dannyboy55555 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Any rumours? Hopefully we will have a couple in by the weekend.
yarddog73 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 It is a little worrying, huge game on Saturday and everybody can see we are one or two short, bringing players in the day before games can be unsettling and it would of been nice to see new faces early in the window. I suspect out current League position isn't helping us in our search for new blood, yet another problem that stems from poor managerial appointments in the past 12 months.
Magister Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 It is not league position deterring players it is salary levels
singe Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Is Meppen-Walter likely, he's been around since the weather was warm. And dry. Edited January 20, 2016 by singe
HarryBosch Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 John - "Hello Simon? About getting Kevin Russell in and those signings we discussed....." Simon - "Hello? Hello? John? You're breaking up. Can you hear me? John?? No, he's gone" Stewardess - "Could you switch your phone off sir, we're about to take off" Simon - "Abso-:censored:ing-lutely"
Blue_Guru Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) My gut usually says if it takes someone so long to impress they probably aren't worth persuieing any longer...guess it depends on whether he is 100% fit or not. Edited January 20, 2016 by Blue_Guru

deyres42 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 We always do business on a Thursday or Friday.
ghostofcecere Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Meppen-Walter could have been given more time so Sheridan can have a look at him I suppose. Still agree though that after all this time he's probably not up to the mark.
bozman Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 We always do business on a Thursday or Friday. True. Deals seem to be lined up early in the week then signed and announced towards the end of the week. I guess it saves us a few days wages!

I guess it saves us a few days wages! Nah, it puts the them on the back foot and disrupts their preparations. Obviosuly , it has been very effective so far....! PS I meant to say it disruptions the opposition, not us, obviously,. Though I am not certain.... Edited January 20, 2016 by singe
Crusoe Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) - 23rd placed team in League One - lousy form - three managers this season already - either genuinely unable to pay top wages due to the SCMP (lower league FFP) or too tight to pay decent wages - glamorous location and patient fans I'm not holding my breath for exciting signings. A couple of loans (kids or desperate reserves), maybe a veteran free transfer or two. If it keeps us up, great, but I doubt we're in for a treat this window. Edited January 20, 2016 by Crusoe

Crusoe Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Glass half empty Heh, it's not my most cheerful post, I'll grant you.
boundaryblue80 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Debutant Daniel Jones - Friday night - 6pm - Edgeley Park - drove up from Wolves that afternoon, straight into the starting XI. We lost. I hope Shez doesn't leave it this late, this time!
mattsgrandad Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 A couple of things to ponder? 1. Somebody out before he can bring someone in ... and I'm talking about a regular first-teamer not your Fullers of the squad 2. Team not being paid on time for the last three months is hardly likely to entice anyone in Given the above....I'm not hopeful.

Wasn't the Danny P deal done before DD left though. My guess is that the Danny P deal funded the managerial sackings. Some more first team departures will have to fund any transfer dealings.

Point 2 is incorrect reporting, it was one month paid late. Not ideal still I grant you.
LaticsPete Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) There have been pretty firm statements that Shez has been given go ahead for new players and expects them this week Edited January 20, 2016 by LaticsPete
boundaryblue80 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Point 2 is incorrect reporting, it was one month paid late. Not ideal still I grant you. Not according to this. 3rd month in a row. http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/10/oldham-athletic-news/95500/latics-make-pay-pledge
yarddog73 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Correct Corney has said money is being made available to strengthen, if we are going to fanny about and do it half hearted we may as well go with what we've got. Once again it looks amateur and lacking in conviction, I suppose its a symptom of having a chairman who considers the football team as a distraction when flying in to Oldham to sort out his real business interests.
nzlatic Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Is the issue not just that there haven't been any decent rumours for us to get our teeth in to? As others have said, deals are normally done later in the week. Plus they do the media stuff on a Thursday so not surprising that there hasn't been any news out of the club as yet. We're just lacking a training ground spy, a personalised number plate in the car park, or one of the many solid sources on here coming forward with a bit of gossip.
