Think we usually have one of these, easy to keep things in one place.
What's everyone's hopes?
I think we'll get a striker in, but wouldn't be surprised if we try and bring another midfielder in, with no sign of Gunnarsson or Bryson. Perhaps someone like McGinn from Hibs.
I'd be quite content with that.
This is just guess work btw, before anyone gets too excited :hehe:!

Yes but when the window SLAMS SHUT, you will be glad to see that. Jim White has made a career out of being on shift when Man City bought Robinho.
That does my head in too. Doesn't a door slam shut? Closing a window is more of a faff.

Unless I've missed it, nobody seems to have commented on the possibility of Bogle going to Bolton. He hasn't set the world alight in his few months with us, but his finish against Norwich was top class and I was hoping he'd come good next season.

ccfcwelshlad
31-01-18, 17:50
When I first heard about this swap this morning, I initially laughed it off; before realising it was true!!!
More I think about it the more it makes sense though. Tomlin wants to move back closer to home in Leicester, certainly at least temporary and he's not going to get any game time here; that's becoming more clear.
Jamie Ward is an option from the bench; very energetic and could be a good fold for Zohore against tiring defences.
It's a strange move though I agree.
Phil Silvers
31-01-18, 17:57
So what is Ward going to add to the squad? Isn't he a winger? We already have five wingers! Seven appearances from the bench for Forest. Seems like just another body to pad out the squad, a bit like Halford.

Can play up front too. Agree it's padding out the squad a bit though.
The Bob Banker Spanker
31-01-18, 18:16
We need players to change the squad not pad it out.
We’ve gone stale and need a bit more energy up front and in the centre of midfield. Last thing we need is another bloody winger.
ccfcwelshlad
31-01-18, 18:21
One more in and one more out I'd guess. Player out won't be seen as much of a loss by most. No idea who the player coming in might be, hopefully a CM!

In addition to them 2.
Though Forest just signed Ben Watson and have already signed a midfielder today; so could mean that Tomlin move has gone cold for some reason. Not sure if that would cause an issue with Jamie Ward. He was on his way to Millwall as of yesterday evening!!

Hope Warnock sees something in him that we dont see. From what I remember hes not even that good in the air.
Jamie Ward? - surely no need for this.

If it makes anyone feel better just put a cardboard cutout of Tomlin near the bench and essentially it will be the same thing.

Rob Phillips suggesting still could be another. :thumbup:.

Can't remember what I have or haven't posted. Tomlin keen to go back to where he lives due to circumstances and was keen on this move, at least in the short term.
NW didn't expect his involvement to increase much over next couple of months so agreed to deal.
There's obviously been issues but I enjoy watching footballers who can do more than run and tackle. Only Hoillet left now, oh well

Just seen that.
Maybe one more? Couldn’t even guess at a name.

We've got Halford still. Don't worry.
I was delighted when we signed Tomlin but it really hasn't worked out. Pilks and Hoilett our two best footballers. After those two, God knows.

I'd say Grujic is good technically, just needs to find his feet and get match fit.
Jacks have signed Andy King on loan, we could have had him

If Bogle stays we’ve now got four strikers and Pilks. Plus the two midfielders. Not a bad bit of business.

I think the Wildschut and Grujic signings are the key ones this window. I'm looking forward to seeing them settle in a bit more as they bring the ability to play through our opponents on the ground.
Will be interesting to see how we line up against Leeds and if Zohore gets dropped in favour of Madine. The first choice front line and midfield could be really exciting if it gels:
Grujic
Ralls Paterson
Hoillett KZ/GM Wildschut
At least we've now got options to freshen things up, even if Madine is not getting anyone's pulse racing at the moment
Rob Phillips hinted at another signing, any ideas?

We've got a heavy run of games coming up. I worry that we are thin in midfield with injuries etc. Hopefully Bryson not far off.

Mitrovic gone to Fulham, they’re looking very dangerous at the moment.

Well at least we won’t have the added expense of the playoffs
Are Ben Wilson and Ibrahim Meite back at the club after their loans in the first half of the season?

Yes
There is a lot of negativity about at the moment but I’m not too down about the window.
Wildschut and Grujic will hopefully be important starters and make an impact as they find their feet. I would have preferred Grabban to Madine but (despite his thuggish past) I think Madine will fit into the squad better. He is not a bad option after his form in the last 18 months. What went before is not really relevant.
The loans out all make sense - and all will be back in the summer.
I am bothered by our weakness in midfield - even with Grujic, and with Paterson filling in. Unless Gunnar and Bryson are back soon that will be our Achilles heel.
The main problems we have for the run in are getting Ken and NML back firing as they can but haven’t recently, and closing the door again at the back (and I’m much more confident of that now Mozzer is back).
We were never going to sort those things through waving a chequebook in the Transfer Window. That is all down to the coaches and the players - and the early signs are that we are getting back, but aren’t there yet.

That's the issue for me though Jon. If we had no money then fair enough but whatever the fee we paid for Madine it seems like a substantial amount.
I would have loved to have seen us add some good footballers if we were gonna shelve out that sort of cash. Kasey Palmer being a good example.
The lad Forrester at Peterborough is another example. Surely there are bargains in the lower divisions and players who can pass the ball and have that bit of guile that we are clearly missing.
Ward would have been great 5 years ago but sometimes I think Warnock is stuck in a time warp where he thinks players don't age.

Feeney, Madine and Ward signed for a team thats going from promotion to the Premier League. Laughable. Should have saved our money and stuck with what weve got.

I know what you mean but buying players from Peterborough etc aren't cheap! Also, I know Forrester was really highly rated at one point but I'm not sure he's even a regular for Posh now. Palmer would have been good but I don't think he's have chosen us over Derby but we'll never know. I am hoping and praying we didn't spend the money we did on Madine and while I'm not exactly excited he's here, Bolton fans are so upset he's gone that's a silver lining at least.
