Transfer News January 2021/22 Transfer Window

Probably Twitter nonsense but Connor Wickham mentioned currently on a short term contract at Preston, had a bad knee injury a couple of years ago..

Connor Wickham is one of those players that everyone thinks is good because he looked like he might be decent as a teenager, and because he's been part of Premier League squads for the bulk of his career so has a bit of name recognition.

But the facts are that he's now 28 years old, he's barely scored 50 goals over the course of his entire career - and he's totalled about 40 starts over the past six seasons.

Over on the Rotherham match thread, I've been droning on about my theory that we are going to have to take a punt on a striker to back up Matty T - we're not going to find a sure thing that we can afford - but there's risks worth taking and then there's crocks like Wickham.

Hard pass - there's surely better options out there than him!

He's a pretty good hold up player though from memory. Brings others into the game. But yeah if he's a crock we should probably avoid.
 
Getting back to the left back back up setback. I was very impressed with Ogbeta when we played Shrewsbury.
 
Type of player who would be brilliant competition for Taylor. Always rated him at Wimbledon. Wouldn’t judge him on what’s happened at Ipswich ..

That would be proper s**t or bust by Hollywood FC. Mullin is supposedly on £6k a week, 3 year contract with them. Made 34 yo Ben Tozer an offer he couldn't refuse and paid around £200k for him from Cheltenham. There were plenty of others so their wage bill must dwarf plenty of L2 and some L1 clubs.

FFP?
 
Having watched the much mentioned Norwood play for Ipswich against Barrow, I think we will not bother with him. He wasn't given much to work with by his team mates, but even so he looked a player well past it.
 
Not in the National League although that may be coming in next season hence why loads of clubs are going for it this season.

Not sure how it’ll balance out with the finances etc. but Wrexham fans have certainly got behind the “project” with outstanding gates for that level.
