I doubt it, he's not even getting in the Oxford team
It will be goodrham, he’s been made available weirdly in Jan
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 managementI doubt it, he's not even getting in the Oxford team
Probably a cheeky offer for Mehmeti with 6 months left on his contract.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.
i’d heard we bid £3mProbably a cheeky offer for Mehmeti with 6 months left on his contract.
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.Probably a cheeky offer for Mehmeti with 6 months left on his contract.

He signed a new contract last summer didn't he? The rumoured player is meant to be in his final year.Goodrham seems more likely to me
rumoured by who? Jimmy has only said a championship winger.He signed a new contract last summer didn't he? The rumoured player is meant to be in his final year.
No i wouldn't think so either but an AM also comfortable at LW sounds ideal for us. Especially a quality one like that.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.
Is he a winger? I remember we were supposedly after him a couple of years ago i think?Goodrham seems more likely to me
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.No i wouldn't think so either but an AM also comfortable at LW sounds ideal for us. Especially a quality one like that.
He'd have been on my small list of players who i think could (emphasis on could) step up to the Prem.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.
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.
Looking back the contract thing seems to have morphed out of people naming Mehmeti.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
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.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.
As usualLooking back the contract thing seems to have morphed out of people naming Mehmeti.
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.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.

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.
He's a different profile and Bamford tbf has played AM, RW LW as well as striker so seemed like a decent FA to add like Paterson last season.You say that but he seemed Bamford worth pursuing.
They can also drop him off in a few weeksTbf Mehmeti would be a class signing
Think this is a good shout to be honest for who it is.rumoured by who? Jimmy has only said a championship winger.

4 for me maybe I'm an imbecile to think we need cover at LB DM and 2 wingers but I think Frank feels the same way.
Let's stick with the little old Cov mindset though. We'll be fine to run Tats into the ground... Grimes never gets injured.. yeah Bidwell can definitely be adequate cover. Let's pretend EMC doesn't have record for injuries. We'll be fine and it's totally worth gambling this amazing opportunity we have just so we don't upset the precious feels of a few fringe players
Madness, we have been short of depth for years now is the time to act. Nobody needs to come in on a promise when we are a very attractive proposition for loads of players. A massive chance for any permanent signings to be a prem player in 6 months. A really good experience for loanees. But they would have to fight for their place. The Burnley players not playing is irrelevant, cover and depth isn't starters is it, it's an insurance plan. Hopefully we can survive with the minimal changes but sod risking not having cover if the worst happens
