Ilias Chair, very good player, the sister sniffers were previously interested in him. Agreed he is a very good player. Interesting if true that we were after him. Says a lot about our current midfield generally that despite our left sided defensive vulnerabilities and lack of an effective goal scoring striker, our focus is so heavily centred around the midfield. Not that I disagree with that in fairness and think the additions will make a big difference once they settle in. Shame we did not get him but we should have enough in that department to get through to the summer. Striker now please Blues.

On the WAB podcast they did float the idea of a potential injury to one of the keepers when discussing the potential of an incoming goalie

ok, wonder which one as if it's Etheridge maybe just a back up/understudy for now whereas if it's Ruddy need someone to be no.1 as Etheridge a bit too much of a downgrade for me, even allowing for Ruddy not being as good this season as last.

Blackburn have reopened talks with Duncan McGuire’s representatives. If they bring him in, he is a striker for those that do not know him. Just wonder if they bring him in if that might open the door for Gallagher coming to us?

Personally do not think a Striker will develop in this window again........but we're screaming out for another central defender we are piss poor here Ms Sanderson, Long, Roberts and Aiwu just not good enough individually or as pair whoever that maybe

Rumour about Ruddy has been poo-pooed. Allegedly injured in training and out for 10 days.

Mowbray confirming now it is RUddy and that he's not expecting anyone else in unless we get players out WTF?

Obviously depends on the severity, but I can’t imagine they would want to risk having only one senior keeper, even with the need for outgoings.

Nixon reporting a late move for Ian poveda. Can’t see it personally if we do need bodies out. Regardless he underwhelms me and has never kicked. Feel like he might drop down a level in the future

Mowbray said
I don’t think we’ve got any outgoings. To bring players in I think we need to have an outgoing or two. Even though we are encouraging some outgoings, it doesn’t look like they’re going to happen.
“You can’t force people out of a football club. In my mind these are professional footballers doing their job. You can potentially try to coax them into taking a move that might give them an extra year or two on their contract. But if they don’t want to go, and they don’t see that as an option for them, then you can’t force them out. I don’t think there will be any
Well let's cross our fingers nothing happens to our on loan non striker Jay Stansfield then cus
Juke is not able to play more than about 15 minutes Hogan has retired Burke is running from trap 4 in the 6.20 on Monmore T.Roberts looks miles off being able to lead the line
Apparently we're trying for Poveda from Leeds, not really a fan of that either tbh.

Apparently no deal sheets for EFL clubs tonight, weirdly prem clubs still have them though.
Deal sheets are what has previously allowed clubs to get minimal details in by the close of the window and get up to 2 hours to get the rest of the paperwork done which is why you see a lot of deals still going through after the cut off. That should be largely curtailed tonight though for EFL clubs, 11pm means 11pm.

(puts tin hat on). Would it be possible that Hogan and dare I say his name, Burke, are so poor that it's because those behind them ain't that great either? Could either + Roberts have a new lease of life with the likes of Ho and Pritchard there now? And Hall is almost back too (although Hobbycraft are supplying an industrial roll of bubble wrap just yo ease him back in).

Been saying for 2 years (and thinking it for longer than that) that he's not good enough and not likely to ever be good enough for this level.
Good luck to him, hopefully carves himself a lower division career, still better than bricklaying.
No offence intended to any bricklayers.

Blues would be allowed to sign a goalkeeper on an emergency loan for a couple of weeks tomorrow morning which obviously wouldn't affect the budget in any meaningful way so any remaining funds should go towards a striker.
4 hours left tick tock.

Isn’t an emergency loan only allowed if you have no fit senior keepers. Thought Etheridge is fit?

No, it's if you don't have TWO available experienced keepers. Experienced defined as so many first team appearances, I can't remember the exact number but we'd have nobody else that qualifies so it's moot.
