As the transfer window approaches who may be moving away from the gas. Any loans that finish in January?

It's a good point , must admit i have lost track of the status of our loanees etc! perhaps one of you clever ones could put them all up so we can sift through them and , 'extend, buy, return. Ta .

Don’t think anyone’s “real” is up in January other than Chris Martin

Hoping that Matt Taylor is already formulating a 'Who is needed plan' for January.
If he can find a decent striker ( I know I know) I think he will let Martin leave ...
Hope he sends Crama and Woods back to their clubs if he can .... Desperately hoping Lamar gets his mojo back.
We do have a fair few out of contract in the summer so there is a reasonable expectation that a good number will be unsettled which worries me for the second half of the season if we are to rely on them.

I think we can do better than Cox, I like the lad but don’t really what improvement he’s made. Especially if we’re no longer hell bent on playing out from the back at every opportunity.

As someone else said, only Martin's contract is up.
We know we need more up top, so guess he and Taylor will decide if he stays if he wants to.
Keeper situation needs sorting, Belly probably signs for FGR. Need to agree that Cox is not guaranteed no1 or send him back. Happy for Ward to fight for the Jersey. New keeper needed if Cox returns.
Woods should be returned. We desperately need a younger Coutts and Finlay assuming Rossiter doesnt return.
Like CG, really hope Bogarde gets his mojo back. Crama can return and be replaced with two new CB's please.
A perm striker, a LB and a young loan striker too please.
Easy!

How many slots do we have for players over 21 left?

I can't really see that being a big issue, is not like the squad is already full of top quality L1 players? Getting decent quality players to join us could be the issue. |

Can see someone coming in for collins with a cheeky bid and potentially marquis on his way out somewhere close to London way.

Loans
I would send back Crama, Cox and Woods. Simply not good enough and we can do a lot better.
Bogarde we need for depth, I'd keep him until the summer. Vale is superb and we might have to fight to keep him.
Offloads
Martin I'm really unsure on, can't be cheap but he's our top goalscorer and does seem find the back of the net when we need him to. Lacks any pace though, I think I'd probably keep him and see if a L2 club would sign Marquis, as he's our highest earner and has only scored two goals this season.
I'd look to shift Gibbons, we don't need three right-backs and he's been a huge disappointment given the hype he arrived with. Can see him going to Cheltenham under DC.
Signings
I'd recall Belshaw, Connolly and Jones, all can play a part.
Main thing we need is pace. We lack this in every department, particularly in the final third. A quick striker and a quick winger have to be top priority, preferably ones who can finish.
Definitely another experienced centre-back would be nice, unsure if we will switch to a back three or not.
Lastly an attacking left back/left wing back, similar to Hunt but on the opposite side, would be ace.

I can't really see that being a big issue, is not like the squad is already full of top quality L1 players? Getting decent quality players to join us could be the issue. Can easily create 2 free squad spaces by ending Woods and Crama loans, if we want. And with Martin only having a deal until January we or he could look at other options. |

Find the Cox dislikes odd.
Quality keeper imo. Will spend most of his career above this level imo.

Belshaw will probably sign for FGR in January assuming he's not sent back PDQ if he's the unregistered player causing issues, Connolly can't even now get into the Morecambe side so not sure what we're going to gain by him returning, I assume Jones is still out injured? |
