What we have got.
What we need.
And what we can afford.
My personal view.
No one to sell currently.
Our saleable assets are at their lowest valuations currently given recent form.
Others will know contract situations and wages. Etc.
I understand there is zero money to spend.
Am personally expecting three or four loanees, at least one striker, one full back, and one centre midfielder in Johansen style. No signings though.
Bonne, Thomas, Nico and possibly Roberts - I would try to loan back, loan elsewhere or sell.
Shodipo I think if someone on a par or better is available likely attempt be loaned out.
It's though a notoriously quiet window so could perhaps only be two or three deals done and if we can't get certain players off our books , be it temporarily or permanently, I feel sadly the replacements will not be incoming !!
The comments well we need two strikers that can put ball in back of the net !! Pure genius insight !!
Money talks. Hopefully Critchley has his own contacts and we shall see...
Crikey - apologies for crappy post - happy new year Rangers joys and girls !!!

I notice that our old friend from Feltham Steven Caulker has just signed for Wigan. It seems a very long time ago that he was with us earning more in a week than most earn in a year.
What a signing he turned out to be.... |  | | |

IMO the people in the first three or four rows of the Upper Loft have had it too easy for too long. |
I sit 5 rows back in the Upper Loft right where they do the shooting warmup before the game. You couldn't take your eyes off them practising shooting if Hugill was playing for fear of getting the ball smacked in your face by him. |  | | |

Loaded all the time, then he ran off home for his tea,
Left the Rangers like a guilty schoolboy... |  |

1 - I am not keen on Hugill.
2 - What is LD strengths??? please [Post edited 10 Jan 2023 9:15]

IMHO Lyndon Dykes strength is his aerial ability. He wins his fair share of heading duels, he is good at laying the ball off to others (unfortunately he is often isolated and therefore these flicks and lay offs end up going astray). In other words he is a good target man, his movement in the box could/should be better and also his finishing.
He is far from an all round striker, but to play to his strengths would mean getting early crosses into the box (witness his goals particularly v Reading last season) and getting a second striker around him for the 'knock-downs' (easier said than done I know).
To be honest I don't think Hugill would be an upgrade - more a sideways move.
All this criticism of Dykes reminds me of how Mick Leach used to cop a load of stick back in the day. There was a forward, much appreciated by his team mates even though his strike record was something like 60 goals in 300 games! | | | |

Like to get him, be an improvement on what we have got. Need to think about getting money from at least one from Chair, Willock and Dykes in this window. Time for the Critchley re-build to start, lost faith in the whole lot of our players, other than Field and Dieng at the moment.
No point being attached to any of this team as they are seriously letting us down. It is abysmal no home wins since Wigan and only 4 goals scored since that game, totally unacceptable in my view. |  | | |

Only Adomah and Shodipo are actual wingers in the squad and neither gets much game time.
I'm pretty sure Jamal Lowe has played more games in the Championship as a striker than as a winger. It may be Critchley wants better service out wide to Dykes and if he was played as a winger Lowe may be able to provide that. However, if we're looking for a goal getter, Lowe's goal to games ratio is lower than Dykes.
All that said, with our limited resources Lowe is probably the best we can hope for. |  | | |

Typical QPR.
Aim high. Get Lowe. |  | | |

Being linked with midfielder Leighton Clarkson from Liverpool - the Critchley factor?
Probably bollox but I read it on Twitter, and feel compelled to share. |  | | |

This is probably one of those that the manager knows, and gives Belk a heads up. Just so happens he's already on the list and got identified in 2019, which is handy. He then checks all the stats and gives the thumbs up , thats good enough for Ferdinand. Ferdinand then pops into Hoos's office to ask for some money, Hoos gives Bhatia a call to release some money, Bhatia then asks his father in law for the money, who then calls a Zoom meeting with the rest of the board who all decide they can't afford it so they have to find someone cheaper. Hoos then pops back into Ferdinands office to give him the news, who then goes and tells Critchley we can't afford him so use one of our academy players instead.
Something like that. ? [Post edited 10 Jan 2023 23:41]

I don't know Leighton Clarkson from Jeremy but, if our interest is true, it suggests dissatisfaction with our CM; Amos or Dozzell perhaps? | | | |

Can’t help but think that another academy loan signing is unlikely to solve our lack of on pitch leaders issue.
Johansen’s return should help though, if he can stay fit (big if!). Our performances with him in the team vs without add more weight to the lack of leaders theory. |  | | |

5 in 19 for Aberdeen this season.
A goalscoring midfielder? No thanks. | |

Might mean they are going to end Tims loan and use the loans for another forward |  | | |

Surely if they bring in Clarkson though, its just swapping Loan Tim for Loan Clarkson?
Or am I being thick? | | | |

It could also be an indication that Chair or Willock are off?
Pure non-informed speculation of course. | | | |

We've already got 4 loanees. We can add 1 more, which if rumours are to be believed, is more likely to be Lowe.
Unless we/loaning club terminate an existing loan.
Reading already have 5 loanees and a transfer embargo, so any interest in Clarkson is moot.
WBA have attacking midfielders he would need to get ahead of.
Suspect Clarkson is a bit of clickbait. |  |

As I understand it, a club can have any amount of loans but can only have 5 in a matchday squad. Or have I got that wrong? The 25 player max squad includes loans of any age.
Clarkson seems to have been more of a DCM than ACM before his current loan at Aberdeen but he's obviously been successfully used further forward there. | | | |

Another Twitter rumour...
So, striker Liam Delap may be being recalled by Man City from his loan at Stoke... to be loaned out to another Championship outfit. | | | |

I’d really rather we stopped loans entirely and focused on signing the right players. I know they may be of less quality, but they will likely be more committed as we are their career and livelihood, not just a station on their journey. Permanent signings have their success bound up with the club, their employer; loanees do not. |  | | |

For now though with FFP, we don't have any money to sign players until we sell.
So loans looks likely for the foreseeable. | | | |

Loans aren't cheap either though
We just need to get through with what we have until the end of the season imo | | | |
