Prof on coys:

I know we are working on several possibilities but have no idea whether any of them will come to fruition before the window closes. I hope/expect at least one to cross the line, but that one may not be pleasing to some COYSers. There is also a player most of us would be happy with that we're trying to prise from his current club, but (my opinion) I don't see it happening during this window. Still working on the young player I referenced a week or so ago but that one also feels like it may not conclude until the summer. Apologies that I can't be more specific, which is frustrating for me and I'm sure is frustrating for COYSers, but I gave my word.
Positive I guess in that they’re doing something. But it makes me wonder who on earth it could be or what position if the one we’re likely to get would be unpopular seeing as I feel we’d take just about anyone.

Curious for a potentially more popular signing that nothing has hit the press on that one either way (that he might be coming or that he won’t be).

Guess for the more likely and unpopular signing we should hear something a bit more on in the next few days if it’s to happen before the 31st.

Have to hope and pray that the reality has set in for upstairs and they need to take serious action if they are sticking with Ange.

Thanks - to be fair to the club, it can't be easy attracting players right now

Predictable ITK highlighting the incompetence of this board. We had, what, 11 for first team players at the weekend and this is the urgency it’s being given? Christ…

Thanks for the ITK share mate.

The board can’t be blamed here, we all know that January is a ‘difficult’ and ‘tricky’ window and I’m sure they’ve tried their very best to pretend to do something and see which useless waste of time loan options are available, they bought the manager some Aussie beers so they’ve backed him with his favourite beverage as well as a 21yr old back up goalie, he can’t be ungrateful for that 😂.

Utterly ridiculous, this club and board have gone from frustrating and incompetent to just plain disgraceful and inept.

Sad sad times :(

I'm not often shocked by a piece of information and I always try to take ITK with a decent amount of salt but this has properly caused a physical reaction in me.

This is disgraceful and if we end up with Kinsky and maybe one more kid as our only January signings then heads all over the football department deserve to, nay should, roll.

This is not the time for patience and prudence. Go out and get what the team needs.

You look at this and history would say that the THFC board are expecting "the one to cross the line" is Timo Werner on a permanent. You can't make this shit up at how incompetent this team and Ange have been "supported" during this period. Go out and get the players that will help, irrespective of the cost at this point! DO IT!

The “we tried to get some deals over the line but January is a difficult time to do business. We have our targets lined up for the summer, and if they come off everyone will be very happy” ITK on February 1st is going to hit like crack

Couldn’t agree more, how the hell with the current situation as it is can we be 20 days into the window with no outfield additions, beggers belief.

“The club feel with players returning from injury, we can push on second half of the season”

Ali Gold just said it on his video, and i have never been one for this normally,but the mess we are in, you have to go all out even if that is going to cost you more.what makes the ITK frustrating is the language has changed to "hope" which is mad with the mess we are in

Didn’t want to reply but 🧂Don’t read to much into any press or whispers coming out atm I would say. It’s all noise due to the circumstances we are in currently . The board know what they need to do however actions speak louder then words and we have been here before in different circumstances though. Groundhog Day for the slime ball I don’t think he will be able to hide any longer as the wind hasn’t turned on the squad and the hole is getting bigger and bigger without room for escape or excuses right now . We as fans have a right to force the issue !

I'm trying to remember who we signed in that winter window for Redknapp that completely transformed the team. I think Palacios was one.

Did we overpay then in order to get it done?
