January transfer thread

Lies, Forest don't sign players.

 

I know that have pots of cash, but even those allegedly murderous Saudis must be having serious buyers remorse over spending £25m on Chris ****ing Wood

 

ABERDEEN are amongst a number of clubs who are interested in a loan move for Sunderland’s Bailey Wright.

Aberdeen have other English and European defensive options on the go, knowing that they face competition for the centre half. Pittodrie head of recruitment Darren Mowbray is hoping that the fact his brother, Tony, is Sunderland manager can help him get a deal over the line.

The Sunderland boss is set to let Wright, who can also fill-in at right back, go but nothing will happen before this weekend. Wright, 30, came through the youth ranks of Preston and has also had a spell at Bristol City. https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co...r.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar

 

Well I’m assuming we will see another CB coming in if Wright is away.

 

If were prepared to let BW go out on loan , there must be an incoming CB I would suspect...Heck of a time to let him go.

 

Maybe Cresswell or Porteus from Hibs coming in? Although he played CDM last few games.

 

I’d be ok with this, Wright is fine as a backup but gets done for pace whenever he is in the team

 

More than halfway through this window and what have we done. Loaned out a promising midfielder. I hope we know what we are doing.

 

In the words of Atticus Finch - its not time to worry yet

 

Some people will always start panicking if we haven't signed 7 players the day the transfer window opens, I thought the last couple of transfer windows would have shown people there's no rush and the recruitment team are actually doing a decent job but seems negativity seems to be some people's favourite pastime

 

Maybe, but they weakened a rival last season, and subsequently sent them down, so I guess it worked out for them in the end.

 

Anyone for the "Good early business" days of Roberto De Fanti?

 

Think our recruitment team have shown over the last few windows they clearly do know what they are doing

 

Correct

 

I second that

 

Thirded ??

 

Apart from Chelsea, no one has done much at all. It usually livens up towards the end.

 

Appartently Porteous has signed a pre contract at Udinese. Guy at my work said someone in the know on the hibs forum said earlier that he was going to Udinese

 

Shame about that

 

Aye there's been a few Scottish lads gone to Italy and done well so it's no surprise he fancies a crack over there. Fair play, it's good to see players looking to learn and explore
