Rodwell to MLS
I can see this happening as he hasn't featured since the on field spat with mulgrew
Mowbray values unity and if someone is affecting this then they will go.
Dack and his many suitors
Burnley(ha ha ha)
Leeds
West Brom
West ham
Everton
A bit of a list,will he go?
I think he will but for a decent price
Anything under 20 million should be refused.
Raya to Leeds?
I cannot see this happening,especially as he probably be second fiddle
Of course everyone has a price.
Robin - I'd have thought an ambitious player won't be looking to another Championship team or even a PL team in danger of relegation. In other words, if Dack DOES leave, surely it would only be to a mid-table PL club.
After that, it comes down to the offer, of course. From TM's point-of-view, however, January definitely isn't the best time to be getting, say, 20 million, because it's going to be almost impossible to find four 5 million-pound players who are available at this point in the year. (Do we need that many, anyway?!)
As for Raya, I don't think Mowbray trusts Leutwiler, so I suspect there would have to be an immediate replacement.
There might be a few fringe players leaving, but I can't see TM being happy to lose any of the core group. If we get a winger in, wouldn't Craig Conway make a great recruit for a D.1 team with aspirations? I still rate him, actually, but I'm just trying to guess - as I'm sure there WILL be an unforeseen transfer or two.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if a few of the older U-23s move on, as it's getting to the point where it doesn't look as if many of them are going to make it to senior football with us. Wharton is the one that interests me. I thought he would certainly come through, but now I'm so sure.
Robin - I see what you mean about madness, and it isn't just rumours! I've just read about Bournemouth paying 19 m. for Solanke. That is a huge risk. I've been looking at his record, and you have to say there is a lot of guesswork going on by the Bournemouth management-team. This is one of those signings that could be a stroke of genius or a complete flop.
It does make 20 million-plus for Dack a bit more credible, though.
Wharton is at Lincoln and could still be a player coming into a few league starts next season.
Sorry for picking just that
Agree fully on your assessment.
Just hope any outgoings are done the first 2 weeks and not on deadline day as a lot of deals are
The last day seems to be a pantomime the deal very often is all but done however just to over egg the whole situation we will finalise it with a hour to go.
Robin - just this week I read about a PL club missing out on a transfer last year by 14 seconds. Now that is plain silly. Imagine getting caught out like that in any other line of work!Quote:

It’s just brinksmanship and is where Brexit is heading. All for the vanity of the political elite.
Well asombalonga
Boro are struggling with wages and need money to improve their squad.
They are looking for offers on a few of their star players
Rumour doing the rounds that we could be in for Brett asombalonga and no I havnt had too many shandy's
If true(very doubtful)how can we afford the wages and fee(8 mill minimum)and do we really need him?unless we view going up this season.

If we are desperately trying to get the money to bid for Reed, who is here, is fully committed and playing well for us, then I just cant see us throwing money away on an ageing player on a huge fee and huge wages, who has a questionable personality. He just doesn't fit the criteria, but we'll see I guess?
Now Charlie Austin
If I am being honest,i am Quite content with what we have
Nuttall has emerged as a good alternative to Graham,this has to be a better option to Gallagher.
Rodwell has come in and shown he is a valuable member to the team,so the need for a centre back has been shelved for now.
We have brought in Chapman,who will be fast tracked to a return to the squad possibly in a crucial April
So if it shut now I would be content with what we have.
We need to be financially sensible.
