Pettit is a development/U21 player, I expect Shala to go out again on loan possibly to an NLP club after his really positive spell at Potters Bar, George is still injured AFAIK leaving us with just 2 senior keepers one of whom doesn't seem to fit (Bishop) so getting another senior keeper makes lots of sense.
As for slots left in the squad, thankfully keepers don't count towards squad limits, but by my count we definitely have 1 left but I may have miscounted & it could be 2 or more.
Well, it may be reading too much into the situation, but Rice issued a short comment on each of the players recently sent on loan (Butcher/Hartridge/Hanlan), and Butcher was the only one where he said, “we look forward to seeing him back in the summer”.
The others got a more vague “we will be watching to see how they get on” kind of comment.
He’s definitely a solid L1 player and I think B Rovers have done very well there.
Welcome to this year's slowest day! I think most of us will be clock watch / refreshing the forum or their twitter feed waiting for any announcements.
If you have virtual meetings today, ensure your camera's off & your mic muted so they don't see whatever tv feed you have in the background! If you have to share screen, hide any tabs you have open!
Konetheming off on a permanent to Facebook. Farmer Cee loaned in on a ‘Morleywatch’ deal to the end of the season. Maybe a chance of getting the disaffected Reading Biscuit in on a permanent…
as things stand, they can't bring anybody in. They got special dispensation to sign Chem Campbell, but I think that's the only exception that's been made to date.

Four plus one, no? Rav, George, Shala, new guy, Bishop
Also Jonny Pettitt who we signed the other week.
How many spaces are currently left in the squad for potential outfield signings?
If we sign Norris, I'd expect Bishop to be shipped back to Sunderland.
Must've missed that!
It was a small announcement!

Sounds like Butcher had a decent game today. 7 out of 10 which is almost guaranteed every week from him.
That's why I liked him. You know what you're getting every single week.
I actually think he's more suited to our system than Bakinson in terms of replacing Morley.

Another transfer window slams shut and this one has been one of our wildest ones ever. The question is, will there be any more movement before 11pm?
Apart from Norris, I’ve not seen us linked to anybody else really but I can’t imagine that Rice wouldn’t want another one or two through the door.
I’m expecting us to sign anywhere between three and six players today.
We need someone as back up to Kone

Realistically, I think we can expect a few outgoings today too.
Wheeler on a free and Shala back out on loan.
Wheeler will only go to a.localish team , GA wanted him but turned down due to distance as family really settled around the area
The reality is we will not get that. We can recruit Bez, Dan and Fred. You win the lottery and you get Rich.
That will make it an interesting day. Kone and Low not going will be a good day.
Will Norris incoming according to Pete O.
Norris aside, I feel we’re a little light on Goal Keepers. Personally, I won’t be happy until we can field a full XI of GK’s…
Wow, very bold prediction!
Three sounds about right.
Are we all braced for significant noise on Kone? Any updates to his injury? I’m assuming he WAS injured?

If we were to release Wheeler, would Reading be allowed to sign him or would that go against their restrictions?
Pleased we’re bringing in Norris. Always liked him when he’s played against us. Good keeper.
Kone to a Premier League club for 10 million but loaned back to us for the season.
He gets a dream move and we get to enjoy him for a bit longer.

This is what I was thinking
Wheeler deserves to play, and every club deserves a David Wheeler. Set him free. A great servant for us.
