Would you care to name these solid, experienced players of a good age that are available, within budget and happy to come down here mid season, with no gaurentee what level of football they will be playing next year?
The fact that Hargreaves is looking at the very same people AK was looking at (Rendell, Cooper) tells me that the pool of players we can attract at this moment in time is very small and the likes of the above are the best sort of player we can get right now. In fact we were only able to sign cooper because the board has decided to give CH tore money than they gave AK.
Here's a novel ideal.. Instead of presuming someone we have signed is crap before they have even arrived at the ground. why don't you wait until you have seen him play and actually.. You know.. Support him?

Don't forget Brucie is the most negative person since negative people were invented and I'm yet to read a single post from him that errs on the positive side !!!
But that's only my opinion ..................................
PS Welcome Aidan BTW

If you looked up the word "support" in the dictionary, it would say "the opposite of Brucie"

I am encouraged that Jesus has been chasing this guy since day 1. My worry was he phoned up about Marquis and got told no but we do have someone we could lend you!

Marquis is already earmarked for Northampton. On a positive note the "deal" for Carthorse Rendell has fallen through, and even more positive news is that Stevens hasn't signed as yet - hopefully that won't happen either.
Remarkably the He are saying that Hargreaves is chasing another striker before Friday - bloody hell, how many more do we want?

According to a Millwall fan, they have high hopes for O'Brien. Apparently doing very well at ROI U21 level and is "far, far better than Marquis".
Fingers crossed he can bag a few..

Fingers crossed he can get some game time and spend the month sat indoors watching the rain come down.

Lets leave Bodin,Chapple and Benyon on the bench. Lets hope its off - at least it won't be another defeat.
Its probably early days and unfair but is it just me or are Hargreaves/Hodges not inspiring anymore confidence than Knill did?
the three new players can't really put us in a much worse position than we find ourselves at the moment, so yes, we should start with the new boys!

He sounds like an encouraging youngster, much like Goodwin. Hopefully with those two and Stockley all signing for one month, at least two will be extended till the end of the season, otherwise we will get to February and have no strikers.

We need to let Chris get on with it as beggars can't be choosers.

O'Brien had a loan spell at League 1 Crawley Town in February 2013 (highly recommended as a player with potential by Steve Coppell as Crawley Director of Football) by manager Ritchie Barker ... who is now manager at Portsmouth!
