If Blackburn sell Brereton-Diaz , then supposedly will come in for Dykes.

I believe some English clubs are looking at 20 year old Ben Waine from the Wellington Phoenix. We, he's about 5 light years better than Dykes and is a real goalscorer, so go on QPR, sign him. You should have signed Left Wing Back Libby Cacace, who is now in Italy. You guys under estimate Australians and New Zealanders. But I present you Ryan Nelson, Winston Reid, & Chris Wood as three that made the grade no problem.

Looks like at least one of the Villa players is joining us, Tim the midfielder….
Hopefully time to still get this striker done.

Great news, as I reckon our midfield was clearly short and expect Tim to challenge for starting eleven straight away.
However, we seen to be building on several loan players, which is a disappointment. Especially if not buy clause included.

Probably - more a case of no takers for Bonne than failure to get Archer. WLS also speculate with that with the added attacking midfield strength Beale will push Tyler Roberts up as a main striker. I thought when we signed him we were signing him as a striker not another 10 or wide man so was surprised he has not played up front. If Roberts is given that role Bonne will be even further down the pecking order. Beale seems determined to keep Armstrong and I totally agree - develop him at home into our style and he should be a regular next season if not before - better than him going on loan and getting kicked to pieces in a lower league and then try to adapt to our style next year as suggested by Gallen. |

However, we seen to be building on several loan players, which is a disappointment. Especially if not buy clause included. If Tim signs and with Richards and Amos getting fit our midfield looks strong. Cover for Paal would be good even if it is an older free agent after the window closes. Re loans, beggars cannot be choosers. If we want to improve than rather than just add numbers we need decent players and they cost money to buy - money we do not have. So the loan route is fine for now and we do have buy options on some and hopefully some will stay. I do not think we have a option to buy on Laird from Man Utd. I doubt if he will break into the Utd first team so we have hope of keeping him. The likely issue is that if he plays as well as he has shown already there will other clubs waiting to sign him at the end of the season. Maybe try to sign him up on a pre-contract in the January window. I expect we may see some late outgoing loans this evening to balance the books if Tim I. joins. Pity the likely candidates are injured but if they are just minor knocks someone may take a chance on the likes of Thomas. |

Manchester United have another year option on Laird (to June 2024) - should they choose to trigger it - mad not to! |

12 goals scored in the league, which is the 3rd best. Who needs a striker!. 10 conceded, it's defender's we need. I love
the way everyone is calling our new signing Tim, haven't got clue how to spell or pronounce his surname 😂. Welcome Tim and good luck at the rangers.

It seems unlikely we will get a striker in. I find this utter madness, but we have got yet another midfielder as in nearly every window for the last ten years. I think we will regret not getting a striker through the door. Cannot work out how he thinks we will fair without one.

Still three hours to go. If Bonne goes to Charlton now, who’s to say a late deal might still go through.
It could be offloading Bonne that’s causing the issue.

Bonne not been confirmed to Charlton yet so maybe he only goes if we get a striker in.
Apparently 7 Clubs in for Sam Surridge of Forest , not good odds when WBA are in the mix.

No news if Bonne went on loan.
If he didn’t perhaps he has not left and can give competition for Dykes.
Overall we kept Willock , Chair , Dieng , Dickie ✔️
Signed some good players in the window. ✔️
Got a good Goalkeeper, decent defence and one of the best midfields in the Division ✔️
Upfront we still never addressed Austin and Gray both going, we have a young kid who needs to go out on loan we are told, Dykes 2 goals in 18/19 matches and maybe Bonne coming back?
We also have the Leeds midfielder who could play some part up front.
Guess it revolves keeping Willock and Chair injury free and that was the issue last year, injured and we looked a different team
You can’t help but think last January we just needed a little something to give Warburton team a boost and they didn’t get it when we had a great opportunity and you can’t help but think a Striker would have been the icing on the cake really.
I understand they are not cheap.
Maybe we will try and pick up a free agent if Bonne has left ?
Sometimes QPR are a bit of tease , you think your going to push on then it stops, mainly due to FFP I guess.
Anyhow , let’s face it Dykes has to score sooner or later, he must hit that barn door soon. Just hope the point we keep dropping don’t cost us a play off place.
Overall a pretty solid window and kept our assets.

South London press
Bonne passed medical was going ? complications late in the day ?
Charlton Athletic have seen a deadline day loan move for Macauley Bonne fall through.
The Addicks looked set to add their former frontman to Ben Garner’s squad.
But Charlton owner Thomas Sandgaard issued a statement on the club’s website shortly after the 11pm cut-off for registering deals to confirm that their attempts to add a striker had fallen through.
The Danish businessman, in the UK for the end of the transfer window, did not mention QPR or Bonne by name.
“It has been a busy few days and we were very confident of bringing in another striker before the deadline,” Sandgaard told the club’s official website. “The whole recruitment team – myself, Steve [Gallen], Martin [Sandgaard] and Ben [Garner] – have been working tirelessly to get this last deal completed.
“We thought we were there and the player had passed his medical at our training ground on Thursday evening, but unfortunately there were complications beyond our control late in the day, which went down to the last minute, and we haven’t been able to sign the player.
“With players departing the club on loan, that frees up some space in the squad and we’ll now have a further look at options in the free agent market.
“Despite not getting a striker in, we have a very good squad in place and an excellent manager, as our early-season performances have shown. The whole group are focused on the coming months and doing the best they can for the club.”
The only activity on the final day has been exits with Alex Gilbey joining Lincoln City on loan. And fellow midfielder Jake Forster-Caskey also looks set to be a late mover as well.

