That’s premature even by your standards.

There’s not going to be any news on December 30th and rightly so. I, personally, like the way the club keeps things under wraps until it happens.

You may get a few rumours like this Biancheri though.

May be wrong but I don’t think we’ll bring many in. I’m happy with the squad but also think we could use just one or two.

Premature is a bit strong nearly january the 1st? and a bit of chat on a fans forum did' nt think there were rules of when you can ask a question by the sound of it.

Don't see there being huge movement, maybe two or three in on loan.

Loans are the way to go. January is never a good time to buy players because the price is inflated compared to the summer.

I do believe BBM when he says he's happy with the size of the squad. He may want to improve the squad slightly though, while keeping the numbers around the same.

So I can see two or three loans coming in and the likes of Nyakuhwa, Mafico and Giles going out on loan.

The manager will want players for sure it's if he's given the freedom to get them despite what he tells the media and what us fans think.

Always makes me laugh when people say this isn't a good time due to prices or some other lane excuse on any window. If the club are serious a out going straight back up when is another better time . We need 2 to 4 additions in my opinion because injury's and sickness will kick in at some point

Id like to see the club back him with some acutal money to buy a few as they will be bedded in then for next season, although loans it will probably be as cheaper but obviously highly unlikely to be here next season unless bought of course but we all know the score with the club cost cutting :bluescarf:

It's true though, prices are inflated because it's the middle of the season, especially from other British clubs. That's just a fact.

That's why the January market is dominated with loans at all clubs.

I was more on the thinking we will be get in loans, not spending big.

Definitely loans, there's really no need for any big spending, just a tweak here & there for some cover.

Personally I'm more concerned about losing players than bringing anyone in
