January Transfer Window (8 replies)

Everyone is saying there is little scope for new players in the January transfer window.

I do wonder if we will see some wheeling and dealing.

Firstly we have several with just 6 months left on contract.
Etheridge, Long, M Roberts, Sunjic, Gardner, Juke and Hogan are prime examples.

There’s been no appetite in the past but the players now only have 6 months left. They may be willing to settle for a smaller payoff if they can get fixed up with an longer contract in Jan elsewhere rather than be in the mixer this summer. Also freeing up some budget if we shift them out on maybe 30% -50% of what we owe them.

I actually think there are very few Rooney would definitely want to keep. Perhaps Laird, Buchanan, James, Hall.

You would think summer recruits like Dembele, Myoshi, Sanderson and Bielik would have perhaps been ran by WR but I’m not sure if anyone of these is a player WR sees as vital.

There’s players like Bacuna and Longelo that other clubs may fancy taking a punt on.

Ruddy has had interest before which may mean a new keeper is possible.

We also have the loans…you’d imagine they’ll be here for the year.

Tyler Roberts lets hope he comes back fully fit.

I think we will see 3/4 come in Jan and a few going out….possibly some surprises in that too.
