Jourdan Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I think right now we have had a 7/10 window. It’s been largely encouraging and a step in the right direction. There have been a few obvious missteps - not replacing Martin as yet and not signing a quality midfielder. There are big question marks over two or three of our signings - Ibe (based on his recent history), Te Wierik (based on what we’ve seen so far), and Kazim-Richards (based on everything) - but all of them could be bargains if they do well and the damage is fairly minimal if they don’t. Adding Wilson would have made it a 9/10 window but I guess we can’t be greedy in the circumstances, can we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 We had him on loan the season before last, we asked about him last year as we wanted him back, but missed out as he went on loan to the prem. Due to a quirk of fate he is now available on loan and basically it's a case of the championship team who can agree terms with liverpool would be able get him. Given the fact we have lost Martin, Jozefzoon etc and still havent signed that striker we desperately need, it's fair to say I'd be disappointed if we couldn't secure the signing of Wilson.

Marriot Ram99 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 If we don't sign him it won't have been a bad window but considering we received a reported 10 mill for Lowe and Bogle, then it has been a very pound land window even though we signed Jozwiak. Maybe that's the way it will have to be, may have to just grin and bear midtable and Bristol going up with Martin and Wiemman and Wilson bagging for Cardiff. If that's coupled with Bamford being called up to the England squad and Leeds finish top 7 then we will be living in a sick and twisted reality.

Marriot Ram99 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I think we need some perspective, yes it's not an exciting signing really even though he could be good but there's an article on the BBC Football page saying how up to 6 clubs could go bust in the championship before Christmas, we are lucky there's no chance one of those will be us and maybe a bit of financial prudency is sensible if we are unlikely to get promoted anyway. Saying that I'd love us to sign Wilson, just can't see that happening due to finances. Loosing Martin was a massive blow no matter how it's dressed up, but hopefully Ibe and Jozwiak will be that good for us this season that a lack of a big money striker won't matter.

Ram of Steel Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Just because Cardiff have had an offer accepted doesn’t automatically mean that’s where he’s going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Trav Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 If we were seriously in for him I think he’d chose us. Not just because of the loan spell but he’ll also know then club and I won’t be surprised if he’s spoken to cocu already as cocu has been very open about his quality and open about how he wanted him last year. If we bid what they want we’ll get him. Question is if we really want him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RYRAM Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 well I sure we have asked but the loan fee of reported over 1 mill would surely see other clubs have more of a edge. also Liverpool will be looking to sell for upwards 20mill are Derby in a position to offer this I sadly I think not. hope I am wrong would love him back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriggRam Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Nothing confirmed on SSN as off 06.40 this morning, still saying Liverpool have rejected Swansea's offer and that Derby....Forest......and Cardiff still interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hmm... I’m young, rich and Welsh... why would I possibly choose to live in Cardiff?? ?? Derby on the other hand has a velodrome and a closed Assembly Rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Got to view this window in the whole. The links this week with Wilson have got everyone excited and if we miss out then there will be a big feeling of disappointment but it’s easy to forget the good business we have done this window. The other thing to note with Wilson is if he doesn’t come, it’s because we can’t agree the finances with Liverpool and no other reason. 6 clubs saying they could go bust and another 8 talking about further redundancies puts things in perspective. These are tough times regardless of any P&S requirements. There will also be those looking at Forest and seeing they’re throwing the kitchen sink at it. High risk high reward strategy and in these times seems crazy to me, it may work out for them, we tried it and and we failed and it’s set us back meaning we now need to cut our cloth accordingly. We should pay no attention to them and focus on ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
