I'm not convinced how good our scouting network actually is currently. An additional problem is that SA only joined a week before the window so, in our current predicament, it's understandable that he's trying to recruit the tried and tested who can (hopefully) hit the ground running. Who said we have a scouting network! The best scout we had was old Ron Noades, he unearthed a few gems in his time.

,..and as for selling any of our players. The good ones are staying and the rest are probably going to drop a few leagues and we'll get pittance for them IF anyone wants them.

With such a short period in which to get signings we couldn't risk putting all our eggs in one or two baskets, plus if a player's agent knows we don't have alternatives then they are in the driving seat. I wonder if that's the case with Jenkinson and Palace walked away from the table and said "fine, we'll go elsewhere", only for the agent to go "ok, maybe we could adjust our terms". I'm betting on two permanent new signings and possibly a loan at the last minute when a bigger deal falls through. Good post. There are more balanced, level headed posts to calm the hysterical starting off this nonsense. Good stuff.

Was reading an article recently that said about a third of recent years' mid-season transfers get done on the last day, so very likely we'll do something then if we've put so many enquiries in as Sam's hinted.

dont think we're fannying around. SA has said that we've asked about 20 players, and schlupp is the only one to have said yes. apparently we're onto second targets, which kinda reminds me of our infamous scattergun approach, a few seasons back. the only mistake at the moment, was not installing a new manger sooner, to identify targets earlier.
