25/26 January Transfer Window (164 Viewers)

[TomRad85]

We sold Sheaf for £6.5m.

Bringing in a replacement with 75 EPL appearances for just £1.5m more, would be the swap of the century.

Get it done!

Need to stop fucking about and just get it done.

Crying out for a cb or cm and we’re after an attacker, never change bling it’s comical

Are most getting that horrible feeling we will get Doug coming out on CWR saying we put lots of effort into deals that just didn't come off. And we also lost out on main targets due to others be able to offer more...Ending with the squad is good enough, thanks Lorna....

Its coming i think

That doesn’t sound too far stretched to me but lets hope not

Totally agree it's an easy cop out

Isnt O'Rourke one of the more reliable journo's too?

Would be an odd move.

yeah he’s very reliable, very odd one considering the positions we need

 

[edgy]

He is but I dont think he usually list several clubs when he has concrete stuff. This is standard agent's talk.

20 goals 20 goals Sinayoko.

 

[Matt smith]

Seen a few on Facebook saying that Onyeka is on his way in with Rudoni being sold to Brentford and being loaned back for the remainder of the season. I can see it happening in fairness.

Just about to say that

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Need Oneyka in, said before if we can shift Bidwell and/or Brau and bring in Cirkin then that would be brilliant but after last night I think we need a CB more

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

If brum end up getting him then I’m speechless

Yes

20 goals 20 goals Sinayoko.

Oggy/Clive "It was a lovely ball in by Sakayoko, on a plate for Sinamoto to tap home"

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

20 goals 20 goals Sinayoko.

Even if we were interested we can't compete with Wolves or Middlesbrough on wages.

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Oggy/Clive "It was a lovely ball in by Sakayoko, on a plate for Sinamoto to tap home"

Too many S's for Oggy, might be like when a computer freezes, it's the same for double barrel names lol

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

It could be like the Norman transfer, just random as fuck

 

[Matt smith]

If this Brentford deal is true where’s the money

 

[Calista]

We’re 8 points clear of 3rd…

Having played a game more, and averaging a full point per match less than them for quite a while now.

I think people nearly always overreact on here, but surely nobody can pretend we have been in anything like table-topping form since early December. We've looked like a good Championship side but no more than that. It's a huge challenge for the manager to rediscover the dominance we had before.

I have come to the conclusion we are just hellbent on breaking the League goalscoring record and nothing else...

One crumb of comfort to take is this means plates are spinning in the recruitment department at least

 

[robbiethemole]

We had £10 million for Charlie Hughes in the summer, plus £6.5 m for Sheaf, surely enough for a CM or Is Doug keeping it for a rainy day?
We will never have a better chance to hit the Jackpot of the Prem

 

[Liquid Gold]

Maybe Doug is actually splashing the cash to stop Boro getting a striker?

 

[19Skybluearmy76]

Crying out for a cb or cm and we’re after an attacker, never change bling it’s comical

This is a Boro type signing like Latte-Lath

 

[Otis]

Crying out for a cb or cm and we’re after an attacker, never change bling it’s comical

He's reliable.

Could it possibly be a bit of wheeler dealing going on, last minute?

Maybe someone is after Wright? Or Asante and we are looking at potential replacements were that about to possibly happen?

There will be interest in a few of our players for sure this window. A few mentions

It seems odd, but O'Rourke is a reliable source, so maybe it's something we are just looking at as a contingency, should we lose one of our strikers.

 

[Hobo]

Too many S's for Oggy, might be like when a computer freezes, it's the same for double barrel names lol

Or if Clive mentions who we are playing next, they become the team we are playing now

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Many times he's done it, we're playing Millwall and the proceeds to call them Brighton

I might have to apologise to @chinamans view at this rate, he said we were going with what we've got a few days ago according to someone at the club.

Oh dear if that's true

Registering interest and eyeing a move FC

 

[long way home]

Then if we fall short Doug cant be looking at anyone else to point fingers at.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Crying out for a cb or cm and we’re after an attacker, never change bling it’s comical

While reliable, I can’t see this one.

Just due to the teams mentioned it seems like pure agent bait imo

 

[Boicey]

Might be some truth in this. Although Simms might be more likely to go

 

[jordan210]

can we just sign someone. We need our mood lifting and feels like teams just under us are making deals

 

[viridisman]

Maybe Doug is actually splashing the cash to stop Boro getting a striker?

Doubt it,
So far this season we've spaffed 8 mill on 2 players that dont regularly start games, or often fail to come off the bench. I genuinely feel bad for luke woolfenden, Though im sure the wages take the sting off.

Imagine what that 8mil could get us now.
We're in the lead in a race that gets the club near £200m over the next few years and the policy seems to be "what do we need Frank?"
"Oh doug, probably a good creative box to box midfield option with strong stats, and possibly something solid on the left back".

"OK, well, we've lined up some 37 year old wonderkid with a dodgy birth certificate and fuck it, let's get another centre forward"

 

[Boicey]

Then if we fall short Doug cant be looking at anyone else to point fingers at.

Given that Brau, Woolfy and perhaps KHH haven't been great additions for the money. He might have a finger to point at Frank

 

[Flying Fokker]

A hypothetical question now:

If Rudoni does go to Brentford and we get him back for the rest of the year, and it allows us to sign Hamer and Onyeka, would you be happy or disappointed?

I may hypothetically say yes.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

What is the expenditure of other Championship clubs this transfer window? Curious what other teams have actually spent.

There are a few days left, so we need to wait before going mental. Need to sort something though.
