I think it's a really bad look if we sell him this month - looks exceptionally desperate. However would he fetch THAT much more in summer?

Presumably Merce's "forward" was Jorgensen then?

Delighted if we're spending E3.5m on a striker, that's obviously the position of most pressing need. Less sure about the need for the other guy but in any event will be waiting until they're confirmed before popping the champagne corks given our previous track record

Well - one reportedly at Brockhall, linked with one other.

Better give the fax machine a service............ Would they both be permanent or loans with options that will never be activated? Even that would be better than nothing IF they came in and got us through the rest of the season.

Right winger?

Only potentially a great signing if permanent.

2 strikers. Any indication whether this guy is permanent or loan?

Imo we need people who can improve the first X1 before we worry about back up. If he can do a decent job at LWB might be OK I suppose.

After his loan with us is finished?

If he's a RWB, why is it a good signing when Alebiosu plays there? Seems completely pointless.

Had a quick scan through the boycott thread on there and one or two freely admit they hate the owners but seem to be of the view that at least they cover the bills and no-one else would ever consider buying us.

He's serving a short ban according to one of the mods last night.

I've probably missed one or two out but: Rothwell, Nyambe, Lenihan, Brereton, Dolan, Travis, Hyam, Batth, Weimann, Brittain. Probably soon to be followed by Cantwell, Toth, Alebiosu, Tronstad and even bloody Ryan Hedges. How unlucky are we? Fifteen out of fifteen allegedly greedy bastards and not one of them the Club's fault!

Chaddy will be gutted.

So to summarise: Hedges - No formal offer issued Tronstad - "unlikely" Montgomery - 2025 offer unsigned Toth - His representatives talking about him moving in summer Cantwell - can't agree on finances Alebiosu - no talks yet taken place Not sure how Jackson has spun such a lengthy puff piece out of absolutely nothing. He's doing some serious brown nosing today.

Great point. Obviously not. (At any normal Club anyway)

And arguably that couple of hundred k (wouldn't be surprised if it was quite a bit more) didnt even need to be spent given Pratt had come in and done so well. The agents brokering the Cashin deal will have been happy though.

Still can't see what Pratt's done wrong. Great advertisement for potential Academy recruits, come in, play out of your skin, then get promptly jettisoned because another Club wants one of their players to get some game time.

Yes some of the under reporting of the Crowds for bigger games back in the day was quite ludicrous - presumably to save on tax. I've often wondered how that works these days the other way round. ST monies are already banked so there's no harm done from a tax perspective in massaging the figures upwards to make them look more respectable, but some of the over-reporting recently looks way in excess of numbers of missing ST holders. But surely no-one would make themselves potentially liable for tax they shouldnt be paying!

The £3m banked for Hyam at the last minute in the summer seems to have well and truly vanished into the ether. They couldn't have been relying on a deal for him going through that late in the window so as such any monies received must have been (from their point of view) a completely unexpected bonus. Yet no sign whatsoever of it this window. And willing stooge Ismael happily went along with it.

Recruitment team must have set the filters on their search as " Find another forward player with first name Ryan, surname beginning with "H" who is currently injured". On a serious note as with Baradji it's taking the Moneyball approach to new levels to sign players who are going to be unfit for the majority of the time you need them in a time sensitive situation. I thought the idea was to get value for money out of players whose careers might have stalled due to something like injury but who were now fit. Not ones currently injured.

You get a new low with this mob every single week now. How do "hopes" someone MIGHT be back before the end of the season take pressure off us in the transfer market? Even by their reckoning on the best case scenario it's going to be "Six to eight weeks" plus " the next few weeks" then after assessment he MAY be able to return to training. So say on an extremely optimistic slant he's match fit in 3 months - that takes us to mid April. If he was match fit by 11th of April he'd only be available for the last 5 games, if by the 18th the last 4 games. We could be all but down by then. And that's assuming someone who's had his leg in a cast//immobile for months is ready to waltz straight back into action almost immediately after resuming training. Plus, he's probably leaving at the end of the season anyway. The LT should be ashamed at themselves for writing such bilge. Although Im not surprised as they're probably trying desperately to worm their way back into the Club's good books.

Tbf - think that was an old story that was dug up for illustrative purposes and hopefully his wages will put paid to any move.

No - one seems to mind anyone else posting BS at this time of year. In fact we're frequently urged not to frighten them away!
