I think if we can get a Centre Half and a Striker in transfer window then I think we will be fine this season. As far as takeover is concerned what will be will be. Was thinking about this yesterday, it’s only really those 2 we need. If Ibe’s fitness is going to take a lot longer to get up to speed, you could throw in another wide player but other than that you don’t want to rock the boat too much. Would also be sensible to utilise the loan market for these. January is notoriously expensive to deal in, with clubs losing revenue with Covid transfer fees could go either way, rock bottom to get money in, or sky high. Either wouldn’t surprise me. About time we gave Lampard a ring, ask what he has for us and with Rooney’s Everton and Man United connections, could be a couple of favours to be had there as well.

I fear you’re setting yourself up for more disappointment with these self appointed deadlines. It’s not something we can control or have any idea of what’s being said behind closed doors and what paperwork is going back and forth. Nothing but wasted energy at this point. Rooney has said himself, the club are prepared for the transfer window with 2 scenarios in mind. What will be will be, enjoy the football and try not to get hung up on this takeover. Absolutely, what will be will be. I wont be too disappointed, Rooney has proved he can get this current crop playing well, give him Dursun and a couple of good loans and he will have us top half by the end of the season no doubt.

Dursen isn’t possible with the new rules coming in is he? I also don’t see why they would sell at this point, they are far from safe and would lose all their goals. Would be worth more to them than what we would pay surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggyram59 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Would be really great if we could get Phil Jones in from Man United and make him captain, experienced player and a leader to bring on the younger players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing of the new rules so not sure how it works, if he moved to England today or tomorrow would that get around the rules or would he be sent back home?

Still makes me giggle the number of posters slagging off Jones when his name appeared in the transfer thread a few months ago. Wonder if those same posters still have the same opinion now.

Just looked, can’t see any tweet on him. As for the new rules, I have no idea either. Saw this the other day though and I’m doing that, if it’s on the internet it must be true thing.

His contract expiers at the end of this season I believe, He's allowed(if he fits the above criteria)to negociate a contract and then the parent club has 2 options, Take what's offered or he goes for free. 3. Player/Agent power will dictate where or when he moves to A N Other club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s not to say the takeover might never happen, but the club can’t afford to wait until deadline day before moving in the market, I would imagine Rooney will be asking questions daily now and not want to waste any time.

I know it's hardly a concrete bit of info, he even spelt the name wrong, but Ed is tweeting his mate who is talking about strengthening the squad and Ed, in his position, tweets "Dursun on the way". I hope he is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he was saying we’ve got a key target and his second scenario kicks in if we fail in that. I’d be worried if he was openly referring to a non-takeover scenario Continue to think the club should accelerate his media training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there was anything wrong with his interview especially regarding transfer targets. He got slated by some for being a little too candid when he talked about the takeover hopefully being completed within 48 hrs (or whatever he said). This time, he answered the question well in my opinion and how we interpret the two scenario answer is down to us. Maybe he was talking about target B if A fails, maybe he was talking about if the takeover fails, maybe he was talking about if for some reason it’s still not completed in time.

Yes would love to see this happening because every time Wisdom goes near the ball i get palpitations However this could be another player we arelooking to sign that as had zero football of late and could well be Feb/march before up to speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorsforthRam Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Don’t get all the “palpitations” stuff with Wisdom. Made one obvious error last night. Has made sone great interceptions and last ditch tackles over the last few games. Looks to break the lines with his passing rather than sideways passing. Not a problem position.
