Transfer Rumours January '22 Transfer Thread

It'll be Allahyar on the back of his shirt. Should make it easier.

 

Why is it unlikely? We're just working on Ashby aren't we? The other 3 are done.

 

Longman doesn't count, he's already here.

 

Must be offering top dollar.

 

He absolutely does count, he'd be a permanent signing.

 

I think they were hoping for 2 more not one.

I've suggested before that Slater was one that just made sense to the new owners despite him being an Allam target. I think Longman was opportunistic also.

I'm sure if our business was done then Baz would be reporting it.

 

Allahyar, Forss, Longman and Ashby would be the four, no?

 

Why not, Longman could have been recalled and Slater was back at SU.

 

Suspect Longman was opportunistic, but not an addition as he was here til June anyway.

They'll still be working, but if targets have fallen through then it does no-one good to bring someome in for the sake of it.

 

Opportunistic or not it's a permanent deal.

 

Fits into the "he signed..." bit of Acun had a dream as well. Not sure what we were singing for that line the other day. Didn't even sound like words

 

I think Longman was done to fend off interest from other Championship clubs. There was quite a bit of interest in him.

 

And a great one too.

 

Aye I think it was forced upon us due to interest from elsewhere.

It certainly was put across as 4 new signings and that was after Slater.

 

The direct quote from Acun was "Up to four signings". People can split hairs over whether someone signing permanently is a signing, but he never said there would be 4 new signings.

 

Glad you corrected it MO....

 

His parent club are paying all his wages

 

Agree to disagree. He was staying till the summer anyway.

 

I suspect someone else bid for him and we've decided to match it to keep him here.

We've been linked with right backs and wide right midfielders fairly consistently.

I'm sure they're still after 1 of each - but whether we land them or not will depend on who wants to sign and for what money.

No point bringing in for the sake of numbers. They're gonna have to add to the squad otherwise we're better off waiting til summer.

 

And now he's staying longer.
