January transfer window

[Polish_Blues]

We have in Innes, he should be back this month, a tall & strong centre half!

I don't want Jay Simpson here, I don't think we need him.

I agree - for reasons that I can't quite put my finger on. I just have a bad feeling about it ............ perhaps it is the Mooney effect. :moon:

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Wouldn't want Jay Simpson here either. Sounds to me as though he could be a player to upset the harmony in the dressing room.

Just seen the below on twitter, start of the transfer merry go round rumours again. Probably nonsense looking at the fee


John Akinde is rumoured to have many league 1 clubs chasing his signature including Southend and Shrewsbury. Fee of 350k #STFC #SUFC #Barnet

From that well known guy, Darrell Underwood. Who claims to be ITK. He's not.

Centre back cover
Pacy forward

Innis fit the bill ?

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Innis fitted up by the old bill?

He (Inniss) still got off though didn't he?

No I couldn't .............. really I couldn't.

Although on paper we are well positioned with strikers, i get worried about Ranger and injuries ,reading how it appears he was feeling discomfort again versus Swindon,a fit Ranger would be enormous for us ,but i fear it may take time for that to happen and we need to be patient with him,so hopefully we can procure another decent striker in the January transfer window, a goalscoring one.We cannot just rely on Cox, Fortune is the foil for Cox,thats unless Mooney when fit again can find his goalscoring touch from a few seasons back.Too many missed chances at the present.

Jason williams on his way out to boreham wood on loan, about time:thumbsup:

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

For me all we need in January is a striker on loan to cover for when Ranger is injured. Ideally a youngster from a Premier League/Championship club as Fortune, Cox and Mooney are all over 30. Don't want Jay Simpson, he's only scored once or twice this season and doesn't seem like the sort of character we want, especially with the team spirit so good at the moment. Otherwise I don't expect much activity - if it ain't broke etc.

Wood are mid table in this very tough division...reckon good move for JW if given time.

 

[undercovershrimper]

That move would see him alongside fellow ex blue Conor Clifford

Cox is 29....

Reported on BBC that Everton are close to a £12m move for Charltons Lookman. They have also hit a form streak and it shows how tough it is in this league when you are up against clubs like Charlton." Sheff Utds budget is probably more than 3 times more than us and Charltons is already larger than theirs " ( Kelvin Thomas- Oxford Manager ). That size of fee would push them into the play offs if used wisely.
Also goes to show the value of producing great youngsters. Bring on the Bentley cash

I fear the Bentley situation won't be resolved unti Feb! Seems ridiculous to take so long and precludes us spending any money in the transfer window(Ron allowing)!

Hmmm...not sure. Transfer fees are often paid in installments, so maybe we could buy (and I'm making the names up here) Charlie Smith for £100,000, payable in 10 x£10,000 payments, in the same way we might get 10 x £70,000 payments for Bentley.
So it's a flow of cash rather that lump sums.

Did that make sense?

Appears to have gone into Yorkshire mode.
