Jermain Defoe (no longer a rumour)


Thats the point though you can plan all you want have targets but the world moves on there are to many variables to consider in th January window for any plans to be of any value ....such as covid,injuries how well the selling club is doing. its usually (unless its kids) one in one out and many may more you cannot account for .......Buying or loaning in january usually involves spending more money than you planned for!Thats why the clubs hate it and especially with this covid business clubs will be holding onto more players just in case so will only part with them if its a daft offer.Also is any director of football likely to say when asked that they haven't planned for the January window?
Thing is it doesn't quite work like that anymore. From what's been said we have an ongoing list of targets for every position in order of preference. Then if needs arise or players become available we make moves.

So the planning is effectively for the next 2, 3 or 4 windows, but who comes when will vary according to the needs of the squad and manager and what division we are in.

Sorry we will have to just disagree ..to me your describing a paper exercise written on tissue paper and doesn't hold any water imho! We need a striker its as simple as that ,we can plan but life and reality takes over!
Poor bastard.
One minute scoring into a packed end behind the goal, next blazing one over the garden fence.
Ffs what a sad day for football to finish your career in front on 6,000 fans and a garden fence.
Its got playoff final nightmare written all over it!

I'm telling you what Speakman has said in terms of our recruitment mate.

Obviously life and reality takes over, that's what I've said and we work down our lists accordingly.

Basically we plan for all eventualities and can adapt to any injuries or needs as they come up.

To quote Mandy R.D he would say that wouldn't He ....... can we leave it at this ..i have no faith in any plan for the January window no matter how long the list is (all efl clubs will have a plan)you disagree and have faith in speakmans plan.. We will be hovering around the last day coral looking for deals like anybody else.
