January Transfer Needs

[rovers11]

O'Riordan will be coming back which I think is a sensible decision as he's been one of the best defenders in lge 1 this season. 

I'd scrub off a RB from the list as Litherland is more than a capable deputy for Alebiosu. Miller and TGH can also cover there. We need to squeeze as much out of our budget as possible.

CD, two attackers, and CM are the priority. Surely they have to be experienced players who are ready to make an impact from day one.

Gueye will definitely go, probably Pickering too. Tyjon likely as he's clearly not signing a new contract here so may as well get rid.

there is no way lyndon dykes is taking a pay cut to come here,he would improve our set pieces though,guaranteed to get his head on them

Was just about to mention his alleged wage of somewhere between £15K & £20K/week

or he has scored 7 in 54 for Birmingham, which included a year playing for possibly the best funded League 1 team in history who walked the league at a canter.  add to that he is now in his 30s, the signs point to a decline on what was not a prolific record in the first place

Dyke’s a blunt instrument. Gudjohnsen has his faults but when it comes to converting chances into goals he’s pretty good. Not many would have put that cross at Preston away and made it look easy peasy.

and how many games have he actually started? 

Birmingham signed a striker for £8m which was over half of their transfer spent and he has zero games. Dykes has 2. 

It was just a suggestion that's all guys

Has he though?

Didn't realise they have only won 1 out of there last 15 league games.

We need somebody who’s more like Gudjohnsen than Dykes. Somebody who’s more of a poacher than a grafter. We’ve got Ohashi to do the spadework. It’s a shame Gudjohnsen has got injured, they were looking to have formed a good partnership. It’s not  easy making signings when we’re down to our last magic bean. Oh to have the money we wasted on Gallagher and Brererton again. That’d buy you a good player at this level even now. I wonder what Southampton would want for Alan Armstrong ?

You can still be a very good performer in a underperforming/poor team

Doncaster's manager (& fans on their forum) gave fairly scathing reports of their loanees, with the exception of O'Riordan, who was singled out for praise

I wonder just how outstanding/exceptional a defender has been, in a team who has won once since the beginning of September, but he will probably do an adequate job as cover for Miller

Think he's on about £60k a week, so even if they have him away for free he'd have to accept a brutal pay cut to return here. Granted he might have had a wage reduction after relegation, but even so, well out of our price range!

That’s a non starter then.

Agree with most that post, but if you mean Adam Armstrong, he would be well outside of our budget

Gudjohnsen stays centre of the pitch, has decent link up play, whilst Ohashi looks to run the channels. I think Dykes could play a similar role to Gudjohnsen. 

Dykes roughly average 1 goal every 4.5 games at QPR so that's 10 goals a season. If he could come in a get 5 goals within 15 games period then I would be be happy. 

Everytime with yourself, you are so quick to slagged off and moan about people's suggestions whilst coming up with none of your own and when asked, we get the standard line, I'm not a scout, i don't know on fees involved but I will continue to moan at others for their suggestions. 

Nothing patronising in my post but yet again, just posted the same old comments from you. You didn't read my comments and you misunderstood who does the transfer negotiations otherwise you wouldn't have posted what you did. 

No-one comment about its well structure or harmonious but you throw these comments in for some unknown reasons 

Gudjohnsen and Dykes might play in similar areas but the main difference is the most important. Gudjohnsen seems to have a knack of scoring goals. Dykes certainly doesnt.

I am not in a position to find and know enough about my own transfer suggestions. But I do know Lyndon Dykes enough to know that hes a bit of a donkey. I think Hardie as a suggestion has more merit to it. Mind you, its a pretty depressing thought that the 4th/5th/6th choice strikers at promoted teams are almost certainly unobtainable (certainly without wage contributions) to us, a side who finished 7th last season.

We need 2 strikers. I cant say I have any confidence in us getting 2, in us getting anyone good or in us getting anyone in proactively.

Agreed.

One of the best defenders in the league though?
