January Transfer Window Thread 2020

[southendkid]

How about Ryan Leonard on loan.....don't think he is currently getting much game time at Millwall at the moment.

He isn't getting game time because he has a knee injury, he was a regular starter for them before that happened so I can't see him being available for loan.

I doubt there is much chance Chelsea would let him come to us, but if we could get Marc Guehi
19 Y/O centre half I'd be very happy.

Why?

Is Ted Smith still at Spurs ?
Better than the 2 playing currently.

As far as I am aware, Ted is still without a club and has been training with us - certainly he was at the Junior Blues Meet the Players day last month.

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Why?

Pretty good at this level on Football Manager to be fair.

I’d much rather Sol was looking at league 2 or even non league players who are up for the battle and have something to prove .. than loan players .. especially from Arsenal. Even their first team don’t appear to have any fight!
I’m sure he knows what he needs by now..

OK, let's chuck a name in:

Matt Macey - Arsenal 3rd / 4th choice Keeper

6' 7"
25 years old

could be a good shout with Sol's gooner connections

Jack Roles, on loan to Cambridge from Spurs, team mate of Demetrious

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49406381

won player of the month for the division in January. would look good in L1 I'd imagine

 

[Floval Flyer]

This lot are Free Agents (as far as i'm aware):

Martin Olsen - Left Back - last club: Swansea
Tommy Hoban - Centre Back - Last Club: Watford
Jack Rodwell - Defensive Midfielder - Last Club: Blackburn
Grant Ward - Central Midfielder - Last club: Ipswich
Ben Marshall - Winger - Last Club: Norwich
Isaac Buckley-Rickets - Winger - Last club: P'Boro

Isaac Buckley-Rickets - Winger - Last club: P'Boro

I'm sure Jack Rodwell is looking for a more high profile club than us after being linked with moves to Italy and also after a lot more in wages than we could ever pay!

Also didn't we have Buckley-Rickets on trail in the summer and he didn't impress then!

We probably can’t afford to buy Cheese Rolls

It's not a completely hopeless task. There will be senior players out of favour with their clubs desperate for first team football, and going out on loan will help put them in the shop window for a summer move.

I'd expect we might have some joy with a few loans for senior players that fit that description. I'm not sure Prem clubs will be falling over themselves to lend us their talented young players, given the environment and situation.

To be honest, two competent wingers will change the picture significantly as it will allow us another system we can use. 4-4-2 has simply not been available to us this season but Sol may like to go back to basics with this lot.

Thanks for update, I wasn't aware that he was out injured. That said Millwall have started to pick up points since Rowett took over at the Den so Ryan might find it hard to get back in the team. Maybe in January a loan might be an option.

For me Goalkeeper is the paramount position. I think we should try and buy.... Adam Federici Who would you have between the sticks? .....be sensible

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

Be sensible

Buy Adam Federici

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Onions ...

Our best chance of getting a quality goalkeeper is, I'm afraid, the loan market.

(A Premier League or Championship club should relish the opportunity to give an upcoming player plenty of practice and experience.)

Butland has been dropped and Federici has been playing for Stoke, why would he want to come here???

 

[danburyshrimper]

I would buy the John Beck Cambridge United highlights 1990 dvd , give it to Sol and tell him to teach his players how to kick a ball further than 5 yards

I was unaware that Butland had been dropped, that's scuppered my plans.

Not much point unless you get a free Dion Dublin with every copy.
