Transfer Rumour January transfer window (24 Viewers)

[Deity]

If anyone thinks Lampard isn’t panicking about what he’s seen they can think again - he isn’t daft. Hardly going to say anything to the press is he? He will have players lined up it’s just a case of…have we got the money?

2 loans and 1 permanent would do it for me (would like 2 if possible).

Left back, right back, centre back and centre mid. Two of which need to be players with experience and have leadership qualities. Comes at a cost though.

Also for that to happen, we’ve got to move players on. Tavares and Allen I’m sure will find a club in Jan and be allowed to leave. Rapha will head out on loan as it’s obvious he’s nowhere near ready and maybe someone comes in for BTA. Really no point in having 3 keepers either, one of them has to go and let’s be honest…it won’t be Collins. If Dovin doesn’t play tomorrow then he may as well head out on loan as well…same as Kitching.

Will be a very interesting window.

I doubt Frank is panicking.

I do suspect he thinks the defence and keeper options are worse than he first thought.

Is that Gemma Collins?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

1 in 1 out done, will be confirmed very early in the window, will get names soon as I can

Lampard wants 4 in, expect 2 to be loans

Any idea on positions?

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Any idea on positions?

CDM, CB, LB, RB has to be surely, guessing loan CB and LB

 

[Gibbo]

That was to rest Bidders evidently, expect him to start Thursday

Crikey we need Bidders. He's the only one in the back 4 capable of a proper defensive shift

 

[Gibbo]

If Bidders is fit I would not panic about left back. It's a holding defensive midfielder and a strong personality in central defence that are the top priority. Loans or purchase - don't care

Caught the ball in one hand. Sign her up

 

[robbiethemole]

Can’t be any worse than the Collins we have now

 

[Deity]

I’d love to see an experienced centre half, new dynamic left back, cover at right back and cover for Tats ( assuming Raphael isn’t ready yet ) if he is then another driving CM.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Would like another striker to create some limbs too

Experience and leaders.
Just feel like you have to get the balance between youngsters and old heads, espeically in this league where no one is special but we have a raft of well drilled teams and some that play the dark arts

There's no incomings without outgoings, but who's going to take our dross?

Ideally we need to offload Collins, Dasilva, Binks, Allen, and Tavares (maybe more)
But I doubt there will be much interest, and Doug is not going to want the wage bill increasing.

Frank won’t have come in without some assurances about transfers

 

[Cally Fedora]

The outgoings might be interesting. I’d say possibilities for the exit for varying reasons are:
Kitching
Collins
Tavares
Simms
Sheaf

 

[larry_david]

Saddle has said one out is already sorted

 

[Cally Fedora]

Yes, could be any of those

 

[Deity]

Must be Tavares. Not even in match day squad.

 

[shmmeee]

Tavares out considering he wasn’t in the squad yesterday?

 

[Cally Fedora]

Kitching for me

 

[Sick Boy]

It’ll be Tavares.

 

[PVA]

The outgoings might be interesting. I’d say possibilities for the exit for varying reasons are:
Kitching
Collins
Tavares
Simms
Sheaf

You could add Allen and one of Bidwell/Dasilva to that list as well

(assuming a replacement is bought in first)

 

[Captain Dart]

Maybe Rooney should sign Fabio, his injury problems meant he played a 16 year old up front against us.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Where is the money for all this unless players go out

 

[skybluecam]

Ideal window right now

OUT
Tavares - Permanent, see if we can get a nominal fee
Allen - Permanent, bottom of the pecking order, would be a good pickup for a L1 side, could generate a small fee
Kitching - loan, IF Lampard isn't gonna use him then try and loan him out somewhere to get minutes
Dasilva - perm or loan if we can bring in a new LB to save us some money

IN
LB - Permanent, better on the ball than Bidwell and better defensively than Dasilva
CB - Perm or loan, left footer who can actually defend
RW - loan, backup for Saka since Raphael can't get a game
CM - loan, take a punt on a prem wonderkid

 

[edgy]

With Rapha taking a squad place from Tavares, the writing really is on the wall for him.

Suspect a loan. Unless a free transfer can be sorted.

Have you not read what Lampard has said about Raphael, looks like he’s in his thoughts and will get some minutes. He nearly picked him for yesterday’s game.

 

[Gint11]

I’d suspect Tavares or Kitching first out.
Followed closely behind by a goalkeeper.

Who would sign Kitching?

 

[Gint11]

A team in league 1.
He’s a professional centre half. There will be teams who will want him.

Hes hardly a washed up 45 year old defender is he

 

[Captain Dart]

Who would sign Kitching?

Looks to me like he is going nowhere, I'd say the same about Jamie Allen else why would both get a bit of game time.

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

Robins

No one can afford him though - unless it’s a loan. Don’t think we would get anything near the price we paid which means King especially would be reluctant to let him go. I think he will get a run of games at some point.

How much would they pay? Not even half what we did
