Harris is an 18 year old kid, yeh he’s played a few games in the PL but for anyone to expect him to change our fortunes on his own is going to be disappointed, especially when he realises that no one in our team other than Hartridge & his long balls looks to play forward passes!
I agree with this. I'll decide how good the window has been at the end of the month. I can understand why people wanted things to have happened by now but there's still time enough. My wants for this season are pretty limited and basic. I simply want us to survive and stay a league 1 club. We can do that still if we can get players by the end of this window.
We could be 8 or 9 points adrift by February
Yeah, I agree with you. We should've sorted it in the summer. Massive screw up, I'm as annoyed about it as anyone and think heads should be rolling for it. But given that we didn't, we don't get a head start again for January, we're back to square one. Presume you don't want us to just sign a duffer for the sake of getting it in early.
Harris signing was a free hit and was delivered to us on
Or players whose contract runs out in the summer and the selling club wants to get a return on before the player leaves for free in the summer. It all favours the selling club because there are a lot of clubs looking for players and most need at least one striker. Supply and demand. That's why the January window is often seen as delivering poor value for money.
We could be, yeah. So what? Doesn't mean we can bend reality to our will. Most players who move will move late in the window... Not because clubs are sat twiddling their thumbs... All clubs want business done ASAP, but there's still a mad scramble on the last day. Hope we get quality in yesterday, but if we're not part of that scramble, I'll eat my hat.
Wonder if this is statistically true
