The issue isn't January per se, it's the summer when this could and should have been avoided. To suggest that transfers are very sticky business in January and we should cut the club slack for that does not absolve them for fucking up September does it?

They can't have it both ways, they've made a mess full stop.

I think everyone said in the summer, having one relatively untried striker was madness and so it’s turned out. As for the rest of the players and purchases, I thinks it all in hindsight, and we’re all football geniuses in hindsight. If we manage to stay up and it is an if, I think there’s probably a player in Luiz, possibly Nakamba and Trez, there’s definitely players in Hause, Konsa, Guilbert and Engels. Targett and Wesley open to debate. So we would have the nucleus of a good team and hindsight then would tell us the business of summer 2019 wasn’t a complete disaster, we just need to scrape over the line, starting today hopefully...another Leicester performance with more ball retention would do.

I'm on transfer watch and a truth seeker.
I'll end it when we sign Bowen and Benteke and/or when transfer window closes.
Was only asking update as people are decent enough to post info I'm decent enough to enquire on how the transfer talk is going.

I won't however 'start' anything in integration or integrity for that matter.
Respectfully hearing your plea. Maybe also request solid rumours only from those who hear things but yes I was asking for interest for all not to call anyone out !
No more will be asked till 31st ok on these 2 moves.
Thanks

This is a genuine question. Is Skillz foreign? Does he have his posts translated online from his native language? That would explain a great deal.

Skillz is 'A Truth Seeker'. I recall an episode of Frasier when he had to go on a very long car journey with 'A Truth Seeker'.

I hope we sign Nzonzi, but we will have a lot of players sitting around and getting paid without contributing for the rest of the season.

Yeah I don’t really mind about that provided we can get a vaguely competitive 11 on the pitch.

That's what we've got already, with half of them on the pitch.

Totally correct. They need to earn their shirts.

Not sure if it's already been posted, but rumours are that Leeds and Newcastle have placed bids for Bowen.

Our team is crying out for someone like him, and it would be an atrosity to lose out to either of those..... but it's written on the wall that Brucey will snatch him from under our noses.

A mix of what's happened/rumoured and what I'd like to see, here's my Jan transfer wishlist:

- Reina (didn't really need one imo, but think he'll be a good addition)
- LB (fuck knows who... anyone but Taylor or Targett!)
- Stephen Nzonzi
- Jared Bowen
- Batsushayi - brought in as first choice striker on loan (instead of wasted loan slot of Drinkwater)
- Benteke on loan (gamble worth taking imo)
- Another striker (possibly this Tanzanian fella.... as backup)
