True but we need some quality to go with the filler/gambles. We need this January window to put some breathing space between us and relegation. I’m not sure anyone can say with any degree of certainty that the signings so far will do that. I feel like every window has us waiting for the ‘real’ signings and diminishing the expected roles of the ones we’ve made to justify signing them at all. Fully agree. Was trying to make the point that we’re taking the cheap, easy way out as usual. Sorry, I thought you were looking for an upside.

The people we have in the building this window are no different to who I would expect to see in any of our previous shitty windows (although a BPA back up keeper is low even for us)
Being linking with Edmondson is one thing, but landing him wi be another matter. If we manage to persuade a player who is on loan in the Scottish prem (and they want to keep him) to join is on loan instead then I would be actually impressed
But I can't help but think he will be joining the Kieffer Moore, Billy Sharpe list instead...

Looks like he never really got a run judging by the comments.

I feel like every window has us waiting for the ‘real’ signings and diminishing the expected roles of the ones we’ve made to justify signing them at all. We've had a good run but sooner or later it will end, they always do. And at the moment we are only 5 points off the bottom so it's imperative we get this transfer window right for once. This is a worry, Rhodes/Sparks seeing an up turn in form, or gambling on the season being cancelled, and not appointing a proper manager or signing quality to save a few bob. The ‘keeper is fine, he’s inexperienced enough that we can get an emergency loan in, it’s the lack of a striker or two that’s wrong.

Hearing David Nugent's name a lot for Novaks replacement. Thought he'd already retired though

The article that first broke City’s interest in him was worded oddly. They said they’d knocked back out enquiry but immediately followed up with the fact that they expected more ins and outs. That and the fact Parker’s gone with it means it’s a live one. With Rowe playing deep and McAleny playing forward and on the left, where would this leave Clarke? If we pulled this off then it would represent a cracking piece of business and would almost complete the front line overhaul we desperately needed.

McAleny starts for Oldham.

McAleny is only contracted to the summer, similar to Rowe. And Oldham need the cash. I reckon there'll be a deal done.

Been waiting for the Andy Cook rumour to pop up, one of his close mates is my sports massage therapist. He's been trying to get a move to us since his Tranmere days. I'll see if I can find out if it's true

I'll see if I can find out if it's true footballleagueworld.co.uk/exclusive-bradford-city-set-to-secure-deal-to-sign-30-year-old-on-loan/amp/#click=https://t.co/pvTGSTZzKqThe people running the story are the ones who broke the Rowe deal first. I assume this means that Novak is out for a while. We only play one upfront and already have Rowe, Novak and Donaldson. Maybe Donaldson is leaving too. I’d rather us go for a left winger and some cover for Watt and Sutton because if one of them two has to miss games then I’m not sure who comes into the side.

He's a decent player but think he's struggled with fitness last couple of seasons. Loves a James Hanson style post game warm down.

That would be the kind of transfer I’d have expected us to do before the new dawn.

It's definitely happening....says He's sick of sitting on the bench at Mansfield and wants to be closer to home. Wants to earn a contract with us for next season.
