So rumours so far have us linked to a LB (Bristow) a CB (liverpool lad) and a CDM (JDH). That'd be a decent start.

JB's post match presser word for word suggests he doesn't think we'll have anyone in before Wycombe, ouch...... He'd have a word for a manager that was so short in one area due to poor recruitment JB's record in transfer windows has been pretty good so far, so I think we need to trust him to bring in the right players even if timing isn't 100% what us impatient fans would like.

I'm being tongue in cheek hence the but "impatient" isnt really fair. We have one fit CB!

Archie Collins not given Exeter Captaincy that was up for grabs... despite over 200 games and academy boy. Departure? Was always gonna be Sweeney considering his age and how many games he has played for them. Whenever Matt Jay wasn't in the side Sweeney always took the armband but I have heard that Rotherham are after Archie Collins who will command a fee. Interesting that Jevani Brown was left out Saturday after refusing to sign a contract extension but came on and scored the equaliser. Point proven by the player. It wouldn't surprise me if Rotherham were interested in taking him in the summer as well.

I think Swindon signing Jake Cain on a permanent deal from Liverpool could be smart long term business. If they can convert the potential he has shown in underage football then they could have a real gem on their hands. Attachment Deleted

Angus MacDonald, interesting ourselves, Burton & Shrewsbury…. He follows Joey on social media! All jokes aside, it wouldn’t inspire me as a huge signing, he’s struggled to make an impact at Champ / L1 level I believe?

Swindon fans views seem mixed on him but it could be that while not a big name player he has the ability to organise and marshall the defence. Being at Swindon means he wouldn't have to move and as their captain could be that old wise head we need at the back.

Seems Ethan Bristow deal is £150k plus Harvey Saunders. Decent fee being spent again. Fair play to all involved as he was linked with Port Vale / Posh this window too. "decent fee being paid again" as things stand it's just a rumour posted on a forum by a Tranmere fan, £150K seems a massive fee for Rovers to pay on a young unproven L2 LWB, when we only paid £50K Loft.

Seen on Twitter Leeds fans suggesting us as a potential location for young forward Max Dean. Not sure whether it is an ITK bit of info or a random shout.

Loft was undisclosed. James Connolly, James Belshaw, Jordan Rossiter, Luke McCormick and even Zain Westbrooke all signed for undisclosed fees. Would you like to guess what we paid for each of them as well?

Would much prefer Marcel Lavinier from Swindon who looks an excellent defender. Can play both full back positions and even fill in at centre back.

It's fine having a 30-60 second promo to show someones ability (but don't forget George Weahs cousin who sent Greame Souness a video of him in action and was subsequently was signed for the Saints but was actually no better than Downs standard!).
There is more than just ability, as no doubt we have had lots of skilful players at the mem in the past. If they lack application, are big headed and lazy and have a host of other bad traits, they will probably not be very good signings.
Just knowing people within football clubs and having good contacts who can provide info on the person, as well as the player can be extremely useful.

DC has turned down the opportunity of taking over at Pompey it seems according to Radio Stoke.

Right, lets get some effin defenders in today please. Be nice if they could train with the boys ahead of the Wycombe test. No news on Gibson, so assuming he will still be out

Not so sure, loans have been , by and large, good but players like McCormick, Rodman and others, have not come up to muster………yet
