My guess is that is what he is doing, but our manager keeps turning players down.
 

The window, like last January has been an overhyped shitshow.
I have no idea what we saw in John Jules to extend the loan, then send Brown out (without getting Waghorn fit).
The thing which I can't fathom is we have limited forward options, yet Tony Weston etc will get totally dismissed a place on the bench despite scoring goals in the u21s and looking like someone who is different to what we have.
Zero insensitive IMO.

The Reading fire sale is well underway. They're flogging Tom McIntyre to Portsmouth for just £75k, someone who I'd really like at Derby. Good age at 25, experience in the Championship with 100 odd games. https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/24083056.reading-fc-defender-verge-portsmouth-move-cut-deal/

As already said there's that Knibbs there, obviously Savage junior. Why aren't we looking at shopping there? We had Carson and Byrne off Wigan in their time of need. Plenty had our pants down during the admin year. Time to return all the love.

I'm not too stressed about us bringing anyone in, honestly. It seems like we're struggling to highlight players who can make then team better and that's a concern. I'd love to see what Mark Thomas has been doing for the past 12 months - there is clearly a disconnect between him and Warne that needs addressing. 
If we're waiting around to see what Michael Smith is going to do, like he's the only striker in the world who can improve us, then the whole recruitment strategy needs binning. 

The main problem I have with Warne is he doesn't seem to have the right (any) contacts in the game to pull out a signing.
With Mcclaren you had the links at United and throughout Europe - I get we are in league one now, but why not give United a call and ask about some younger talent? 
He keeps harping on about bidding for players and talking to players, where are they? Seen very little evidence of this in his tenure especially the last two January windows.

Tom Ince available on loan, would 100% bring him back if we let Ward leave. Ince would be quality at this level imo

I’d be amazed if we managed to sign anyone. I think we’ve put all our eggs in the Smith basket and missed out on other players. What worries me massively is we obviously have a very tight budget so signings are key, we sign players like Washington and TJJ who are injury prone so for the most part are unable to make an impact, we stumble on signings like Waggy and Nyambe, let’s face it had Smith, Wilson and Ward stayed fit we wouldn’t have signed him. In our position it is key we sign players who can stay fit and are able to contribute. We can’t carry anyone. We’ve done well up until Fozzy and Nyambe were unavailable. We are coping without Waggy, Washington, Smith, TJJ who are injured and Fornah, Ward and Elder who have struggle for minutes when fit. That is 7 players whose wages could have been put to better use. I’d rather have 3 players who are available 9 times out of 10 than 7 bit part players. If we’re being honest our recruitment just hasn’t been a good fit for our purpose. 
 
We are 1 injury (Collo) short of the wheels coming off and struggling to make play offs when at the start of Jan we were looking at a top 2 finish. 
 
It’s just very very poor in my eyes and shows lack of a plan. All teams must budget and have a plan for Jan and what they will need depending on how the season is going. Is on the other hand will either sign someone as a last resort, a player who isn’t match fit or someone that no one else wants. 

How many players has he bought in to the Club and how many are any good? Not fair on the fans!

Warne’s signings in the summer were 70% flops- Wilson has done ok going forward ( naff defensively) Nelson solid and the rest are slow and injured and incapable of being better than what we had whilst Nyambe and Waghorn were fluke signings who do contribute when available 

Find it incredibly frustrating that Fornah and Ward are being linked with leaving.
Warnes signings (mostly) haven’t shown much of anything to improve us, and if we’re already looking at letting two of them go 6 months after signing then surely we need to be asking big questions of Warne and the recruitment team again? 

His football is dire, his signings bar Wilson, Nyambe and Nelson have been pretty dire and for whatever reason he continues to overlook the fact our midfield is none existent in most games is a major concern..
Sibley being in/out is an example of Warne not having a clue what to do with the balance of the midfield.
Why haven't Warnes signings Washington, Ward, Fornah, Bradley, Elder improved us? All just seem like numbers in the building. 
Add to the list John-Jules,  Springett, Mcgee, White and there's a pattern..
 

If we can't even attract a half decent  loan from Man Utd with Mcclaren and Huddlestone there, then I genuinely believe the staff are delusional and have too much faith in this current crop or we simply cannot attract players for whatever reason.
One of the two.

Imagine being gazumped by Oxford 😆
Oh how the mighty fall 

Hourihane legs are gone, been an issue all season.

Its simple leave smith and target different attackers! Warne does it every window then we stuggle to find the type of player hes looking for! Then we will end up signing someone because he will panic! Shouldnt of le5 brown go until we got some in if collins gets injuried we are f***ed another bit of bad management 

All Hourihane can do is pick out the odd pass every half a dozen games (his set pieces have gone downhill), said this for over a year that considering the level he's played he's not dictating many games. Legs went at Villa. He needs move further forward IMO.
Bird, like Sibley hasn't pushed on and needs a fresh challenge - don't think he's been the same player since his injury. Although sometimes he does show quality. Sell for a million if offered it.
Thompson,  runs around like a headless chicken and gets praised for doing so, genuinely don't get the love fest for him (?) Was fine when he was out injured, which shown he wasn't a major absence.
Fornah? Wtf happened with him?
We need a box to box midfielder a'la Bryson, someone like Brannagan would've been perfect.

We will make the play offs but if we don’t hopefully it means Warne will be gone even if we somehow managed to get up I don’t want Warne leading us into a championship campaign 
wrong choice of manager and  easier to say when we play badly of course but even some of the victories haven’t been great 
This group of players are good enough to control games but we don’t and that’s because of how we try to play that comes from our management team 
Lincoln was like a basketball match with no goals was way too open we could easily had won 2-0 and equally had lost 3-0 
yes we will win a few but can anyone honestly say the football we are seeing will carry us very far 
when we used to lose games under Mac1 we still often looked the better side the play off final being a massive reminder of that ….we go again Saturday  COYR
