    All our players are identified by the same spreadsheet, so they’ll all pretty much be much of a muchness, it’s just that some will have a stronger desire to play for us than others, if we have say 20 to 25 players identified as we should have if we’ve been down all 25 and not managed to sign the six we need we’re in trouble.

    I’d sell angus for that when injuries clear up we have more than enough cover. Probably rubbish though.

    I am curious how you arrive at all these figures you mention , is it your idea we need six or are you quoting from the management ?

    We needed another one or two strikers, and a keeper, at the end of the last window, Mamado, Potts, and Mageehan have all failed in my opinion, so they need replacing, as does Barnes

    Yes, he was looking like a liability in the last games he played.

    We can’t strengthen anyone in the bottom half of the table

    Jackson was our best centre back before his injury. Lyndsey and Jackson would be my choice going forward, if someone offers us 1m for McDonald I’ve got a feeling he might be off.

    If them at the club have been watching what I have all season, then I can’t see how they can come to any other opinion than what I have.

    Well , I have been there all season watching as well but I think I will leave it to the professionals , I think they just might have a bit more knowledge of the job than me

    So another 'target' signed in Mahoney. Only Leeds have now signed more than us this transfer window.. I'd bet there will be 1 or 2 more arrive before the deadline passes as these things take time, other clubs reluctant to let players leave without themselves having deals in place. I'm sure your hissy fit about as you call it the clubs inexcusable actions in the transfer window is already starting to look a bit daft to say the least.

    29 days to sign a player who’s not getting a sniff at his own club, fantastic stuff, ether we’ve failed with our first target, or AFCB or The player have been messing us about if it’s the latter we should have moved on to the next target 28 days ago, he might have been settled in now.

    Would you say the same about Villa when they signed Hourihane on 26th Jan last year, why not in the first 5 seconds of the transfer window.... Nah doubt it, because your whole view on this has zero substance.. Obviously just a wind up merchant of the highest order.

    His approach reminds me of that guy who had a small cult around him a couple of years ago, who thought he was a genuine comedian but I can't remember his name, was banned around the same time as doctor zazlos. Had a weird twitter page and referred to himself in third person.

    Here is a link to all the transfer activity in the championship. It's not quite up to date, as it doesn't include Mahoney.

    We've got 3 in which is better than average.

    You say we need 6. Fair enough, we might do, but how many do all the other clubs need? Can you be sure that they're getting in everything theyre targeting?

    Middlesborough haven't signed anyone yet, it looks like as many players going out as coming in.
