The likes of Green, Pickering, and Adebayo for next season and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham City have reportedly made a move for Norwich City striker Josip Drmic as Aitor Karanka scrambles to add to his attacking ranks. wonder if they’d like Rhodes??? Drmic has been awful at Norwich. Can’t see Karanka & Rhodes collaborating again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Think we’ll struggle to see any incomers, Could have been different if QPR had took Rhodes, but as it stands I think we’ll struggle for anything other than frees or a young loan from prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jude Bellingham was always going leave Birmingham but he wouldn’t leave until he signed a contract with Birmingham effectively ensuring Birmingham received a full transfer fee. Let’s hope that Shaw, if he is to leave, does the same thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope that Shaw, if he is to leave, does the same thing. Yes, he had the chance to do a Hirst but insisted the club got a fair deal that saved them. That’s why they held him in such high standing after he left. Very classy and practically unheard of in these times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I’d like us to really push this Pickering deal through. If we are trying to borrow a striker, that may go to the wire, but I don’t think we should be trying to play hard ball with Crewe He is such a good fit for us, and as Howson says, Crewe don’t really need to sell If he really is the best young defender outside of the championship, £600,000 is, I would think, a reasonable fee. When league one players can go for a few million, let’s not squabble about the price 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d heard £1.5m , still reasonable for the player he looks like been Like I said I think we’ll struggle without moving a Rhodes/Reach on, but hopeful of something positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d heard £1.5m , still reasonable for the player he looks like been Like I said I think we’ll struggle without moving a Rhodes/Reach on, but hopeful of something positive David Artell, Crewe's manager, said a few weeks back, that the fees they'd be looking to get for their players have dropped enourmously because of the financial impact of COVID. I'd seen somewhere, can't remember where, that it was around the £400k mark. Can't imagine it been much more than the £600k figure. However, £400-600k really is a no brainer for a young, modern day full back, with technical abilities to play beyond this level. . Apparently, the price is known, but nobody has matched it as yet. If we want him, pay the fair price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's make perfect sense to invest that into a player that'll develop with us, play for us for more than a few months, and potentially sell on at a later date. If we cannot afford £600k for Pickering...then I cannot see us bringing anybody in. Which might end up been true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
