Baxter's had two pretty bad injuries while here and is now injured again. I think he's rated, but also that Tim-LT has been much, much better than expected and that's thrown the thinking a little bit. As far back as October ago I'd have put my house on us signing him permanently as we have a clause, but now, I think it's more likely he'll be returned and then sold to another club.
Or, knowing our luck, he'll get into somehow get into Chelsea's team and be England's next #1.
They must have rated Timmy from the getgo though. After a few days on trial, they offered him a 4 year deal. Considering we're close to FFP, it seems like a no brainer to save the £500k/£1m on Baxter's transfer fee. Injuries have hampered his last 3.5 years now and it's becoming a major problem, he doesn't seem capable of playing more than 20 games
In a recent interview Acun seemed to suggest we have a bit of headroom with FFP due to our increased income, Sounds familiar.

I read that and thought the same.
If we're going for players like Ebiowei & the striker at Burton, it's not going to cause us any issues at all. We've got players we can move out very quickly and easily to free up room too
We could send the 3 Chelsea lads back and that should give us the room to do the business we wish to
I think the gates have helped a lot. I think we were probably cautious in the summer because we didn't know what we were looking at crowd-wise but now they can be a bit more relaxed in January as and where needed. As you say though, I think it'll be only minor additions, although if the right big fish is available Acun might go for it.
The sponsorship will have helped a lot too. Efes, Jeton & Tomya have all come since the summer too
If City signed him permanently in January, could they add him to the squad without counting against the 25? Or do you think they hope he'll be available before player registration has to be confirmed?
Yeah not too sure but thought any u21 didn't have to be included in the 25 man squad.
Zajc would be a great signing, source linked to Yagiz as well so seems trustworthy... Him Seri, Tufan, Traore and Pelkas is some serious talent in midfield for the championship. We start filling other positions of players of that standard and imo we will fly.
I’m putting Tim and salah as two of the greatest players to never have played for us
Above Messi and Ronaldo even
it’s insane

There's a couple of sponsorship deals in the pipeline which would really really help, I think that's what he was alluding to ( if they come off and we move on the players not needed, then FFP outlook is very different )
It's along the lines of the others we have seen, overseas based companies
If it comes off, the striker is quite a big name. But that one will depend on FFP. The winger we know who that is, only heard two names with regards a centre half. But there’s a hell of a lot of interest so getting either of them might prove tricky.
Yes. All loans need to be registered regardless of age but u21 owned by the club don’t.
Not sure why this thread even exists, we did such good business in the summer window, bought players who will be with us when we get promoted, future stars, and all within the ffp rules. It's unbelievable Jeff.
