Good to see town looking at realistic options again

End of jan end up with a league 1 cm coming in instead as weve missed out on others whilst we wait on the unrealistic..

Not a bad player at Championship level with his age. Cam is obviously going to be loaned out also.

Be better going for a defensive battler though with Matusiwa bound to get another suspension and let's hope he doesn't get an injury.

Still not a bad signing for the Championship if brought in.

Know some will moan bcse of his age. And he isn't the usual profile of player we go for bcse of that. But hes still a quality player, so, imo, would be a good signing, if we can get it across the line. That could be difficult tho , bcse fulham may not want to lose him in January, despite the fact he can leave for nothing in the summer. Would bring good experience, and of course, he scores goals, which is always a help.

A 34 year old central midfielder on a short-term basis to add experience and squad depth. I can’t think of anyone else who could have filled that role for us.

Be a good deal to get done but think it will be tough! He’d only join on a minimum 18 month day and his interview 5 days ago suggests he wants to stay there, let’s see what Ashton and McKenna can do!

Short term deal for a player with bags of experience … sounds like a good option. That said, we have Ashley Young …

Would be a good signing. Still starts pretty regularly for Fulham in the prem.

Decent player, so would be a decent addition to the squad, but yep you'd have thought if age was no issue, Morsy might have found his way back to Ipswich. Maybe the dynamic of the dressing room has changed now, and Sammy would feel like a regression to Mckenna and team. Move forward and all that.

If it comes off, I think this would be a very good signing on a short term basis. He's very experienced, and has a good reputation, a good player. Assuming he's fit, I say sign him up.

Think we need to replace the Recruitment & Scouting Team is first priority based on signings over the last 2 years…

Harrison Reed has made 16 consucutive appearances from the bench for Fulham so possibly Fulham might consider an offer for him to help fund whoever they might be targeting ?

Be ok for a short term deal until end of season. Like I said on a previous post, I don’t see town spending any money this transfer window as not sure what division we will be in next season. Best if MA keeps his powder dry until next season which fingers crossed will be in the PL and spend big again. But if we are in PL again, we need to up our game with regards to recruitment otherwise we will come straight back down again. If town do make the PL again, I can see the likes of Walton or Palmer, Clarke, Ogbene, Szmodics, Young, Johnson, Townsend, Chaplin, Baggott, Humphrey’s and Burns all leaving to make way for better improvements. We should defo be looking abroad more, Sunderland have made so good signings from abroad and look like they will stay up. We need. More players of Matisuwa’s quality and less championship one season wonders or donkeys

I still dont get why we didn't gi bavk in for Morsy... he knows the club, the culture and we know him. And hes younger ( i think)

I will be interested to see if this comes off. Hackney clearly has his sights set on a PL move so thats not going to happen, and I suspect the data supports Cairney's fitness despite his age, as we have seen with Ashley Young.

Would be good to get this across the line before the league programme starts again,

This is right out of the Dominic Ball/Lewis Travis envelope. Someone who can reliably come in and do a job now....makes sense as we all know we are 1 light in midfield and suspensions loom.....let alone (heaven forbid) any injuries.

Good Player!

Would be a decent signing on a short term deal,along with top experience.
Need to get a move on though, Coventry have already added two quality wingers.

As a professional bell, I second 55015Deltic’s incredibly insightful and helpful comment.

Given the strong points he’s made, and with the expectation that every signing we make must be world class and hit the ground running with 36 goals a season, we really need to take a hard look at our recruitment team.

They’ve failed us badly over the last few years, with the shambles of signings we’ve made and the millions in profit generated from what have been, frankly, absolutely disgraceful signings.

Force: yes not hanging about they will turn there fortunes we need to be active,

Clearly a carbon copy move of the Lewis Travis deal we done with Blackburn to cover the imminent 2 match suspension of our skipper. Good player and he might even get a league winners medal to go with it... Or runners up or playoff winner. Lol

Can’t see it being a loan for half a season, so what 18 months on a permanent so Fulham get some money -his contract is up at the end of the season. OK he an experienced player of some quality, but l would like to think we can do better than that.

He’s a lovely footballer, a cracking technician, wanted us to sign him for a while.., but our talent ID really is shockingly bad.

Where will he play? He isn’t a CDM in a double pivot, and like Jens, Jack, Nunez, Humphreys etc he doesn’t suit that role.

We just seem to sign players that are technically good. McKenna said recently Mats is the only player with the CDM traits, in a system that requires TWO for 50 games, that was a shocking admission, and entirely honest.

But here we are again. Another window, with dozens of players for certain positions, and nobody for key roles.., and we’re looking at round pegs for square holes AGAIN - he’s an 8 or a 10, not a 6.

Obviously players could leave but we have Chaplin, Akpom, Sammie, Phil, Clarke, Nunez who all want to be in the 10 - he be a class option but it’s an insaine strategy we’ve had these past 3 windows.., no vision of logic.., sign the EFL team if the year, plus players with quality .., hope it works.

We have even more options wide right, Burns, Johnson, Walle, Ogbenne, Phil, Clarke, Sammie, Akpom, £100k Burns probably being the best option.

It’s so sub par and clearly where we are furthest away from premier league quality.

A CDM and Striker is probably all we need- and 3 or 4 out is maybe most important.

Definitely a top player who has maybe another couple of seasons in him at Championship or Prem. As much as we love Morsy, he really is Championship at best nowadays.

Not bad for the championship … some of the comments crikey. He still plays regularly for Fulham. What a signing that would be and back up for Matusiwa when he eventually gets suspended.

Rupbobby. Our skipper is nowhere near a 2 match suspension. Good to know ur so knowledgeable about the club
