        And I remember so clearly seeing his debut at Villa (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 11, 11:51:09
    - Were Crouch and Hucks January loans/signings? They made an immediate impact (n/m) (NCFC) - NorskyNormann, Jan 11, 10:42:15
      - No. (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 11, 10:43:16
        
        That was quicker. Thanks. (n/m) (NCFC) - NorskyNormann, Jan 11, 10:47:31
  - Unacceptable? So what should we do? (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Jan 11, 10:10:05
    - What will you do if it doesn’t happen, Karen? Change team or stop watching any football? (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Jan 11, 10:45:46

      - It’s not webber though is it … (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 10:14:13
        
        Well it is Webber because he clearly failed to sign a single player of the type we needed (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 10:18:25
        
        We probably had to go into a bit of debt paying off contracts for a management team (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Jan 11, 10:27:26
        
        Yep cost big bucks and the BK8 debacle … (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 10:32:01
        
        If you really believe that our playing budget is such a joke.... (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 11, 10:33:14
        
        Not really … (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 10:55:57
        
        And we are botto (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 10:56:14
        
        We aren’t really though jim… (NCFC) - loz, Jan 11, 10:25:04
        
        Billing would have made far more difference than Tszolis or Screech. (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 11, 10:39:32
  - PM Jim (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 11, 09:39:45
  - Who would come here in January? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 11, 09:38:36
    - There would be loads of champsionship midfielders or players from foreign leagues who (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 09:48:34
      - A Championship midfielder who could hack it in the Prem would still cost a fortune (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 11, 10:03:34
        
        Frankly anyone with a bit of physicality in there would improve us. (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 10:13:32
        
        The data scientists have identified (NCFC) - NorskyNormann, Jan 11, 10:33:37
        
        " anyone with a bit of physicality"? That's simply not true is it? (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 11, 10:15:49
        
        Tbf, we appear to have signed Sargent and PLM based solely on their (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 11, 10:19:30
        
        Could probably afford it if we shifted Todd (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 11, 10:07:21
        
        No matter how you slice it, we're not spending £12-15m on a Champs player this month. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 11, 10:09:52
        
        We wouldn't need to spend that. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 10:13:56
        
        Wouldn't cost that for a mid table Champ CM (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 11, 10:12:02
        
        Buying a mid-table champ midfielder is hardly a statement of intent to stay in the EPL (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Jan 11, 10:31:35
        
        Yep, but a mid table CM might not be very good. And who would want to sell now unless over (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 11, 10:14:26
        
        This is like "who is out there who wants to buy a premier league club" now (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 11, 10:20:09
        
        Watford are getting relegated too (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 11, 10:30:56
        
        Don't think they've thrown in the towel though. (n/m) (NCFC) - Men without hats, Jan 11, 14:09:00
        
        Get KOEY back (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 11, 10:12:52
        
        have you never played Championship Manager? (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 11, 10:05:26
        
        In 1993 (n/m) (NCFC) - NorskyNormann, Jan 11, 10:32:03
      - Don’t we already have championship level players though? (n/m) (NCFC) - NorskyNormann, Jan 11, 09:53:32
        
        Not in that role to be fair (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 11, 09:55:16
        
        Can Louis Thompson do a job there? Is he still ours? (n/m) (NCFC) - NorskyNormann, Jan 11, 10:00:31
        
        All our midfielders are 8s (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 11, 09:56:44
        
        Yep, that's my assessment too (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 11, 10:17:31
    - John Stones (n/m) (NCFC) - NorskyNormann, Jan 11, 09:47:48
    - Only options really would be either another international loan (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 11, 09:40:49
    - Wes? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 11, 09:40:06
  - We got soccerbot and young players for the future. Just have to be patient til they come (NCFC) - NorskyNormann, Jan 11, 09:36:22
  - Make them an offer Jim (n/m) (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Jan 11, 09:35:38
    - Is he a billionaire? (n/m) (NCFC) - NorskyNormann, Jan 11, 09:36:45
      - Nope, a stuck record (n/m) (NCFC) - CB41, Jan 11, 09:41:14
        
        I find him unacceptable. (n/m) (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Jan 11, 10:10:42
        
        Indeed. Surely there must be a limit to the number of times (NCFC) - CB41, Jan 11, 10:58:59
        
        Is there a limit on being right? (NCFC) - Old Git, Jan 11, 11:24:13
      - trillions (n/m) (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Jan 11, 09:38:32
