BHA January transfer watch

[JonnyComeEarly]

Just passing on info so take it or leave it. We had a transfer target at the club yesterday and they were back again today. I was not told a name but I got the impression it was someone reasonably well known. They have not signed but might do imminently. I might get told who it was if it all comes to nothing. Otherwise we will all find out at approximately the same time.

This post made me smile inside

Not just Bobby. Calde's only contracted until the end of the season, and I think maybe Bruno too.

I'd be surprised if any of them get another year tbh, that's not saying they're no good, they have all been superb players for us, but we really need to start looking at players that can give us a good few years.

According to BBC Sport Wolves have asked Cardiff about Mason and been told the price will be in excess of £5m

This is why we aren't rushing into signing a striker. That is totally mental for a player that is pretty average in the Championship.

Things will pick up towards the end of next week, so loads of rumours to come yet and probably all way off the mark

At the club as in the training ground? Can find out if true if that's the case....?

Gary Hooper signing for Wednesday on a permanent.
They say they're not interested in Rhodes while Blackburn have signed two strikers.
Rhodes to Albion it is then

Not surprised they can't afford both Hooper and Rhodes.

Rhodes to QPR ?

 

[Mackenzie]

Do we really need to sign this superstar striker? We were muddling along quite nicely without him before injuries hit the squad.

QPR have bought Conor Washington from Peterboro for £2.5 m and only sold Austin for £4.0m so cant see them lashing out silly money for Rhodes

Actually we weren't "muddling along nicely". Winning games by no more than a one goal margin and drawing far too many was never going to keep us at the top of the table all season.

Didn't Andy Naylor say we have a possible transfer lined up near the end of the window. It all depends on the selling club getting a replacement. This indicates an affordable player (not a big name: we might never have heard of him!?) from a lower division or Scottish club, much like the Baldock signing when Bristol City got in Agarde as a replacement.

I would expect the player to be under 25. I don't think it will be a striker. A left-sided wing-back/midfielder or even a left-sided defender would fill the gap from the departure of Orlandi and Forster-Caskey.

Maybe not, with our ageing players even a 30 yo would be a youngster for our defence. One with PL experience would be a boon if we got promoted.

I think we will make the play-offs (given reasonable luck with injuries) and I think we would need an extra midfielder cause one more injury would rock the boat like it did in 2013-14 play-offs.

I know we have had scouts watching a striker called Greg Stewart who plays for Dundee. I would be very unimpressed if he were to be the only striker coming in.

I like your avatar and wouldn't mind one as a bumper sticker.

Barber cautiously stated 1, or maybe 2, more POSSIBLE INs in his interview on seagulls player ( After the Knockaert transfer ).

really looking forward to seeing Knockaert tommorow

Me too. Knocky terrorizing the full back on one side, Kaz on the other. (though doubt LuaLua will start tomorrow). Exciting times!

All we need now is someone to convert the chances that they will undoubtadly create.

All we need now is someone to convert the chances that they will undoubtedly create.

Tomer is the man for that job.
