We are waiting for the January Sale.

If we can hold onto Jao we don't need anyone

If the bars are in place to stop any one leaving then I am happy or perhaps we could let Muniz or Vinnie sneak out of the back door.

Would encourage FFC to let them go, we need to sign a quality forward if we want to finish mid table (ish)!

Need a centre forward. we saw how good Muniz and Vinicius were against Rotherham, or should I say how bad

Remember we thought Muniz and Vinnie were pretty good when we bought them, no doubt we will think the same about a new January signing for a match or two.

 a striker is necessary. we all saw what happened with jimenez sidelined.

Perhaps we need a window cleaner.

I'd definitely take no Ins if there are no significant Outs.

Raul was not signed as a replacement for Mitro. Silva said exactly that. Muniz and Vinicius have shown they aren't up to the task. If anything were to happen to Raul long term we'd be in the cack.

We 100% need a striker asap. Easier said than done, I know.

I heard a comment on sky about financial fair play having a role here. I have never understood it and still have no idea how iit works.  The big boys seem to be able to do what they like without a murmus about ffp. I guess crowd size matters, income from 60,000 people generates more than from 35,000.  Is is that simple they can afford higher fees and wages?

Gate receipts, but crucially the many "commercial deals" the bigger clubs get. Like the fiddle Man City did with their stadium naming rights.

Yes Gate Money is a factor but the big teams also generate more money than us from Television and world wide sales of merchandise (in particular expensive poor quality shirts).

It's rare for any major business to happen outside the last week of the window, it would be great if it did but that's just how it is. I'll be withholding judgement until the window closes and certainly not panicking or feeling glum.

This Window has been quiet for every team not just FFC so I cannot see why there is such a panic about signings

The dog track holds around 40,000...how do they get away with spending bundle's on very average player's

Think the windows were introduced towards some excitement, think it did initially but it's all very dull until the last 24hrs.

Should just be a 24 or 48hr thing now. Saves all this crap beforehand.

Plus if the FFP compliance report is due out 14th then that automatically negates the first 2 weeks anyway.
