Yeah, yeah.

That's a lot of players that, I mean, I wonder how long the long list was before that.

You know, did they have 10 players for every position who they wrote down?

I suppose there are some that, you know, you start with a long list and you can soon strike some off, can't you?

You know, some of them have been non-starters for different reasons.

But it's interesting that even now, you know, what, are we two weeks away from January the 1st, pretty much, as we speak, a bit more than that.

and that there are still that many potential targets.

And again they're saying what you'd expect them to say, don't expect us to sign six players on the 1st of January, it's going to be a

a slow burner of a month, we have to wait, bide our time, see who's available, cross off the ones that become unavailable, add a couple of new ones who come onto the radar.

I think they know they need a strong January window.

If you take last Saturday's win against Blackburn out of it, before that we were panicking a bit, weren't we?

We were thinking, how on earth is this squad going to stay up?

We need...

Half a dozen good players to come straight into the team.

Every time you win a game, you kind of change your view a little bit.

But you shouldn't change it after just one win.

We certainly do need strengthening.

And I think, you know, to answer your original question, I think we will see a couple more loans.

I think we'll see probably a couple of current loanees go back.

Bianchini would be the obvious one who we're probably not going to see anymore.
