Transfer Rumours January '22 Transfer Thread

Id have Curtis back to help bring on our young lads at the back.

 

We sold Cairney to Blackburn anyway didn't we? So any sell on would have been recouped when he went to Fulham.

 

Fair point, wouldn’t argue with that much.

 

It's on the Hull live live feed I think

 

That's just a random bloke on Twitter tagging them in. That's not WBA.

 

Ah
…I avoid that unpleasant place

 

Yeah we did, and Fulham didn't pay through the nose for him either.

 

Lazy player, no pace..... We've already got Huddlestone....

 

People always say it was a mistake to sell Cairney, and Corry Evans too. But at the time we'd just signed Huddlestone and Livermore and had Meyler, Koren and Quinn too who were all better at the time, and we went on to have our best ever season with that team. Cairney improved after moving to Blackburn, apparently learned to apply himself a lot better which was a bit of an issue when he was with us, as I understand.

 

In that case Rangers must think chrimbo has come 11 months early.

 

Nor did Diamé, Livermore, Brady, Clucas etc.

Only one who we could realistically sign that I’d have back in addition to Huddlestone is Davies on a short-term deal on modest wages. I think both Huddlestone and Davies have a future as coaches and would love them as part of Shota’s staff.

 

Sure we bagged around 750k sell on from the deal when he joined Fulham from Blackburn.

Can't be arsed to check.

 

Yes I think we should have loaned him out again rather than selling him. Bruce just didn't rate him because he barely saw him play.

 

Yeah, but last 20 mins you need a goal....

Set pieces alone could be worth 5 or 6 points a season.

Maybe that's why we're signing Walsh though...

 

Went for about £3m if memory serves.

 

People always talk as if cairney was the same player he is now when he left us, but he's improved dramatically since then.

But that also doesn't mean he'd have still improved at the same rate if he'd have stayed.

Sometimes players just need a move to kick on - otherwise we could all still be moaning that all he does is pass sideways.

 

Happy with the signings but bit disappointed there wasn’t a surprise signing

 

We wasn't talking about the others but yes same applies to them.
I've already said I'd like Curtis back.
