Comrade 86 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 DET saying Charlton backtracked and accepted Derby's 2nd offer - £250k. That's good business if so. In any case, he looks one to get bums off seats and I'm looking forward to seeing him play. On a general note, with the players we've managed to secure on longer contracts, I reckon this has been a quietly progressive window for the club. We seem to have adopted a 'we won't sell for beans and we won't overpay either' kinda stance and I like it a lot. Whatever else happens, we'll start next year in probably our most robust financial health in years, hopefully coinciding with our first game back in the Championship. And on that note, how about that midfield fix, Mr Clowes? I reckon that might just about do it, don't you? Oh, and the big lad in on loan if there's still coins down the back of the sofa. We don't ask for much, you know! 😋 emjem, Andrew3000, Carnero and 17 others 11 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please forgive my negativity but it always seems that other clubs are waiting for us to turn up and be dumped on. If we are to return to the heights we believe we deserve the scouting has to improve radically He was man of the match but not sure how? Besides the point though. We need to strengthen to try and make top two! Good recruitment is probably one of the most important things for a football club. Can’t avoid it.

hintonsboots Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 The lad Clowes is having a good window so far. As @Comrade 86 points out, it is refreshing to see some financial prudence from our owner after the Mel Morris era. If we can get Smith on loan and another option in central midfield, that will do it. Some posters shying away from the reported CBT fee, but if we improve him, his value could easily quadruple, on top of his contribution to the team.
