Jan Transfer Window

[SheepRanger]

Im not sure we have plenty of cover in that position - Hayden can't last a game and varanes injury record isn't great.

Morgan proved the other week he isn't ready to play there.

Who else is there? Edwards he did play in midfield a game or 2 last season.

Dunne has played defensive mid in the past.

But whatever the cover, Field isnt getting game time and we're doing okay without him. In an ideal world im sure bigger teams would keep him, but we've brought in two new signings in Jan. Im sure this a risk based decission with a huge eye on the budget.

Hes behind Verane, Haydon and Morgan. We have plenty of cover for defensive mid and probably need to free up wages for Edwards' salary. Just cost costing on a fringe player. Field gone will probably cover half of Edwards' wages

"Sam Field is undergoing a medical at Norwich City after they agreed to sign him on loan from Queens Park Rangers, sources have told Football Insider.
Derby County and Charlton Athletic were also in the running to sign the 27-year-old but the Canaries have moved quickly to beat them to an agreement."

As of now, half 4ish, there have been 14 fairly piddly moves today across the whole 72-team EFL. Not exactly a frenzy of activity is it!?

[Abseits]

Sam's performances just haven't been up to scratch for at least 18 months. No idea why that is, maybe he needs to be a regular starter to keep himself in the groove? Anyhow, if he can get more starts elsewhere I'd say it makes sense for him to go.

Yes - don’t get it..unless he wants to go. We don’t have a lot of depth in that position.

unless Ronnie moves forward

[cross it Dave]

Big mistake unless someone else is coming in.

Anything going to happen today?


One of hte clickbait sites says Ipswich are interested in Kone which is obviously not going to happen!


Maybe Nardi will move on but can't see much more happening.

We have spent out money on Edwards i guess

Who'd want Nardi? He's too young to be a "fake 2nd choice" and not reliable enough to be a No.1? We would be okay with just Walsh and Hamer as emergency rules let you loan in a goalie anytime they're injured. The caveat is that the loanee has to be less experienced than the existing backup goalie, ie Hamer who's 40+yrs old isn't he? So, in an emergency, we can loan in virtually any GK that is available cos they'll be younger than Hamer.

I wonder if we'll see Nardi and Varane leaving by the end of Monday. I think the French club after Varane are looking at some West Ham player now because they don't like the price we've quoted. I haven't seen any club linked to Nardi, but he seems third choice now.

[LordLoftus]

He’s hardly played & been mostly in the dev squad, christ give the boy a chance & let him develop & get used to the championship & that goes with a few of our players

Agreed and when he came on and played right mid in one of those games he looked tidy then.
I think there might be something there with him, just give him time and some more first team experience.

Scattergun approach to signing Aussies continues- hoping one will stick!
