January transfer thread

Yes. Club confirmed it. (There is another thread about it.)

 

Yeah been confirmed

 

Not if a fee has been paid for the loan

 

We need to be more creative at set pieces, we continue to just lump the ball into the box

 

Stewart is irreplaceable, any one who says different is trying to convince themselves

 

Top post , my thougts exactly

 

I'm not an expert, but I am fairly sure somewhere in the world there is at least 1 striker that could replace him.

He's very good, no doubt, but irreplaceable is a bit to much imo

 

I'd take Keane off Wigan. Scores goals and seems to do the simple things well.

 

Think it'll probably be Archer on loan and wouldn't be surprised to see us try for Jebbison again, looks like his contract runs out in the summer too

 

Didn’t we have a young lad banging them on for fun in the u21 or youth teams?

 

Was it Max Thompson?

 

1 that we could afford?
1 that would come?
1 who'd score the same goals
1 who would hold up the play?

We might get 1 one those but not all 4. Therefore, yes, irreplaceable in our current circumstances, to our club, irreplaceable.

 

Aye but I'd bet he never plays higher than league 2 unfortunately

 

I like what I've seen of Keane but he'd cost a few mill, is 30 next month and this is his first season of double figures in the Championship. He's playing regular football, I don't think he'd want to be a back up.

 

Not much about him then?

 

Looks very busy at that level but I've not seen the sort of technical quality required for the step up imo

 

United hung onto him a while before they sold didn’t they? Must have seen summat.

I know we have a model in place but we want to try this season from this position, surely?

Won’t be Keane anyway.

 

Sorry mate, but no player is irreplaceable.

What happens if he decides he hates football and retires tomorrow? Do we just fold as a club as we can't possibly replace him?

 

We only have 1 striker and Wigan are in the ****. I don't know what contract he's on but he could certainly do a job for us for 18 months

 

I don't have a problem with us breaking the model for the right players. But for what he would cost, I'd imagine there are other players who fit the model and would offer more.
