Confirms what we are hearing our end he wants to come here or see out his contract hence why he turned down Colchester.

 

[BarraMatt]

Journos reporting Wrexham manager Paul Parkhouse has just heard there's a few L2 clubs going after Johnson, so because "he must be good" they've tabled an offer of £1.7m with add-ons.

 

[The Terminator]

I've been told we're looking at signing Kieran Sadlier from Bolton - Probably on loan.

 

[The Terminator]

Central Midfielder Jordan Lyden signed until the end of the season:

Leyton Orient - Leyton Orient

Official Leyton Orient FC Website - The O's

www.leytonorient.com

We did need some cover there, must admit I thought he was at Barrow. Wellens going for players he knows.

 

[Indian Dan]

Lyden is great - when not injured. He’s made of Weetabix.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Assume that he hasn't signed for you to date and is therefore not available for tomorrow?

 

[Meadow]

All our loanees from the start of the season have gone. Brentford have recalled Nathan Young-Coombes.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Central Midfielder Joe Lyden signed until the end of the season:

Leyton Orient - Leyton Orient

He was on trial for a while - don't know if we offered him anything or Orient came in and nicked him.

 

[ForzaCounty]

We've recalled Connor Jennings from his loan at Altrincham. Can only guess he's got a permanent move lined up somewhere else, as he was doing well at Alty and was always well down the pecking order at EP.

 

[RiftHouseLad]

Curle reckons we've 'held talks' about Danny Johnson, but the message back is 'not at the minute'

IE We've got short arms, deep pockets.

What pockets!

 

[RiftHouseLad]

Singh's mantra, save on two weeks wages and try and sign him on the 31st.

Random name came up in his press conference today, Jordan Cook! Fucker is still here, must’ve found him locked in cupboard somewhere

Good player always fecking injured though.

 

[womble76]

Brentford have recalled Nathan Young Coombes to continue with the Jan theme of ripping our squad to pieces.

 

[Indian Dan]

Shouldn’t rely on loans

 

[Sestonpoolie]

Good player always fecking injured though.

I honestly fecking despair after reading the Curles comments regarding him.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Shouldn’t rely on loans

Same problem MK had.
Hence their struggles this season.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Mark Shelton looks like he's off to Oldham as well

 

[GEORGE]

Shouldn’t rely on loans

Why not --They got us promoted.

 

[RiftHouseLad]

Mark Shelton looks like he's off to Oldham as well

Hope he does really well, Glad he,s managed to get away for his sake.

 

[Casey]

James Balagizi recalled by Liverpool. Said tobe because of an injury....hmm.

In certain respects I hope it is to loan him somewhere else. First taste of real football and suffers two major injuries.

Casey

 

[Casey]

Lindsey has said we hope to sign a keeper before the game tomorrow

We have a director of football, two recruitment analysts and 1 keeper. I'm not sure but I think I can see a problem here.

Loans should be kept to a minimum of maybe 2 or 3. Clubs at this level should just concentrate on bringing player's through their academy's and playing them. If you rely too much on loans you have to rebuild the squad in January.

Brentford have recalled Nathan Young Coombes to continue with the Jan theme of ripping our squad to pieces.

I would say that out of the 4 loans that have gone back to their parent club only Towler will be missed . Nathan young Coombes might've come good but hardly played because of injury. Maghoma started well but his performances fell away and Hudlin did next to nothing for us.

Exactly that although the defence seems to be working without Towler. Just need to score some goals.

 

[Son of Cod]

We've recalled Connor Jennings from his loan at Altrincham. Can only guess he's got a permanent move lined up somewhere else, as he was doing well at Alty and was always well down the pecking order at EP.

Poor Alty getting absolutely rinsed this window. Colclough, Newby, Jennings... probably Mullarkey. Pretty sure they've lost another winger too?

 

[Son of Cod]

Shouldn’t rely on loans

Yep why do that when you can just pay loads for Premier League players almost immediately after coming out of almost being in admin?

 

[Chief Rocka]

Mark Shelton looks like he's off to Oldham as well

He’s played a blinder here, 2.5 year deal playing on his doorstep, the likelihood of him being kept on here next season was zero, fair play to him, similar situation to Holohan.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

We've recalled Connor Jennings from his loan at Altrincham. Can only guess he's got a permanent move lined up somewhere else, as he was doing well at Alty and was always well down the pecking order at EP.

Got 5 mins off the bench last game and has scored 1 in 9 - not sure he’s done that well.

 

[Boz]

Not all clubs, mine included, can afford academies, since the changes to the rules meaning bigger clubs can just hover their players up for peanuts. It’s a shame as all fans like to see a lad who’s been with you as a youngster develop into a first team player.

The 3 loans we had for the first half of the season are no longer with us. Two barely played due to injury, while Simeu was recalled to go to Morecambe. With our failing to recruit many during the current window, it looks likely Logan Chalmers will be the first of a few for the rest of the season

 

[Posh Harry]

Loans should be kept to a minimum of maybe 2 or 3. Clubs at this level should just concentrate on bringing player's through their academy's and playing them. If you rely too much on loans you have to rebuild the squad in January.

But anyone half decent is nicked by someone higher up the food chain so the product becomes poorer than it already is. And when you’re in an industry where 1 and 2 year contracts are the norm, you are consistently rebuilding your squad anyway. No one at this level is giving out 8 and a half year contracts

 

[ForzaCounty]

Got 5 mins off the bench last game and has scored 1 in 9 - not sure he’s done that well.

Not scored much but apparently Alty fans have been happy with his contribution otherwise, played a big role in their turnaround
