This hasn’t just happened though has it. We have been without a decent strike force with pace for a few seasons now. We have done remarkably well to be where we are in the table all things considered.
Obviously movement in the window is slow and this year’s Africa Cup and Asia Cup has added to that. However, targets like Clarke-Harris, Blackett-Taylor and Ennis are probably available for the right price.
In the past we have missed out to Peterborough and the likes, who have an annoying habit of securing the services of our potential targets, Mason-Clarke for instance. Amazing for a club with an average attendance of around 10,000.
In spite of this, I can’t help feeling more than a little disappointed that we haven’t managed to sign anybody for the required areas yet. I’m sure RH had potential targets from well before the window opened. It’s just a little hard to believe they are all tied up and won’t move until any action from premier league clubs. Have we actually got anybody scouting in European/Asian/African/USA markets?
So it’s the 18th January Today and we have been told that not only will no new faces be here by the weekend but probably not for at least another 10 days. That will leave us just 3 days of the window to presumably pursue our targets, but don’t worry none of them have gone anywhere yet. Really, so just like recent performances on the pitch, we don’t appear to have a plan B if they do go elsewhere, or won’t have hardly any time to deliver it.
Let’s hope it’s all a smoke screen and the necessary signings are in place sooner rather than later. Otherwise by the end of the next three away games we might not even be in a playoff spot.?
