No reasonable supporter expects unlimited spending or the easy acquisition of top players, but it does raise questions about what has changed at PR to make the process feel so painfully drawn out and frustrating.
Am I the only one that currently has the same observation? |  | | |  |

I tell you what was painful and difficult to endure.
That photo of Stephen Ward, Cornell and some other sh*tter who I can't even remember holding their shirts up as one.
The bi-yearly 'Quiet Deadline Day Expected' TWTD post.
Having to get excited over signing the likes of Keanan Bennetts thinking they might be half decent.
Selling players for a fraction of the price they are worth.
Replacing Daryl Murphy with Leon Best.
Now that, my friend, is difficult to endure. [Post edited 21 Jan 20:54]

Make the wrong moves in this window and it could undo everything we've achieved the past few months. |  |

How many players did we sign in the summer again? |  |

Ah cmon.
Since the takeover every window has been very good from the club really.
We're a million miles away from 'nothing expected' on TWTD days of the Evans nadir years.
For what it's worth I don't think we will do much this window. We don't need to.
A number 10/CM I think.
We do not need a striker. |  | | |

We only desperately need a back up to Matusiwa incase he gets injured/suspended. As things stand he's fit for Saturday, so basically, we need a back up in by a week on Saturday. Plenty of time. |  |

Exactly this.
I spent my entire 20s and most of my 30s hoping against hope we would make exciting signings and instead most years TWTD said 'no business expected ahead of the end of the window'.

We’re 2nd in the league playing really well with a team finally coming together.
What are you expecting. If we sign anyone it’s likely only to be at the end of the window as that’s how clubs operate.
So what player has moved somewhere that you feel we should have signed?
We re not going to sign anyone unless the right player is available and they are going to improve us. |  |

There isn't really much happening anywhere to be honest.
We'll get a couple in by Feb. |  |

Forgetting town, it does seem to be a very limited movement window so far
82 signings in total across the league. however that includes end of loans,
AI reckons it's 35 incoming transfers | |

Difficult to endure?
I’m finding it nice and relaxing, without all the ridiculous links and will they / won’t they. If we get one or two in to add a bit of squad depth, fine, but if no one arrives I won’t be overly disappointed or worried. | | | |

If we’d have just lost four on the bounce I think I’d be more concerned.
As it is couldn’t give a f’ck really.
If we have to go with what we’ve got then not worried at all.
McKenna has said they only want to do deals that are right for the club, and right for ‘the group’ and not just sign players for the sake of it. |  |

We have a top quality squad at the level we are at. We're not playing catch up. We are only going to sign players that make us better and ideally can play level above. Not hard to understand why it's more difficult and takes longer as the players we are after may be looking at prem options as well. | |

I can see us not signing any additional players. We still have.s couple of levels with this team any new players unless premier level will not help us. Need to keep our Dosh for the next window. | | | |

Do we need to break out the list of shocking signings that preceded Game changer?
I'll start
Paul Green
Ben Pringle
Giles Coke
Nathan Ellington (not good Nathan Ellington, we all knew he was past it Nathan Ellington)
Sylvan Ebanks Bkake (not good Sylvan...)
Tyrone WTAF Barnett
To name a few |  |

If I’m honest the window has barely crossed my mind since it opened. It’s not like we’re short of options or failing to win games due to lack of quality or cover. What’s so hard to endure?
Adding to the starting 11 would always be tricky in Jan at this end of the league. Most of the players in it wouldn’t be guaranteed to start for us, or their club wouldn’t sell to us. A player from overseas, as exciting as it sounds, would likely take time to adapt.
Another couple of signings would be nice to cover some risk where we’d be short if there was an injury, but we’re finally actually seeing the fruits of the quite extensive squad we built in the summer. |  | | |

The other point re current transfer windows is we no longer have to worry about bigger clubs coming in and buying our best player for next to nothing. Or for something … but the money has to be used to finance our ongoing losses.
Honestly, we are in such a good place that these sort of posts are laughable. |  | | |

I read all the comments above and think, yip youre right, yip, thats a fair comment, but the stark truth is we are still looking for a striker that can score goals regularly.
Yes every club's looking for one of those. But every window, it seems, we are looking for a striker with those attributes, yet seem no nearer to getting one. They are the most expensive player ( usually), for a reason, yet despute our extensive spending, we seem to rely on loanees ( arguablly all ineffective to date in this current squad) , for arguably our most expensive outlay / position.
Like it or not, Id suggest Ashtons ability to get one over line in the next 2 weeks is the difference between promotion and no promotion. |  |

We did get one. But we got relegated and had to sell him the a team that won a European and worldwide club competition. |  |
