Rebel Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 I don't see how Bamford who is now struggling in the Championship solves any of our problems up front. We need a striker who has some height, pace and power to lead the line - and who can hold the ball up and make the runs of the shoulder off the defender to open up the space and give our midfield something to aim at. I am hopeful we will sign Yuri Alberto from Corinthians in early January as their season ends in early December - and that he at least gives us some of what we need up front. But we probably need more than one additional forward/attacker not too mention a winger/attacking midfielder or 2. Don't forget Wellington will join us on a free in January for the same reason - and I am hoping he solves some of our problems at left bac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the point … Not sure if this is the point, rather than outcome, but possibly to spend best part of £100m on some duds who will seriously handicap us by FFP rules when promoted gain for 2026/7 season.

Lighthouse Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Can’t really see us spending anything, January is notoriously poor value and we’re not going to sign anyone who’s going to make any difference in terms of staying up. I don’t think we’ll need to do much in summer either, we already have a massive squad of Championship players. Me might sell a couple, possibly TP, KWP or ABK. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness if we have any sense that’s exactly what we’ll do: prepare for next season’s promotion push by selling anyone we won’t be keeping or want to lose, removing as much pointless wages as possible and spending nothing. Leave us with something resembling next years squad. Oh, and have next years coach in place to give them a 6 month pre season. We all knew we’d likely be relegated this season, but 8 games in and it’s already a total write off. Let’s accept it and plan for the next one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SambaMaverick Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 We won't be doing anything apart from sell because we'll be rock bottom with 10 points at most. Can see KWP, Tall Paul, Sulemana, Bella-Kotchap, Brereton Diaz all going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 We've got a large squad. We'll be looking to move on a number of those. Who they are depends on if it's Martin in charge. If it's not, SR may balance some of the outgoings with a reinforcement or two for the new person. That will also depend if there's still a chance of staying up. But it will be mostly outbound traffic whatever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like yesterday I was getting called an idiot by quite a few people for suggesting maybe we shouldn’t ’just pay whatever it takes’ to get him in. There have been more than enough precautionary tales across various clubs in January to know to keep our powder dry. Andy Carroll has to be the most hilarious. £35m in 2011 is probably £90m in todays prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 I think we will see a few moved out and one or two come in. My guess is Paul Onuachu, Armel Bella-Kotchap, and Kamaldeen Suelmana will all be moved on. I also wouldn't be surprised if Manning goes back to the Championship if Wellington joins us in January - but he could end up at Goztepe for the rest of this season. It was never clear if he was joining them or us really. If KWP stays I can see Bree making a return to the Championship. And it looks like Edwards probably needs a loan to the Championship so he gets some game time. I can see the Ugochukwu and Cornet loans getting cancelled unless they make an impact between now and then. I'd also send BBD on loan to the Championship as well if we can. Hopefully Yuri Alberto or someone similar will be coming in for about £15M or so to help score some goals - and maybe another attacking midfield/winger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disconnect Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 If a new manager comes in, surely Wood will go out on loan. Hasn't looked anywhere near good enough, and would much rather have Edwards on the bench in case of emergencies. Problem is whether anyone will take him! If we get rid of him and ABK, that's at least two centre backs who are likely to never play either way, but taking up a decent chunk of salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty's Caddy Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Stewart is definitely not the CF we are looking for. doesn’t look to have anything about him at all.

Master Bates Posted October 31 Author Share Posted October 31 (edited) His agent (Cury) has apparently been in contact with the club and others to get him a move. Cury: “It’s not a natural move, especially since Corinthians will ask for a lot of money, they only have 50% (of the player)" There were many offers to loan him earlier this year including Wolves and Southampton came in the summer with an offer to buy but this was also rejected."*** https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Alberto From the summer: Edited October 31 by Master Bates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
