The longer we don’t buy or sell the more obvious it is we ain’t got the dosh.
Hope to be proved wrong by actually buying someone. Hate this linked crap.

Think we have plenty of dosh for selling whoever we ain't, no? The question is more whether we need to sell, to buy, no? Patience.

Bit odd to be a regular on a site whose primary purpose is to learn about links if you hate them.
07 Jan 2026 06:44:57
Good point Alf. It’s the banter that attracts me not the links.

Farke has said no news until after Derby, we are too busy to look at it before then.
We have plenty of time to sign players.
For all the flack I've given 49ers, they're pretty good owners TBF. I trust them after summer as their signings were spot on.
Special mention to the steal that is GG, who seems as Leeds as they come.

I imagine players would be identified before the window has opened? I can’t imagine the window opens and we are like oh right let’s now have a look .
07 Jan 2026 13:23:19
Bet underwood doesn’t even know it’s open yet.

couple of points on the above.
1. we have got a lot of targets that have been identified longer term but we have a flexible approach and the players we actually get will depend on what we think is the right direction at the time of the window. The recent changes from Citeh onward will have changed our priorities.
2. Underwood is not the one identifying targets or certainly not alone. we are using a data driven model so primarily its the underlying data that helps us decide which players to bring in. Underwood just does as he is told.

Underwood is an embarrassment.

We only have "plenty of time to sign players" as long as the players we want to sign haven't been snapped up by someone else whilst we're still thinking about it. Castellanos was suggested but now he's signed for Spam, Dovbyk has been rumoured but Sunderland are allegedly sniffing round him too.
Wait too long and the only ones available are the ones no one else wants, and if our competitors don't want them, neither do we.

For all of the negativity we had in the summer about the window, which player hasn't improved the team?
Perri is a disaster but I think he can come good.
Okafor needs a bit more time to bed in.
The rest have been excellent and have held off opponents ten times their value.
The recruitment in summer was indeed 8/ 10.

Agree with everything there Mo, with the exception of Perri, who seems to be attracting all the negativity and responsibility for everything remotely bad.
He realistically had no chance with any of those goals last night, and I'd challenge any GK in the world to catch a ball cleanly with 8 players jostling around the catch zone! Newcastle's crosses and corners were exceptional last night.
The Man U goal was a 50-50 call, and he made the wrong decision; a lot of other keepers would've done the same.
Clearly bud, those comments are for everyone currently on the bloke's case, not just you! ??.
