Exactly what we need at the moment, although getting on a bit (31) - would be a straight FFP write off, so Derby won't be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were linked a few years back in the January under Rowett. I think Nigel Adkins said they had turned down a loan offer for him, and we'd been linked with him earlier in the window, so I think it might have been a genuine link. I don't think we'd have much chance of beating West Brom for him, mind you, but with them already having Pereira, Diangana and Phillips, Robinson coming in from Sheffield United, and now possibly Grosicki coming in as well, they seem pretty stacked on the wings, and I have to wonder where that leaves Chris Willock, the young lad they've got on loan from Benfica. He wasn't getting a look in anyway, and I think Benfica have an option to recall him, so it wouldn't surprise me to see him recalled and maybe sent elsewhere. Had an option to buy in his West Brom contract at what they called "a reasonable fee" as well. Could maybe be a possible last minute option for ourselves. Would certainly be a waste if he spends the rest of the season in the Baggies reserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 It will be interesting to see who, if any, comes in. I think it's safe to say that some people in the player recruitment side should lose their jobs after the past two windows. Imagine this again next season, christ, even for the next two seasons. Too many talentless people in our backroom and now look at the state of the club, even if the EFL punishment comes to nothing (which I doubt it will) we're still relying on the same bunch of people on a much lower budget. This club, in its current state and with the same decision makers, will see League One before the Premier League. We can only sit back and watch in baited breathe the day where Derby County v Rochdale is a league fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gccrowdpleaser Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 The fact that 'player recruitment' is often cited for the faceless people there means we actually have no real clue who is in player recruitment department. It may be that it's altered which in turn takes time to build targets and pictures thus rushing something in this window is not ideal. If you can't get first and second choices then in my opinion bringing nobody in is a better option tha ln saddling us with a contract. I'd rather we prepared to do business early in the summer and gave them a full preseason together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosythram Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 So we actually believe that we will “do business in the summer” , I think one thing Mel does need to address in the summer is fans not believing anything that spouts from the DCFC propaganda machine. No I can’t see us doing jack poo recruitment in the summer, that’s based on us having a system and plugging the gaps. We don’t, that doesn’t mean I want the manager gone all I want is us all to sing from the same hymn sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Barcelona just bid 85 million euros for Richalison at Everton which incidentally got knocked back. You think our scouting team is moonlighting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 West Brom been linked with Grosicki & now Atsu from Newcastle. Atsu would be ideal for us, exactly the type of winger we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hopefully if Hull do lose Grosicki they may make a move for Jozefzoon, sure they have been linked with him before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Diangana, Pereira, Phillips, Robinson, Grosicki, Atsu and Willock, and Krovinovic, Edwards, Brunt, Gibbs and Robson-Kanu also able to play out wide, West Brom's going to finish this window with more wings than a bucket of KFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Makes you wonder just how nigel,for all his other faults,managed to get such a fantastic squad together,largely on the very cheap back in 2013/14. Theres clearly a way to do this if you have the knack and knowledge. I fear we have neither at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put it in some context by the time the 2013/14 came round he'd already been at the club for 3 and a half seasons and (by the time he was sacked) was manager over the course of 10 transfer windows.

Not a great Clough Jnr fan, but can't deny he found some real steals, but some turkeys. Can't see Cocu getting that long and tbh the way he sets us up I'm glad.

Problem is that PSV had money adn pulling power, we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
