January Transfers & Rumours

[SmiffyPie]

If there is a clause then it's quite possible that it could be triggered this coming close season. With 18 goals in the EFL so far this season he has shown he has ability beyong the NL. That, along with his contributions from deeper positions, must be making teams sit up and watch.

I think we have already accepted the fact we are not going to go up this season, Thats why any new incomings will be loan players just to bolster the squad.
We will wait until the season ends before rebuilding a squad good enough to challenge for automatic next season..

I don’t think anyone has accepted that fact apart from you and a handful of other irrational fans.
January is considerably harder to bring quality players in and also get value for money.
It’s no lack of ambition to be delving into the loan market. Many teams win promotion with a handful of loan players.

I see things as they are, and not thru tinted glasses.. Plus we are not ready to go up...

Not helped by Warnock telling Sky that he sees Macca in the Championship and easily being good enough.
At the end of the day, we all know this is the model. Take a rough diamond, develop and sell. Use the funds to improve squad. Brentford and to a lesser extent Peterborough have shown the way with this and it’s worked. WHEN rather than IF Macca leaves, the meltdown on here will be nuts. The club will be accused of no ambition. We won’t get promoted if we sell our assets. Some folk will turn on the owners. Despite the fact it’s well documented this is how the club is looking to progress.

Yea, I remember the progress following the sale for big profits of Hateley and Astle, clearly two players who made it in the top flight despite coming from 4th/3rd tier backgrounds.

ok, so these owners are different. We need to get up a level soon and show we can get up one more still to keep the likes of Macca, Jodi, Cowley.

The only players available in January are the ones that are surplus to requirements...

...to the other club but might possibly be exactly what we're looking for.

Surplus Championship are probably just what we need?
