Ricky Posted December 1, 2024 Posted December 1, 2024 Just now, Ricky said: Do you think we’d look at bringing in Louie Barry? There’s talk of his loan being ended at Stockport early and him going on loan to a championship club. We had a loan from Villa last year so we possibly have a relationship with them. Aaaaand…. I didn’t see your last post when I quoted your earlier one lol. Quote

Granted that many of those appearances were as sub and he is still a teenager Edited December 1, 2024 by KentExile Quote
Wing Wizard Windy Miller Posted December 1, 2024 Posted December 1, 2024 Still looking in the bargain bins. Not much in there. 2 Quote

There’s talk of his loan being ended at Stockport early and him going on loan to a championship club. We had a loan from Villa last year so we possibly have a relationship with them. To be honest, I don't know enough about the player and whether he is ready for Championship football. Other Championship teams are interested so they think he is. 13 goals this season suggest it's someone we should be looking at. I feel we need a striker, winger and centre back in January but who we should sign I honestly don't know Edited December 1, 2024 by chaddyrovers Quote
roversfan99 Posted December 1, 2024 Posted December 1, 2024 I doubt we will have any money in January so it will be difficult to strengthen. Eustace wants a striker, he said as such recently. Gestede signed a donkey last time he tried to address that, but would we be willing and able to try and move Gueye on, would our main summer signing just become 3rd choice if not, and would Gestede be able to sign anyone with any use with potentially less money than he signed Gueye with?

Didn't the transfer committee approval us signing Gueye? Surely we do what is best for team not Gestede? Quote

Just bring him on after the game has finished to lead the celebrations...and, maybe, claim a goal, scored by someone else! Quote

I would play Gueye in the U21s to see how he does at that level. If he merits a first team squad place then fine. If he doesn't get rid in the summer. There isn't a team in the world where every signing is a success. But the more successful clubs react quickly, and don't persevere with a lost cause. 2 Quote

But personally yes, I'd see if he can start scoring goals and regain confidence in the U21s, and if he struggles there too he needs to go in the bin. Quote

I don't think Gueye will be here past next summer. Absolute shocker. Quote

Presumably it would only be a loan and it would be reliant on Southampton paying nearly all his wages though. The fan I spoke to had no info it was going to happen, or even being considered, just that the fans there don't rate Brereton and want rid ..... Quote

Wharton found him numerous times in a way that I think Cantwell would do. Not sure I can see it happening, but it would be one that would make sense. Problem was 9 out of 10 times Brereron would be offside. He was good during his purple patch bang average to poor out if it. Edited December 2, 2024 by USABlue 1 Quote

We can't have another jdt situation They will support Eustace, making his game day team selection easier by getting rid of some of our quality players and not replacing with like or better.

It's OK, I know it was only theoretical and even if the player and Eustace were interested I can't see Waggott/Pasha/Venky's being ambitious enough to go for it. If we're looking at a lad from Dundalk with a scoring record of 3 from 30 we're obviously scavenging right at the very bottom of the bargain bin. Quote

sharpysharps86 Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 Highly unlikely (near on impossible even) but ideally we would be bringing in a striker, winger and a centre half to cover for Batth and Hyam while Carter and Wharton remain injured. I think we'll be lucky to bring one of those positions in. Quote
MarkBRFC Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 Still got two loan spots left for the matchday squad, I imagine we will fill those but who knows with what kind of quality. Quote
