Sturrock just said 2 are in the pipeline,  one permanent and one on loan.

One player is nearly a done deal, whilst the other is touch and go.

All will be revealed tomorrow i guess :D

looks lke tommorow could be an interesting day then. with the potential board statements aswell...

I hope that the nearly done deal is the permanent one, wonder who they could be?

Get ready for a statement full of bollocks tomorrow.

Fatbury says it's going to be Barry Corr and Steve Adams.

And he's simply going on what the Football League paper said.

err nope he didnt ...

Im going for a Man Utd youth defender on loan and either Jamie Ward of Torquay or Duffy from Oxford

Blair Sturrock?

Is that from your source?

Surely it must be the permanent signing that is close because how can a loan signing be touch and go - because cant football league clubs still loan people outside the window?

that or he means its touch and go whether the permanent signing wants to come or not?

Signings, I'll believe it when I've see it! Here's hoping we can add something new to the team for the Hartlepool match.

Paul Evans will be back  8)

Sturrock said yesterday that he doesn't want to upset the balance and morale of the team by brining in loads of new players.  The team in unbeaten in 2007, and he says it would be unfair to bring new players in who will then automatically be a first team starter.  So im guessing for the near future, our starting 11 will remain the same (baring suspension and injuries).

I think he's looking at squad back-up.  It seems his main first team targets have been hard to come by, and he'll target the areas where we are really short (the right flank?), giving us cover for the thick end of the season.  Hopefully promotion will come nonetheless and it'll allow him to find players in the summer when we have significant squad turnover, and if we're in a higher league we'll be able to be a more attractive proposition (you never know we might even have a certain wealthy chap at the helm by then?).  Even if we make an signing or two I'm not expecting anyone that exactly sets the pulse racing!

he's said he wants two players for each position so i wouldn't be surprised in whoever he signs.unless it was a left sided player

That'll do.

According to one of the Wednesday boards, Sturrock was in Sheffield on Monday.

Of course, that could mean absolutely anything.

Perhpas he was clearing out an old house or sorting out some of the bits of business one needs to do when moving from one place to another.  Although my source told me we were trying to hijack the chartlon signing of Bougherra?  :wink:

Does our Paul not still live in Sheffield? I think he goes there every weekend to visit his wife, until they find a pace down here.

deadline's passed - although I'd guess that somethings about to happen - Adver not updated yet


edit...actually, thats rubbish - doesn't pass until midnight according to bbc

yeah midnight it closes! id be surpirsed if anyone signed though tbh

actually...is it not plainly obvious that it's going to be Patrick Noboussie, the right back that was on trial? the noe position we have NO cover

I'd say that was the closer to being completed permy signing.

The outside chance would be a striker/midfielder on loan I reckon. Though the way Luggy said Blair may be here a bit longer yet I'd guess at a midfilder. Then again Evans is close to return isn't he? Oh I don't know.

What about Kiegan Parker from Blackpool. good striker always done well against Swindon.

they wont sell him though will they Ultra?

Left back would've been my guess for the loanee with Vincent injured (then Nicho to cover LB and CB).

How about a goalkeeper to cover Phil?

I agree.I cant wait til he gets injured again

Actually I'd leave it unchanged - we're going up anyway  :mrgreen:

They might do rich. It has been Vernon and Morrell who have started for Blackpool up front recently.

Just read that Nicho was concussed as well - so now we're down to Smith, Williams, Ifil, Zaaboub? and no sub defenders!

We need some cover fast...  :|

I suspect LB isn't a priority, vincent isn't too far away and Sofie was signed as a potential left back.  Spare keeper is kind of a essential, but the loan system always gives you cover if needed.

Well not technically true we do have Charlie Comyn Platt who can come it at left back don't we? certainly worth giving a go, as far as I can remember Charlie has very rarely let us down when given a chance.

CCP can cover at centre and left back. Decent player.

Pretty certain Noubissie will come in at right back.

Well the adver site says prob Noubissie, a striker is in negotiations and that something will have to be sorted with Sturrock Jr...

In other words, they have no more idea than we do :?

Noubissie is a free agent so the window doesn't apply to him IIRC.

As was Blair Sturrock.

If the loan player was the one Sturrock was close to closing, then there might be no news tonight.

I don't think there's gonna be a permanent signing, which doesn't really worry me tbh.

Got a very decent squad already for league 2, as our position shows.

Lee Peacock = emergency CB

Thisis forum is saying he's gone.  My money is on a northern team around Manchester.

i'm not going to bed until we've signed someone.

now that's a protest.

you'll be awake till June then  :shock:

Hope not, I still rate Charlie. He lookd promising and more than decent in a very poor team last season, not been given a chance this year.

