January 2012 So it's the Jan transfer window, time to refresh our squad with a couple of signings to get our squad up and running for the rest of the season. So far we have had roughly 8-9 possible targets we've planned to bring in. Out of these possible targets we've signed 1 permanent 1 loan and now have another player on trial.

After conceiving we'd have to bring in a striker to score goals we've failed to make progress with a player worthy of exciting any fans.

To make things harder we've had to now consider bringing in another defender with injuries at the back, yet we see no progress on signing a CB or being heavily interested in signing one.

Now I know the lack of funds at the club will affect our activity in the window and that's been increasingly clear in the last 2 years with Gibson being our only permanent signing. But the fact that media doesn't even report our interest in players makes me wonder if the search for new players isn't very productive. Most links have been ambitious with no concrete evidence behind then e.g. Defoe, Contaignos and palyuvchenko etc.

I personally think that the board has given us at least 6 millions to spend on new players having spent around a million on gibson and having Buddle on trial I wonder where the money will be spent

Hopefully this Buddle trial his a success and he starts banging them in for us. I hope Gibson can be that midfield maestro we've missed since arteta left and I hope with this what I think 4 mil we have can be spent on onuhua.

Call me ambitious but that's my opinion. I really think with us being half way through the window we've been more successful than the last 2 years but we need to be linked with more players urgently!
