I know we probably have to clear the decks of others not in Struber plans. Just wondered if there are any names being linked?
I've heard we are discussing bringing in a centre half on loan from a premier league club but I have no name or club. Maybe Goldthorpe-Red can offer something more specific.
Could be some wholesale changes again. Having not featured I presume Thiam, Pinillos and Green on transfer list and be moved on. Other first teamers I would say are at risk having featured little under Struber would be Cavare, Mcgeehan, Wilks, and potentially Dougall. Would be surprised if Mowatt left us now. But no surprise to see Woodrow go if right offer came in. My wish list. Keep Woodrow, bring in Right Back, Centre Back, Midfielder, Striker (preferably - tall, physical). All Championship quality and to go straight in to starting xi.
Reckon we will see at least a couple from Austrian and German leagues. Can't see us signing big names such as Konsa (moved to villa for £12m, and featuring), but top young talent in on loan possible. More likely non league or Scottish Premiership at best. Sam Cosgrove from Aberdeen would be good addition.
I think as fans we look at selling and buying players through rose coloured specs. The reality is, nobody really wants our fringe players so were probably stuck with them, unless we literally give them away. Recent history suggests that we will flog 1/2 first teamers during January. That's just the way it is.
Roll up, roll up! It’s the reds January sell off! Get you bargains here. I can see Wednesday buying Woodrow... just because they can. Haven’t they a car park to sell to themselves for 1 billion dollars? Hopefully we’ll hold on to key players and gain a couple of good eggs... time will tell....
My guess Mcgeehan to Sunderland Wilkes to Hull Pinnilos leagie 1 Thiam Cavare to french clubs Woodrow to West Brom for £6m. All sales recoup £8m to cover possible relegation, spend £2m on loan defender, foriegn striker and defensive midfielder.
Spot on that Plob… And one of the big problems with offering 3-4 year deals. If they don't make the first team regular, you're stuck with em..
We can free up a number of squad places without losing any of the recent incoming on 4 year deals. Thiam, Cavare, Pinillos, even a nominal fee for these would free up wages for other(s). Mcgeehan and I can see Dougal going too.
To think - this thread is titled ‘any rumours of INCOMING’ How bad would it get if it was about outgoing?
Its all about money... if any player is on more money here than he is being offered elsewhere, the likelihood of getting him out the door is pretty slim, unless we pay him up. Or on the off chance that they want to move of personnel reason is the only time you can get a player away..
They watched a kid from Bournemouth in a u21/u23s or whatever it is back in October, could be him? Not heard anything recently mind, mainly because... well, yano.
