BatRam Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I know it sounds ridiculous, but if we get the takeover through the door and hang on to our first team players. Im excited for the rebuild. What do you guys think will happen in January window? Personally I think we’ll sell knight lawrence and Marshall to make up abit of cash Red_Dawn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect Joz and Marshall to go at least anyway. Lawrence probably depends whether we need to free up wages or just get something for him if he doesnt want to stay for the fight back on lower wages. Everyone else just not sure. More concerned about when we will be able to start offering contracts and resigning youngsters so that if they get poached we at least will get fees and hopefully some will commit and stay. This would be my priority as its where we're most vulnerable California Ram. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC27 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Personally I feel we should keep as many players as possible from our main squad at the moment for league one, some exceptions such as Jozwiak/CKR/Baldock. But I do feel a season in league one would suit a lot of our youngsters and if we can keep Lawrence/Knight/Davies/Jags it will have a nice core.

I think Lawrence and Knight will join your list of leavers, along with Bielik and possibly Buchanan. Hope we can keep Bird and the U23 stars.

DesertRam Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I can't see us keeping anyone who has had a regular place, out of the U23s, ie Sibley, Buchannan, knight, Bird etc.. Lawrence may surprise everyone. Depends on the remit from the new owner ? Still expect Rooney to stay if asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, you can add Bielik, do not know what wages he is on however he will be still unproven in January after his 2 major injuries and will he break down again before the end of season, hope not, doubt if any manager would consider him in January far too risky Kathcairns, atherstoneram and Tyler Durden 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jram Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hopefully Bielik will stay this January, have a barnstorming second half of the season and go for 15 million quid in the summer, bank rolling a rebuild Surely Lawrence will go just because of his outrageous wages as well as Marshall. We’ll probably all but give them away tbh to save the money Sincerely hope we either keep the younger lads or we make decent money on them and they go to a decent level (I certainly think the likes of Knight, Buchanan, Bird wouldn’t look out of place in the Prem) We’ll need a bit of investment in the summer for sure, even if it’s just to extend some contracts. I don’t think this squad, especially with the talented youth we have, are a million miles from being competitive in league 1. Some obvious requirements- goal scorer being the main one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwichram Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Think the DET did an article suggesting CKR will be going potentially in Jan if that’s right and Tom goes to Stoke (?) plus we don’t renew Baldock it would great to see Rooney get Elanga on loan from Man Utd …in a dream world we would also get Delap from Man City (I believe Pep to be one of the most selfish and ruthless people in football so doubt he’d see it as a great opportunity to do a good thing for someone else and/or wider football) if not maybe Stevie G can lend his mate Keenan Davies. with two of these I’d be confident we could give it a go (as long as they didn’t ask for loan fees). The three players we’d sell/release would save approx 45-50k in wages which we could use to contribute to the wages for the incoming players we live in hope Anag Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Recon more than 1 team will want Sir Tom and we’ll get a small fee.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwichram Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Hope you’re right - could well be worth a punt for anyone pushing for play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atherstoneram Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I think Forest will come back in for Buchanan with a revised offer and the administrators will accept. ziggyram59 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. It seems an age since we had that sort of player, maybe going back pre Clough. Even if we had some money to spend, would a Steve Howard type player come to a DCFC in decline? kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
