Listening to Steven chicken interview with nagle it would seem there is some sort of budget there.The get out was there though stating January is tougher than the summer. If the opportunity is there to pick off some of the better league 1 players we should,other than that I’d imagine it will be loans. Given that we picked up Burgzorg completely out of nowhere, it'd seem that we still have some sort of scouting network in Germany? Wouldn't be that much of a surprise to see us snap up a goalscorer from Bundesliga 2. |

We'll have a scouting information available for all professional and some semi-professional leagues across the world. |

Midfield wise Cameron Brannagan at Oxford would be a good addition.Would cost some money but he is out of contract in the summer I think possibly.
Be competition probably and also would he want to come.
Got to be on the radar though

Be competition probably and also would he want to come. Got to be on the radar though Also the question of whether Oxford would let him go during a promotion charge. They're currently 3rd. I wondered similar about Max Bird at Derby. Another player who I think is our of contract in the summer and would be a good addition. But they are also in a promotion charge. Either (or both!) would be really good additions but I suspect Bristol City and Hull respectively are probably ahead of us on their lists of who they'd prefer to join. |

This is the problem isn’t it.selling the club could be tough.a few more results would help with it been so tight you can jump up to mid table fairly easily tbh. We may have to fall back on prem loans and they are also risky. I think with the out of contract in the summer types though it comes down to the player because the club are stuck really,if the player wants to go they need to try and get the best fee they can before the summer.But like you say with other clubs sniffing around who would,you would guess,offer bigger wages it might be tough.The thing we can definitely offer him/them(they arent someone’s pronouns by the way)is first team regular football,won’t be any sat on bench with us. |

Charlie Savage looks like a player who we should be having a nibble at. Looks to have a bit of everything. Just watching him for Reading, and he wouldn't look out of place at a higher level.

We'll have a scouting information available for all professional and some semi-professional leagues across the world. We have scouting all over the world but we buy league 1 players, you think about the swiss league, Spanish league, Russian league, Belgium league, Denmark league, Norway league, Portugal league there is plenty of players and surely up and coming talents in the top division or second divisions that are better than what we have already they are certainly more technical and more physical players than what we currently have! and correct me if I'm wrong but I'm not sure if it was leigh bromby or someone else that said since Brexit we would definitely be buying players from brazil and Argentina i see this never happened lol. we may have scouting all over the world but it never seems to be any good! |

Only just signed for them. No chance will he go anywhere. Only just been exposed to 1st team football after leaving Utd. |

Would have to disagree with you there mate. Have followed his career over last few years as he is a player I rate highly. Henis exactly the type of midfielder we need. Can pick a pass, sit and dictate, or play a bit more advanced. |

The chance to step up a division (and as bad as we are now, we've got a better chance of staying up than his current club do). You'd think Reading might be keen for the revenue as well. |

Window after window we've known what this squad requires and it hasn't been addressed.
Surely those behind the scenes have no excuse for not having a few deals wrapped up for 1st January, or first week of January? That's what people at the club are being paid a good wage to do.
No excuses for :Just missing out" on targets at the end of jan; or waiting for other clubs to make moves and seeing what's left.
No more excuses
We need to spend a decent amount on a first 11 Striker, Creative midfield, Defensive midfielder as a Hogg replacement (Kasumu good for 20 games a season), Left sided attacking midfield and a right back.

Agree re striker and creative midfielder. Hogg replacement would be nice but not vital. Between Kasumu, REG and Wiles we have options who can cover til the summer. Right back - Turton is yet to come back, so again not necessarily vital. Left wing? we have Koroma, Headley, Jones - only bring someone in if they are a certain improvement. |

I’d probably say right wing if anything to be belt to rotate sorba,he gets through ridiculous amount of running especially in this counter attack style. I mentioned Kwame pocu at Peterborough,only 22/3 but played plenty of games.Left footed right winger so could presumably play on tmr left too if needed.He’s flying this season though so again like Brannigan imagine would be plenty of competition. |

Right back - Turton is yet to come back, so again not necessarily vital. Left wing? we have Koroma, Headley, Jones - only bring someone in if they are a certain improvement. We absolutely need to sign a central midfielder better than Hogg - he's been really poor for a couple of seasons now barring the odd blip where he has a good game - we just can't play through the midfield with him in there. Wiles doesn't look like he can play Hogg's role atm, Kasumu is injured more than he's fit and REG is a centre back who can't get in at centre back. IMO, we are desperate for a quality midfielder to play alongside Rudoni when he's back. |

With QPR looking like they will climb out of the relegation zone and that other teams will also be trying to improve in January I see 3 championship ready players a minimum level to ensure that we do not have to watch our backs for the whole season. |

Have an ex team mate living in Ireland. He's a former pro himself.
His nephew Haydn plays for Liverpool and I think is their u14s or 15s captain, and his son Joshua plays for Shamrock Rovers youth team.
He absolutely raves, and I mean raves about young Naj Razi at Shamrock.
I watched a few games through live feed, and my word the kid has something special about him.
I'd hope to god Town are looking at him, with serious intent.
Not necessarily an impact player right now for us in the championship but one for the future for sure.

Apparently top PL teams and Real Madrid are already looking at him, valued at £250K + If we were pushing for promotion we may have a chance, but our best chance would be to get him on loan from whichever PL team he goes to. |

A player is only one bad/freak injury from ending their career, so I've no real issue with youngsters chasing the money. |

I mentioned it to KN and MC about a month or 2 back, KN replied with he will pass it out on to scouting team, so time will tell if the club has done their diligence. Mate of mine said it would be a matter of time before big clubs looked at him. I believe former town player Lewis Nightingale is one of the Liverpool academy coaches too he was telling me. |

Don't get me wrong, you are absolutely right regarding potential injury etc. It is more the system that allows the big clubs to hoover up the best youngsters and then disgard them just as easily |

Nixon saying Huddersfield to cash in on Diarra This is what is worrying me about Nagle - there is no sign of ambition in the playing staff to date I get we can't sign anyone for a few weeks (although I would hope there'd be more names linked given the mess we're in). Regardless we should be able to retain our better young players. Diarra will have a decent career and we should have sorted him and other prospects with new contracts since the summer We've lost Camara (that one probably couldn't be helped) and Bilo as well - two more good prospects I don't see any investment happening - in new players or retaining our better players/ prospects |

We have no idea whether he (or his agent!) wants to sign another contract and to be honest he hasn't really shown enough to deserve one. I'd also be looking to get rid of REG and Edwards in January, assuming we can get replacements in. |

Diarra is an enigma, I've been a big fan of his potential for some time now but he does seem to have stagnated. He definitely needs a loan to be playing regularly but the club may have decided to cash in while his potential value is still deemed to be relatively high.
I'm not saying that this is the case but if the club have decided he won't get much better, then they would be right to sell now. There is a big chance that he does progress, as he no doubt has raw talent, so a high % sell on clause would be sensible. If the club decide to hold for now, a loan is absolutely necessary for him to progress but the other factor is his contractual situation, if he won't sign another then now would be the time to get rid, as he does not look like he will make a telling contribution for us this season.
