Well he signed Sanderson for Birmingham for Cash after working with him at Qpr and  then on loan at Birmingham 

He then made him captain at Birmingham 

As a most likely fourth choice centre back what where you expecting?As others have said him being part of a team that got relegated doesn't mean he is a bad player..Szmodic ...Brittain 

We need first choice players brought in up front I'd be underwhelmed with Bamford and Wallace, I don't think Wallace is a bad player but we need some speed in forward areas,Sanderson as a 4th choice centre back even 3rd isn't a bad signing 

Well argued. You'd have thought if Eustace rated him that highly he'd have been looking to bring him in permanently.

Forshaw?

[Fraserkirky]

Jed Wallace is a VERY good footballer but he is not what we are needing right now. We have Weimann who is of a very similar ilk.

A huge YES from me on BBD, you’d have to think he feels slightly bad about leaving us on a free, and when you look at the other clubs interested, if it’s game time he needs, he will start every game for us.

Need Pace badly if that’s a PL loan then so be it. 

I’d take Schlupp and Brereton Diaz. I think gives us the shot in the arm we need.

I doubt he has brought him in to be 4th choice. I imagine he's been told to get up to speed, wait for a chance and then fight for his place.

He'll have to be quick.

[Cherry Blue]

Diaz has history. If he thinks the grass is greener elsewhere he won't give the needed commitment.

Agreed. Don't think we'll get either.

Hope to be proved wrong.

Where has this BBD rumour come from? No way we will cover his entire wages, so even if this weird (untrue?) rumour had any legs we'd already be told to fuck off by his parent club.

[M_B]

Always liked Wallace, adapting a well used phrase on here, I'll go and pick him up and drive him here myself.

[Roverthechimp]

Theoretical: would anyone pay ALL of BBDs current salary for a loan? 

(I’m guessing that is what will be required and would probably be 25-30k a week)

Eustace might want to bring him permanently but either Rovers or Brum (or both) weren’t willing to do that.

Estimate on the Internet is 35k.

What's that about £500k until the end of the season?

Chump change compared to the benefits from getting promoted.

I personally don't think he could care less about that, and I dont blame him.

Happy with Sanderson, underwhelmed by Forshaw. Jed Wallace and a striker (not Andre Gray) would do for me now. Maybe Schlupp as well 

I heard about Wallace on Friday, but was told to keep quiet. Expect it done before the end of the window. Eustace wants Bamford. Swag favours BBD in hope of increasing ticket sales for the return of the messiah 😂

Ah right. Well fair enough then, but in my opinion Sky Sports have become shite for transfer news so I still reckon there's no interest unfortunately.

Blimey..........

I can't bring myself to say I agree with Waggott over Eustace.

Oh here we go. An anonymous forum you ‘allegedly’ hear information but were told ‘say nothing to anybody mate’ 

why are there so many of these accounts about in the summer and Jan truly irks me 

Well wait and see what happens. I posted that yesterday morning and the news broke last night/this morning. If I get told to keep it quiet I will, if I get told I'm free to talk then I will

So you want to pay a guy that shafted the club out of £7m+ by leaving on a free another £500k? The same bloke that downed tools for 6 months not wanting to get injured for his new employer?

I mean I know we're desperate, but have some pride.

Maybe he wanted him but if Birmingham didn't want to sell last summer and given Eustace and Sanderson know each very well. Signing him now is a no brainier

We don't know what the Club were offering him to stay - probably not very much - and I didn't think he downed tools any more or less than anyone else in that season's version of the 2nd half death spiral.

I don't bear any ill will towards him at all.
