January Transfer Rumours

[ConorQPR2000]

Looks like we could have room now to make one or two loan signings.

Marti I think has talked about us being creative this month, it seems like the board might have answered his plea.

Question is who now comes?

It will be interesting to see of a possible loan deal for Dozzell is only made to free up costs to stay inside the FFP limits, or if it is part of a squad remake where it frees up funds for a more needed loan signing such as Tim Iroegbunam.

Depending on what source you trust the most, Dozzell is paid anything from £11k to £13k a week. If he is paid £12k, and a loan deal technically lasts until 30 June, we will free up around £250k in salaries. On top of that, we might cash in a loan fee of similar level, so all in all up to £500k if we are lucky. Dozzell contract ends on 30 June, but we have an option to extend by one year. Transfermarkt values him at £1.2m. I would not rule out QPR is trying to convince B'ham to go for a straight acquisition rather than a loan deal.

Dozzell has been consistently selected by all five managers he has played for during his time at QPR - Warburton, Beale, Critchley, Ainsworth and Cifuentes. Tony Mowbray is one of the best and most experienced manager in the Championship. If his first signing for B'ham turns out to be Dozzell, it adds to a list of managers that rate Dozzell.

I think many fans are too critical of Dozzell. He has some limitations, but he is definitely better than many give him credit for. I refuse to accept that all these six managers are clueless and we as fans are much more knowledgeable about football.

Half Dozzell issues are he always looks lazy and knackered, his limitations are lacks pace the ability to open up a defence score goals from midfield but that applies to the rest of midfield

I'll give him credit where its due he's a better crosser of a ball than paal who's possibly worse than an under 9 he's shat at them

We all know we need better than what we have and if he goes to free up a better option so be it

He's been a better servant than Richards

Hopefully this will come off. Fair play to Dozzell for keeping fit and making himself available for selection during his time with us but just hasn't worked out in the main. Maybe Birmingham will suit him better.

Getting his wages off our salary bill, even forgetting any loan fee, will be huge and if we are allowed to spend it could get a couple of loans in. We will see.

Tell them that Richards is the championships answer to David silva and he can go with dozzell but we can't stand in his way of his desire to get his dream move to real Madrid. Birmingham will be a stepping stone to him getting back to man city and then heading off to Spain to dominate and take the spotlight off of belingham..

[rodman]

The 24-year-old has 2 goals and an assist to his name and looks forward to create chances when he has the ball.
In Tony Mowbray’s first two games as Blues manager, it seems that he wants his centre midfielders to think quickly and get the ball forward,
Dozzell could potentially be the answer.

don't say a word, in case they change their mind.

[Superranger]

Will drive Dozzell to Birmingham tomorrow and not even charge him the petrol money. Having said that, knowing our luck he'll go there and be the second coming of Taarabt

[shaggy24]

I'll drop him off. Any chance Richards can go with him? Dozzell has all the ability but no desire to grab the game by the balls. I'm amazed a club in this league wants him. Too lightweight and allows the game to pass him by. Hoping we get tim in as a replacement..

I can only assume Mowbray knows him from Ipswich days

Personally I think he's pony sadly he's still better than other options at the club but overall a bloody awful signing

Below states we have a 12 month option on Dozzell in the summer. If Brum like him then there will be a fee in the summer.

[SheepRanger]

A Dozzell loan fee must be quite decent considering his contract is up in the summer. He's effectly left the club I would guess.

[ConorQPR2000]

Rumour that Dozzell set to sign for Birmingham on loan for rest of season. So must be incoming, think this is what Marti meant when he said we need to be creative in window.

Also, I think Dozzell is one of our highest earners, think hes on something like £13k per week if im not mistaken, also I'd imagine Birmingham would cover his wages and offer a loan fee as well, could be some sensible business from the club.

If thats the case then we maybe have the space now to go and look for one or two loan deals,
