My view as well, there aren’t that many none first choice players who are worth any money, he’s one of them.

Marko Grujic is what a mate has text me. Never heard of him but supposedly plays for Liverpool.

I mentioned him the other day. Scousers up here reckon we want him on loan. He's a big holding player apparently.

Pointless signing in an area of the pitch where we have plenty of options

Selling Elphick at this time is idiotic, likely he will play and play well tomorrow v Forest

That's him hexed later then.  :(

Villa still haven't found what they're looking for in this transfer window but could Adam Clayton be joining the Pride ?

Really? Is that all he can come up with? Underwhelmed if it becomes a reality.

It's not the right hand side we need to bolster, it's the left. Taylor is not good enough and Hutton, bless him, is one wild swing away with the wrong foot from fucking up.
Why is Bruce so right-wing?

Hutton's done really well at LB amazingly, not a huge fan of him the other side.

Don't mind Taylor, not everyone rates him but he's a steady eddie, solid type to me which is fine at this level.

Bruce was allegedly overhead saying: "I still haven't found what I'm looking for"...

This window is unlikely to be Edge of the seat stuff

I suppose it would be too much to ask to hope we are looking at loan signings that suit our  style of play and fit into the system we play rather than blindly getting a couple of loans in out of desperation. Oh I think i've answered my own question there.




In the words of Blackadder there is a plan sir ?

It's such a cunning plan that no one knows about it. It's more cunning than a fox that puts on a bowler hat and becomes governor of the bank of England.

I can remember someone who used to post on here taking days off work during transfer windows it was that exciting for him

Grujic looks more use than Fabreeze. Not sure where a 20 year old centre half is going to fit in, unless it's so cheap it will allow us to sell Elphick

I heard he smells good

We could do with a couple more right backs, just to be on the safe side.

Yep. If the other 5 all get injured at the same time, we're fucked.

Are they all right backs though? Remember when we used to think McCarlos was a right back. Sort of.

Good times ,paying 80k a week on 2 (average RBs) to sit on bench whilst we played CB who no attacking sense there ...

Four most certainly are. regarding the fifth, I guess it depends if you count the headless chicken in the clown outfit a right back.

Bruce claims to have one almost done and another who is not on any radar at present ........................................... ???

I would imagine some aging Premier player who has been around a few clubs - Brucie like his "experience"
