Sparkle Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 In terms of our FFP I prefer not to blow our stash and leave no room for manoeuvre in terms of I want I want I want, well really when did we sign someone on deadline day who was a real game changer (in a positive way) usually we have seemed to have lost more than we gained.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Bradley Johnson was a deadline day buy wasn't he? I would say on balance he has been a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laticman Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I've just heard Norwich are paying £7m for Wildschut and I'm amazed. He's not worth anything like that so they must be desperate. We play Norwich next Tuesday at our place. It'll be interesting to see what reception Yanic gets if he's a Norwich player by then. You've not missed out Rams so don't despair.

Worth factoring in that signing Yanis Wildschut is probably what has swung the Mitchell Dijks deal for us, and that's a huge signing. Dijks played left back behind Wildschut at Heerenveen, so although £7m may be a big fee it does come with the added bonus of meaning that we've got two new players on that left side who have played together for the Holland U21's and in the Eredivisie. Dijks is the huge signing, assuming that we have a future fee agreed for the permanent as believed. Robbie Brady has been bang average for us this season. In fact he was bang average most of last season too, although he is a marketing departments dream as he's becoming Ireland's new poster boy now that Robbie Keane has retired. If we pay over the odds for Wildschut at £7m, it will at least be in the knowledge that £6m of the the £13m fee that will be paid for Brady is for his future commercial value rather than his ability as a footballer. Occasionally we see glimpses of a player who looks Premier League quality, not anywhere near often enough to call him one of our most important players unfortunately. The only reason you rate Brady is because he made a name for himself at the Euro's, proving my point. Was backup to Andrew Robertson at Hull, very patchy for us in the Premier League, and largely ineffective for us this season. He's bang average.

DerbyPride Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Regardless of whether he'd have been a good signing or not, we do seem to be missing out on a number of players we've been linked with. I wonder how much of this is down to whether we were actually interested or not (paper talk, agent talk, etc), whether we've been priced out (FFP, price exceeding our valuation) or whether the player has turned us down or preferred a move elsewhere.

Who have we missed out on? I can only think of Lansbury and that was mainly due to Fawaz refusing to sell to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laticman Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Beckham would out a good cross in though. Yanic's final ball is poor, but if you're happy to pay £7m for him then good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty obvious that Norwich were desperate for a left footed player, we've exceeded the market valuation and so simply outbid Derby. We've got no left backs, and one left winger who is set to leave (Brady). Our season depends on signing a couple of left footed players today, so clearly we had no Plan B and just had to outbid you.
