Transfer News January 2021/22 Transfer Window

[BeechRoadBokelberg]

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

Maybe Wednesday would be interested in Thorniley for a short term fix aswell?

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.”

We had plans for all eventualities last season that ended with us signing Grayson as cover for LB and left side CB, please KR don't do anything like that again!!

 

[WokinghamYellow]

This is Karl at his absolute worst. We were very short before Thorniley was recalled. Now we are wafer thin..

What are we playing at this window?

I would think it’s KR finally keeping his cards close to his chest otherwise agents will be ramping up CB prices for us if they think we are desperate

It isn’t a yes to either question.

Will Arimtage and an unarmed Premier League club.

He’ll be hoping over teams are shot-shy too.

So that's another day wasted jumping between this thread and Cookie Jam.

Who the f**k are Cookie Jam? Also, have they signed anyone yet?

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

Whilst I understand Karl can't exactly go out and say 'we'll definitely bring in a replacement CB before the window shuts', the past lack of defensive reinforcements doesn't fill me with hope.

Long can't be our cover for CB if he's also our first choice RB, and if something happens to Moore or McNally after the window shuts without a replacement brought in, we're screwed

I agree here - happy with both McNally and Moore but if one of them gets injured we are buggered with Long are only option (Don’t think Mous is an option). Moving your first choice right back to centre half isn’t a sign of a promotion chasing outfit. Think we need another option in there as well as a ball winning midfielder and a striker IMO.

Jordon T…just a pawn in the game of life?

I thought Moore already got injured, on Saturday hence why he was substituted at half time.

Definitely need another centre half then!

Exactly this. I'm hopeful we will get someone and they'll be decent but we've been paper thin defensively for a few seasons now. It's been ok because we've got away with it with no big injuries or suspensions, as well as having Mous still able to play a bit, but at some point our luck could run out.

Theres the truth of the matter .

That’s 16 year old Will Armitage who has been on loan with Evesham! Over £100k.
The world’s gone mad.

It transpires that the Defoe deal was done on Thursday. However, on Friday the chairman refused to sign it off. £6,000 per week was the wage and that figure is what the chairman refused to agree to.
