January Transfer Window.

[rover23]

Only strikers in Blackburn tomorrow will be Gallagher, Vale and the teachers by the looks of things!

That's more like it! Cook and O'Brien through the door. A striker too please. 

They're not through the door though, as far as we know.

I thought the LT deadlined day feed summary at the top was interesting...says a striker is our top priority, but the only two players it mentions are a defender and a midfielder. Sounds about right.

O'Brien would be an excellent signing though. Shame it's just a loan but a buy is unaffordable without promotion. I just don't think it's much use if we aren't going to sign a striker too. If we don't get promoted, no use paying high wages and possibly fees to borrow him and Thomas when we have a low budget and are meant to be building for the future.

West Brom have signed Chalobah.

O'Brien is happening 

[davulsukur]

West Brom have signed Chalobah, so should rule them out of signing O'Brien 

[Angry_Pirate]

More fool Nottingham Forest for thinking they're possibly getting £10m in the summer! 🤣

Maybe we should try and loan more players offering to pay £100m if we win the UCL, FA Cup and Premier League in the next half decade.

Forest singing 38 players is finally catching up to them... praying they go down.

West Brom unable to match OUR package?

 

The difference is baggies might go up and are out of pocket by £10m. Unless we sign a striker too we won't need the £10m

Sharpe hopeful 

 

 

[islander200]

Thomas , O' Brian, Cook and a striker would be a fantastic window

A decent striker added to that and I'll send Broughton a case of red.

Can our official socials not announce anything? Whys it reliant on Sharpe?

It gives the club plausible deniability.

It would be very impressive but I'm not hopeful we'll get all that done.

It sounded like we only had enough wages to cover 1 incoming after Hirst left?

I can’t for the life of me work out why we’d spend a penny on a centre back when we are so desperate for a number 9.

They haven't had the courage to announce BBD's pre contract agreement yet assuming it's genuine. Allegedly trying to water it down by announcing it alongside another signing. 

Sky announced re BBD

In fairness that came from one poster.

We have already signed Thomas and on the verge with O'Brien.

O'Brien alone will be costing us more than 10k per week

Looks like I'll have to put the usual early night on deadline day on the back burner !

Think it means the transfer agreement 

[Angry_Pirate]

Brereton-Diaz, Sorba, Dack and O'Brien (Even JRC 🤣) offering better service would make me okay if it was Gallagher as the starting #9. He could easily score 10+ goals going forward playing with a proper winger, an inform Dack, +O'Brien.

Just please no Dack as the "False 9" to accommodate O'Brien. 

We know Gallagher is completely out of form, but I think every person on this thread would have 5+ goals at Man City this season if replaced with Haaland. We're (in essence) taking the two most creative (best) players from a team last year that arguably should be in the EPL already if not for some terrible Ref/VAR decisions in the Playoff Final last year.

Travis, Dolan, Hedges, Vale, Buckley, Garrett, Morton just aren't creative enough consistently. And now they're role players.

O'brien isn't needed.  A striker Is a PRIORITY.

Because Wharton is currently unreliable and Ayala is due his couple of winter months off.

Anybody that improves the team is needed ! 

O'Brien does that

He is most certainly needed, our midfield gets bullied week in week out, O'Brien was one of the best CMs in this league for Huddersfield and would instantly transform our weak as piss midfield 

Agree striker is priority though
