I think Devine will be class in a side going for promotion. I did prefer Arblaster though. Thomas very average , Balmer not league 1

No agenda what so ever, I posted that he, grant and Wilson are injury prone. Though the personal issues were gambling, unless this is earlier For me there was enough there in the summer for us to target someone else and I think that’s been proven this season. Be interesting to know how many starts he had in a row before getting some kind of knock, before this bad injury.

Not at this level. His track record backs this up. He’s just not a league 1 player, league 2 at best and he’s pretty average for that level. And we paid a fee for him

Played 25 league games for Accrington that season. Regardless of the reasons he didn’t play much in the years prior as I posted. He was a risky signing at the time in my opinion with the personal issues and I don’t think it’s paid off. He was also out for them for a month or so last season. (Injured)

Didn’t play too many in the years prior though. He’s an injury prone player as we have seen this season

Could be a similar situation to Arblaster. Burnley may want to try in him in league 1. Be a decent bit of business for us - I guess Thomas will go back if he hasn’t already

Stop signing injury prone players maybe? It can’t come as a shock that players like Grant, Clarke and Wilson have been injured. Maybe approach a window where we don’t go for players with poor injury records.

How many games will Clarke and Ojo play? Smith and plant are ok squad players. Yak and jones aren’t at this level. Jones never fit either. Agree on loft, smith and McDermott. Disagree with you overall squad needs a lot of improving in the summer

Is it? It’s extremely weak. I would say only half of that list are good enough and one of those is injury prone. We’re crying out for a decent centre back as well.

He’s still at league 1. In a brand new environment. When staring in a league 1 side were loved by fans. Makes literally no sense

Arblaster to Derby. Now that is a loan that makes literally zero sense why so ever.

I don’t rate Yak personally. Think he flattered to deceive at the start and is a league 2 player. We over signed in midfield and left LWB wide open as well as up top. Same errors over and over again. I’m not concerned about the lack of signings yet it’s very early days, but given our injuries I would hope we are in advanced stages for a couple of signings - I very much doubt it though. We didn’t take the chance last season and went backwards and I think the same will happen this time.

Got my hopes up then

That’s a crazily good appointment

Agreed, to me he’s shown less than Shorrock. Looked good against the under 23 sides but in the league to me it seems he needs to much time and is a little off the pace. Not sure what kind of fee we would get given that we have offered a contract. Personally don’t see the benefit of him going there to sit in the u23 side

Rumours on Facebook that walters is going sjoke / has agreed previously to join

I like signings / potential signings like this. Clearly a fair amount is scouting has gone into this and like Jesse could hopefully turn out decent. No harm in a short contract to see if he’s up to it

Weren’t we after that portsmouth wing back in the summer? I’d be surprised if we’re not back in for him if available

Hopefully he follows them

What level is Irish prem? (In terms of league 1/2 ect. Seen Waterford striker is leaving on a free scored 33 in 29 last season, leaving to play in England. (Ronan coughlan)

Makes sense to sign Wilson up. Our forward options are woeful and don’t suit our style of play, Wilson does. He will more than likely only play 10 games but given our current situation that’s better than playing Loft for 10 games. End of season deal makes sense, re asses at the end of the season if he can’t get through with no injuries then maybe another contract. Needs more goals though.

There’s a lot worse places for a young lad to go out on loan.

Shame RE Arblaster but was always going to happen. This is the danger with loans. Fantastic player and one of the best I’ve seen play for vale period. Destined for big things and I hope he makes it big. Going to be tough to replace him in Jan. I think we saw the state of our midfield without him in recent weeks. (And Ojo)

If he’s on about summer (in window signings) then I’m guessing he is excluding Uche but leaving in Jesse as he’s done well. So by that count it’s 5 in 14. Either way the window was a right mess again

Hell yes, that would be horrendous. What other good signings did we make? Iacovetti is very poor. Chislett and Deborah great signings. Devine and Arblaster as well but both will probably go back. The rest have been very poor
