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
to be honest with where we aim to be it would be most underwhelmingThink this is a good shout to be honest for who it is.
Helps he can cover AM, RW and LW so would give us good depth and is a good age to develop
Think it’s the most pragmatic but doubt he’d be the only one to come through the door.to be honest with where we aim to be it would be most underwhelming
is £5m on someone who’s 23 and never ripped up this league really pragmatic?Think it’s the most pragmatic but doubt he’d be the only one to come through the door.
Especially as I don’t think whoever we sign for the CAM or RW backup will be starting over Saka or Rudoni but more so understudying
Is that how much they’d want for him? Thought it’d be a bit lower considering the falloutis £5m on someone who’s 23 and never ripped up this league really pragmatic?
anything over a couple of million would be a significant wasteIs that how much they’d want for him? Thought it’d be a bit lower considering the fallout

Depends which random twitter account you beleiveHow much are we thinking the club will be spending in January. Seemingly an impression the club will spend in Jan based on Jimmys and Quinn’s posts.
Also wonder what’s happened with the left winger from Sweden. Weren’t we meant to be having a meeting on Thursday about a potential transfer?
Worthwhile gamble for a midtable team imo, i think we probably aim higher now personally. Mehmeti despite being a rumour completely made up on here is more up our street.This. He’s a decent enough player, but I would also be underwhelmed if Tyler Goodhram (or however you spell it!) was one of our Jan transfers based on our current position.

I'm sure Rudoni spends a lot on his appearance, but even for him, £7m on perms is a bit much.£7-10m on perms and maybe some loans
