Rab a dab doo Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Not much chance of that he's currently playing in their 1st team, as one of the first choice strikers. I think that boat's sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oomarkwright Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I suggested getting some players in from the Irish league. 14 players from Dundalk are out of contract and they played europa league! Another CB and CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomG Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Does anyone think that our January transfer business might be scuppered if this proposed takeover doesn't happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC27 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Haven’t seen one of these so apologies if it’s a repeated one. First time in a where it’s more difficult to bring a player in. obviously we need a striker and I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get one in early door. Secondly we need another CB, would be amazing if we could get Phil Jones in, he’d take us up a level and would be coming at a great age for a CB. After that and I’m looking at Shinnie, he’s good at the moment for us but he lad I some quality in the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 This should be a very quiet window with only a CB and a CF coming in. Most likely loans, unless we go in for someone like Dursun. Ideally, any loans will be with a view to a permanent deal in the summer as those are the two positions we will need heavily replacing. It's going to be another of those where it's more important getting players out (loan/permanent): Marriott, te Wierik, JML, Trialist, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I also cant imagine us spending big in Jan, this season will be about just staying up and assuming the takeover happens and the new owners mean business, the fun and games will start in the summer.

The midfield options we have are more than good enough for us to avoid relegation, and top 6 is a bit too much of a stretch no matter who we sign. There's no chance we get to keep him, so why develop a player for someone else when we can improve our own players in readiness for next season?

We have settled on 3 good or decent midfielders. We are one injury away from weakening that midfield. As the season continues we need to rotate. CM isn't our top priority but is our third priority.

He might improve the team for this season, but at a detriment to next season. I assume your 3 is Bielik, Shinnie, Knight? Bird, Holmes and Sibley - all good enough as backups, and all have shown at times that they are good enough to be starters. Considering 21st is as good as 7th in this league, why splash out on a loan signing (fee and wages) who must play every game when it would be of zero benefit to the club beyond this season, and very little benefit this season anyway? For this transfer window, i'd put CM at 5th priority: CF > CB > RB > LB > CM > GK > RW > LW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't go with this "why develop a player for someone else" view. If one loan of real quality can play a huge part in avoiding relegation (e.g. Leon Osman) or make that vital difference between finishing 6th or 10th) then I'm all for it. From what I've seen of Gilmour when playing in the Chelsea senior team, he has that something special and is well ahead of any of our young players who have emerged from the academy, good though they have been. What does annoy is bringing in very average loans such as Paterson and Dowell which was the case last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could have him for a full season, I'm sure he would help us finish in the top 6. What I do doubt is him coming in being the difference between where we would finish and us sneaking in at 6th place. We'd need to be the top side for half of the season to sneak in at 6th on the final day. In terms of points per game, we'd need to be as good as Leeds were last season, when they won the league. Is Gilmour so good, that we suddenly become that side? Meanwhile, I am absolutely certain that we have the players already at the club who can help us avoid relegation.
