So, onto Momo Sissoko then I would presume if Makoun is not signing. Gutted - looks a quality player.

Not turned us down yet- let's wait and see!

Sign a striker? We'd have to spend some money, then.

Sign a striker? We'd have to spend some money, then.

We should be able to.

[Jimbo]

To be able is one thing, to be willing is another.

Holloway has had a real pop at U's about Adam hasn't he!

[PaulWinch again]

Holloway needs to remember whilst he's done well, Blackpool have been in the Premier League for 6 months.

We should be able to.

We've spent two of the last three season in the top two of that. Our chance was wasted, it's time to put the brakes on. Unless you'd rather gamble with the club's solvency?

What have Colchester Utd got to do with anything?

[Chris Smith]

Mellin, it's one thing being prudent it is quietvanother to be the lowest spenders in the entire division. I understand that there were extenuating circumstances but there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be spending significantly in this window subject to the players being available and willing to join us.

[Mellin]

Depends what your idea of significant spending is. It's all relative. Only Sidwell has been cut from the dreaded wage bill, so surely it's at best a one in, one out policy?

Unless we're counting Shorey, too?
