It’s not surprised me, what surprises me is that people think someone who isn’t exactly in demand, and is dithering over his supposed ‘last chance’ is somehow going to have the desire to pull his tripe out and save us | ![](/images/avatars/14968.gif) |

Think that was obvious from the minute the Sun leaked the story, there's no chance that the story would have come out from our side and I wouldn't be surprised if it has annoyed Hilly. | ![](/images/avatars/1115.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Almost certainly , but if he is the only striker we are looking at, leaves us in the crap if he doesn’t come, let’s hope we are actively perusing other options | ![](/images/avatars/14968.gif) |

If he left his previous club before the end of August, then he can sign for another club whenever he wants. However, the majority of clubs will want to get their ducks in a row before the end of this window. | ![](/images/avatars/1214.gif) |

Think I read Southend terminated his contract on 4th of January last year. https://www.transfermarkt.com/nile-ranger/profil/spieler/88750 Gonna be honest here and say I don't think we will get any permanent signings in, think we will just loan a young unknown left back until the end of season at best. If this board keeps to its word about backing Hill at the AGM, then give him the 3 permanent signings he wants. If he does not get them, then any future anger at performances should be directed at the board, not Hill as they will of hung him out to dry. | ![](/images/avatars/24912.gif) |

But two days ago you said you thought we would also bring in a keeper as "I think Hill has lost faith with Norman". Also, Hill never said he wanted three permanent signings; he said something about needing three new players. Backing a manager also includes with wages, not just transfer fees.

he says three here !! Hill has talked repeatedly about signing a left back and a fast striker, I guess the third one to be a keeper because of the inconsistency we have had this year. stop trying to correct me when YOU are wrong !! [Post edited 30 Jan 2019 15:20]

But he did say three new characters in. We already have 4 loan players, we can only play five at a time. Not rocket science that the club now has to sign permanent players. [Post edited 30 Jan 2019 15:24]

No, but it doesn't mean we will sign permanent players, nor that all the loan players will expect to feature in the matchday squad. Plus, it will be difficult to recruit permanent signings within our budgetary restrictions and the uncertainty about which division we will be in next season. That's not rocket science either. | ![](/images/avatars/1107.gif) |

"If this board keeps to its word about backing Hill at the AGM, then give him the 3 permanent signings he wants. If he does not get them, then any future anger at performances should be directed at the board, not Hill as they will of hung him out to dry." What completely flawed logic. A signing is a two way agreement and contract. Just because a signing doesn't happen is not necessarily the fault of either the board or the manager. It is as if you are quietly but deliberately trying to create a rift and an argument when non exists. [Post edited 30 Jan 2019 15:34]

Not trying to create any arguments, just voicing an opinion ! Everyone is in favour of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage. - Winston Churchill | ![](/images/avatars/24912.gif) |
