25/26 January Transfer Window (115 Viewers)

[Lamps]

the same poster said he would play Thomas upfronr rather than sign bamford

You're very good at lying when you want one of your stupid digs at someone.

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'

Thomas leaving can't even be considered given the alternatives we currently have.

 

[skybluecam]

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.

Yeah let's pin our promotion hopes on a guy who's had one good season in Sweden! No brainer!

Concerning we havent heard more on a CM

Is it? You were pissing your pants about us not going to get any signings hen 2 wingers appeared.

 

[Deity]

We should also not sign players if we do go up cos we might get relegated.

Basically only sign players if stranded in mid table.

We have signed 2 already this window. Calm down.

You’re arguing with a goldfish.

The non existent memory allows him to disregard all facts and treat each moment as if it were his first.

Would be nice to see some money spent on a marquee central midfielder.

[Nick]

I'd like us to sign Antoni Kozubal or Rocco Robert Shein

I’m sure we are trying, I’m sure most clubs are trying. It’s a perfect time for Agents to play their games and extract maximum value.

 

[Lamps]

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?

Depends what you mean by all in. The more we spend now the less we have to spend in the summer. It's easier to sign players in the summer and if we’re in the Prem we would have a better chance of getting even better players as a Prem side.

I'm a shark in a sea full of goldfish.

You're all just food to me.

Grimes is an example of the level of funds and player we should still be in for.

On Look North this evening Regis Le Bris hs stated that Dan Neil is going nowhere in the transfer window, even though he’s only played 13 minutes in the Premier League this evening. Could mean nothing, of course…..

 

[blunted]

Im going to be the one to say it as I know the opinion isn't a sexy one. Presuming he's motivated Harry Winks is a better option than just about all the other suggestions on here.

He is, but out of our pay range I would imagine. Depends how desperate Leicester are to get rid, and may loan with a much reduced contribution from the receiving team. However, doesn't really fit our character assessment and appears a disruptive influence.

 

[shmmeee]

I was clearly very angry when I wrote that. Your EQ must be off the charts.

 

[blunted]

I would like to see us shut up shop a bit more during games and just see games out away from home. We should have come away with a draw at Birmingham. Those points can add up.

As daft as it sounds, and how much we were being outplayed by Ipswich at home, bringing KKH on to man mark Clarke may have got us a 0-0 in that match. However, it is not the Lampard way. Shit or bust.

 

[SBT]

Unfortunately you can’t have ambition without money

Birmingham’s entire ambition is to be in our shoes. Don’t care how much ambition they have so long as we’re top of the league and they’re not.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We need to be all over this.

 

[blunted]

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?

History tells us the last time we gambled it all went pear shaped and we ended up in League 2.
I will be surprised if we don't get one more, but it has to be the right player at the right price.

 

[Chris1987]

The rest of this season is crunch time..We can't throw money around like some but we have to make the right investments and gamble a bit to get us promoted. Opportunities like this have to be taken .

That was different. Years of decline on the pitch, stupid decisions off the pitch and compounded by relegation.

He is all over the place. Also he admits he spreads bullshit. Which in my book is just his safety net

Yes please what a different striker he would be.

What came next was absolutely the case but, the moment we went from a lower top division club that was run properly, running a small deficit, to a club with massive debt left us vulnerable.
The leagues are littered with clubs that spent too much and floundered during that period.
The advent of the billionaire owners has pretty much changed the dynamic now. You either spend, spend, spend like the top clubs or buy sensibly and develop like Brighton, Palace and Brentford. You do that until the sugar daddy comes along.
If we had Birmingham's purchasing power, w would probably be 18 points clear now.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

I mean Vik was literally at a PL club. Gus when we were linked had his stats everywhere after a huge response from the data scout community (not sure what the scare quotes are for?). We knew they were players with huge ability because they’d shown it already. Go back to the threads on them being linked and it wasn’t just some badly edited shit music YouTube vid like most of those linked these days.

agree to disagree

 

[Didge76]

Really is.

What’s with the Birmingham ???
you seem to follow a lot of what there doing so why not do us all a favour and go and support them you muppet!!!

I'm gonna see how the rest of the transfer window goes before deciding.

I'll be honest if the window goes how it seems with their targets I'll start supporting Wagner and the project.

 

[Didge76]

Cause Haji's shite

Go and support Birmingham then you tool

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Is that Michael Owen or David Walliams?

Pay attention, he said its some bird.
