Wagner committed 4 fouls against Sakamoto and got booked for a horrible tackle on him - he obviously worried him a bit. He looks good going forward but question marks defensively.
Click to expand...
yes but after he was booked he didn't attack as we should have, probably didn't all game

Lovely left foot, defensively suspect which is how a lot of LBs are these days

Doubt it. Think the wingers were a high priority given our lack of depth there, and evidenced by the players we were linked to and speed of the business. We’ll be more selective and considered with any further signings I think.

Yeah, we can afford to take our time which who we look to sign in to add to the CM depth

Rumours locally he has forced a move as Poch has told him he needs to play at a higher level than the Championship to secure a WC spot. (Not sure the MLS can be counted as this, but is apparently is the narrative)

Might well be the reason Haji is faltering (if he's received a similar ultimatum) - and seemingly having his name touted amongst the press to various suitors as per his new agency...

Unfortunately for Haji, being on a 14 goal drought since October is hardly screaming ‘Premier League player’ to potential suitors domestically and abroad.

They are creaming over this Jhon Solis. You'd think they'd have learnt by now, their recruitment overall has been garbage.
I do think their new LB is good though.

Blues having a great window.

A forward, a LB, and a dynamic CM.

Sounds like the transfer list of a certain skiing enthusiast.

I know you’re taking the piss, but I’m positively sure a lot of people were saying this seriously back in 23/24 when they got relegated!

I literally don’t care who blues are signing, they’re so far behind if they catch us it’s because we’ve self combusted. And we’ve played them twice already.

Dion Sanderson was raved about that year. Which goes to show yet again that us fans have no idea what we’re talking about in relation to recruitment and talent ID’ing.

I’m not exempt, outside of Cov and England, I’ll watch whatever is on TV so mostly Prem and UCL. The posters on here who can recommend players in the J-League, Scandi leagues and so on… hats off to them, they must watch a lot of football.

I think it’s something we’ll definitely be looking to do but will depend on Doug thinking we’re getting good value.

He doesnt spunk, he doesnt even have a little dribble out the end of his knob.

He's scared to part with his cash

Buchanan the LB was raved about and then got turned inside so badly at the CBS that I still think he's in the Tesco car park trying to find his way back in.

But I'm not sure you will see "normal" Doug behaviour this window. He is said to be anti loans as he doesn't see the value but he's okayed 2 already. He knows how much promotion is worth so he's willing to ok things he wouldn't really this window.

I agree to an extent, I’m just thinking about the type of player we need. Maybe it will be another loan. But if it was a permanent, I can’t see us getting someone ready to straight in and perform for less than £7-10m which he might baulk at.

Jury is still out on Wagner, let's see what he's like against a team that attacks him as Saka did fuck all to worry him.

Solis? An okay but young could be good midfielder. If he was as good as they think he wouldn't be coming to them.

Also they've creamed themselves over many a player who turned out to be shite, Kyogo and that other Japanese fella who has played so little I can't remember his name are 2 examples.

I reckon they only signed Wagner so their dickhead owner is watching a load of people cut around Birmingham with his surname on the back of shirts

But on the other hand he is not likely to be this close to completely his business plans which is clearly to get us to a position he can sell us on for a big profit again so you may see him take more risks.

He won't spend this window.

He will hope he can get us up on minimal investment needed and then hope to turn a tidy sum come the summer

Harrison Burrows getting interest from Turkey. Wouldn't be a bad signing for the rumoured fee.

I think he might spend but only if he’s convinced of a few things

- They’ll make a genuine difference to our promotion push
- He’s getting a good deal on the transfer fee
- They’ll have resale value in the future

Struggles to defend and is much more of a wingback than a fullback. Better than Bidwell or Brau but think he would struggle in our system.

To rationalise it slightly, he’s only 21 and you’d say La Liga is of a better standard than the Championship so he may prove to be better than that demonstrates in the long run.

Besides, any deal will have some typical City Football Group buy-back/sell-on arrangement where it makes no sense to do.

To not be so rude to him. La Liga is a better league than the championship. But I still have reservations looking at the stats. And like you say the buyback make very little financial sense
