Watson says Palmer passed medical and all but done but that's it for us tonight on 20:14 - Feb 3 with 4608 views | portmanking | What a strange end to the transfer window. A Champ goalie that doesn't really fit the brief and a Chelsea U21 development player. With Delap almost certain to have a two-game ban at some point, are we really going to rely on Hirst alone?! Obviously we are. And the CM situation is only going to get more infuriating as the season goes on and Morsy/Cajuste get ever more weary. Ah well. |  | |  |

After Saturday my hope of survival was low but that's it for me. We don't have the strength in depth. A central midfielder and striker would have made a real difference. |  |

Have Julio filling in, did a good job by all accounts on Saturday. |  |

Still think we will make a fight of it but was hoping for Downes even if unlikely. Little bit disappointing that there's nothing else. Unless there's a late surprise but Watson wouldn't say that unless he was fairly certain. |  | |  |

He'll have been briefed by Marcus Nash that there's nothing else imminent, I'm sure. Downes situation is a disappointing one. His missus is from Ipswich too. But when players sign these 5 year+ deals, they are effectively handing all the power to the clubs since there's so much value left in their contracts. |  | |  |

You need to get over the keeper. We need cover and he's a decent option. If we just have a solid keeper it gives us a chance. 14 games to go and 3 points from safety. Time to get a grip. |  |

Yeah. I want to go back to May and we try this recruitment lark again. More misses than hits I'm afraid. |  |

"Very poor transfer window" Not having a go, but what exactly did you expect from this window? Be realistic, in so far we are in the bottom 3, probably have one of the lowest wage budgets and there hasn't exactly been loads of movement anywhere. I'm curious. |  | |  |

Nah, we need more than a solid keeper. We needed one that'll help us retain possession and actually get our creative players into the game. Shot-stopping is a prerequisite (as Roy Keane attests). The GK position is the biggest screw up of our squad this season and we're just compounding it with Palmer, I'm afraid. But we needed a CM even more TBH, given that Morsy's energy bar is flashing red and Cajuste is a knee injury waiting to happen. 4 points from safety in reality, too. |  | |  |

3.5 year deal. Clearly got some faith in him. Maybe you should give him a chance? |  |

Watson says Palmer passed medical and all but done but that's it for us tonight on 20:34 - Feb 3 with 3371 views | warky_1970 | The scattergun approach in the summer where we seemed to sign a player every two to three days has been our ruin. Wasted tens of millions on Championship players that offered little if any improvement to the squad. Should have held half that money back to see what we REALLY needed come January which is now clearly evident. We have about a dozen wingers and two strikers. Awful team/squad management by the CEO and manager. Hopefully Ashton will learn. McKenna will be long gone come the next transfer window. [Post edited 3 Feb 20:35]

I agree with the Palmer signing; think it's a sensible one considering our current situation. But no central midfielder or striker? I would have personally gambled on bringing Iheanacho in on loan from Sevilla if we didn't have any other options. And presumably the lack of finances available for Downes makes me really regret the signing of Clarke (at this stage). |  |

Agree, the lack of a striker is very disappointing. |  |

Well, he's not gonna sign for a 1 year contract, is he? I'd love to be proved wrong, but even if we were in the Champ I'd be finding his signing a strange fit for us, so to do it as a Prem club? Hmm. |  | |  |

No issue on that as far as I'm concerned, just awaiting medical results. |  | |  |

Jesus F... you've posted you don't like this keeper about 20 times now. I think we get it! I asked you "Where are we going to loan a prem-standard goalkeeper from who isn't already playing in the prem?" and "If there's a keeper out there who is that good why would his team loan him to us?!" but you never did answer. |  |
