[Archived] The January 2018 transfer thread

[joey_big_nose]

Controversial comment... Everything about Rhodes' career post rovers shows his critics to be right. He's a modest championship player in every regard apart from his finishing.

Oztumer scored a hatrick today for Walsall and has impressed me with his performances and goal return the last 2 seasons. He's tiny in stature but has unbelievable technical ability and is on a free transfer in summer. Well worth a look at whatever division we are in next year.

He's a number 10 though, we have a better one there already.

[robbojohnno]

When Payne goes back from loan we will need another option. If he can't get in the team we can always sell him for a tidy profit.

[Tom]

I was disappointed when we didn't sign Otzumer but I can't imagine he would have done more than Dack has done.

He'd be great as another option but can't imagine he'd be keen on that 

[roversfan99]

You'd never be able to effectively have them on the pitch at the same time so it wouldnt make sense.

Random one but Notts County are being linked in Sunday papers with Diego Capel, for 10k a week plus 5k per game played.

Quick, former Spanish international left footed winger and only 30 apparently, surely we could attract him here, he would be an amazing signing.

Who’s his agent?

Sound like when we signed Pedro as Duff's replacement. I''d wager he is looking for a payout.

Surely if he was worth a go, better clubs than Notts County would be involved?

He was non-existent when he came to Ewood, but he is obviously a talented lad. Be interesting to see if he could step up into the Championship.

Not sure we can accommodate anymore small players. We are a very small team now, so adding a fully fledged midget is going to make that worse

Can we not be the Barcelona of the Championship next year ?

How much is Dack worth lads? Imagine him in a really strong dominant team. I reckon he will go for 15 million at some point , if not more..

He has a nasty battling streak combined with a savage football brain. We have ourselves a real talent.

Dominant enough to be top of the league?

We aren't that dominant though. We are always scrapping. His 2 pieces of quality today show that he is a talent 

[FGS5635]

How many dominant teams are there. English football is competitive at all levels really.

I'd say 1 loss in 30ish games is pretty dominant however you slice it

Agreed, think its 1 loss in 25, but 5 more points and 8 more goals than anyone else suggests a certain degree of dominance.

Problem is if we don't go up I can see him leaving for £3m or so

Good job we are going up then

EVERTON’S young striker Bassala Sambou is wanted by Tony Mowbray at Blackburn.

The German-born 20-year-old, could join Rovers in the summer and will, hopefully, enjoy Championship football at Ewood.

Powerful Sambou played for Mowbray at Coventry when he was a kid before moving to Goodison.

He could switch on loan or even for cash.

Blackburn sent a delegation last week to watch the player, who seems unlikely to figure in Everton’s Premier League plans for next season.

Thank you Alan.

Watching Ox v Scuny

Lad called Adelakun looks a good player, out of contract end of the season. 21 y/o and won young player of the month in December. Textbook Rovers signing.

[Oldgregg86]

He's still raw but brimming with potential. I prefer the Holmes lad on the other side. Ivan toney has held the ball up well. Possible replacement for an aging Danny graham ?

Hard to tell with players at this level. That Adelakun lad i can imagine being frustrating too. Moments of brilliance but can pass him by... In a better team perhaps..
