JANUARY TRANSFER WINDOW

[Garage Flower]

Austin according to someone covering the South of Talksport this morning is on 70K a week, Southampton prefer to do a perm transfer to get him off wage bill, then keep him as an option before loaning out. Take from that what you will. Cardiff, Us, Forrest and someone else I can’t remember in Championship interested. I can’t see it personally.

Did Gallagher get off the bench last night?

Leon Clarke Sheff Utd to Wigan, good signing for them, should score enough goals to keep them up.

Boro have just said, no offers whatsoever for Assomabalonga.

Hopefully just a smoke screen for them to try get more offers in

[tomphil]

Although we need a striker we aren't in a bad position at the min as long as there are no outgoings so they can leave things till the very last min in the hope of getting a decent deal.  Miss out and yes disappointed but for once it's not the end of the world as the team will manage unlike some previous windows.

Adalberto Penaranda Maestre worth a late move on a loan deal from Watford. Can play up front or wide and doubt his wages are daft as he's only 21.

Love a good smoke screen me! Need to slow down on the caffeine intake.

Probably because they want full wages paid for any loan deal. Not really a good deal for anyone except Boro who get a player they are not using enough completely paid for for the rest of the season while his value will enhanced should he do well.

That's as far left field as you can get!!

Wow! Couldn't find a relevant thread so i'll whack it in here...

Since leaving Rovers 3 and a half years ago Gestede has started just 37 games! Not even enough for a full championship season.

I bloody hate all these loans, it's madness. What happened to the good old fashioned transfer? Pay the bloody money and start a merry go round. Chelsea have signed a striker on loan with "the option to make it permanent for 40m quid". The option? Crazy.

Yup loans are all financial these days whether in terms of loan fees or money off the books. In the good old days a loan was to send a kid out for free to get some experience.

This is an example, a million quid to loan a PL full back.

• Aston Villa lead the race to sign Tyrone Mings on loan but Bournemouth will seek a £1m fee.

Just been reading that myself. Looks like Millwall for him. I would have him back.

Fair enough. Absolute no go for me.

[JacknOry]

Seems everybody is after a striker. Below is according to the Mirror:

John Marquis is the subject of a three-way battle between Wigan, Sunderland and Hull

Bolasie going to Boro as well according to Twitter...

I disagree. We haven't got anything like adequate cover for Graham who will not play 90 mins every game and will sometimes need to miss a game.

That's if we are serious about the play-offs of course.

Think the playoffs are seen as a bonus this year.

[Neal]

I think we've put all of our eggs in one basket with Gally. 

 

Watch out for Palace signing someone, I recon the Connor Wickham link will pop up again.

I’d be very happy with Marquis, but this stuff rarely comes out of nowhere.

Marquis is my dream boy! ?

I think, you, me and ChrisPrice'sBaldspot have been banging that drum for a long time!

[JacknOry]

Giles Barnes anyone?
