What do we think then? Got to be lots of players available out of contract and others clubs will be looking to off load who won’t play.
Quite excited

I have a feeling we will get 2 in.

MR always plays his cards close to his chest. And its panic week, loads of out of contract players that played hardball all summer will now rather take a contract offer of 6k a week than fuck and all.

Also reckon we will see 4 go out

Pask
Jobello
Hillsner
Drysdale

I don't think anyone will come in and we will save the money for cover in January

You can still sign unattached players after the transfer window closes can’t you?

Didn't Robins say yet again after the match that he will get one more?

Personally think we will be stuck with Hilsner and jobello. Gonna be a struggle to offload them.

Yeah you can but I cant remember the last time signing an unattached player so late worked. They usually come miles behind fitness wise.

Can't see it being in Robins plans

This window which has a week to run is going to be very interesting all sorts of players not fixed up and lots of EFL clubs at the bare bones squad wise the lack of finance due to covid is becoming clear.
Reading what MR has said I’m hopeful he will bring another in good time to do so with the international brake to get newbies up to our high fitness levels.

Jobello may attract some team as he has proven in the past to be a decent player, we have just changed style

And a lot of those players will be of higher proven ability than some of our surplus

Hilssner is probably being advised to stay here - either that or go back to Germany’s third tier

It wouldn’t hurt to ask for a bit more money to finish higher (theoritically) and we would then generate more money

Don’t see why another tram would take one of the bomb squad on and pay a fraction of the wage. Win win for everyone, we reduce costs, they get a cheap player, player gets fitness and in the shop window.

I would rather a permantent young DM who would be a suitable back up who wouldnt mind being 5th choice when Kelly and Eccles return, as long as they have the determination to work to get into the picture

The only person who's ever blocked me on Twitter, purely for pointing out to him last season why established Championship teams like Birmingham generally will have a bigger budget than us.

6th with the resurgence of Allen at CM.

Just a LWB and a couple of CBs needed for me now.

I think Allen is more of an attacking than defensive midfielder

You would have thought they would have come forward by now? He also hasn't played on two years, and given for it'd a buyer's market, I personally cannot see it. Think we are stuck, happy to be proven wrong mind!

I think we need some young Cbs for the u23’s of which can step into the first team if required

Are there many notable unattached players around that would suit us? I genuinely haven't been able to keep track...

Oh definitely, but he played that role well enough Saturday that we aren’t desperate. We are desperate for a LWB and a CB though.

Perhaps Jetro Williams a LWB who has previously been at Newcastle and Galatasaray but fallen off recently market valued at around 2.25 mil, free agent, the only issue I can see is wages and selection issues between him and Maatsen

Giovanni Van Bronckhorst is also a free agent and without a club. Worth a look?

Perhaps Muhamed Besic, recently released from Everton, 28 year old DM didnt really get a look in and is valued at 1.25 mil, could be a good squad player and brings a bit of versatility being able to play CB and RB, has played 52 games in the Championship and 46 in the premier league, teams he has featured for include Sheffield United, Middlesborough and Everton

Yeah, not sure chelsea would be happy about that, pretty sure Maatsen has come to be first choice. He does have some good experience, but I also think wages (even if getting a bit desperate) might be an issue. Also, his middle name is Sexer

Lol. I mean he is a LB and at 46 I guess he can't reasonably expect to be first choice...
