Transfer News January 2018 Transfer Window Rumours

Id be on the phone to walsall enquiring about Erhun Oztumer. I think he’s out of contract in the summer.

He’s creative, and chips in with goals. £250k that’s what I’d offer. Depends on clauses mind.

Good player and I honestly couldn't guess his value, but I'd be very surprised if we could get him. In any case, I imagine though if he were to join, you have the same problem of being stuck in a 4-2-3-1 that we had with Payne. Can he play anywhere else but no.10? Genuinely don't know.

I would like a creative midfielder though, or at least someone who can consistently dictate the play from the middle the way Lunny could in the past, as I don't think we've had that all season. I'd probably want that more than a no.10.

Great L1 player. Aside from most of the Wigan team, Oztumer is the best L1 player I have seen this season. If we are interested in him that will mean he ends up at Barnsley.....

Wow, you must be rich. Sod the clauses. Buy him for us.
 
MY point is if he is indeed out of contract in the summer, then surely Walsall would cash in, rather than lose him for nothing. If we are the only one’s to make an offer, then why not sell him to us. They Walsall don’t have to play us again this season. We have already shown we have the cash bidding 500k for Kieffer Moore, we pay half of that, and sell him on a year later for a ridiculous profit. That’s the model right...

I was under the impression Brannagan was a creative midfielder from various comments made about him.

Yeah, he might well be to be fair. Apologies, I probably should've acknowledged that, hope he fills that void. In truth, I wasn't sure if he was a CM, a no. 10 or winger. He seems to have played all 3 spots at different times from what I have seen/heard. Sounded similar to Rothwell, who wants to be, and is known as a CM, but whose skills seem to suit a no.10 role more (at least to me it seems that way). Hopefully Brannagan works best in the centre of the park and the team fits together better.
 
Day of the long knives...a shame ..the quality of parent club didn't rub off on us
 
Looks like Eales is back in the country and listening to the backroom staff finally.

Kane coming to us looks more likely than ever now.

Xemi did look technically gifted and clearly has talent if given time on the ball (at times), but that's not going to happen in an English league. Bet a second tier club on the continent will snap him up. Good luck to the lad.
 
Did we not need a specialist right back rather than left back?
Yes specialist right back. That would free up Canice to play (or be cover for) CB or defensive midfield (where MAP thought he would be best). He doesn't look comfortable at full back playing next to a touchline.
