[torchomatic]

Look great in League 1 with they aren't careful.

Maybe so. Their stadium though.

Would be madness to let any of our CBs go without bringing in at least another one ourselves.

We needed a RB anyway and would need 2 if MVE goes as well.

 

[Chris1987]

Maybe, but idk. I would have thought we would have replaced Simms or Wright with a bigger signing. My guess is that BTA came in as Godden's replacement and then Bassette came along and was considered too good an opportunity to turn down.

All I will add is that my sister's family were all Baggies STH and they were over the moon when BTA was sold and very surprised that they got anything more than peanuts for him. They did say that the way they were set up suited his game ideally but he was very poor at executing the role.

I think it is clear (despite what DK might have said) that we must have been looking for a midfielder in addition to what we had. Robins certainly gave that impression and we were linked with (at least) two. Sometimes things just don't work out.

Maybe thought they’ll get us through to January then add someone if it isnt working, well it def didn’t work

didnt look bad against us, prob why we signed him

He was a long term Robins target ….

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Seeming as we need cover for RW I wouldn’t be against signing Ryan Kent till the end of the season.

Blackburn are looking at him as well as Rangers again

A sparse attendance with all the atmosphere of a funeral parlour ,not helped by being played on a Thursday .

And it's -5 in Sheffield

No it's 0-1 at half time?

My neighbour is too and had similar comments. I thought he would make a decent replacement for Golden given we weren't paying much for him but hadn't figured on him playing quite so many games for us.

Honestly don’t know why people are bothered by it.

I don't think that they are really

Sheffield fielding their 'B' team.

My old boss is a baggies fan and laughed when it came though we’d signed him. Told me he runs around a lot n not much else. Also needed 5 shots to hit the target once! Pretty much an accurate description

Yet he was still Baggies top goal scorer last season what does that tell ya? Fancy going around slagging our players off pathetic to even call yourself a Cov fan

 

[JSL]

I remember we the transfer rumour thread about him before he signed. People on here were wetting themselves with excitement that we were linked with him. How times change

 

[higgs]

Philip Billing gone on loan to napoli looks like we missed out on him again

Sam McCallum's passing/crossing (bar one) has been abysmal in the Sheff U v Cardiff game.

He only got 11 for a side that finished top 6 while being their first choice striker generally. That tells me he’s probably not that clinical.

he was never coming here, not sure how we have missed out again on him

 

[robbiethemole]

Surely we wouldn't allow players to leave without having replacements in??...............................OH, wait, we never learn that harsh lesson

 

[DrPoolittle]

This assumes it was a case of either/or. Was there no money for a midfielder or did we just fail to bring one in? At the time we brought BTA a lot on here thought we were desperate for a striker to replace Golden so if anything Bassette was the mistake. Personally I think the club assumed/gambled that Gyokeres and Hamer would move but that is just me speculating.

Agree. I think the club were gambling on Gyokeres moving……and probably still are.

As for midfielders, the club made moves for at least 3 midfielders but in each case, the players turned City down. Or rather, elected to go elsewhere

 

[DrPoolittle]

Nothings close apparently

Halfway through January soon...

Lots of gossip out there saying clubs are waiting to get the FA Cup weekend out of the way first. I don’t know how credible that is

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Burnley signed that right back we wanted too didn't they?

Ah maybe. Wasn't listed on the BBC website of transfers so far.

Yet his shot conversion rate and amount of shots per goal was better than Haji Wright’s last season

Haji wasn’t very clinical last season

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Haji wasn’t very clinical last season

He scored 20 goals!!!

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

He scored 20 goals!!!

I mean Vik wasnt clinical either at times, I agree Haji at times, I repeat at times not necessarily often, showed a lack of consistency in front of goal however if we have a chance I’d want him on the end of it.

He's a left winger not right. We aren't short on the left wing.

Ever thought of using a pen name?

 

[Winny the Bish]

Why is Fabio Tavares still at the club? Fella is older than Rudoni and Bobby Thomas. Waste of a wage.

He played for us on the right

Fair play to them.
