morganowl Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 surely this is a joke? why would a premier league club want to sign a striker what is fairly hopeless in front of goal? same regards the other clubs. i quite like windass and he dont get enough support up front but even for us id want him as a no3 or 4 choice striker . maybe agent talk and maybe to do with him wanting out regards situation on and off the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why Nixon tends to be the first to break transfer news, as opposed to Alex Miller for example. That’s no disrespect to Alex. Perhaps he does know things but can’t divulge because it could risk his job. National newspapers are protected like that. The local journos will get their info from the club or people related to it. Probably ask Pulis or someone at Hillsborough who’ll probably play it with a straight bat and keep tight lipped unless something is imminent and happening The national ones probably know a lot of agents or other hangers on who are more likely to blab because it’s in their interest to generate interest in a player as they make money from movement. That can work both ways though.. more likely to get access to rumours but also more likely to get fed duds just to get a players name out there even if there’s nothing concrete behind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the times I imagine it’s the agent trying to get the players name out there to try and get a move. This could be the case with Windass.

I don’t think he’s really a striker. More of an attacking midfielder who can play as a number 10. He is versatile and that’s something Big Sam likes. Agree it seems a bit odd if he is on West Brom’s radar but can see other Championship clubs would want him. I would want to keep him and have him linking up play between midfield and a target man and creating space for others with his work rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Apolon Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I can see maybe, at a push, Bournemouth requiring his services but Watford and West Brom? They both have a fair amount of forward players and all 3 are under covid strains too financially (albeit not as in a mess as us) why would they carry a 5th/6th striker? I mean we did but look where that got us! I'm not here to question journalists, that's their profession, just offer an opinion on what has been reported. Just hope theres nothing in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just messaged my mate who’s missus works with his mum who he still lives with in Bradford.. see if he’s heard anything about him moving.

owlsite Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Perhaps if we let big Sam get Windass, he might be more amenable to giving us a decent loan player or two to fit with the way TP will play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 It's difficult to rate him playing in this team, with the negative tactics we've employed. When people say he's the best striker we have - they should say he's the only striker we have. When people say we're skint, why does DC refuse to let £30k/week Rhodes leave, when he's had the chances, and yet none of his managers have played him regularly. Nothing adds up to me - I just don't buy the we're done for and DC's looking to get out etc. It just doesn't add at all. It wouldn't surprise me that we end up spending big in January; stay up and re-build the team in the Summer. This could be the moment it started to happen. Although of course I may be just going stir crazy watching too many 80s films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's wait and see what transpires. Be careful, we don't do common sense on here. Any speculative story means you have to hate DC for letting it "happen"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
