25/26 January Transfer Window (101 Viewers)

[Ccfcisparks]

Neil is a similar player to Grimes but less good at it.

He played as a 6 under Le Bris, but has been used as a number 8 a fair lot.

I might be being stupid but who is Martel?

The Model, Rick Martel. Used to be in the WWF

 

[HuckerbysQuiff]

Ipswich not buying him by sound of it, it’s a loan until the end of the season despite him being out of contract in the summer. Would assume they’d have clause in place to sign him upon promotion.

Lousy Bastard caused Jake the snake Roberts to go temporarily blind

 

[TomRad85]

Dan Neil is a signing i would have found acceptable. Would be happier with Onyeka though, or Hamer for that matter.
Hoping we're not being tight, now is not the time for it. If we lost out on Onyeka to someone like Blues i'd be raging given the position we are in.

Either way I don’t think he’s what we need most in midfield.

Yes Onyeka or Hamer

WWF was something else. What a show.

As predicted we’re gonna miss out on a midfielder

if we only get two loan signings after not really spending much in the summer we didn’t bring in

 

[shmmeee]

Don't they know he's not good enough should they go up?

Fits in with all their other signings then

 

[TomRad85]

Yes Onyeka or Hamer

Seems to be what it has all narrowed down to. One week left. Over to you Doug.

Looks like we’re going to get Onyeka

 

[Yorkshire SB]

Neil would have been a quality addition, that said I don't think he is exactly what we want in midfield. Onyeka is the man.

I'd like to reiterate that last sentence without typing it before everyone jumps on me as trolling.

What have you heard?

Fuck all just going off the article in his thread which seems to be from someone with a contact reading between the lines on the other articles on that site.

And if it’s us vs Sheff Utd or Brum Doug would have to be extra tight for that to fall through.

I didn't click it, assumed it was the same vague drivel just repeated in a different place. Did the site look semi- legit?

I mean it’s full of ads but it’s also got exclusive stories about why Onyeka isn’t playing so could just be a larger scale Saddlebrains. Passed my five second sniff test. We’ll see. Certainly you’d expect Hamer to be causing more smoke considering half the fan base has him on speed dial if that was happening.

A larger scale Saddlebrains would be like some multi-kitman wanking machine. Probably well known in kitman the community.

Of all the names mentioned Onyeka is by far the best, and he would be good enough if, and when, we are promoted. He is also good enough to be adaptable like many premiership players so he could play alongside Grimes and not instead of.

@Jimmy87 you heard anything mate

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Ipswich must be panicking, buying all these players is only going to guarantee them high wage bills. There are only 11 places up for grabs and could upset their camp by dropping players who won't even get in the match day squad

 

[CovRes]

What are his off field issues sorry?

Other than liking a kebab or two, or a night in samoan joes?

He's no stranger to casinos, including the one at the CBS. I've no idea if it's a problem and if he lets it affect his training and playing, but it would be a concern as an employer to know that he like more than just a flutter. Someone I know saw him lose big money up there, although they said he seemed to take it in his stride.

Well not a big deal is it really

Honestly no.
I've only had 2 bits of info off him this window, that was about the winger in the championship and that we had made an enquiry to a Prem club about a midfielder, at that time he said the clubs couldn't agree on a valuation.
Then the link to Onyeka came out so i'm guessing it's him.
This was a while ago though so there was plenty of time to work on things from our point of view, different options, loan with obligation / option etc.
If he is our primary target then i think DK would keep at it. Look at last January, we agreed a fee for Grimes but couldn't agree a payment structure with Swansea for him straight away, but we got it done in the end. It sounds like DK is a good negotiator and from the Brentford managers comments, the player wants away for more minutes.
If he's the one, i hope we get it done, the exact sort of player we need.
