What are we hoping for in terms of ins and outs? It's all gone quiet on the outgoing front (thankfully), so hopefully any outgoings tomorrow will be fringe players only (Miller, Schmidt etc). Hopefully we manage to secure one of our 3 striker targets. That for me is the minimum that needs to happen. A left wing back would be handy, or maybe another central midfielder.
Reading comments by Valerien, a possible new striker and perhaps a new left back/ left wingback. I won't be surprised if no one comes in, though.
Nobody signed until the last hour then out comes the pen on twitter after about an hour of whitey teaser tweets about a new signing and it turns out we've signed a 5ft 6 centre half whose 17 years old from Stockport that's one for the future.
Left wing back Harry Pickering from Crewe or Randell Williams from Exeter. Striker Lawrence Shankland from Dundee United Lee Gregory from Stoke Chuks Aneke from Charlton Out George Miller Patrick Schmidt
Williams at Exeter is out injured til March I think. Although that probably makes us more likely to sign him!
Considering we're in the office from 8am, it's in our benefit as staff to get any incomings done ASAP so we can all go home ASAP. Trust me, there's not one part of me that wants to be teasing anything at the last hour. Unless it's all done, in the bag, and we just tease it at 10:50pm from the comfort of our homes. Hmmmm. There's an idea
I am not bothered if anyone comes in or not, I am more than delighted with the progress we have made this season & would not object to the club hanging on to any money we have because in these strange times money is short in the EFL & I can see administration or worse for some clubs & I want us to stay solvent , my only worry is hanging on to the more talented players within the squad , we all know who they are & if we get through the window with all our big hitters still here, then that will be me happy .
Aha! That's code for we're definitely signing Roberto Firmino & Andy Robertson from Liverpool! Thanks for that, Andy, old mate!
Don't get too excited. I played left wing-back in a staff game at St George's Park and scored a hat-trick, and Clarky is 6"5' and scored five times up front. We're signing ourselves. We haven't told Val yet.
