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 !!!

Rather hilarious that we're offloading our reserve left back when our regular one has picked up an injury. Says everything about how he's rated by the manager (as seen on Saturday when JCS came on instead).
He is being offloaded because he has consistently failed to impress wherever and whenever he has played except maybe at Kilmarnock. All those managers, head coaches and fans at the clubs have spotted what Our DoF failed to and that is that Hamalainen is not good enough.
How some players got professional deals whilst others failed is often down to who you know or just good fortune. Good luck to him wherever he ends up.
As for not signing anyone else I am disappointed, but maybe we might get lucky and see some youngster given a chance to surprise us all.

With players leaving, persistent injuries and little chance of any signings, it's looking likely we'll be seeing some of the youngsters making the bench and getting a bit of game time.
aaron drewe looked half decent when he played pedere seems to be doing ok
ill give anyone a go if they show some effort unlike the majorty did on sat

Hamalainen is one that showed substantial promise that even led to a few international appearances and a squad place at the Euros. Unfortunately, something has gone wrong with him, possibly mentally, and he seems to have got worse rather than improving.

His problem has been consistent all the way through - he's not nasty enough. Waaaaaay too weak, passive, insipid.

He looked quite good at first when he came in during the lockdown season but as Clive said was very passive and quickly started to struggle.
A player likely to feature in the Euros a few months later and who was first choice left back at the time a new contract made a lot of sense. We also gave Kakay and Dieng longer deals the same week, the Dieng one gets no credit at all for someone who had never played for us before when people like to throw stick at the club for Niko.

I totally agree. There is a huge opportunity for the youngsters at the moment, pretty much all the places in the starting eleven (maybe not Dieng's) are up for grabs.
If I were Critchley I would be having a quiet word with each youngster individually, saying that the way the team has been playing, there is a fabulous opportunity to grab, and keep, a starting place. Hopefully, he or one of the other coaches has already done that.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Partially agree - but everyone on here was absolutely shocked when it was a 4 year deal. It was a panicky deal done in the wake of the BOS/Manning situations as I remember it. I'm sure it was cheap, but the length of deal was a bit insane.
Bare bones.

Hamalainen signed for us in September 2014, has played 33 senior games, and apparently achieved 1 assist. I can't quite believe he's been in our employ all this time.

length of the deal was too long, I thought the same about Dieng and Kakay as well but as you say was in response to Manning/BOS issue which made offer longer.

He likes the idea of being a footballer .....however he's not a winner.
You need a team of winners, competetive men that dont like losing at anything, football, tindlywink whatever.
In some respects your level of ability is not paramount, (see Derry, Hill etc) its your desire, hunger, passion and appetite for a battle every game you play.
You can see it in Field, Chair & Dunne, maybe a couple of others to a lesser degree but i would say its lacking certainly in Nico and quite a few others.
ITs a job for Critchley that achieved what he did with Blackpool as he probably surrounded himself with these types. Maybe we have too many 'flair' players and not enough winners? -
ps realise now this is not transfer talk on such a poignant day, but it doesnt look like we are in for anyone anyway.

I wouldn't of suggested CB is our priority at present, clean sheets, yes please, but other areas of the pitch need addressing. CF & LB dont you think?

Hamalainen on paper made sense. He plays in a position that isn't always full of options and was marked by Finland FA's as basically being an emerging talent in 2015. On top of that he was relatively cheap. He has international caps (including a win against the Republic of Ireland) and seemed to have some success on loan in Scotland as a youngster. Trouble after that seems to be in reality the player hasn't actually developed much beyond that emerging youth talent from 7 years ago. Various managers have tried him, but overall he remains largely anonymous in most games he plays and I think Clive hits the nail on the head with areas that he is lacking, whatever his technical skills might be.
Never knowingly understood
