Just 14 days left to the transfer deadline. Excited to see who we will bring in. Oxford say they are aiming to bring in at least 2 more before deadline day, one striker. They are Looking at 2 stand outs currently via development games, but saying another club interested in one player. Their aim is to freshen up the squad before the busy Xmas period. Bury brought in another 3 players ( one striker) in past 6 days. We were really unlucky with Lee , so expecting some new moves and news soon??
 
13 days to go to loan closure, York surprisingly in 20th spot snap up Bradley Holliday from Middlesborough today ( midfielder on loan ) Who else would we loan out if finances were tight to enable us to bring in bring two or 3 ? Obviously we had funded Lee, as no Barney to pay, so presumably a wodge available? Hurst to get his form back or too valuable?
 
As Lee was injured training with us it's possible we may still have to cover his wages for at least part of the 3 month spell if not all...

Maybe off the mark but when I read Brown saying the deal was dead and there was mutual agreement, I just got the impression we wouldn't have to pay, may be wrong though, hope not given tight cash situation.. Otherwise would we have to send another out to bring one in maybe
 
11 days to go as Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank tanks over reins at Burton away to Wycombe tonight. Maybe a draw would suit us? Burton bring in Chris Weale from Yeovil as keeper as theirs breaks a leg in freak training ground accident. Poor old Daggers meanwhile bring in defender Ayo Obileye for a month on loan.
Meanwhile fox in the box Barney smacks in 2 for Stevenage. Is he the "new man" coming in/back as loan window shuts close?

Find out the answers to these and many other questions in next weeks episode of SOAP Shrimperzone
 
10 days to go. The boring soap continues, will it liven up on the last day, try to contain yourselves.
13 players have been snapped up on loan to strengthen squads this month for the busy Xmas period ahead. York, Bury and Accrington lead the way with 2 signings each. Unsurprisingly 5 of the above brought in to strengthen 5 clubs in bottom 7, although 4 have joined top 8. How exciting is that?. Do we need anyone, yes 2 more forwards to score goals , improve competition and bring us just a little closer to the number of strikers fighting for places in every other club in this league?. Slight exaggeration coming up . happy to let 14 of our 27 midfielders out on loan to rebalance the emphasis towards attacking play

We would only have 13 left. How ever would we cope?
 
So can't be bad news as Brown confirms Barney will return after loan spell is up, But contract talks with Deegan as his contract ends after Tranmere game, Brown wants to sign him, should we?

No we shouldnt. He has done well for us but its hardly like we are setting the league on fire with him in the side. Midfield is the one area that we have a decent crop of players. A middle two of Leonard and Timlin is probably the best combination, but i also like Clifford as well who started the season brightly. We also have Payne and the with Atkinson, Hurst, Weston as well thats not a bad set. Just need them all in form

No, surplus to requirements. He helped us through a difficult time and I'm grateful to him for that.

Yes we should. Loan out Clifford. No point keeping someone that's going to be released at the end of the season.
