Torgeir

If the names from previous windows were good enough, no one would mind us recycling the lists...

He was signed for around £500k to a small club in St. Pauli, who was in 2. Bundesliga at the time. Probably received a small pay bump if he had a promotion clause in his contract, but shouldn't be an issue. Goes to show (again) which bracket we're shopping players in. We can pay decent fees but seldom does a decent fee and low wage go hand in hand together. To be fair there's a difference in signing an injured player on loan in August for the season and an injured player on a permanent in January when we're in the relegation zone.

Ismael: ""Situations happen, we were interested in a player then they got injured. All of a sudden, it made no sense for us to take an injured player so we move on." Pretty obvious that he's referring to Cleary, just forgot to mention that we didn't match Barnsleys valuation.

He was on my 'shortlist' initially but he has a bit of experience so decided it had to be someone else. And not that bizarre? But a bit of a mehhhhh signing for me.

Yeah, that was my initial reaction. Either that or someone even more bizarre from another poor league.

I'd be 'happy' with Dike on loan at this point. Can't hope for much better...

Not happening.

If the target is bizarre and not exactly experienced..... Someone playing in Saudi or Qatar or the likes?

Putting my money on Manneh. 💰

Ismael seems outspoken but changes his wording as things transpire. Best chance to get on board with the fans is to be truthful and speak out against the 'regime'. A few days left, so I will pass my final juddgement when the transfer window is shut but it's not looking too bright is it.

I fully agree. They seem almost overly confident that we will surivive once we get some more bodies back. There have been some better teams than this one that have suffered relegation before. Who's to say we won't suffer another injury crisis? It happens every season...

Cadamareri should be in the same price bracket as Leonard so just under £1m. Owls are skint so probably want cash now, and Cadarteri is likely not on big wages like Bannan was, so no big rush to sell perhaps.

He just extended his contract. https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news/yousef-salech-pens-contract-extension

Aren't Sheff W under administration? Rudy probably trying to trigger someone looking at a spreadsheet to let him go for below market value.

I'm a bit sceptical towards Pululu. Some players look like world beaters in the highlight reels but there might be more to the picture.

It can't be just Cadamarteri in and that's it...

Let's see how he performs first before passing judgment. Not my first choice either but proven strikers are a rare commodity these days. Some here have mentioned that we should've been all over Makama in the summer, after he went to Norwich for £1.3m. Easy to say in hindsight, he wasn't highly prolific in League One and Cadamarteri at least has 50 Championship games under his belt at 20 and has shown a bit of promise.

Isn't that a plan?

Cadamarteri leads the line in a poor Sheff W. team. At £1m he's worth a punt imo, and hopefully we can get his goal output ratio up. He's not too dissimilar to Ohashi in that he's a hard-working player that will run all day, but certainly not score all day, but mixed with Gudjohnsen he would probably do well. If he was that highly rated, he would've moved on a long time ago, considering the situation the Owls find themselves in. We still need players who can contribute with goals now, over to you Rudy.

Think we tried to sell him to the highest bidder but there weren't any this window.

Wonder how stubborn Ismael will be with the formation he stumbled upon. We can easily play four at the back with Alebiosu given the license to go forward and the left back more defensively oriented like Cashin, Ribeiro or Pickering. Then Cantwell can play from the left, or Jørgensen. Priority has to be striker.

I think you might have missed my point.

Good shout. He's been struggling with injuries but knows where the goal is.

If they've got Gestede's brother in charge of transfers then their asking price will drop to £2,5m in no-time 😉
