I obviously meant I wasnt expecting big money or premier league players to signed. We literally have nothing up front other than a converted right back.
There were a few that we could have got up front and midfield.
Connor wickham went to Sheff Wed Brewster went to Swansea
Cavaleiro went to Fulham
Scott Sinclair went to Preston
Andy king went to Huddersfield
Nahki Wells went to Bristol

Just a few off the top of my head.
The window was poor and we are weaker now than we were at the start if it


I think the window you want will be in the summer. Be patient mate..



Cavaleiro cost 10m!! As for others you can only sign players who want to move here or clubs will let them come here! Brewster not going anywhere but swansea wells went to highest bidder.. andy king probably only one realistically an option on paper.... several clubs didnt get anyone in wonder why? Perhaps it's for the normal reasons ? No money, player didnt want to go to club ect ect ! Getting players in January who you require is so easy :roll:

None of them are gagging to join anyone. Football is a business like any other. A job is a job and most will go where the money takes them.
I expected us to sign a striker. Wether that striker is a lower league gamble or a loan from a premier league side. We should have signed one as we lost 3 this window alone.
Also a midfielder/playmaker to compete with Tomlin. He wont last the season like he is he will burn out.

The last thing we needed was 2 full backs. Adomah could be great but looking at his current form he is more likely to flop

Are you seriously saying we could not get one single midfielder or striker from anywhere in the world within our budget ? Behave we are a big championship club with a good chance of playboffs this year . Cardiff is a attractive club

Signing players for any club in the positions clubs requires is so easy in January it's like picking apples off a tree! Even spurs man u ect had trouble getting players why should championship be any different? Perhaps people complaining would preferred we didnt sighn anyone so couldn't complain we made poor signings? ;)

No not saying we could not! but am saying you cannot just say to a player your going to sighn for us ok! We did not have a budget did we? Well not one that could pay cavaleiro or other high earning players ! You could name 100 players available worldwide but that doesnt mean we could get someone who would come here and that goes for any other club unless you spend big as (money which we dont have) talks especially in January window. are we so different from other clubs that we can just click fingers and player will come here ? Like said above the reasons we didnt sighn wells Brewster ect ect will apply to most clubs In January ..... do I think window was poor not particularly it's just a typical January window expected nothing more

I don't feel as if I have been treated like a mug. I wasn't expecting much because Tan has made his intentions clear. He has told us plenty of times his ambitions for the club, and has also told us that he has no intentions of pumping the cash into the club in the way he has previously done. I never expected for one minute we would be bringing in many players, even our manager told us there was no money available. This window has gone almost exactly as I expected it to go, and as I have said previously, we know which league we will be playing in next season, so hopefully we may see a bit of wheeling and dealing in the Summer.

Re: “ Very poor window “

Sat Feb 01, 2020 1:03 pm

Agree it’s not been a great window ...with the exception of Peltier , happy with the outs but will have to see how the signings go....not exactly exciting as we all can see we need a creative midfielder to start with

Re: “ Very poor window “

Sat Feb 01, 2020 1:27 pm

Its pretty obvious that the board have written of any ambition for this season not anywhere near the top 6 at xmas, and 12th now
harris must have known there was no money available,
we could have got something for madine or pelts but let them go for free,
i fear the board are still wrapped up in the sala affair
with memhets announcement on deadline day about sala fund etc ,the only sad thing is the attendances are going to drop off along with the hope and atmosphere, and its not the vision we where told when i bought my season ticket i will carry on enjoying the remainder of the season but would have enjoyed a lot more if we where giving it a bloody good go and going to do a burnley like we where told from the the then manager and board.

Rubbish
I'm not anti Harris at all. Yes he was not who I wanted but we've got him now and to be honest hes done ok so far.
He and the transfer committee have had 3 months to find the players we need to improve. I never expected premier league players but I expected us to strengthen whether in quality or numbers in the 2 positions we are desperately needing. The players are there you just have to look and have the right contacts which obviously Harris doesnt.
We have a great chance of play offs THIS season and they have just thrown it away by not taking the window seriously.

You have to also question what someone like Cameron Coxe thinks aswell. Hes been working hard to get his chance and we bring in a kid who has never played a single professional game as back up over him.

Well give good impersonation of anti Harris!!

Look we all know what positions we needed to strengthen in but there again we've known for 3yrs or more havent we? So why didn't NW do so in the summer when the choice was better? How do you know we've not taken it seriously what contacts do you have that can say we didnt try get the players in we required!
Many clubs didnt get in players they wanted or required that is the January window for you difficult..... getting a forward pointless because of way we play 6 strikers have failed so would next one... midfielder we required was one available and would he or club let him come here if was available who knows? .... defence needs overhauling and not for this window... you describe this window as poor, its only poor because players we required didn't come here but that's not to say we did not try get them on loan and for reasons stated previously we couldn't get them in, I just describe it as a typical January window get what you can/need at what price you can afford so nothing as changed
since January window came in its same for all clubs..... :old:

Dont play video games mate I'm a grown up. Enjoy being treated to mediocre signings and ambitions. I like I always have will aim higher.

