We were limited in options on the bench on Saturday and I think that hurt us. I'd definately like to see us add someone up front to give us another option. quite who, I don't know.

or to cover the 1 or 2 leaving us ...

Good news if Manset goes - if Hereford don't replace him by the time our game comes around soon they'll struggle.

He's a good player, but Championship, really? I guess he'd be more of a young backup.

sorry to bump this back up, but we can forget about Mathieu Manset, he is set to join crystal palace .. http://www.thisiscroydontoday.co.uk/eag ... ticle.html

I think most business gets done as the window approaches closure. Potential suitors don't want to get involved in a bidding war if at all possible, so keep their cards close to their chest until the last moment. I'll not be comfortable until midnight on the 31st, because i expect our nerve will be tested with some (probably derisory) offers in the last few days.

To be honest that is excatly what i was expecting to Bucks to say, the club for various reasons has no money right now,he also said we have to be wary of any injuries which bears out the feeling that if required there could be loan signings.

I would not expect Bucks to speculate on replacments for any of our players,as it stands at the moment with Ellis ,Benyon,and o'kane still contracted tufc players i would suggest that there is no need or space for permanant signings.

We are now half way through this current transfer window and the fact that our squad is still in tact would suggest that no bids,or bids of the correct value have been received by the club for any of our players,however we all know that if such a bid is receieved then the player will be sold,and as a fan iam in no doubt that a replacment would be signed in the event of this happening,as our sqaud is already at a minimum level and the club could afford numbers wise for it to be reduced further.

Bucks has come out with it now - no new signings in the window!

The thing is Mav,the club can not splash the cash it does not have,as a fan iam glad the board are managing the club with there finacial heads on,rather than from there hearts as Tufc fans,if the club only has the finace to be a consolidated league 2 club then so be it,and if there is room for loans signings i will be happy with that ,should the board take a risk that does not pay off,then we will be back in the conference for good ,no thanks.

The current board have a very good record of re-investing any extra money they bring in,in the first team squad,there is no doubt that they will re-consider the position in the summer,and a lot could depend on whether we beat Crawley, i imagine that should any bids come in of the correct value for any of our players ,money would be made avilible for either a replacment or a 'loan siging untill the end of the season'.

We won't splash the cash. If anybody comes in it would be on a loan till the end of the season

I'm sure Paul Buckle manages with the following in mind . . .

"No matter how good the squad, there's always room for improvement."

As there's been movement, there's now room for improvement.

Two games a week soon ? Injuries and suspensions ? Loss of form ?

I'd be surprised if there were not new faces arriving, loan signings or otherwise.

Havnt we still got Palmer as well? I think Oastler often played CB at QPR too

Personally, i wouldn't have let Charnock go, but by doing so the manager obviously doesn't see the need for another CB. It would be a bizarre turn of events if we now brought another one in. I do think we need another striker.