Apparently some Charlton fan saying reason was QPR tried to change the deal a few minutes before the deadline.
From loan to Permanent, Charlton didn’t want per any nor did Bonne, guess we will find out if true?

Yes could be, have to see how it goes i suppose. If Bonne stays will he put a shift in? is Roberts striker material? lets hope so. The issue was not Bonne. The issue is we were to sign a striker it had to be one who would improve the team- and there is a shortage of them on the market and they cost money we cannot afford even if we offloaded Bonne's salary or received a small fee for him. If anyone can name a good and available striker in our zero budget price range I would like to know who we should have got in. Archer seemed our best bet but there were several clubs interested and the fact he stayed at Villa is more an indication that Villa did not want him to go rather than other clubs would not pay for him for a season. There is always the free agent market - not that I can see anyone there we can afford fitting in either. As someone once sang - you can't always get what you want - or words to that effect. Roberts proved he can play as a striker at Leeds but is being held back by injury, Dykes has to get back to scoring sometime and we have goals coming from all over the pitch at the moment. Removing the speculation of a new striker may even be the boost Dykes needs - he certainly has the backing of Beale and his team mates. |

I think the best option as a free is someone like Vydra who is only 30.
Unless we are going to start putting Bonne in the team and see how he performs .
You never know he might score a hatful and we can get some money back for him.
Let’s face it Bonne could have scored the goal against Blackpool and Hull.
Then again as Bonne didn’t go out on loan, maybe we can’t afford a free agents wages.

I think the option to sign an out of contract player is complicated by the 25 man squad rule - see my post in separate thread. The lower leagues had very quiet window - money is tight and they have even smaller squad limits this season (20). |

Then again as Bonne didn’t go out on loan, maybe we can’t afford a free agents wages. I could have scored those goals against Blackpool and Hull! Someone like Vydra is probably the best we can do but then anyone like him is likely to have the same drawbacks. Vydra has all the experience but 8 goals in 82 games at Burnley including a spell from September 2018 to February 2020 when he did not score a single goal - Dykes has a better return. Plus he has just been released by Burnley as they trim their wage bill and rebuild. He would have to take a big cut from his PL salary to join us or maybe he will just go home. Re Bonne I just cannot believe the Charlton fans rumour that we tried to switch the deal from a loan to a transfer at the last moment. We knew we would not get a fee for him yesterday and will not get a fee at the end of the season so just getting his wages off the books would have been a saving. Plus if he started to score again at Charlton another club may have been interested in offering a few pounds for him in the winter window so keeping him on as a loan we could recall and sell would make more sense. If we pulled the deal I think Bonne may go public about it fairly soon. The only reason why I can see we would pull the deal is if we had a signing lined up that did not work out so we needed to keep him as cover. |

No I’m not suggesting we ever bring Adel back, should not do that  It would be like bringing Neil Warnock back, they made there history, time to move on. Made to watch Millwall for 20 seconds would end me  It’s been a good window, we held onto our assets. Bonne will come out with what happened, I think there is a bit of a sulky side to Bonne, not sure he will be great around the team, hope I’m wrong, bit like an Adel. I hope Dykes can turn it round, he has never been prolific , he just has to get one a month would help at the minute he is averaging a goal every two months. At some point the club will address the striker situation , not sure if I will still be around when that happens though. |

Watching Sky Transfer Deadline Day, on and off yesterday (I need therapy today) just emphasised the madness of it all.
It has been changing for quite a while, but it really struck me yesterday how skewed it all is now.
Ok - so Sky really get off on it, wheeling in 'experts' to analyse crazy priced transactions, all delayed until the last 15 hours of a three month window.
Clubs, agents and players, tearing around to conduct daft deals that fly in the face of good business practice.
But while the Prem were busy busting the £1b window (Sky boil over with excitement) below the Prem nothing was really happening.
Forest received accolades when they past the 20 players in for the first time - this is clearly a fantastic achievement to blow £160m+ - no concern for the ramifications - no mention of the current environment of the poverty that many of the supporters are facing in paying for this as Sky just hike up the prices to pay for it. It is all pretty vulgar.
A few clubs in the Championship have sold the odd player for a very high fee, allowing them to spend, but the rest have to wait for the Prem sides to decide who they will allow to go out on loan.
Those loans transform the receiving team, but provide no potential financial growth - making subsequent windows even more sparse.
The slides for League One and League two just reflect the knock on as Championship sides try in vain to trim their squads (don't we know it).
Then at the eleventh hour, one of only two exits collapses for us.
A very depressing watch if you are not a Prem supporter.
But on the plus side, we did not lose any of our quality players (maybe January though). But as good as that is, what does that say that the Prem clubs did not come knocking?
Yesterday was one overseas name after the other - any raiding of the Championship was carried out earlier. Important that Sky have airplanes flying in to add to the drama.
Is it me or is it all a tad sad?
