Probably no more in this evening but I expect that the loan window will see us being a bit more active.
Incidentally how many loans and what kind of loans are we alllowed in a season and how many have we had so far?

Lets remember LOTS!! of deals are announced well after 11. If its taken this long to tie up the torres, luiz and carroll deals, imagine how long it will take to sign Le Fondre and Phillips!! time to sleep, dream and pray for a striker in the morning!! oh and a CB that can boss it!!! oh and a paul scholes of division 2, lets face it we could do with a winger that can bend it like beckham and a striker with the pace and finishing prowess of owen in his prime, as well of someone who can bang them in like shearer and a winger to go past players like walcott, been greedy id also like a gerrard who can spray the ball around!!!
Lets be realistic we are Huddersfield Town!! we have the quality to go up autos if the players play as a team and we get behind them!!
Sleep, hope and dream huddersfield town!!! and kevin phillips securing promotion with his 20th of the season

This threads been going a day, we've only signed a back up winger til the end of the season, our only source is Oggy, and yet it's the most viewed thread on DATM EVER And 403 online... Wonder what that record is? Its well over two thousand , im not 100% sure its accurate to be honest. Seem like an anomaly cos nothing big happened that day...

You can't promise anything - correct But I can promise that if we don't sign a striker then we won't make the top 2. 1 in 4 chance after that. 75% staying down = Pilks gone? Smithies? Rhodes? etc Leeds took the "wrong" financial decision to keep Beckford last season, but it got them over the line. The cost benefit analysis of pushing the boat out to sign a striker or not is that one sided - did we not learn last year's lesson? If it fails, we'll have to sell one of the gems - but if we sit here and accept it will fail, we'll end up selling one of the gems anyway!! Is it your money owd pal? No so do one ... Who do we think we are Dean Hoyle has saved the club and bent over backwards .... Ps kilbane wages minimal? Do me a favour he turned down itfc .... And do u think it's a piece of piss to sign players ? Obvious that today deano is trying to spend even more of his personal fortune to please you....but teams ain't just gonna roll over and give us their best assets ..... We have signed player after player and moaned and moaned .... If I was Dean Hoyle I'd pack it in to be honest Hold on a second pal - thankfully you aren't. I've made a balanced point, acknowledging Kilbane's wages (certinaly not minimal). If you'd read what I said properly, then you'd see minimal after the names of Hunt and Colgan. But that's clearly too much to ask!! :shake: We have an expensive squad - but a small squad, which is too small. Rather than moan, moan as you say, I've stated the signing of Cadamarteri is a proactive signing. I'm not looking at the short term, or reactive - we have 2 wingers, it makes sense to add to that departmnet. Dean's right - you can't just go on and spend and spend and spend. The fact is our top scorer is out for 2 months - quite simply, don't bring in a goalscorer and we won't go up automatically. Then its gamble in the play offs. We have 3 strikers, a target man, who holds the ball up well, links play well, an in your face striker who works his socks off and a kid on loan who has superb pace, looks an exciting prospect but can't play every game or all the game. Whether you're Accrington Stanley, Chelsea or Huddersfield town, that's not enough. We said the same thing last season about a big striker - the truth is we lacked elsewhere, but we all knew the big striker with nouse was what was missing. Dean knows as he's said many many many time before that this club needs to be in the championship to be sustaniable. Stay down and Dean (or whoever is in his position) will have to fund the club - the stadium costs are too high for a league 1 team. As he said last weekend, the tv/gate money alone adds > £6m. We have a budget, we can't spend forever, but your budget doesn't anticipate losing your top scorer for 2 months....or a bumper FA cup tie etc. Get cold feet now, not go that extra yard when its most needed (as it is) and all the work you've done before doesn't get rewarded. Its anything but a dig at Dean Hoyle, who we should all be grateful, just simililar to the comment I made last weekend - now is not the time to hide, its the time to be bold if you want that investment to be rewarded as it deserves. And as I say, if that risk doesn't come off (it is a risk, nothing's guaranteed), you've got Pilks, Smithies, Rhodes - and as I said, if we don't go up, nobody (sure there will be some) could complain if we have to sell one of them to balance the books.

Sounds like cobblers to me. Anyone wanna nip round to the ground and see if there are any posh cars with KP number plates?

All the talk of people coming in...its also good if we just keep all the players we currently have!
Just a shame we have re-signed Cads when really we needed a striker or a centre back a lot more. A bit like Croft earlier in the season..a nice to have player but not really necessary.

Specialun - wont quote all your last post. Very reasoned and all that but youre still ignoring the fact that signing players for the sake of it is nuts, they need to be the right ones.
If the players LC and DH wants cant be bought for whatever reason, I arent sure what else you expect them to do

Not sure I completely agree with that - we have 2 wingers, our play revolves around our wingers. If one is out, we have to completely change our pattern of play. Whereas we have three centre half options already, four inc Kolmar. A centre half would be nice I admit, but striker is priority.

I'm sure Clarky is still working hard to bring in a forward!

I wish that Phillips would hurry up and retire if just to stop all these shite rumours every six months. They're kinda boring.

And then try others as the month goes by? Really don't get this last minute scramble....
