January 26 transfer rumours

I think the latter is true and I don’t think they have made any secret of it

 

You think......you dont know for certain. Lots of possible scenarios and variables you are ignoring.

 

We all want the club to progress further mate
I think our league position has surpassed club expectations, certainly passed mine
So far the transfer dealings have been underwhelming, on top of two defeats to teams challenging with us and if we want to improve we have to find the finance for this
Standing still will only see us fall back again
We have been here before, it would be great for it to be different this time

 

Playing devils advocate here but you ever think that the reason GA is continuing to play Humphries up front and rushing Pointon back in is an open challenge to the board ????

 

No, he doesnt really have any choice. Swan is hit and miss and Kavanagh is shite.

 

watched the football league show and instead of the fletchers and jatta and langstaff that think are too pricey. I was thinking sensible affordability we could look at Kyle Wootton county and Jake beesley burton both scored at weekend too. Both proper number 9s

 

Always been a fan of Beesley, i think he would fit our system playing the lone striker role.

 

You would keep T Wright and Baldwin????

 

Anyone who thinks that we’re signing Oloafe on loan is surely deluded.
Stockport are quite open about the fact that they’re after him too and given that he played for that team and manager last season we won’t stand a chance.

 

I know its slightly off topic but I'd prefer Charlie Webster in a midfield 3 I can't see Stockport allowing Kyle Wootton to leave his appearances suggest he's an integral part of Challinor's team and at the moment is joint second in the League One leading scorers.

 

Burton aren’t going to let their best player go mid season when they have a chance of staying in the league. Those deals don’t happen in Jan.

 

If Rupp allows this window to pass and not even gamble on the excellent opportunity we have of promotion ( if we stop hoofing) he can fk off, If he can’t afford to make us to continue to be successful he needs to sell to someone who does

I really fear that if we just go down the cheap option and start to fall the momentum will be lost we are at risk of relegation next year - it’s happened before

 

Benn ward to Reading is what I am hearing

 

Only way that's happening is if an over value bid is made and that's simply never going to happen with any player. No problem discussing targets but we have to be realistic, crazy talk of signings like Langstaff on loan or permanently signing key players of other clubs is living in fantasy land .

 

I'm sure Burton only recently just paid £300k for him in the summer? Sure it was supposedly around that figure, something in the back if my head from summer transfer trawling.

 

One things for sure, we need to sign someone to play that 9 role, the novelty of playing a guy out of position has work very thin, hasn't worked and never looks like working.

 

Weren't some on here reckoning he was going for about £150k?

 

This will be our issue moving forward, if we want a player who's under contract we will get outbid by 99% of teams around us. When was the last time we paid a substantial fee for a player? Charlie Wyke 250k in 2017?

 

I reckon its the United lad on loan and thats it. Unless we have two shite defeats next week and a little panic happens before deadline, I just see inexperienced loanees to replace our old guard and that will get us throw to the summer and that number 9 we all crave wont be coming through those doors.

If they get play offs, they'll feel like they had a good window and a great season. If they miss out, the noise from the club will be along the lines of "it's disappointing but we weren't supposed to challenge this season anyways" and then reboot in the summer.

 

Correct. Add Benn Ward to the list with Ryan Graydon on.
