Transfer Rumour January transfer window (114 Viewers)

[David O'Day]

I’m told he’s arriving on Monday from same person who told me Matondo’s deal collapsed before the media said it, Carr had left a few hours before it was announced and Tavares had gone to Burton a day before that was announced. If it doesn’t happen then apologies but I’m very confident with what I’ve been told

He's a good player, be a good signing but he plays in a position we have good players, a new signing and good depth

Yeah I agree I don’t really understand it and I’d rather we bring a RW in but just saying what I’ve been told

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I wonder if we are going to try and turn him into a ball playing middle CB

 

[Ccfcisparks]

It would suggest sheaf is defo gone in the summer though

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Can see him coming in and Eccles going out

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Is he a loan to buy or just a loan coming in? Weird one as we wanted him in the summer but he turned us down if not wrong

Surely you’d just go and get a ball playing CB like the reading lad if so (don’t get me wrong probably cheaper Ben but wages will be high).

Might suggest Eccles is gone before Monday night.

Would of imagined we would have heard something through one of the ITKs if true?

None of them gave us Grimes

Saddle did tbf

 

[procdoc]

I’ve never seen him play, what type of player is he? Is he creative or more of a holding player? He’s only 21 so maybe wouldn’t expect to start straight away?

Ben?
The lad from Ajax could play CDM or CB then

 

[Levship20]

Ben?

Surely not, he has played 27 games this season

Could play Ben Sheaf as a CB. Did well there in the past and has the right mentality and ability for a CB imo but think it’s harsh to take any one of the defence out atm.

Can say Saddle did but it’s not so much that someone hasn’t come out and said Eccles is off but more that their is no noise regarding any of the players leaving

It just can’t be this player! Playing for Ajax,,, no chance.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

He’s hardly playing and there fans don’t rate him

Was rumoured that Oxford were on about having him on loan and it was one we agreed a deal for only for the player to pull out.

I could see us being interested although I don’t get the why as RB and RW could be my focus

I did say the other day to expect a bid for Eccles to come in the summer. There are whispers. I wouldn't have expected it this window though. I agree with what you said though about it being strange as he did turn us down after fee was agreed. He's also spent 2 months out injured.

Fair on the Eccles point but unless it’s Stoke I can’t see the demand on Monday but good offer helps us and I wouldn’t say no atm as expect Allen to be back on the bench for Grimes.

Just strange this one, not what we need and we can’t exactly even go back to the box when our best players are wingers

 

[shmmeee]

TBF we had no one to come on for Torp or Rudoni really today. Grimes Sheaf Allen and Eccles all play a more defensive role. There’s definitely room for a more attacking CM IMO.

It is strange, the only viable reason surely would be Eccles going out. Obviously Sheaf may go in the summer but again like you said it wouldn't be an area we need to address this window after Grimes.
Eccles has been scouted by 3 Championship clubs.

The Ajax guy is a defensive midfielder

Then I don’t get it at all.

 

[Jimmy87]

Which ones Jimmy

Stoke (pre Robins), Blackburn and Hull.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Guess we’ll see on Monday. Saw the Oxford lad was on the bench and would much rather sign him (hell could even give them Eccles in a straight swap )

Is that Tyler Goodrham?

 

[CovLad94]

Tyler Goodrham would be a great investment, fits out transfer policy too

You also said that about Allen, any progress on that?

To be fair to him sb did

Afonso Sousa, maybe one for the summer, when he good he's excellent, when he's bad he's bad, if he could get consistentcy to his game he'd be some player. Contract runs out next summer, so maybe a relatively cheap gamble and still got a few years to develop.

 

[Jimmy87]

I'd heard that at the start of the window he would be open to a move as he wanted more minutes. I think it's probably fair to say that question is dead in the water now. Lampard has given him a chance and he's obviously firmly in his thoughts to keep. Same with Kitching, really glad they batted away that loan approach.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Is that Tyler Goodrham?

Yep. One I’ve heard we’ve got a keen eye on
