BBM: The mistake I made in the summer transfer window

Brian Barry-Murphy:


"Yeah, not doing any numbers on how many I want in January! That was a mistake on my part in August.

"I think you're always then being held to that.

"Without sounding boring, there's a huge focus on our own squad and making sure that we don't lose track or sight of what we're trying to improve in those players.

"We're very pleased with the squad that we have and obviously if we can improve the squad significantly in any one position then that'll be our aim in all the windows moving forward. But for now I'm pretty calm about it."

I am not one of these people who harp on about our squad not being big enough as we have quality cover in virtually every position. But we desperately need cover for Bagan. Add a couple of quality loans or permanent signings, one in midfield and another upfront and we can really kick on and leave the rest in our wake.

I agree, we definitely need cover at LB.

Left back and a striker we need the most although I'm sure he's got a list of 5 players he would like despite whats said. Hopefully he's backed and we can push on to run away with the league as there's no better time than now being top to push on. Only time will tell

It sounds like BBM is getting in the excuses early for no financial backing. Hopefully some decent loans will be available to strengthen the squad as everyone can see we need a few more players.

That's how I see it we need more for sure. I mean if they can't back him the next window then when is there any other better time. where's the protests and tan out banners then if he's not backed. But then again we are winning so It's swept under the carpet when times are good. We had the same lingo from BBM the last window although I understand he has to say certain things to keep the peace from above although the last window we signed one player permanently who's a donkey in my opinion so far but the two loans have been good signings to be fair to date

I mean that’s a reach to say that but each to their own.

I actually think his comments make perfect sense.

Keeping our players is most important. I have no doubt Championship clubs will be sniffing around Salech, I just hope the fact he has a good relationship with the manager convinces him to stay.

He then goes on to say that we will add quality to the squad if the opportunity presents itself.

As I said, do think we need LB cover though. We've been lucky that Bagan has stayed fit and not been suspended. Law of averages says he will miss some games in the second half of the season.

Agree with you totally plus I think he has been backed. Osho wasn’t cheap. Kellyman’s wages will be a bit.

Wintle is going good but i would like to see a alternative DM, someone 6'2+ who can head and get stuck in
