Surely Wednesday can make some available on the day? They need the money and will be aware that they could sell another couple of hundred potentially.

I spotted someone had mentioned it but couldn’t remember who it was. Did they sign a new striker as he seemed to get regular minutes at the start of the season and scored a couple of goals, then he was restricted to 20 mins or less each game. He’s recently had a bit more game time again and scored a few more goals. Just made me wonder if they signed another forward who had gone to AFCON or got injured.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if we revisited previous deals. Sambou Soumano was linked last year but they wanted £5m and we were offering £2m. Maybe that deal becomes more attractive to them as he’s out of contract in the summer.

Agreed Mark. We clearly won’t spend the money on wages for experienced players for the league hence why I’ve thrown a few left field calls in the mix. I’ve based it on markets we’ve looked at previously. The only thing with the couple I’ve mentioned is that they aren’t out of contract in the summer. I think that’s probably something we’d be throwing in the mix as well ideally.

Alibiousu seems to have also ended up at Korjvijk from a prem team so will possibly know Ambrose. It’s been a good move for him so maybe he puts a word in. wonder if Gueye fancies a move back to Belgium? A swap deal could be of interest. Korjvijk are looking good for promotion so Gueye could be sold another go at the Belgian top flight. Surely he’d score enough goals to get them promoted….. wouldn’t he 😄

Based on your last sentence and also our seeming love of revisiting the same old clubs for our transfers I wonder if we’d go back to Kortrijk. It’s where we got De Neve and I’m sure another player from after they were relegated to Belgian Div 2. They have a player called Thierry Ambrose who has 10 goals and 9 assists in 17 games. Started out at Man City but didn’t make an appearance. Out of contract in 2027 so there would be a fee but he was out most of last season injured so there’s a gamble. Again, I know nothing about him but looking at clubs we’ve dealt with before. I think Kortrijk had a link to Vincent Van Tam who Gestede knows from his time at Cardiff.

Apostolos Stamatelopoulos Goes into his last year of a contract in the summer. Currently has the best goals per minute ratio in the Scottish Premiership with Motherwell. I know nothing about him at all but he’s Australian and will know Miller. Who knows if they are close but he’s scored a goal every 3 games at Motherwell but doesn’t seem to have been a regular as he’s only made 31 appearances over the last season and a half. Hes scoring a goal every 141 minutes at the moment. Any of our Scottish football followers know anything about him at all. We probably need to be thinking of players a little out of left field.

So you’re not bothered about what Hull did but you can spend an entire transfer thread talking about what Birmingham have done in terms of signing Kyogo?? The fact that Hull moved him out from the centre could well be down to the reasons we are seeing, that he’s not the strongest in the air. That’s not to say he can’t do a job in a back three but that being the main man in that back three isn’t perfect for him. It does feel that you have a free pass to say anything on here and the moment anyone else says something different you jump all over it. Personally think Dykes would be a poor option but that’s basically because I’ve never ever rated him. There must be better options out there. Ideally younger and more mobile. It’s a bad time of year to make key signings, the January window is never easy.

How is Liam Cooper able to play? Ismael said it was pointless looking at the out of contract players for a CB as they would take months to be able to play.

Is it just the 7 points? I can think of 7 points from 4 goals. 2 v Birmingham 3 points 1 v Wrexham 2 points 1 v Ipswich 2 points.

As the clock ticked 90 I was so tempted to put £10 on the draw after we’ve conceded so many late goals. Tbf we would have probably conceded late against 10 men in the original game

He’s been able to walk past Tavares like he’s not even there! Awful player for us

Tavares on seems a very strange move. He’s been awful for us so far.

Just read Carl’s post and had to comment to let him know that my thoughts are with his family in what must be the most horrific of times.

Miller lucky not to give away a pen. We’d have been screaming for that all day at the other end
