25/26 January Transfer Window (7 Viewers)

I’d sign him just to have Josh Eccles’ doppelgänger in the side, they could take bookings on each others behalf when one of them is nearing suspension

when Eccles and Neil see each other in training

The club aren't fortune tellers though - why wouldn't we have taken a punt on Drinkell if he was scoring for fun everywhere? So we shouldn't sign the best players in our division then?

The point I'm making is you can't guarantee success. Mid season isn't the time to integrate 4 or 5 players. The more you bring in the more likely several won't hit the ground running.

By the time some players settle in the season will be over. Most players don't like moving in January.

Andrews and Bell (the young keeper) could be redesignated as U21s in January.

Kai Andrews doesn't count as part of the 25 senior players because he is under 21.

It’d be like a Gibbs and Ox situation

I think we can do a lot better in the wide forward positions. I’d be looking at at least one winger you’d expect to start. Love Saka but his output could be better. Same as I think you could get someone more direct than EMC.



I agree it’s hard in Jan but that’s what Austin is paid the big bucks for.

Andrew’s needs to be playing regular football. He’s not good enough to seriously offer an option at the top of this division and if we want to keep a tight squad then moving players out when it suits us and then makes sense. If we pretend Brau is a LW and Andrew’s a winger/AM then replacing those two keeps the squad the same size but would offer us far more options to change a game or rest Saka EMC and Rudi.

I'm pretty certain we have one slot left. I acknowledge the fact we need someone who can cover both wings and ideally 10 too.

Andrews isn't part of the 25 squad due to age. So moving him for an older player doesn't free up a space. I think there is a case for trying to get Brau out on loan.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

The squad is currently 22, space for 3 more, add a CM and 2 wingers job done

At the moment, he and Bell are both listed as senior players. Come January they can both be listed as U21s as they were born after 01/01/2004.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Are you mixing him up with o'nien

Yeah, you're right

Its not about “the 25” it’s about Kings states wish for a small group for cohesion reasons.

Somebody mentioned dwight mcneil to me today on loan ?

This sounds like Chinese whispers Dan Neil but if we got both of those and Manneh that's a cracking window.

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We’re after Phil Neal I’ve heard.

 

[Deity]

A lot of - I’ve watched a large amount of Bristol City games this season and a few last year. Why?

He was poor today.

 

[procdoc]

He was poor today.

He was good first half, lost his head second half

Haha never ever going to happen, way too good for this league

 

[Deity]

He really isn’t ….

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

He really isn’t ….

He’s a bottom half premier league winger easily, would be some coup

 

[Deity]

He’s a bottom half premier league winger easily, would be some coup

He’s very one paced ….

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

He’s very one paced ….

If we get dan neil on a perm, then go for a McNeil on a 6 month loan deal then that would be fantastic business, he’s also played under Frank before

 

[procdoc]

He really isn’t ….

He was touted as a potential England international a couple of seasons ago. He’s not had the best time recently but a club like us could be a good move for him

 

[wingy]

Who are we talking about.sorry mate we?

 

[Trueskyblue20]

He was poor today.

Agree with Procdoc, some good passes between the lines first half but he looked poor 2nd. Big black mark sticking it all over our Japanese Starboy though

 

[Deity]

That was 7 years ago now ….

He was signed by Frank so you never know but Moyes hasn’t given him many minutes …

If & it’s a big huge fooooking iwight McNeil is doable who says no?

Lads still 26 played over 200 games in PL and is a decent player, definitely adds much needed quality to our squad.

Weird he’s not featured for Everton, on stats stuck on 99 apps, wonder if big payment is due on 100

Back to the point if he would drop down & is available I’d take him without a second thought, those that say no are delusional!

He’s only 26?!?!?! Fucking hell that’s mad it feels like he’s been around for decades

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Wonder if we could tempt Brighton with a cheeky bid for rushworth, I’d drop 10 million on the table

 

[HuckerbysQuiff]

Exactly…. Mad isn’t it?! I had to double & triple check. Genuinely feels like he should be mid 30’s

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

He’s very one paced ….

4 goals and 8 assists in 20 games in the prem last year, are you feeling alright? That’s good stats for a somewhat rotation player

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Would be an unreal bit of business, try get a 6 month loan. A LOT of fringe prem players will be going out on 6 month loans in Jan, especially with the World Cup coming up, players will be wanting game time

 

[Ccfcisparks]

he’d be quality. i’d wank Bling off if that happened

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Deity doesn’t think he’s premier league quality though so hopefully it’s bollocks

I’m pretty sure Doug will have agreed a fee

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

I’m pretty sure Doug will have agreed a fee

I’d genuinely pay 10-15 million for him, sort of player with massive sell on potential in the future too
