The January Transfer Window

[Bigtomfu]

I'm surprised if he's on a big wage at Barnsley having come from League 1.

This article suggests he quadrupled his wage and is now on £18k a week. Probably very near the top end of our budgetary constraints. *


*yes I know it's the current bun

Blimey. There's also the question of why Barnsley would sell him. He's hardly let them down has he.

His conviction has been quashed and therefore he is free to ply his trade wherever will have him BUT I wouldn't like us to sign him because of the questionable morality about his actions.

And it wasn't an 'attack' on BG for the reason you're thinking, more from a that's a stupid suggestion from a pure footballing ability perspective.

Fair enough. The posts I was referring to in my first response were definitely having a go at BG for even thinking to ask the question, even if your's wasn't intended that way. FWIW, I wouldn't vote for him coming to the Albion either.

For Barnsley to survive at this level, given their commercial income and crowd sizes, is a big ask. They can't blithely bat away offers in the way Bloom can, for players reaching the end of their contracts. Winnall can walk for nothing in a few months time (as can their other good player Hourinhane) and they just can't afford to allow that to happen. If Wednesday have offered £2m or so and the player wants to go, they'll take it.

I didn't know his contract was up, and the Sun were reporting £500k. £2m end of contract is a different matter.

One paper quoted £500k and another £2.5m

The truth is probably somewhere in between.

I can't believe it was as low as £500k - if he was available at that then other clubs would have jumped in.

My question on Ched Evans was based on the fact that he was a good goalscorer pre conviction and says he is hoping to get back into the Wales squad and at 28 years old it should be within the next 2years or probably not at all.

People thought Harold Shipman was a good doctor, pre conviction.

 

[BensGrandad]

why are we always so slow in making signings during a transfer window?

We do not need a doctor but a goalscorer would be expensive.

Your the one with all the answers you tell us?

I think quite a few of us (including myself) thought a deal was all but done and dusted for our number 1 target- less the announcement at the beginning of January. Still plenty of time, but agree, frustrating.

Cleverly going to Watford, stays in the Prem

Surely some mistake ? He's British

Like last January when we'd already signed Knockaert before the window officially opened, you mean?

Yes, it is frustrating when other clubs seemingly are quicker when we are all waiting for that elusive back-up striker, but TB is a good poker player and knows that as the transfer window drags on, a player and his agent may have to compromise on what might be exhorbitant demands. It is afterall his money and quite understandably he wants to keep the losses to a mininum. Having said that . .hurry up tony!

 

[BensGrandad]

I have no idea hence the question as we always seem to sign somebody very near the close of the window never early on.

As usual you are picking isolated happenings to give as an example of the general rule.

 

[Triggaaar]

Well why do you think? Obviously they are trying, so presumably it's because we're after players who are in demand, and they/their clubs like holding out for the best deal. If we could do it quicker, obviously we would.

Well looks like we have at least got one signing close to the line... . Norwegian youth international striker Abdul-Basit Agouda from Stromgodset. At the training centre to discuss terms this week after a fee agreed. 9 goals in 17 games at u-16 level including a couple of hat-tricks. Hopefully better injury record than Hambo.

U23 striker? Poor lad, shame for his career to tail off so early. Perhaps he could do a degree whilst here to prepare himself for life after the Albion?
