All loan signings go back and we have a lot of current players out of contract! We'll end up with about 6 first team players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I am sure the EFL could be sued by players as the EFL would be preventing free agents from securing employment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we can but it's a bit more of a gamble and basically limiting our choice! It's a case of who do you want out of this lot who haven't earned a new contract at their current clubs!

Bigblueowl Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Just seen we are linked with Lyle Taylor from Charlton. 29 years old though! I thought he was a young lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a case of who do you want out of this lot who haven't earned a new contract at their current clubs! Personally I would be patient. Get rid of higher earners and gel a decent blend of youth and promise. Keep a nucleus of what we have (Bannan, Iorfa, Lees, Lee and Bonner, Wildsmith and Dawson) and build around them, being sensible going forward.

Theoretically, yes, but we weren't able to conclude deals for Börner, Odubajo, or Harris until our soft embargo was lifted. Perhaps their wages exceed the 11k cap for embargoed team? Whatever the reason, we couldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Browne Jed Wallace Cosgrove (Aberdeen) Mo Eisa Marcus Maddison Sam Cosgrove would cost around £6-7m. Aberdeen don’t need to sell and they wouldn’t sell him cheaply. Given our circumstances he is completely out of our price range and he’s not worth the sort of cash they want for him anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 If we come out of this window without a new right back and a striker with a bit of pace then it’ll be a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frastheowl Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 5 hours ago, Mr Hooper said: Browne is brilliant. Would be a good signing. Wallace - not for me, very hit and miss. Cosrove - Would be risky as he's only just found his feel in Scotland, plus he's a big lump. Would need a pacey striker next to him. Eisa - Would't leave Peterborough after his last failed spell in this league Maddison - Would love him here, cocky player. While we're scouting Peterborough, drag Ivan Toney up here as well. Wallace is certainly not hit and miss. He's been a rock for Millwall over the last 12 months. Hugely influential midfielder. One of the most consistent in the division. That said, he's similar to Luongo. Maddison would be a dream. We're crying out for a No.10, and he's can play that role. He's also adept at playing on either wing, has a wicked delivery, scores a lot of goals. He's got to make the step up soon. Criminal that he's been stuck in League One for so long.

If they don't fit in or work out they go back to their parent clubs and weve lost nothing and not being lumbered with more signings like abdi and Rhodes.

Cany see them getting that much! If he is it's a great bit of business though as they paid 20k for him! Stoke are after him apparently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
