Carter is out for 10-11 weeks... daym 😶

wow, last week could of been his last game for us.

Irrespective of what’s happening in India I feel we will selll Wharton on the next bid either way...It’s just now it’s gone from 90% confidence to 100%.

Task now is to find some cheap replacements.

Wow, surely we have to be thinking about this?!

Not sure if this is just a follow on from previous reports but looks like we're still keen on getting McGuire in - Stoke are also keen so we may loose out on this one.

Love it

18.5m? Thats a lot of money - Let’s hope we don’t regret it.

Jesus he’s huge! I’ve got a good feeling about this signing.

I don’t think Whartons mum retweeting that is a sign of anything - Maybe it’s a proud thing? 

Palace have set the bar now so the best thing we can do is sell in a summer for more than what’s being offered and ask for players possible in return (loan).

I don’t get the idea of bringing in Rak Sakyi now, however in the summer it would be a great deal.

Dolan hopeful to be back for this game which is a big boost!

Just read that Hearts won't entertain bids of less that £2m for Alex Cochrane... safe to say that we are completely out of that 'race' now.

We were out of the race since Ipswich and Burnley were interested sadly.

That's what it sounds like to me, if it's true. I wouldn't mind that, bringing in an experienced keeper on loan and sending Leo to League One whilst he adjusts to English football. Or abroad, to see if it can tempt buyers or restore his confidence.

Yeah, just reading more into it, sounds like he’s close to signing for Cardiff…o well.

Wahlstedt out on Loan? 

If we are going for a winger then I personally would try and get in touch Brest about Dembele who is currently on loan at Blackpool - We had Interest in summer and he’s got the energy we’re missing at the moment.

Sorry fellas. Are we actually signing this lad from Belgium or is it just rumours? 

It’s reported we’ve put in a bid….Looks like a credible source.

Similar to Telalovic, no real first team experience at a decent level.

We’re banking on JDT to work his magic and turn them into a championship player. 
 

We need players who can make an impact immediately, or we’ll slowly fall down the table and into league one.

He must have something about him if Anderlecht are keeping tabs.

Plays for the team currently 2nd in the Belgian third tier. Good grief.

3 goals in 18 games.

Can’t even find a reel for him…Now we’ll never know if he’s any good ffs

We’ve beaten every lower league club we’ve played this season - including one during the horrendous run we’re currently on.

Sadly I don’t share your confidence - it would be nice to go through though.

it`s a pretty bad situation at ewood but it` not  reached the point where  im`e scared of losing to a side that got beat at newport yesterday

That means absolutely nothing.

What makes you say that?

Because we’re in probably the poorest form we been in years, they’re bringing 7k and it’s the FA Cup.

What league a teams in means f all when you’re playing a team which is shipping goals for fun. 

Haven’t they sold out? Jesus the reality of more away fans than home is very likely to be the case.

Expect the strongest team we have as this will be a tough game.

What's the record fee for a League 1 or 2 player?

Again genuine question as I have absolutely no idea.

Edit: to be fair it appears to be Fabian Delph.

9.5m Euros. More than I expected but not what we'd hope for.

That was nearly 15 years ago though.

How much would Adam Wharton be worth if we were relegated? Genuine question as I've absolutely no idea but I'd have thought you'd be lucky to get £3m.

That's where the "model" of not putting any pressure on results falls down.

Would it really de-value? The players talent doesn’t change so why would his value? 

So this summer ‘technically’ we should have a fair bit to spend.

 I can see Szmodics going with possibly Carter also being off-loaded.

Raya - £5m

A Wharton - £15m (minimum)

Szmodics - £5m

Carter - £4m

Any normal club would be able to get a good 6/7 decent players with that with still plenty left over.
