Absolutely not. He may well be the difference. Unless we are talking mega money (15 million +), which is not going to happen.

The key to this whole mess on the pitch is in the centre of midfield, that's where we need to spend the money.

Id say a striker is our main priority atm. We NEED goals asap!.... but yeah agree central midfield is also a must, with a bit/a lot of creativity.

Get payet in on loan, bilic has said he's a wrong'un and sent him to the reserves, our new Tarbs

[topperharley]

If Holloway can use money raised would you be happy selling Smithies? Our most valuable asset and we have an adequate replacement already. This would make most sense in a purely business sense - long term survival of club, stay in Champ etc.. - but....honestly....would you trust Hollo or any of our lot with that sort of money? Just asking.

Was it 3-4 loans or are they looking to buy?

Some more loans like Keane Doyle Madiga and some player who wont play or perhaps some useful ones?

[jmelanie]

Have the Club even suggested they are getting rid of Smithies?

[Alanwycombe]

do we though? If Smithies goes we might as well head down the betting shop, at least we'll have the consolation of a few quid come the end of term.

I chose 'adequate' carefully. We need to create and score not rely on Smithies keeping us in games. Ingram would probably be ok without being outstanding if we play up the other end more often.

[Rebel R's]

So we got 7 Mill in the bank!!

Maybe generate another 1 mill through Naser and Henry going!!

Was the 3 or 4 on top of Lua Lua Norths?

Once you realise Holloway won't be given £7 million to spend,we are kind of going around in circles with this

- Holloway knew money would be tight this transfer window when taking the job

I'm honestly not sure anyone else would have taken the job. Appointing Olly with a budget created by the sale of some third raters is a pretty decent recipe for the drop. We shall see.

Henry will go on a free and £250 for Nasser El Khasi

Thanks for sharing Norths

Main talking points

- Holloway knew money would be tight this transfer window when taking the job

- Can reinvest whatever money is made through sales

- Pretty much confirmed the Polter and Chery sales

- Looking to bring in 3 or 4 this window, including a couple of older pros.

This is good news. £7m is a fair bit of money IF INVESTED PROPERLY.
