It will be goodrham, he’s been made available weirdly in Jan

I doubt it, he's not even getting in the Oxford team

Good player and good potential, was linked with us and Leeds for a 5 million pound move not long ago! Definitely seems to be a falling out between him and management

Honestly man, if i knew more i would say. He rarely gives a name until it's virtually done. I literally just asked him on Saturday if there were any more whispers about incomings, his words were we had been monitoring a midfielder from abroad and made an enquiry about a Championship winger. So i was just left to discuss who it could be.

I don't get much from him but what he does tell me usually turns out to be good. Everything he told me in the summer was pretty spot on. Apart from Sheaf, i don't think anyone saw that coming, it was very last minute.

Probably a cheeky offer for Mehmeti with 6 months left on his contract.

i’d heard we bid £3m

 

[HJones23]

I can see some crazy loan deals happening in Jan with players desperate for game time to get selected for the WC

Yeah maybe they have made an enquiry about how much they would let him go for, If it is him. From what everyone is saying on here it seems he is the one most likely due to his contract situation.

Goodrham seems more likely to me

Mehmeti would be a serious signing. Get it done Doug, empty those moths from your wallet.

I can see King wishing for promotion and staying there as Sunderland are doing, I don't think he wants us to be a yoyo club, and with that in mind some of the players coming in January will be players that can make it in the Premiership, and although the Oxford lad is good I'm not sure if he can make it at a higher level. As a few have mentioned loanees from Premeiership clubs or abroad seem more likely.

He signed a new contract last summer didn't he? The rumoured player is meant to be in his final year.

rumoured by who? Jimmy has only said a championship winger.

we’ve been interested in him before and he’s fully dropped out of consideration at oxford

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Mehmeti is predominantly an AM, that's been his position for Bristol City this season too. Surely @Jimmy87's source wouldn't call him a winger if he's an AM that has played LW as a secondary position.

No i wouldn't think so either but an AM also comfortable at LW sounds ideal for us. Especially a quality one like that.

 

[TomRad85]

Doesn't Wilder chuck Hamer on the wing for some bizarre reason? Might be time for a few of our regulars to start rubbing one out. It's happening.

 

[Jimmy87]

Goodrham seems more likely to me

Is he a winger? I remember we were supposedly after him a couple of years ago i think?

Edit: sorry just seen your next post that we were.

It does sound ideal, but probably doesn't sound like the player Jimmy's source is describing as much as I want it to be the case because he's a top end Championship player.

He'd have been on my small list of players who i think could (emphasis on could) step up to the Prem.

I share your view personally. It's just interesting that Bamford was going to be signed until King pulled the plug. It begs a few questions:
1) Why did Lampard want him?
2) Why did King veto the move?
3) Is there a backup plan from either King/Lampard?

The answer imo is that we have someone else in mind in Jan, be a loan or permanent.

I’m convinced Lampard just doesn’t like Simms as a player. And King has told him to find a buyer then. Simms was a significant investment and could have cost us £8.5m if we go up this season.

Looking back the contract thing seems to have morphed out of people naming Mehmeti.

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Tbf Mehmeti would be a class signing

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Lampard likes him, he was second choice behind Haji last season. This season, Haji and BTA’s form has meant you can’t drop either right now and had Simms scored v Pompey, probably gets a a start v Watford.

That’s all academic. Lampard has shown a willingness to be meritocratic in team selection so expect Simms to start v Boro, with or without BTA.

Probably sounds ridiculous to say this, but I still believe Simms to be the goal scorer overall. BTA is 1 goal shy of his best goal scoring season and we’re still in November, he’s having a career-best season.

To be fair, something seems to be clicking in Simms’ head in recent games, in the nick of time as far as all parties are concerned.

 

[JSL]

Is it likely we may actually sell someone? Maybe Rodrigues to Wigan?

You say that but he seemed Bamford worth pursuing.
