January transfer window

monkey hanger said:
thing is coley is looking for better players than he would have done a few seasons ago. higher up we go there are more teams to offer more money at the so called bigger clubs. even if you live in birmingham and get a loan offer from stanley and charlton who would you actually pick as a player.

That's why just as we were building a fanbase over 2000 we have hit with this awful pandemic a brick wall so future pay rises in the budget are probably hard to justify so probably still shopping in bargain window.

i cannot understand what J.C. has said about its harder to sign players in Div1 than when your bottom end of Div2 and he cannot understand why?? its pretty obvious to me and im sure to most people.!
 
Stanley interested in re signing Paul Smyth,free agent at the end of the season.
Liked that little chap when he was here last,especially his back flip when he scored .

Another rumour Paul Smyth recalled from loan at Charlton apparently on our radar for a return.

You heard it here first welcome back Paul hope you have a decent spell back at the Wham great turn of pace and a great backflip when you score.

Honest question - where do you see him playing and who is he going to replace ?

Well seeing as we have 26 games left to play and he is a striker by trade firstly straight on bench as Cassidy is injured Mansell on loan then hopefully get some game time in a very congested period simple.
 
So not straight in - agreed.
After that it isn't simple.
So you see him as a striker. So replacement for Bishop or Charles during a congested period.
I cant see Charles and Smyth working but Smyth off Bishop ok.

The reason I ask is because he hasn't played as part of a front two at Charlton.

Well if you check he actually has, like I said he has been brought in to hopefully strengthen our strike force but as Coley likes players who adapt. he can play out wide as well, plus if he impresses his contract is up in July who knows

Rarely.
He's played right of a three like he did against us but only a couple of times with 2 up top.
When coming on as sub he's often replaced the right midfielder.
Maybe we will go 3-4-3 on occasions ?

Also last season at Wycombe he played a few in a 2 and a few in a 3 depending on the formation makes him a very useful acquisition especially with his pace keep the opposition on its toes.

agree on that. at least he can play in more than one position and not just in an emergency. think its a good move bringing him back especially as i was more than a bit worried who we actually did or were able to sign.
 
Just wondering if big Ryan Edwards could be on our radar Wigan were rumoured to be interested but have brought Tilt in on loan, Edwards is up at Dundee United but his family are down here, rumoured to want a move near home, 27 6ft 5in decent player would probably involve small fee but wages probably right just a thought.
 
John Coleman expecting it to be a quiet day regarding incomings on deadline day, 2 targets missed and 2 wanting money we haven't got.
