Winter transfer window

[Hannah1989]

we have come a long way in a short time,

would you like to see the return of George Dobson?

the thing is,

take SU- beaten 3 -0 at home to hull,

all our defeats this season have been by 1 goal.

take a few seasons ago, where we lost 5-1 at home to Stoke or 4-0 to smoggies,

most of the players we have, we could be their parents or grandparents.

things take time, give it a couple of months and these players would have matured into something more. can other teams say they do that as well as us?

 

[Hudson92]

That's why I wondered if we would go for someone like Ryan Sessegnon plus CF - 1 permanent and 1 loan

Sessegnon isn't getting a look in at Fulham this season, and he can cover both wide positions but also LB

He was a highly rated youngster who has lost his way in the game

Worth it just to sing god took messi and Pele again, he is the exact type we’ve signed recently too, would be a really good addition injury concerns aside but that’s sometimes the risk you have to take in the championship

 

[Smug in Boots]

Were sat 3 points behind automatics with the current squad, that’s been a massive task considering the teams that came down, we’ve slowly built an exciting young team and yes it’s frustrating at times but we’re still in this race with a lot of games and points to play for.

I can’t understand how anybody can say we lack ambition, our current squad cost less than £5m yet is probably worth over £100m, when was the last time we could have ever said that.

I like the way we go about our business and keep things under wraps, and long may it continue. I believe we’ve got a couple of decent signings lined up with deals that will probably take time as we’re now doing due diligence.

one or two more signings and I think we will kick on, however I think this current squad can go all the way.

It's quite recently that we had a squad of players who were all worth less than we’d paid for them, now it’s the reverse.

If people can’t see that as progress that’s their problem.

Clubs like Charlton. Reading, Wigan, Bolton and Birmingham ‘showed ambition’ …

… they’ve lost players, fans and managers, some even lost their grounds

 

[JimHeron92]

What do we THINK we’ll get in? I’m going versatile forward on loan from abroad and a left field full back, would love a winger too but think the forward will be used to cover that, can’t see more than 2 coming in unless a one for the future pops up like an aleksic type

I had been expecting us to bring in a fullback, but then there's not even remotely been any rumblings of the such so I'm not totally sure.

100 striker links but probably because that's more exciting.

 

[CR17]

I honestly think we will only see one come in and it’ll be a striker or a versatile forward type

Bang on mate.

 

[ned_werby]

It's a tricky one as we only have the one loan space left. Where's the biggest need? A forward that can cover the wings? A winger? Full back cover?

I can't see us bringing all 3 in, I think I'd like that versatile forward and full back cover, bit god knows who or from where

You can have as many loans as you want, the limitation is 5 in any matchday squad.

Yes i know, but ideally we dont want to be in a position where we have to leave one loan player out imo

 

[Brainy Dose]

Agree,I think that's where they see the need for improvement. We do have players coming through,but they're not ready for this season.

 

[Robertson]

If we could only sign one more player it would be a powerful striker who is very good in the air. It's something we don't have at all at the moment, unlike a versatile forward or full back.

 

[Disco down under]

Basically, it's not like we broke the Internet selling Clarke, we got a fee that was on the low end of many people's expectations, with incentives based on now seemingly impossible things.

I really hope we get the going rate for a highly rated championship teenager if we don't go up.

Funny thing is, given the way he has done this year it looks like they overpaid.

Unless he breaks through the ceiling he keeps hitting he will never quite be a premier league player.

 

[E.T. Fairfax]

I’ve come to the conclusion that Bob and Monty are the same person.

Bit harsh. Monty's not THAT bad.

 

[TopCat.]

You can have as many loans as you want, the limitation is 5 in any matchday squad.

Be tempted to send Samed back IF there are a couple of loans out there that would improve us - with Browne, Le Fee and Aleksic we have plenty of options in Cm to compliment Jobe, Neil and Rigg.

 

[Chadm93]

Not sure when but remember someone linking us with Luis Palma from Celtic, looks like he will be moving on now they have signed Jota

Cant ever recall him standing out tbh

However the lad Kuhn is scarily similar to Roberts in play style and looks as well albeit maybes more end product but in a weaker league

Yeah Kuhn is mental tbf, can see why they want £25-30million for him (although I don't know if someone will pay).
Shows how much quality there can be even signing a decent winger from the Austrian league for a couple million.

Hes fallen into the trap of another poor move, Ipswich don't even suit him tactically.

Celtic supporting friend said Kuhn was awful first year and then has just flipped a switch

 

[Blond Bombshell]

11pm Monday is the time to express concerns about the window for me (I’m very happy with the window so far) plenty time yet the January window is notoriously difficult to get good value, don’t be shocked if nothing happens until deadline day, do expect leaks before then though

Hope so. My plans are after last summer transfer deadline meltdown on here, I'll be tuning into Frankie and Danny at 7.30 with a few cans, and will be staying well clear of here.

 

[JimHeron92]

Yeah you can even see how that happens with us too, players sign in January and then take 5/6months to properly settle and find their feet. Mundle a good recent example

RLB has said himself he wants a versatile forward, which lines up to the type we have heard of 'Akpom, Semih etc'
