I have difficulty believing that Lee Turnbull had anything to do with the two signings we've made. You'd have thought that a team supposedly on the up and moving away from the relegation places we'd be a more attractive proposition for players. Mind you if we can't attract a decent manager either (not taking anything away from the two lads now) that shows that something is wrong. Probably hard to find all those players who join us because they just can't wait to play in front of 20k at VP now its all behind closed doors We all remember when we used to pretend that was our golden ticket right? Yeh but let’s also not forget the time we were told the big crowds made it harder to sign players because some of them were intimidated. Christ we’ve been fed some shit in recent years.

Another line is it’s cheap to buy a house in Bradford so why wouldn’t a player want to sign for Bradford City?

Looking at more park avenue players according to BT. Credit to Ryan for getting the non league planning in early 👍👍👍

Any improvement on BRE is great.

Reactions are a mixed bag. Might be alright for League Two and has to be better than BRE:

I remember thinking he was crap when he was at Scunny/Rochdale.
But that's a few years ago now when we were competing top end L1.

Wonder if Staunton will go by the end of the window or if this is a replacement for one of the O'connors?

I think he will be benched till one of the OC's get suspended or injured then he will be first choice, can't see Staunton going anywhere just yet. I find it a bit strange that he's just got himself back into a league 1 team and we've bagged him. I understand his family is back up here but it just seems a bit strange we're the 6th worst team in the country and managed to get a league 1 regular

Seems a bit too heavy on centre backs if you’re playing four at the back, but it might let you to rest one of them if the games are coming thick and fast. French and FCD at right back, four centre halves and two left backs with kids as back seems about right. You’d imagine any move for Staunton to a big club would be a loan back to the end of the season anyway. I have a feeling we’ve seen the last of Hosannah. Get shot of Guthrie and Samuels with two strikers in and a Gary Jones style midfielder and it’s not a bad window on paper.

Reckon we will get rid of AOC for wages and the fact he's a cunt in the summer.

Don't know much about this Canavan lad.
Parker says he's experienced though. Gotta love some good experience... like experience of getting relegated... yep. Hes done that
Once?
Twice?
Nope, three times relegated.
Sound like a BCAFC signing if ever I saw one.

I’ll be amazed if that lad makes it.
The fact we’ve waited until now to activate the release clause makes me think we were waiting on a replacement. Might be a signing today if so.

Missing piece of the jigsaw. Missing piece that we never managed to find. He's still young enough but needs to go somewhere where he's actually planned to fit in, and not shoehorned as a last minute panic loan the day after he played against us. We need a forward with goals in them, simple - can't rely on Novak alone up top.
