January 2023 Transfer Window

Have to say I’d expected us to have announced a player by now.

Yep, I've been refreshing the Twitter feed for a while now. So has Brommers, I suspect, judging by his answer to the club post about Charlton

We are now officially past "Shoretire o'clock"....this would now be very late for us to announce.

The disappointment when the club tweet a ticket update or a Cazoo advert is beyond words

Gonna love it if we sign someone upfront today and announce it Saturday morning - maybe announce a spare keeper today...

You know it makes sense...

Hold on to your hats.

Please be two midfielders.

If it turns out that we've ended up gazumping the Pie Eaters fror Adebayejo then I'll just love it Especially after the stick they gave us after they got McClean.

I know nothing other than people expected it to be done today and announced. But the Wigan rumblings do make me nervous.

The fact people have been so panicked by this embargo rumour tells you they do have deals close to completion.

Evatt will be fuming if we've been played on that one, when you're talking about literally "in the building" stuff.

There's that old joke in football that if it's even close to deadline day you lock the doors behind them. Bad joke, but not always bad advice.

Indeed. They were getting Gelhardt till a couple of days ago and I think it’s the financial situation that spooked Leeds there. So now you could see them on a last hurrah desperately trying to gazump us.

Have no idea if that has happened but guess we just wait and see.

[sonicthewhite]

Some talk now of Wigan getting an embargo.

They've already got a suspended 3 point deduction hanging over them.

Football league world claim we are signing Cameron Jerome. If that’s true I’d wonder what has gone on today…..

[GhostoftheBok]

Related fun story. There's a club who want a player. New(ish) manager in the building and there's a strong feeling he needs to be shown support by getting his #1 target, because he's only had one on loan so far. However, there's a lot of competition and the club know he's waiting on a call with an offer, but has set a deadline. So the meeting gets set up in the room at the ground with absolutely no mobile phone reception. A deadzone, nobody gets reception there.

The meetings going really well, then the guy's phone rings. Absolute horror on everyone's face - plan has failed, utter disaster, what kind of NASA phone does this guy have?...only it's his mum. Reception's crap, will have to talk to her later. Guy looks up and sees all the gaunt faces and says, "Oh, sorry. That was really unprofessional." 5 minutes later all smiles and done.

Ha that’s a great story.

How reliably accurate are they?

Dunno. Better than some. They also claim Leyton Orient are pushing hard for Sadlier.

I really hope if true that it’s Jerome over eaves and not over Ade…

Can’t comment on reliability but I get the ‘feeling’ it’s true.

They also just tweeted this:

Getting to the business end of the window now. All rather exciting

Yeah have to say I have same feeling. My spidey senses are tingling over the lack of an announcement today.

[BWFC_Insane]

Wigan just sacked Kolo.

[sonicthewhite]

Wigan just sacked Kolo.

Wow. That must be literally this minute. Nothing anywhere else.

[GhostoftheBok]

Whilst I'm also getting those "oh shit" vibes, Wigan sacking Toure immediately they sign Ade would be bizarre even for them.

Though what I could easily is Toure blowing up over their deals falling through and getting sacked.

On Cameron Jerome, yeah - that feels right. Third time I've heard that name mentioned in the last two days.