I agree

I rate CCP, and I think he is a player that can grow in stature under PS

saw that on thisis - if we let CCP go to bloomin Rochdale, we're not only letting a decent and versatile player leave to a go to a rubbish football club, we're also then relying on Nico as the only cover at Centre back, which he can hardly do when he's at left back. We would have 5 senior defenders - Williams, Ifil, Smith, Nico and Vincent in the whole squad.

Now you could argue that they're all we've needed so far....but we've been lucky with injuries and Jerel's bound to be sent off sometime before the end of the season

There's nothing on the rochdale website or anywhere else about Comyn-Platt going there, i think it's bullshit tbh.

Im not reading all this  as we have signed anyone by now thats it isnt it?

We've got until midnight YR

I see..how exciting

What with Spurs and St Johnstone potentially making cup finals tonight the world could end a better place\ :D /

Amen brother Yeovil

What does IIRC mean? :S

If I Recall Correctly

If I recall/remember correctly.

Its the new fashion abreviation that all the kids are using these days.

It also spells a rude word if you rearrange the letters

Thank you :D

CRII
IRIC
CIIR


 :shrug:

ok son...................you got me !

Exactly what I got?

Fucking hell Fred!

Never thought you'd write THAT word!

Disgusting...................................

There's more combinations you fools. Try harder
 :wink:

Anyway I was referring to Yeovil's post and kinda tied that in with the whole fashion abbreviation thing.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

For fcuk sake you're all lame

RIIC

RICI

No.

Leggets lame (Pussy)

I've got a bad bac

And Fred suffers from tia maria addiction.

lawrie dudfield (notts county - striker) to sign permanently and darren currie (ipswich - winger) on loan until the end of the season.

may as well start throwing completely unsubstantiated rumours around.

jerry springer on loan till the end of january.

luscious jackson on fire from bradford

Callum Best.

Not a great like his dad.

But I've heard he's good in the box :wink:

Leggett on a five year deal provided he passes a fitness test

gloria estefan on a month to month

Floella Benjamin on a pay as you play(school) deal.

Batman and Robin

I go away for 1/2 hour and the whole forum is full of randomness.

It must be time for my medication

Richard Hammond, he's tyreless.

Heather Mcartney. Although I'd worry about her fitness.

She hasn't got the legs, apparently......................

I heard Zidane's coming out of retirement. He's good friends with Zaaboub.

You just made that up!

whata pile of bollocks. nobody. at all.

2 hours and 45 minutes to go!

(don't know if it's been mentioned)

One of the constantly rumoured names - David Graham - is on the bench for Sheffield Wednesday tonight.

is he always on the bench there?  :?

Probably but one things for sure is that he's not in Swindon at the moment!

2 hours and 5 minutes and all is crap.

Get rid of the board and you may have seen some player movement

I'm not sure that even with all the greatest intentions in the world the consortium could takeover in the next 2 hours and 5 minutes.

Doubtful  :D

I for one am glad this Transfer Window is coming to a close as I've done very little work this month because of procrastination due to browsing to see if there had been any developments.

If we do sign someone it'll be a great anti-climax. I want to say that the allowing of Holgate to join Macclesfield means someone is joining, doubt that it the case though.

What's the bets that if we did sign someone tonight. It wont be announced till tomorrow morning.

Someone on Thisis: According to my only swindon we have got chris mcphee from brighton and toumani diagouraga from watford

You can tell, somone only been a Town supporter for Six months.  :o

As long as what I've heard is true - Albert Jarrett is joining on a months loan  :wink:

im hopeful !! someone was at the youth game ...  :scribe:

Yeah, around about 1000 fans.

might well be tomorrow before its announced // neway im off to bed !

You're so full of shit.

Fatters just say who it is then.

they (contact) wouldnt tell me .. had a good look in the exec area .. but dunno who half of em were ... all they said is that a potential new signing was watching ... have to wait and see i guess

Like I said the other day, provide some evidence of your "source" being correct and I - and others - are more likely to believe you.

Otherwise you're talking shit.

My obese uncle sat in the exec area tonight.It dont mean he knows fuckall mate

Fatters protect you source Sonic only wants to steal them.

It's Noubissie, text through.

Possibly the latest club text ever.

Has Fatbury ever been right?

Give up mate.

He said he was at the game and he was. :x

Suprised Weston didn't move on but that's a positive in my books. He, Timlin, Evans (if fit), Pook, Zaboub, Shakes and Brown all competing for midfileld places is a good thing.

Defense has enough cover too.

SO we are a bit short on the  a right hand side mid/winger and a striker but we'll be OK.

We've only got two proper centre-backs, Williams and Ifil, with a left-back and a centre-forward as cover.

If Williams is out then I'd worry as Ifil could drop back into old habits.

As Yeovil states he was at the game last night .. and according to the website he was .. tho I doubt anyone would have recognised him .. I dont put lies down here .. just whatever I can get out of people in the know ..

apparently loan signing is still possible some time this week as you can sign players on loan at any time - even after the window is shut
