Also, Toffee Talk (Everton news page) are saying we are trying to sign Lewis Gibson permanently.

There’s no way we’ll sign 5/6 players . 2 most likely but maybe 3 if we’re lucky Agreed .... its a smart call by JB " If we want to challenge we need 5/6 " So we only get in two or three and he has managed expectations downwards with no blame attached. I think he will do two maybe three and then revisit in the summer - next season we then mount the real challenge.

Just don't know why Rodman was given a contract extension by the CEO when he isn't attending training etc! Puzzled

Didn't want to start another separate thread but Scunthorpe have had a winding up order served on them by HMRC.Not much fun for their supporters.Having dropped out the league last season( imagine that!!!!!) things have gone from bad to worse.So happy we at least seem stable despite our stadium being Dickensian

I think a few are a little quick to bemoan talented players... Yes, we're conceding goals but we often play a striker at WB. We have some young defenders. Other than last night- we are competitive in each game and will only improve. New players aren't always the answer. Work hard on what we have. For me- and extra CM and another LB option are needed for numbers, not due to lack of quality. I get what you’re saying, but the amount of chances & goals we’re conceding this season from long, and what should be fairly straight-forward balls straight down our throats is criminal. It’s far too easy to score against us in this manner and I don’t see a new LB or CM (although I agree we need both) solving that particular issue. I’ll be stunned if we don’t sign at least one new CB this month, and I think all the other CBs we have would benefit from that man having a bit of experience, leadership and know-how. I would not be surprised if we either do not bring in anyone or just maybe 1-2 loans. I have a feeling much of the budget was used prior to the season. Macrystal being the biggest dud, so far IMO

Joey still wants 5 or 6 in, with three being defenders. Also stated the obvious that Westbrooke desperate to go. Best get signing them if we want 6. Less than 3 weeks left…. He’s very good at the talking part eh

Like the rest of us on here you really haven't got a clue what JB's been given to spend this window.

Mansfields George Lapslie is apparently attracting interest from league one. I wonder if we are taking a look?

Mind you I am old and may have imagined it

Mind you I am old and may have imagined it Yes, you're correct, JB did say that - you didn't imagine it. Eddie Jennings has been aware of the situation, and Rodman and the club have been following the advice of a specialist - he most certainly wasn't playing golf, so rather unfair for JB to insinuate it.
