Transfer News January 2021/22 Transfer Window

[Dilla]

Has an interview been released in the last couple of hours ?

United head coach Karl Robinson said: “First of all, we thank Jordan for what he did here.

“He settled in straight away, he is a tremendous competitor and it has been a pleasure to have him here. We wish him well back at Blackpool.

“We have options in that position and because we always knew there was the recall clause we have made plans for all eventualities.

“We will wait and see if we need to bring in a direct replacement in the next week or so.”

I think I'm just going to be patient and see what We've got on the 1st of February if we end up with a couple of quality signings that will do for me

How can you be so sensible and measured at a febrile time like this!

 

[Oxford1996]

The two players I've heard mentioned are established league centre backs. In addition, we've looked at players like Jack Tucker (22 year old, 120 games in league one) or Will Boyle (26 year old, 150 games in league's 1 & 2). This won't be some bodge job!

[uptheus]

Was he getting his booster?

I was thinking worse!

 

[uptheus]

In true KR form I doubt he'll sign a like for like replacement. I expect McNally will play (don't mind that) with Long staying at RB but will play CB if needed with Forde playing RB when Long plays CB.

The wages will be used on a winger I'd imagine or a another import from Ireland who'll need a season or two to develop.

That’s acting like a big club aiming to be in the top 30 positions in the leagues, not!

 

[Marked Ox]

Don'r rule out him coming back on a permenant or loan before the window shuts. Sure they don;t really want/need him on the wage bill. There was a reason they loaned him to us in the first place.

Let's see what happens. Personally, if it allows McNally a place in the team, plus if we can bring ANOTHER talented centre half in then this may not be awful news!

It is also an opportunity for Golding and Nosakhare to push their claims for a 1st team squad place.

 

[Marked Ox]

Yes agree, but he may not be first choice then. Who was that guy who played for Dagenham against us when he was nearly 40? God my memory

Jamie Cureton?

No, we need to sign someone , and I'm sure we will - probably Thorniley and maybe even one other.

 

[werthersoriginal]

Jamie Cureton?

That's the fella, he was a similar sort of player to Taylor.

Lets hope so.

Sheff Wed are getting linked with just about every centre half that may be available and in some cases aren't likely available.

 

[Marked Ox]

No, we need to sign someone , and I'm sure we will - probably Thorniley and maybe even one other.

If they're good enough (I'm not saying they are or aren't) then why not? Physically they are both capable and did well in their appearances in the Pizza Trophy.

 

[Marked Ox]

That's the fella, he was a similar sort of player to Taylor.

Yes, very similar to Matty Taylor. Cureton finished playing in 2020 (around 44 years old) at Enfield who he now manages.

 

[Yellows1]

We don't always need to look at resale value. Matty Taylor will have no resale value but could get us 70 goals over his contract. No reason why Stockton couldn't do the same, and it he gets most of those goals in the Championship for us then £650k will be peanuts. And we're definitely not ignoring other positions. I think we'll being in 3 or 4 new players and will be stronger throughout the team.

Any news on Matt Stevens Eggy?

 

[PottersRightBoot]

Let’s get Chey back

 

[tatabanya]

Any news on Matt Stevens Eggy?

Absolutely no chance are we going to sign a striker who has signed a new contract in this transfer window.

 

[unification]

But our model is a mix of strategies..

We sign some who are clearly potential signings (Atkinson etc), some are about the ‘here and now’.

Stockton falls more into the ‘hear and now’ category, he can come in and make an immediate difference. He’s match fit and in form.

I really hope we get him.

I agree it's not either/or. For every Atkinson, you need a Henry or Matty Taylor.

Considering the outlay, I wonder whether that money is better invested in more sellable options to keep us ticking over. The profits we've made on players like Roofe, Johnson, O'Dowda, Dickie etc have allowed to shop for the next stars. I don't want that to get lost by us gambling on flavour-of-the-month signings whose resale value is going to be limited.

Will Grigg looked like a home banker for Sunderland and look how that ended up ...

 

[Pompeyyellows]

Trust me when I walk around Pompey city centre i don't see much sign of Pompey fc. Saying that you do see loads of fans wearing shirts jackets etc. You also don't see many other teams shirts, unless you go in the sports shops which are full of premiership teams shirts.
