January Transfer Window.

[roverandout]

All our rivals are making serious strides in the transfer market and we're faffing about missing out on players we never had a chance with. This window will determine a. Whether we're serious about promotion and b. Whether Broughton is an upgrade.  It's going to be another damp squid I mean squib

What serious strides would those be?

All the teams around us are strengthening with players that would walk into our team. We've signed a player on a 6 month loan that isn't a huge upgrade on what we already have

Only 4 players in the championship have created more chances than Sorba Thomas in the championship this season. Of course he’s an upgrade on what we have.

Villareal's Nicholas Jackson has failed a medical at Bournemouth ahead of his £22.5m move. Although Danjuma has left Villareal on loan, I wonder if the prospect of them both being back at Villareal in summer will have an impact on Brereton Diaz going there.

I very much doubt that, he's a bright young talent with a big reputation. Absolute no-brainer! Doesn't work out then they'll probably loan him out somewhere.

Where's this Lucas Joao rumour come from? I'd be delighted to have him back.

A. We aren't, never have been or never will be 

 

B. He isn't.

It’s never been a rumour with us. It just got announced that Reading were open for letting him go.

Although it wouldn’t do any harm putting an offer for him. 4 days left and we still need a CF…He may be the best option we have at this later stage.

There seem to be some rumblings amongst Reading fans Joao might go in this window. He hasn't had the best of seasons, and I think his contract is up in summer.

I can't see it happening unless it's a loan. His wages appear to be on the high side of the scale.

Jao is just the type we need in our squad but no way are these lot paying him 15k a week to start from the bench most weeks.

Now if we could sell Gallagher and sign him i'd certainly consider it because there's more goals and assists in him i reckon.

[RoversClitheroe]

Barnsley have bid for Hamer, player that would be fantastic for us.

Yeah for me Gally has to go in summer along with a few more.

A centre back from Burton? Its not the Coventry player.

They are supposedly signing Perez from Leicester on loan till the end of the season,if they were going to make an early move for Brererton you would think it would have happened by now

Given that Thomas is under contract until 2026, and  we have a budget of 50P and a bag of Revels, we probably won’t be able to afford him, especially if he does well.

 

You have no idea on what our budget will be next season

Now a  motivated Lucas Jaoa would be a great signing at the top end of the pitch for 6 months.   Exactly what we need.  Quick, physical and unpredictable.  

Problem is he's very hot and cold.  Hot and he's nigh on unplayable at this level.  Cold and he'll just be a gangly Vale.

Why would he be starting from the bench most weeks? If he gets into even a semblance of form, he's better than anyone we have up top bar Brereton (who is distinctly out of form).

Was going to say 😂, Gustavo Hamer is a £15m premier league player in the waiting.

Sorba plays on the left wing.

when he`s on it he is a handful for anybody,when he was on loan to us in 2017  he definately was more cold than hot

Joao in the middle would torn the defences with Zorba and Brereton around him......
