PistoldPete Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 This is where we have to carry on the Duck the Efl mentality that nearly kept us up last year. Other clubs have unfair advantage but. We can beat em anyway. Mihangel and Carl Sagan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised he’s gone for such a little fee I was under the impression he was highly thought of. Plymouth have made 5 signings and I’m pretty sure Bolton have added to their squad. If Derbys chance of promotion was tough before jan, the inability to strengthen considerably is a right royal kick to the balls. The actual transaction was three times that, but the EFL are currently subsidising transfer purchases for all clubs in the top 6 of L1. Some sort of January sale gimmick, to help the finances of their member clubs. ... well, 5 of the top 6, technically, as one team has been banned from receiving any subsidies... obvs!

nottingram Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Not sure we need to worry about what Ipswich are doing. There is no need to spend 7 figure fees on players at this level which is why no one else is doing it LeedsCityRam and SKRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Bringing Bielik back would only restrict our spending in other areas of the pitch that are more urgent. I don't think that he'd mind that much about coming back to a promotion campaign in front of near 30,000 crowds at a club all pulling together from top to bottom. Compare that with Brum, with half those crowds, playing in a half-repaired stadium, starting to look over their shoulders worrying about relegation, with the fanbase revolting and owners that are invisible.

He was heartbroken Francis sold him, he was only in his mid 20s then We ended up heartbroken too. He was one of our worst ever signings. He cost us the Wembley play-off final against Leicester in 1994 when he shot wide of an open goal when it would have been far easier to score. Jim Smith, about six weeks into his rein, hauled him off after less than half an hour at Portsmouth and he never kicked a ball for us again. After that he was virtually finished in England. He went on loan to West Ham and did nothing and then joined Forest and played just three games in their 1999 relegation season before making his way home to the USA. He was a huge disappointment.

Under Davies I remember being very underwhelmed with Fagan and a lad from Man U who’s name evades me but both were about 1m and for me done nothing for our team january is difficult for transfers and our restrictions must make it even harder I’d rather stick with what we’ve got than sign players who are no improvement on what we have Injuries might cost us though and a striker is a must now or we have no real changes from bench up top …I’d sell Bielik if it meant we could sign quality but I doubt selling him will change much in this window so stick with what we have unless it’s a no brainer We haven't signed many in recent reasons. and the last time we paid a fee for a player in January was Jerome in 2018. 13/14 was a good January though.

Ambitious Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I wouldn’t worry too much about rival signings at this level. Although, I’m sure that some will turn out to be good players, they’re still players who are having to find a new home in the third division of English football. Logic states that they’re going to be far from world beaters, otherwise they would be playing much higher up the pyramid. They may be good players at this level, but it’s important to recognise that we’re unlikely to see the second coming of Messi at this level and regardless of reputation that all of them are going to be deeply flawed, most likely hugely inconsistent. A lot could be made of not bloating your squad full of players who are having to make a career at this level, especially for decent fees and wages.
