League One transfers - January 2024

[Hoover Attack]

The lack of numbers has knock on effects elsewhere, such as on Saturday where we end up playing El Miz (another one who is being pushed to the limit) as our 10.

He can do a job there (be fair, you could play him anywhere) and is brilliant when out of possession but ideally you'd want someone more creative.

We need another forward player.

[Monkey Boy]

I will very surprised if we bring another forward in. Think there may be a loan or even a very short term contract player. We have enough to stay up and can’t really see us getting in the playoffs? Think the summer window will be more fruitful for us. Yes we do have a lot of games coming up but just can’t see the board putting there hand in there pockets at this stage. And whenever have I been wrong

[B.whitehouse+10more]

It's 4 spots.

Moncur and Piggot ain't starting, cameo sub appearances at best.

Sanders can play the 10 role, when fit, so arguably 6 players for 4 spots. We need one more.

Stop making things up to fit your agenda

Al-Hamadi Wimbledon to Ipswich. Missed out there.

1.75 million reasons we were never signing him.

What is my 'agenda', Brian?

Which bit of the above has been made up?

Should have posted that 18 months ago then.

I posted a few months ago plus Evan’s from Newport however I’m not Orients chief scout so perhaps you should you should direct your question to him then.

[Top of the JES]

I do however agree about Will Evans at Newport he's always played well against us but I fear he's another one beyond our means now.

Saying that “Moncur and Piggot ain’t starting “, they are available to start, you’re not privy to team selection so you made it up to suit your agenda that we need more players. Let me know if you still don’t get it.

[Hoover Attack]

Good point Brian, apologies for making up that Moncur and Piggot aren’t starting games. I’ve no idea what I was thinking.

[Mistadobalina]

We aren't going up or down this season. January is a bad time of year to make signings. We have several players on the books that'll be hard to shift. Given how much money we're losing every season as it is, bringing forward an attacking signing seems unnecessary to me unless there is an incredible opportunity to bring a 10 in.

[cymruO]

Any news re Idris and Sol?

Agreed this is the most important aspect of the window...

Not even suggesting we sign a permanent player but another productive body is a necessity to protect the other players here.

Who is after Sol?

Recall from loan?

[Long slender neck]

Why?

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Good point Brian, apologies for making up that Moncur and Piggot aren’t starting games. I’ve no idea what I was thinking.

This sort of thing is why the accusation that CEB is Brain is ridiculous. CEB is a lot of things, but not thick as sh*t. Brain on the other hand...

[WilliamTell]

Any news re Idris and Sol?

Who is after Sol?

Wellens in a recent podcast said he didn't expect Sol to be recalled as he was low in their pecking order.

That’s not what you said if you had said that I would have agreed with you, you implied they weren’t going to start games making “cameo sub “ appearances at best, try to be an honest boarder at least.

[Bergen]

30 January

Millenic Alli [Halifax - Exeter] Undisclosed
Mo Eisa [MK Dons - Exeter] Loan
James Gibbons [Bristol Rovers - Cambridge] Loan
Beryly Lubala [Burton - Wycombe] Free

Michael Olakigbe [Brentford - Peterborough] Loan

Reading have sold Nelson Abbey, Nesta Guinness-Walker, Tom Holmes (re-joined on loan), and today McIntyre to Pompey for £ 75 000. Top scorer Harvey Knibbs has also been linked with a move before the transfer window closes on Thursday. They`re in serious trouble.

Why aren’t we snapping up any of these fire sale Reading players? I’d happily have the number 11 who ruined Sweeney for 45 mins on Saturday.

[Proposition Joe]

Well two of them (I think) went to Luton who may just be a more attractive proposition at the moment.
