I find it astounding people want a L**ds reject who can't hit the side of a barn door and is made of glass. Just asking for trouble.
I remember a few weeks ago saying decent goalscoring strikers aren’t sat on free transfers or get loaned out. Someone pointed out they are and mentioned Andre Grey…..now he’s on a free again
Not sure we ought to sign Bamford. I mean even I know who he is. I’m miles more excited by the ever growing list of targets that I’ve never heard of…
Barry's reputation is on a whole different level than it was 6 months ago and half the league wants him. We've no chance signing Smallbone either, he'd have his pick of the Championship too.
is Bedia going purely down to space... why have to give his club 500k for returning him and to pay his wages elsewhere... is that correct,...?
Is it though? He tore up League 2, now he's done well in League 1. Yes that means his reputation has enhanced further, but think it's a bit much to be saying he could walk into just about any side in the league.
I said half the league wants him, they do. I think there's a lot of delusion on here about the players we'll be able to attract this window. Lewis Gibson choosing Preston should tell you everything.
I just don't think his reputation has spiked as much as you seem to think it has. I don't think anyone expects Barry to arrive, just suggesting he's the profile we should be after.
I used to regularly go to watch Huddersfield on a corporate when Jordan Rhodes was there. The people who invited me thought he was brilliant and there was a reall buzz about him and an expectation that he’d soon be going on to really big things. But every time I saw him he was ****e. Never saw him score, never really saw him set anyone else up to score. Seemingly a level of talent massively below his ego. If he comes then I’ll support him, but for me Bamford is cut from the same cloth.
Not sure if it’s still there, but there was an article on the BBC website, looking at where each club would be looking in the transfer window. There were 3 or 4 not in the market for a striker. Of the few available, we aint gonna be top of their preferences. I’m not sure what the answer is, just pointing out it’s going to be very difficult. Only hopes are that Selles has some contacts at Reading or Southampton or that Villa/Liverpool/Man City are still clamouring to loan us their untried players.
