Or -
We want C*nty to think Flint is out, when in reality he's perfectly okay & will be smashing their centre forwards on Saturday.

It's kind of got the patching up feeling of last seasons February onwards about it all of a sudden. Whereas I'd have imagined that JJOT and Boateng may have gone out in January, we sort of need them now for squad depth.

One thing I don't get is why we always have to seem to go to deadline day to get or not get someone. Clough seems to have convinced himself thats the way of the world but the 80/100 or so other transfers/loans that have already happened in League 2 seem to suggest that isn't a problem for other clubs.

I mentioned this two weeks ago and got slammed down saying there was plenty of time yet. Surely clubs dont literally start their dealings on the 1st January but are sounding out in the preceding weeks so they can get their business done when they are allowed to, not take it to the wire.

Before Saturday things weren’t as urgent as Flint wasn’t injured. Clearly we also thought Gregory would be incoming.
I think we as also need to bear in mind work will have been ongoing. We will have been talking to clubs, agents and players over the last couple of week I suspect.
