January Transfer Window

[WeAreQPR12]

I completely and utterly agree with David on this. Burnley and Sunderland are very much in with a great chance of promotion too. If they fail to go up what a shitty deal it would be for dunne. I don't see sheff utd as an upgrade to us and that's not me being bias I just think we could be competing with them in a playoff chase the following season. Wilder plays dire football and we have a progressive manager that allows dunne to roam forward and score goals. Personally it isn't a good enough club if we're being realistic.

Even if we do bend reality a tad and say that Sheff Utd and QPR are currently equal on footballing terms (in truth we are not as good as them currently) there is no doubt that their parachute payments allow them to offer much higher salaries and we would all move job for same work with higher wage. Whether I'd want to live in Sheffield though, that'd be the clincher for me.

A further twist, we are now in for Sheff Utd full back Femi Seriki:

Imo we either sell him today or extend his contract today cant allow to walk for free for the sake of a few games when were not far from safety and not really going to make top 6 with or without him

It's not in our hands after 11pm. We can't make Dunne sign a new deal and he'd have seen the wages/deal Blades had on the table. That offer will likely still be there in June plus a signing on bonus equivalent to the fee they didn't spend today. Why would he sign for us tomoz when he can sit back and assess multiple offers in June?
If he hadn't signed with us by midday we really ought to have taken whatever money over £500K we could chisel out of them.
Any questions about is Sheffield United much of an upgrade is irrelevant. Players follow the money... Dieng, Armstrong, Willock and many many more too. As for snide comments about living in Sheffield, well that's just ignorant. As with all cities/regions... there are nice posh bits. I'm not convinced a young family with kids would want to live in the overcrowded congested stabby sprawl that is London anyway? London might appeal to a young single "playah" obsessed with training shoes and Instagram THOTs but beyond that demographic I'd doubt it has much pull.

I think the snide conment was aimed at me. I said nothing derogatory about Sheffield other than that I wouldn't want to live there.

Confirmed Holding to Sheff Utd. They've gone for a Dunne alternative.

Anything re Harvey Vale? I presumed he was going to be signed as a replacement for paal who must be off in the summer. Vale would have been a good option between now and may but seems like it was just paper talk as I don't even think the lad had his medical did he??

Only a loan signing though, all set up for Jimmy to go there in the summer?

Hopefully, it will be announced before tomorrow's game that he's extended his contract with us. If not, then Dunne out and his £30k a week goes to Dunne. I'm glad he's still with us......if there's a chance he'll sign a new contract.

Unless the sell on clause demanded by Chelsea was just too much. Hopefully Vale will now sign for us in the summer as a free agent with no strings attached.
