25/26 January Transfer Window (91 Viewers)

Didnt saddle say the midfielder would be for some cash though?

If it's a loan then I think we have a chance, given that he will presumably stay on his current wages with Brentford, which are reportedly £40,000 pw, with us making a contribution.

If it's a permanent transfer then Birmingham will outbid us on the transfer fee and wages.

If its a permanent transfer and he chooses Birmingham he's choosing almost certain Championship football next season.

The system needs tweaking now. Grimes is getting pressure from opposing players more and more. It would appear we've been rumbled

Think missing the likes of Dasilva, Torp and even Thomas has contributed to that. The replacements for all 3 are less dynamic and technical and don’t give him the same passing options.

Maybe its obligation to buy upon promotion

 

[Balli001]

Thomas won’t be released in this window. No chance.

One scenario is he wont sign a new contract, 1 year left in the summer so we sell him now and replace him. Probably not but its something to consider with a lot of our squad only having 1 year left

Birmingham showing more ambition than us while we’re in 1st is hilarious.

Really is.

I doubt if he will care if he's on big wages.

Birmingham could come up through the playoffs this season and are in with a very good shout next year.

It’s not ambition. It’s money. They have more money than us.

People said that this season. The favourites outside of the parachute teams.

Is it ambition or just a Wagner ego trip chucking money about because he can ?

Bobby Thomas court case analysis when??

Well if it keeps going as badly as this season FFP will have something to say before they are able to get promoted.

Birmingham showing more ambition than us...

almost like a team that's 14th in the table needs to spend more than a team that's top of the league

Because they have so far signed 1 player from MLS?

The funny thing is - From the Brum fans I know and the ones that flash up on my social media feed

They are frustrated with their transfer window so far

 

[alexccfc99]

I genuinely would not be against Thomas leaving...

Prepared to be crucified for that considering he is a fan favourite and 'he hates the Leicester'

Eurgh navigating this thread is like a monkey sifting through elephant shit to find a peanut.

Parks has either created auto negativity bot or has had some kind of breakdown where he thinks he is being funny. Actual genuine posters getting caught up in panic.

I just want some shiity rumours to get me through this cold harsh January

If Bobby Thomas goes to West Ham he may well find himself playing in the Championship next season , whereas he could be playing with us in the Premier League. It probably makes more sense for him to wait until the summer.

Have they? They have signed a racist LB who can't defend, a midfielder with some of the worst stats and potentially a Winger/Attacker we decided was not worth it?

They will look to spend as they have in their eyes massively underachieved so far this season, will they spend well is a very different conversation.

Wagner looks good lets not be silly.

One doubts we are short of money, Dk is probably not willing to gamble the sustainability of the club going forward. Its funny how folks attitude to be a well run club with manageable overheads change in the January transfer window. I do believe that if the right target presents itself and will push us over the line then we should take the chance. The caveat to this though is not to expect too much business being done in the summer unless we sell first or receive significant investment. Who'd be an owner?

They just have more money…. It’s not an ambition thing.

 

[Winny the Bish]

I see all your replies and understand we don’t have an unlimited transfer budget, but surely if there’s any point to go ALL IN then it’s right now?

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

100% he’ll go brum over us, he’s on 40k a week so they will cover all of it. Doug wouldn’t pay it as he’s not ambitious enough, it’s a joke

We are never going to get a better opportunity going all in. Id understand to an extend if we were in the play off mix, but not now.

Even more ridiculous is those telling us we should be prudent and save our money for the prem spend, we aren't even there yet!

 

[Winny the Bish]

We’re top of the league and our starting striker is somehow unsellable despite not scoring in 13 games. Why wouldn’t you bin him off and bring in one of the hottest young strikers in Europe at a net profit? It epitomises “the model” and gives us more firepower.

Because we're half way through the season. We'd be risking someone coming in and firing straight away against already having someone who we know can perform at this level.

He’s about to be benched though because of how shit he’s been for months.

You’re telling me we wouldn’t be able to sign a striker better than this

I’m quite happy for Birmingham to be as ambitious as they like, they would swap for our squad and points total in a heartbeat.

You missed out Preston where he played well and got their CB sent off. Bristol where he caused them problems and set up the winner (no assist as it touched their defender) and Southampton where if we had a decent ref he'd have also got their CB sent off and had a penalty.

His career and time with us suggest the goals will come again.
