Agree with Wharton he’s a real prospect and Blackburn not very flush but he’s one with a bright future.

I would love to see us take Grimes off Swansea, always thought he’s a top player, no doubt will run the midfield tomorrow now I’ve mentioned him.
Someone on Sky Blues Extra podcast mentioned a name I haven’t heard before, Leandro Berreiro from Mainz. Said someone at the Athletic said we were keen in the summer, only has 6 months left on contract and very highly rated. Interesting link if nothing else.

Barry Bannan is 34, he has 1 goal in 20 games this season and will be only big money, absolute zero chance of signing him. What would we pay for him? a million quid and offer him a 2 or 3 year deal? it's a no brainer to avoid Bannan.

Lad from Mainz would be a good bit of business, but id imagine we will be in a queue with a few big clubs looking a getting him.
Seems to fit what we need and an age that fits the group. Interesting name which will not be the last linked over the next few weeks.

How much £ do you think we will have to spend in January? and come the summer genuinely where do you think we will have placed in the table?

If we don’t sell O’Hare, and maybe even if we do I could see us just getting a couple of loans in. Unless we’ve got someone lined up to replace Hamer, but if nothings agreed I could see us sticking with what we’ve got. The feeling may be that this season is a gamble to get to the play offs, and we need to replace O’Hare in the summer plus Viks money might come in. Then we give it a proper go next season.
Finish 8-10, everyone moans we should have spent to get over the line.

My only concern with this approach is if we do leave it until the summer before we bring in any new faces we run the risk of our current players picking up injuries and the new signings taking a while to bed in, similar to the whole new crop this season. It's taken them all a real long time to settle in and that is expected, i hope King brings in at least 2 players this January.

Having players like Bannan is why they're where they are. Big money on someone on the decline.

Big difference here.
From the end of the last game of last season to our last game there wasn't a single player on the pitch both games. That's some serious bedding in. Bringing in a player or two mid season is a different matter.
Player injuries? Would only make a difference if this player or two were direct replacements for the injured players.
And if you're worried about a couple of new players not bedding in at the start of the season how about not bedding in on the run in?

Sem Steijn of FC Twente to me looks like he has a bit of talent. Admittedly unlikely as Twente finished 5th in the Eredivisie last year. But, 22 years old, 15 goals from 40 games in midfield for Twente, having previously scored 18 in 40 for Den Haag
Or, just blow the lot on Duk and Miovski at Aberdeen

I have zero itk knowledge, just throwing a name out there. Lewis Ferguson, ex Aberdeen currently at Binks' parent club Bolonga, midfielder, scores a few and is highly thought of out there. Probably out of our price range as just signed a new deal but just thought I'd put it out there. Feel free to slaughter my suggestion
Linked to Juve & Lazio who have been quoted in the region of €25 - €30m for him.

Looks like he knocked us back:-
And speaking to Birmingham Live, Swift discussed the summer transfer in his services, and he outlined clearly that he never wanted to leave The Hawthorns for Coventry, saying:
“To be honest it was so late in the window, I had no idea of it and when it did come about I knew it was two days left and nothing was going to get done – and even if it did I didn’t really want to leave.
“As soon as I found out I rung my agent and told him I didn’t really want to go, I wasn’t interested in leaving. I wanted to stay and had my head on staying whenever we finished the game against Swansea last season. That’s how it is in football, some things come right at the end [of the window], but for me it was a no-brainer to stay.”

Joshua Kitolano top of the wishlist for me. Plays for Sparta Rotterdam in a midfield three. Strong, aggressive and good technique and has started adding a few goals to his game.
He's the most Gus like player I've seen available in that he's comfortable sitting in midfield but also has a bit of a creative side when going forward. Right age and would have a good resale value.

He's approaching 29 , I think too old in terms of players we have been signing.
I tend to agree although every team needs an age blend … Robins has also liked such a blend

Guess he will have to convince the owner on that part.
Well we made an offer for Swift in the summer and gave Godden and McFadz new deals under Kings ownership …

Correct , although everyone we bought in was 26 and under I think.

Yep-these are the sort of signings we’ll be making-we ain’t shopping in places everyone feeds at.
We are trawling the unknown leagues for gems that few folks know about.
That’s what the genius’s at Statsbomb will provide.
It’s what Brentford and Brighton have been doing for years.

I think any material investment will be in players of an age where they can improve and be sold on again. However that doesn’t apply to every transfer.
Brighton spend big money on young talent but then add the likes of Milner, Wellbeck, Lallana ….
I think we are trying to emulate that model
