What needs to happen in Jan window (9 Viewers)

This is what Hamer said 2 days after Sheff Utd move, to my daughter directly (quote) I was waiting to sign contract Doug said had been arranged, then he rang me to say they had agreed a fee with Sheff Utd, and i was to travel to see them, so it was Doug that decided . that was the quote from his mouth.

So it was all about the money, fucking DK, no better than Seppala

Hes not spent a penny of his own money so far

 

[Matt smith]

He has to spend on a quality midfielder in January, maybe two

I’m confident we’ll spend another 6-8

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Woken up this morning and chosen violence towards the goalkeepers union clearly.

I've got Doug King on my mind...

Let's hope we're not struggling so much that Doug has to consider the possibility of relegation and tightening down to cover the risk.
I'd expect 3 or so to be offloaded and 1 CM to come in, and maybe 1 loan.

Sorry this is just rubbish.

Forced at gunpoint to sign, was he?

And why was he waiting?

No truth

Risible.

 

[Flying Fokker]

I’d prioritise two. We look really exposed without Sheaf so we need a nuts and bolts midfielder. Then a creative midfielder in the Hamer mould. Be happy to return Ayari to free up some wages

I guess there’s a taxi waiting for Ayari? I hoped he’d perform better. But in a team of misfiring parts it’s never going to work.

 

[Viktor17]

No truth

Ok then if it makes you feel better believing that wild version of events!

it is the truth that he did say that to my daughter, If you dont want to believe that im fine about it.

He may have said that - but what he’s said v actual is somewhat different.

Certainly didn’t mean to accuse you of lying, more the version of events and narrative that was being spun

How’s Portugal Vik?

 

[mmttww]

We need a double hard central midfielder...

 

[Viktor17]

Very pleasant at this time of year.

 

[Pete in Portugal]

Very pleasant at this time of year.

I wouldn't call two weeks of rain 'very pleasant'.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Sinclair Armstrong would have been a great addition in the summer. Young enough to develop considerably, a lot of similarities to Vik in terms of playing style, quick AND strong. Goal return not the best at present but I think he could get there

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Armstrong was the best loan player I've seen down here.

Whose money were we using before the Vik transfer then ? City is a loss making business.

Not his i assure you

The only money that Dougs 'put in' to the club so far is the Ryton renovations. And thats only because its the only tangible asset the club have for when he flogs us on in the next few years

Just more stuff to rip down for housing

 

[Evo1883]

Now we are playing with a back 4 and 3 forwards , maybe we could ask Manchester united if we can loan diallo after he comes back from injury

 

[hamertime]

We need a double hard central midfielder who can pass a ball and take a set piece.

If you can re-incarnate Roy Keane go for it with your 100m. We need time and patience and support, as frustrating as it is.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

On today’s showing I’d hope Bidwell isn’t allowed to go on a free

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Creative number 10, possibly on loan and experienced striker please.

 

[Sick Boy]

At this point any January signings are likely going to be loans.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

In :
- Box to box CM
- Playmaker CM

Out :
- Simon Moore (perm)
- Yasin Ayari (terminate loan)
- Fabio Tavares (loan)
- Marco Rus (loan)

 

[SkyblueDad]

In striker or strikers, none are working either individually or collectively. Fresh legs might spark a partnership off.

We could do with a 4th choice striker but we’re unlikely to see significant investment there after the money spent. It would be an admission of failure by Robins.

I am not sure it is an admission of failure and even if it is surely it's better to do that than buy another CM, when we already have our two best players in that position. Maybe Simms and Wright will turn out to be great in the long term, but they are clearly not exactly performing brilliantly yet and we need to give them time. So what we need is an experienced striker as well as a creative attacking midfielder.

 

[SkyblueDad]

The problem I have with Haji Wright is his lack of aggression and you can’t train or coach that imo. I hope I sit here in a month or two swallowing these words but at the moment I just don’t see it.
