Transfer Rumour January transfer window (190 Viewers)

[PVA]

Don’t think we’ll be seeing all that much more of Sakamoto

If we go back to 4 at the back, which I think we will, then he'll be first choice on the right.

[PVA]

We can all agree Allen has been a revelation on his return to the team. But he's not the long term solution

Yep. I don't see the logic of keeping him over Eccles (unless Eccles is unhappy and wants to move on to get more minutes).

Lampard said in an interview that he likes him

 

[fernandopartridge]

Maybe this is where I’m wrong as I thought Grimes was the Sheaf replacement.

If we play double pivot then would say great but that would place Rudoni and Torp into the centre where I think they struggle to play as well as on the left and right of midfield

If Frank sees Grimes as higher up or if he can also great but if not it would us with an additional expensive player without the RB or RW we could do with this year

Lampard hinted in his interview about Grimes that he could use him a bit further forward, so it's by no means guaranteed what he'll be doing

Lampard said in an interview that he likes him

Yeah said he was unlucky because of the change of formation.

 

[CovLad94]

If this is true I'm sure we'll hear more on this from Twitter Journos later or online today or early tomorrow as its Ajax involved

 

[CovLad94]

@Saddlebrains heard anything on Tahirovic coming in? Anyone potentially leaving to make way or Eccles pushing for a move?

 

[shmmeee]

I disagree. Think the only reason he’s not been playing is because he doesn’t suit this system. Once everyone is back and we are back to out and out wingers, he’ll be back in. Lampard has said on several occasions that he likes him.

He’s been first on when we change shape to a 541 as well

 

[robbiethemole]

Not sure... selling your top striker at this stage of the season when you're involved in an incredibly tight playoff push is a hell of a risk. Iheanacho obviously has talent but is an enigma, not someone I'd be confident in relying on.

Boro flogging Latte Lath for 22.5 million and getting Iheanacho on loan from Sevilla is easily the best bit of business in Jan so far

Didn't they do this with Akpom after he was firing in goals?? and it didn't help them (or has the memory gone completely?)

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

If this was happening, we’d have already had something I’d have thought

 

[Shannerz]

They sold him at the end of the season. He played against us in the playoffs.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Rumours we were at Charlton Scouting yesterday. Wonder if we are one of the championship sides looking at Thierry Small

He's a very ordinary striker no ?

 

[Matt smith]

He's a very ordinary striker no ?

Iheanacho isn’t that good a signing either is he?

Put it this way haji is on par with him at a minimum

 

[Evo1883]

Iheanacho isn’t that good a signing either is he?

I mean he's a decent player I'm just bitter boro are signing him

Yea good signing for them tbh

Return of the GOD????

Id file it under 'more chance of plaiting piss'

 

[larry_david]

Id file it under 'more chance of plaiting piss'

So that's a no then?

Is there a chance that your ITK doesn't know ?

Just hoping here really

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Is there a chance that your ITK doesn't know ?

There is, though I find it hard to see how we’d manage so many CMs

 

[Evo1883]

I agree , I'm just clinging to the info given

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

He’ll obviously be the sheaf replacement

 

[Seamus1]

Unless Saddle’s ITK source is Josh Eccles in denial

 

[Ccfcisparks]

A big 6 pointer in the ITK league tomorrow. Chance for Rexo to leapfrog Saddle

He could be on the radar for the summer of course

But let's look at it logically

We were aiming to get someone out for a fee this window, haven't, yet added grimes. So that's 3.5Million spent this window

We spent 13 Million in the summer with only Palmer going out for a fee, (1.2 Million I'm told)

So we are net 15.3 Million down this season

There is absolutely no way we bring anyone in for a fee now.

The summer will be different, Sheaf will be going for 7 or above, Vik will 100% move on so that's another 6 Million

or maybe we’re signing him on loan to buy him in the summer knowing sheaf is going

His desired system won’t be in effect much is my point

 

[Saddlebrains]

Possibly, but Doug is a sensible businessman.

What if Sheaf doesn't get the interest he/we expect this summer? We've all agreed he's been woeful bar 2 or 3 games this season. The performances and injury record will have put off Premier league suitors I am 100% sure.

On his day he’s the best midfielder in the league, there will be Prem clubs + the clubs coming down looking at him

Oxford were rumoured with him for aloan. Quite possible we also try the same offer.

It will be loan with obligation to buy I’d have thought

 

[TomRad85]

If its us vs Oxford just announce it now.

 

[rexo87]

As I said, I don’t see why we are after him, but given the other stuff I was told, I’m still very confident about it. Also would love it to be right now as Saddles so sure it’s not happening (sorry Saddle)
