singe Posted January 20, 2016 Share 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. Christ that is a big jump and a lot of assuming. Shez was only appointed 6 days ago. You don't sign players overnight. That's presuming the players Shez wants still want to come. Then, we may have to negotiate with a club. You are also assuming they are not here already. They might have been training all week. Just because it's not announced does not mean there is no one in place. Your logic is bizarre. Corney has said money is available, yet in the the next sentence you accuse him of being distracted. It makes no sense. How can you know where any, if there are any, stumbling blocks are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsgrandad Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The other factor of course is that players agents know the situation at Oldham ... we don't have the means to pay transfer fees or big wages so they don't bother throwing any names into the media spotlight - hence no news or indeed media gossip. It's left to the fans speculation. Good luck with that one lads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is the teams around us are recruiting, in fact Blackpool and Shrewsbury have signed players who may well have preffered to sign for us, of course there are going to be stumbling blocks but we need players yesterday the fact Corney has said funds are available means jack :censored: to me the blokes got previous for failing to deliver.

We usually announce any signings on thursday/friday before games. Only announce early in week if it's either transfer window closing then or in time for a Tuesday game.

PlayItLivo Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Maybe Shez has his sights on players who will improve the quality of our team and talks are ongoing. I know we desperately need some players, but I'd rather he spend time getting the right ones in ready for the fight than signing no marks who aren't up to the task just to appease the fans wth quick signings. I hope Shez pulls one or two rabbits out of the hat which are worth waiting for. Of course, if it turns out like his January 2008 window where we only ended up with David Livermore at the 11th hour, then by all rights lay in to him. But Shez has been manager for A WEEK, it's probably not quite long enough to assess a squad for its strengths and weaknesses plus identify and sign the quality of player we require to improve. Give the bloke a chance. Edited January 20, 2016 by PlayItLivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're bottom of the home league table of course on seven points, then it's Crewe on 9, then the Shrews on 11. Chesterfield are fourth bottom on 12. In the away league table, we are 15th. Millwall are third. Bury are 18th. Colchester, Blackpool, Fleetwood and Port Vale make up the bottom four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Anthony Gerrard has left Shrewsbury, and he was on a pay-for-free deal, apparently.

nzlatic Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 This is what I was talking about - a bit of detective work needed to get our interest going. From the Chron... Sheridan’s priority is to pin down a new centre-back, and we understand a former Championship defender from a southern club has been targeted as first choice. If that move can’t be finalised, there may be a return to the club for Jean-Yves Mvoto. Is Shrewsbury a southern club?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
