Doesn’t really help the squad for Saturday if we don’t make any of them.
All the publicity came from our side, not theirs. We could have kept it quiet but chose to publicise it. Martin and Brown both think talking about something is the same as doing it.Yep agreed, Sheff UTD went quietly about taking Leonard over a 6 month period...

hows about Darren Bent as one - rumoured to be off to Burton on loan? he must be less than 40.
seriously, Agree with others that these players are unlikely to be first teamers at their current clubs. As such I hope they are youngsters with potential rather than old pro’s on the way down. A couple of loans would be nice to get us through to the summer.

Other clubs seem to quietly get on with signing new players whereas we always seem to make a meal of it with meaningless pre-announcements of intentions, waiting for the phone call etc. Just do it Ron, then tell us about it when it's done. This should all have been teed up ages ago anyway.
Can you imagine the furore on here if no news was given out:facepalm:[/QUOTE
That's the problem. There isn't any news. Just kite flying.
Edited for accuracy - We will release him and re-sign him when nobody else comes in. 6 year deali'm expecting to hear nothing concrete until 31st January about 10.50pm when we unveil our saviour Theo Robinson :thumbdown:

Probably Championship players who have been out of favour since August. They would rather be in the first team in Division One. Nothing wrong in trying to sign this type of player.
