Pringle would be an impressive capture, if the reports are true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Donny fans looked at it from that angle then? Bury are 11 behind us with a game in hand and we have to go to Gigg Lane, I'm pretty sure they have not given up just yet. One of the best squads in league on paper and yet well adrift at bottom, I won't hold my breath waiting for their revival to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latics22 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 We signed Doyle on the last day of the window sometimes it’s better to wait. I’m more concerned that the target players for corney are the same for lemsibaby. I getting the impression he’s about as rich as corney, but has a bit more ambition. Similar to the ambition the 3 amigos had until they realised it’s not that easy and very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last sentence is exactly my concern....hope to be proved wrong but what little we have been told about the deal makes me very nervous....Leyton Orient anyone?

All if, buts and maybes. You pay over the odds if you do it early, from a weak negotiating position. Players wait, so often the better players are later. Our last minute signings have been due to lack of funds ando so earlier targets would be out of the question anyway. it remains to be seen if we get the funds this window.

I doubt we’ll be paying anything anyway. More likely to be loan signings I would think. Bury have already got Peter Clarke and James Hanson snapped up, still leaving scope and time for more. Good business in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is known that we regularly pay wages late it wont matter if we get funds in the window as players will already be sceptical and go elsewhere.

Hands on Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I suppose Wellens must be in denial about our position. It makes no sense sending Clarke to Bury as he is just the sort of backs to the wall player they need. Some on here seem to have forgotten that we already have signed a striker.

Lee Sinnott Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 A top, top pro. In my opinion, our best captain since Duxbury. Heroic defending and some important goals for us last season. But, time is right for him to move on. He's been poor this season and is earning too much to be sat on our bench... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Absolute warrior, will be remembered fondly. Our league position isn't half as bad as some are making out so if moving him on frees up funds to strengthen elsewhere to help us kick on then it is fine by me.

deyres42 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This time last year top of the league wanted him, this year bottom of the league. Probably tells you all you need to know about his sharp decline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our League position coupled with our recent form is a worry, I agree its not desperate but we really do need to show something in the next week or two.
