One is already confirmed but name to be revealed. I wonder if we will also see a permanent addition?
Couldn't be Ryan Broom could it?
Not in Posh squad on Saturday ( could have been injured) after spending the season on the subs bench.
They'll only have paid the first installment on his transfer fee so.....
Wishful thinking probably.
Any way we've got Indy who can fill that role anyway.

Not sure why we would have an interest in Vernam? He's more of a winger isn't he? Where has that rumour come from?
Blimey Broom? No thanks!!paperboy wrote:Couldn't be Ryan Broom could it?

Wouldn't make the first team now and I can't see him making an impact from the bench. We need better than that!!!
I mean, he would quite literally walk into the first 11, but ok.Ben3 wrote:Blimey Broom? No thanks!!paperboy wrote:Couldn't be Ryan Broom could it?

As much as I criticised him for going missing for long periods last season, he is what we are missing, someone to provide that moment or two moments in a game to change the 0-0's and 1-1's into wins.
Then again, we had too many draws last season as well.

I do sometimes wonder whether Blair could perform that function.
I'm sure he could and, if I'm not wrong, that's mainly what he was being signed for before the extent of Long's injury became clear. I might have imagined that, though.
I said a few weeks ago we need to get Blair forward as he has a decent shot on him, based on the two or three he has scored from right back so far.

Me too. When Long is back it would be good to see Blair pushed further forward.Hubert Parry wrote:I do sometimes wonder whether Blair could perform that function.
Blair and Sercombe would be quite something in the midfield three.

Hehehe, here we go. How is it that every player who leaves us is the worlds greatest player...but cannot make any success at the dizzying heights of FGR, Peterborough etc?
Broom wasn't that good. He did some good things sometimes. And now I presume he'll find his level at burton in League 2

Sounds like we are done.
Clearly the permanent move did not materialize. Curious to know who it was.

Any idea what the rules are regarding training during the Covid pause? If Long is allowed to train for two weeks, it means he will be closer to being in contention for a starting place by the time we play again.Shade wrote:Yeah he's back but obviously not fit enough to do more than 20 minutes at the moment. A break now of another 2 weeks isn't going to help him get his match fitness back.
As for Bowman....I am amazed at how well he has done on L2. I have referred to him as the ‘Hereford Camel’ ever since the two FA Cup games against Hereford....when Bowman was one of the players giving it large in the pre-match features/build-ups. Happy not to sign him...I would struggle to celebrate a goal if he scored it.

Don't know much about the 3 loan signings but if their respective clubs are happy to send us their players I think it speaks volumes about are way the club are thought about.
Anyway excited to. see who the permanent signing is

That rather puts the pressure on the youngsters to shine and/or the existing squad to raise their levels.
Time will tell as to whether that was a successful window or not, we just don't know yet.

I agree. Freestone doesn't have the creativity to play LWB but does his best. It is a shame that Ellis Chapman is injured and I think he would have been a good deputy for Hussey.Artemis wrote:How long it takes to get Sercombe and Hussey (and maybe Long) back and fully firing again will be the determinant of how successful our season will be. Bowman? Nice to have, but we look devoid of creativity at the moment, especially down the left.
The postponement of the next two games should be of benefit so that either Hussey or Chapman can be available for selection.
Not overly concerned about Bowman, as he seems to have been touting himself around a few clubs. Would rather have someone who wants to come to CTFC and not just the highest payer. Of course we all want more money, but that is not the only stimulus in lifeArtemis wrote:How long it takes to get Sercombe and Hussey (and maybe Long) back and fully firing again will be the determinant of how successful our season will be.

Presume we were one of the clubs in with a bid.
Not everyone’s cup of tea I know, but I feel he is the sort of player we are missing at the top of the team.
