The club rated Brau and Bassette too and they didnt work out. I think Manneh is a gamble. And we cant afford a gamble at this stage. We need a few proven loans or short term deals.

Cool lets go with fan suggestions instead then because Brau and Bassette didn't work out. Good idea, i hope Austin and Lampard are reading this.

Birmingham will be in serious bother further down the line if they keep spending like this tbh.
Hopefully. Or theyll just keep getting away with it like Man City/Leicester.

I know everyone is kicking off at the guy but i fully understand if Blues has come in and offered double that he'd at least be trying to get us to up our offer slightly. I feel like anyone would do the same if they were offered 2 jobs at the same time and the one they prefer was offering less money.

If we're offering less now, we could offer a higher wage as a promotion clause. He's more likely to get promoted and on a better wage with us next season (which would kick in, in 6 months) than go to Blues on a bigger wage now and likely still be in the Championship next season.

Man City will, small clubs like Blues and Leicester will get hit eventually.

wow... Not sure on this.

Looks like we have lost out on Manneh.
I feel like i read somewhere that Manneh is better in the 10. Could have just been some random Swede on Twitter though.

Liked the look of Min-hyeok when I’ve seen him tbh.

EMC on the left
Esse in the no 10
Rak-Sakyi on the right
Wilson up top

Make it happen Douglas
I really think the experience of Wilson in that front line is what we need to get us over the line. I just worry that if Doug didnt want to pay Bamford what he wanted, Callum Wilson is a non-starter unless out of sentiment alone he's willing to take a huge pay-cut.

To be honest I can't see Wilson coming back mainly due to wages, but if we could sort a good deal out and he can stay fit for half a season then I'd have him no problem

Central defender who is an upgrade on either Thomas or more likely Kitching. Let's face it we should have beaten Brum 2-0

Signing at least 4 this Jan aren't we. Rightly so, Doug needs to give Frank a decent sized squad to get this done. No more fullbacks playing as wingers, thank Christ!

Think Hughes is probably the only one you’d be sure that’s the case and not sure Doug’s got the bollocks (secured investment) to drop £15m or whatever he costs.

Not convinced on this guy. Portsmouth fans aren't dissapointed his loans ending and say hes very lightweight.