Re: “ Very poor window “

Sat Feb 01, 2020 8:02 pm

IMO its not a bad window. We got rid of a few player we didn't need or want and didn't let the manager buy anyone (it's not a time to buy anyway)

(Again IMO) this squad has no chance of promotion and the board realised that reality when Warnock left. So we are not left with a squad of all sorts that doesn't equate to a winning team.

I have seen nothing that suggests Harris is the guy for the rebuild, he can't set a team up to win a game, he has to make mega changes at H/T to make amends. He is being out coached game after game. In two years time he'll be out of the game.

We just came down from the premier league with all the money that entailed plus parachute payments, we have offloaded 6 players this month including getting £11mill for Bobby reid. We no longer pay the large wages of Niasse, Arter and Camarasa. We also sold multiple high earners this season like Zahore for £8million.
BUT we can only afford a 20byear old development player from Wolves who has never played a game.

Re: “ Very poor window “

Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:06 pm

Whilst a disagree with the OP... I think it’s the window we all expected and whilst we live in hope a signing comes in which feels exciting that was never going to happen.

But posters like Bamba Crew and others... this is not a positive season for the club... it’s been dire and the worst football in years. Stop expecting everyone to be happy clappy positive everything is sunny types like yourselves. Some fans are realists :thumbup:

Re: “ Very poor window “

Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:48 pm

Who ever we sign our fans will never be happy for fu$#s sake !!!

People said the same on here for the last windows. Bacuna turned out decent. Nelson one of our better CBs. Gavin whyte good player. Vaulks good player etc. All of these players where criticised before even being given a chance!!!

Everyone is too quick to stick the knife in. Who cares what league or level they come from as long as they turn out good.

Everyone is too quick to criticise the manager also...but only 2 losses. Yes we have drawn a lot of games but we are in a transition period where neil wants to get younger players into the team and get the team playing his way. This takes time!!!

I am excited about the new lads with competition for place and a bit of experience.

All I'm saying is let's give people a chance. We are not going to sign a Rooney or Ronaldo without eventually being caught out by financial fair play rules.

This season is a transition with an outside chance of playoffs. Next season we will have a good go at it.

Parachute payments are designed to pay the wages of players as you drop a division.
Since last season we have got rid of Gunnarsson, Arter, Camarasa, Niasse, Reid, Peltier, Madine, Harris, Manga and Bogle.
That is over 150k a week saved probably a lot more.
We have also received over £17million in transfer fees since relegation. Add that to the £50million first season parachute payment and the reported £102million for being in the premier league last season.

And your telling me we cant afford better than what we got this January ? Laughable if you believe that.

Re: “ Very poor window “

Sat Feb 01, 2020 10:47 pm

Seriously what 3 players would you have liked us to sign this window I wasnt expecting us to spend anything fee wise so im not shocked . My worry is the summer when we need a big overhaul what money will be available then I'd have thought 6-8 needed

Stop the crap about money you haven't a clue how the money is spent or how much we actually got? we lose money monthly and it's got to come from somewhere otherwise we'll go broke....... again you dont read much on here as lots are saying rather not spend money this window but keep for summer but you want spend how much?! And Who's saying we couldn't afford players? you still not grasping fact we do not have final say who comes here whether we can afford them or not! I believe we could afford players better than we got but this team needs a major overhaul of 6/8 players and spending big money on couple of players just to please fans is plain daft , previous manager wasted many millions dont need to add to problems thats caused

So that's what YOU believe . Does that mean I should follow suit and agree with you ?
I have a very good knowledge how finances work thanks and you have no idea about my background or how I am linked to football to make that assumption. Who said I wanted to spend millions ? We can still spend within our means to give the fans what they were promised by the chairman at the start of the season. Signing development kids and a over the hill winger is not what they PROMISED before we bought season tickets. If you want to blindly believe the bullshit then carry on that is your choice. I'm not a sheep like you.
Ans players will go where they are told to if the money is right

We dont buy our season tickets because we were promised players or money spent !!! We buy them because this is our team through thick and thin. We support them no matter what!!!!

You dont !
A lot of others do and when they spend their hard earned money they expect to be competitive when told they will be "giving it a go"
I would rather them just say signings will be low level but they cant because people wouldnt buy tickets .

What did you expect this transfer window? The club owner has made his intentions clear. The manager told us there was no money to spend. The transfer window has gone exactly as many fans expected.
