Bulut today:
"We have contacted many players. Our recruitment is working hard, but some transfers in my opinion we could have finalised before, so we are late on this. We have to finalise at least two or three transfers in the first week of January because of the adaptation to the team. Now we are in the second part of January and we haven’t finalised any transfers. Now I have a problem with my squad. I have 15 players. Maybe at the weekend we will have four or five players for the under-21s.
I will still hope to have some signings in the next few days or next week. We now have two weeks."
Looking to sign Manchester United defender Will Smith
Will Smith ?? The fresh prince of Rad-yr
I'm pretty sure it's Will Fish - hilariously know by the nickname 'Have rod...'
He's not very happy at all, and it will rub off on the squad, he's needs some players quickly to lift him and the whole club!

Some transfers at ‘advanced stage’, when will signings be announced?
If it depends on me, I would announce it yesterday. I can only give names and say we have to go forward with the clubs, players, agents. Club agrees with the player, then the club waits, the other club might want to sell or loan, then the player gets another offer. There are many details.
I think we could make at least two transfers in the first 10 days of January. It doesn’t happen. Now we have to work much much harder to finalise until February 1, the transfers we need for the team to push to stay close to the play-off positions. We are only three points away - it’s still nothing.
I said before four or five (transfers) would be great. We need it. Two players have left. Ugbo and Panzo left. We have two players less so we have to cover those positions. It looks like we need five, maybe six.
Not very thinly veiled IMO.
Agree it’s absolutely bizarre we’ve loaned out players who would be on the fringes of the first team before we’ve signed anyone and now are struggling to put a match day squad together. Not like the market wouldn’t be there for Eli King to go to Scotland in the last few days before the window closes.
Here is one
Sam Smith, did ok at Cambridge, 1 goal in every 3 games ( ish )
been a few good transfers in the division already. Scott Twine to Bristol and Fabio Carvalho to Hull probably the stand out ones
