25/26 January Transfer Window (104 Viewers)

[TomRad85]

Exactly the same feeling.

We wouldn't be that Kamikaze surely.

Can definitely see a couple of outgoings too.

Can definitely see a couple of outgoings too.

Plus the €5m rumoured fee means surely there's cash to spend as they aren't going to blow the budget on a transfer like this

 

[Hobo]

Plenty of time for players to leave.

I would put any of our current squad ahead of Markelo. Brau on paper is far more experienced. At 23 he seems too old to be a project.

 

[19Skybluearmy76]

Signing someone in a position that seemed totally unnecessary actually has me pretty positive we're signing players in more necessary positions also. Don't let me down Doug.

I said exactly the same thing

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

We need to sign that very big Centre Back "Harry Shaw"

Nah. No acceleration and turning circle of a bus.

 

[Diogenes]

Nah. No acceleration and turning circle of a bus.

Didn't he retire and take up coaching?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Didn't he retire and take up coaching?

Defensive coach. Very negative. Always getting teams to park the bus.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We can’t afford to carry passengers in this team…

 

[Freddie]

Hopefully we can sign a few more players to make the bench stronger and cement our place in the Championship for another season or four.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Weren’t we after this guy this time last season?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Weren’t we after this guy this time last season?

 

[ccfc1234]

Weren’t we after this guy this time last season?

Yes and I think he went to Ryton and Lampard was not overly impressed by his attitude so we didn't pursue a deal.

There used to be a character on the Fast Show, his wife would send him out with a shopping list and he'd come back with the complete opposite . Maybe DK has become that character .

 

[Otis]

Yes and I think he went to Ryton and Lampard was not overly impressed by his attitude so we didn't pursue a deal.

Well that's cool, because Norwich have a bad attitude..

 

[CovRes]

Weren’t we after this guy this time last season?

Rangers fans were gutted when we walked away from the deal.

This new story is probably just his agent at work.

With Clement having seen him up close and not selecting him for Rangers it would be an odd outcome for him to now go to Norwich.

 

[quinn1971]

Looks like we’re going for the we need more goals philosophy in this window, wouldn’t be surprised if we bring another forward in, biggest transfer window we’ve had and for what’s at stake i hope we’re not just panic signing, esse was a decent one. I just want the next signing to be a “ we mean business” one, 6 days to go

 

[wingy]

Have we signed someone?
I've just seen something on YT?
Mekela?

Can't tell if you're taking the piss yes we have Jahnoah Markelo

 

[quinn1971]

Never know with those highlight reels but bloody hell the lads rapid,

He looks brave too and tries to take his man on but the reality is the Swiss league isn't as competitive as the Championship let's see how he finds it. I definitely think there's potential from his highlights and looks calm and assured picking good passes or crosses.

Boro confirm they have scouted Lassine Sinayoko but have ruled themselves out this window in The Gazette. I live in Teesside and pals at work Boro fans have not been overly impressed with the link. Which leaves us and Wolves, oh and Birmingham City

Delano Burgzorg's move to Bristol City is back on after Middlesbrough completed a move for Jeremy Sarmiento

That’s the problem, esse was always going to slot straight in, haven’t got time to hope they do like Yang, hopefully see what he can do against Oxford

 

[SlovakSkyBlue]

Ipswich just signing anyone were in for the make us weaker? .


Also £4.2m for a random winger, do they not realize we have needed a new cm and lb since last summer?

 

[Tea & Busquets]

Don’t really understand the signing unless Saka’s leaving, but I trust the recruitment team, and tbf this Markelo chap looks quite good. Hopefully Frank will be able to get a tune out of him.

 

[WestEndAgro]

I thought a signing might bring a end to the "bed wetting " it's actually made it worse!

 

[Cally Fedora]

Looks a decent addition on paper - which is all we have to go on. Esse disappears again in 4 months and Saka needs cover.

If he can obtain an Equity Card, Wrexham are also interested

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Is it me, or is this January window more manic than usual in The Championship?

 

[Otis]

Is it me, or is this January window more manic than usual in The Championship?

Definitely seems so.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Maybe it’s not the transfer window that’s more manic…

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Maybe it’s not the transfer window that’s more manic…

The Birmingham, Wrexham factor has definitely increased the activity, coupled with the FOMO element re: play offs/autos.

 

[David O'Day]

Those 2 know they need to get up before EFL PSR catches up with them so they'll spend now and hope they can run fast enough,

Might just be me then!

 

[A-Lighter-Shade-Of-Blue]

Surely the whole point of a transfer window is to make the starting XI better, not just pad out the bench. Look at the business we’ve done, both in the summer and January. Almost every player we’ve brought in feels like backup. On a good day, most of them still wouldn’t get into the strongest lineup. Rushworth aside, are we honestly saying Woolfy, KKH, Mini, Brau or now Markelo would be first-choice? Because I don’t see it. There’s been some chat about Esse, but from what we’ve actually seen so far he’s decent going forward and pretty much anonymous defensively. And defending is a massive part of how our wingers are supposed to play. You can’t just ignore that side of the game. So after all those moves, are we actually any better off than we were before? I’m struggling to see it.
