent weeks,  he seems to be relaxing more with the radio sheff guys...

[graingrover]

I think we will offer contracts to those DM believes will deliver .Copps ..both parties may wait till later ..Matty ..needs to prove his comeback is secure ....Sadlier needs to show consistency and show his belief in himself and in DM ..Jo Wright as per Sadlier .
DM has his own values which I consider  to fit DRFC long term unlike GM.

3. We will continue with our good form despite this.

agree with your points 1 & 2.

slight amendment required to point 3 as follows.

3. We will continue with our good form despite this (if our starting 11 suffer no injuries/suspensions/loss of form).

“ we’re trying but the hardest part is getting them over the line “

[Campsall rover]

Personally I would rather wait until the summer and sign the players DM wants, rather than sign someone now just to make up the numbers.
It’s quality not quantity we need in the summer.
We have plenty of young players knocking on the door in Jones, Amos, Blaney, Greaves, Gomes, Watters etc. Plus the option of another few loanees to replace existing ones assuming we don’t keep any of the existing ones.

We need to sign Deing if possible or another quality keeper if he is not made available by QPR.
Another 2/3 permanent signings in the summer required.

No drastic transfer activity is required.

Couple of loanees now will do nicely thankyou. 

I really don’t understand what all the fuss is about.
We are 2 points outside the play offs with 1/2 games in hand. That has been achieved with disruptions to our season and injuries to key players.

That is the reality of the situation. From where i am sat it’s a very positive situation.

[Cameron Rowe]

Rekeem harper signing from West Brom today apparently

[Alan Southstand]

Don’t believe what you read on twitter!

Our squad is far too light currently. If we were to pick up a couple more injuries we really are struggling. I don’t agree that we have plenty of young players knocking on the door. The reason their on the bench is because we don’t have anyone else. We already have 4 loans so don’t see the point of signing a couple more, we just need 1 loan and 2 or 3 permanent ones.... were in a very good position considering our squad size and the fact we have no goal scorers. Strengthen this window with a few quality players and we have a very good chance of finishing top 6

There we go again.. your visionary bigger picture...

Believe it when I see it. Saw the guy on Twitter posting that, just one of those rumour accounts though. Would be a good signing but almost certainly another loan.

[Alan Southstand]

It’s painfully obvious we need re-inforcements, let alone the glaringly obvious need for a striker. I’d have thought that we would have signed, at least, 2 by now. But it just isn’t happening. Pressure is on GB right now.

[IDM]

We have let two loanees go so in theory we could take 2 more, even though not all could play at the same time.

At some point, young players do need to feature otherwise how do they progress ever.?

That said, I believe we should be looking at 3 signings (more if possible) in this window.

DMs update in the DFP website (yesterday?) clearly acknowledges the need for incoming players..  the club will be well aware of this..
