He's not signed yet ! But why any player would want to be in a side managed by ",blame everyone except myself" Wilder I would never know

If we get him, I am going back to the Markelo signing thread to stick a poo emoji on every post who said it was madness, or what the hell were we doing.

I don’t know why anyone cried that we signed Markelo. It’s not immediately obvious why we signed him but Lampard has a plan for the squad, we’re signing a £4.3m player* to not be involved.

A psychosis takes a hold of this place when we lose a game or we’re under any pressure. If you’re going to lose your nerve, at least do it when we’ve actually blown our position.

* before people reference KKH or Wolf, you look to change forward players more than defenders.

Given the opportunity to play for either club, you’d be an idiot to join Sheff U over us right now. Even if they offered more money.

Promotion clauses will give nice bonuses and pay rises to most, if not all our players.

Nothing is agreed yet, let’s all calm down a bit until he’s joined. Still think brum will throw up the cash and wages

Before a final decision is made the club just need to ensure that he can cover the wing position if needed

Baffled why this continues to be a dilemma for players. Some clubs I can accept would be in better positions to sign, but bloody Sheff Utd??

I don’t think the Sheff U links come from a credible source, do they? Thought it was one bloke with 112 followers.

For clarity, is it just that guy?

I’ve been pretty convinced we’ll complete the deal since the Nigerian source claimed we were ‘nailed on’ and now the BBC and a Sky journo are claiming we’re progressing it.

He will join whoever pays the best contract. As simple as that !! These guys have no loyalty or history like we do.

The guys been away for weeks playing internationally, he must be shattered, and this is a big move for him. I, like most of you, won't count my chickens but the interview he did with his home country media looks promising, and the fact it is FL plays a big part, IMO. This could be an amazing signing for us and a taste of what's to come should we go up.

Surely if they wrap this up we will see some movement out before hand, maybe Kai Andrews out on loan, makes the Isaac Moore recall have more sense

No, but Sheff U are skint and in a bad place. Players also want to also play at the highest level they can so it’s just down to money.

Maybe Blues can splash the cash but they’re not gonna go up this year.

If you’re a midfielder player you want to play under Frank Lampard. Not fucking Wilder or whoever that Brum manager is.

Frank the Tank also has the best chance to be playing regular prem with us with promotion.

I believe the rumour was Kai Andrews to go on loan to Wigan if we could get in a CM.

I think that would be a great loan and allow him to show what he can do in a tough league.

Guessing he’ll go straight in if we get him. How do we set up with him as a defensive midfielder, wouldn’t him and grimes be too defensive or could we see grimes playing further forward., would love a fully firing rudoni back, gives us a more solid midfield, now just the defence to fix

Drop grimes for him, I’m his biggest fan but he’s lost it the past month. Needs a few games out he looks like he can’t run

Doubt it. CM is a position youre going to want some time with him on the training ground. He would be in the squad but I cant see him starting

Best case scenario we’re beating QPR and he can just come on for 20 mins to close the game out.

I could be wrong, the one Twitter guy is supposedly a local BBC journo, that’s possibly why.

The same Twitter profile has only been active a short while (2025) and as far as I could see had no credible ‘hits’ on other clubs in the local area (Rotherham).

Yea but he can possibly increase his current wage going to Brum and likely have to lower them to come here

Anyone in the squad will get a hefty wage increase on promotion. If money was all that mattered every player would be in the Saudi league.
