January 2019 Transfer Thread

Wouldn’t it be nice to derail Orient chances, and keep them in the Non Lge.

Would be nice but can’t see it happening, he’ll cost far too much for us. If we get anyone I reckon it’ll be another loan from a prem or champ academy

won't cost too much, Contract expires in summer. Probably looking at 150-300k

If you talking about Bonne, their chairman has already said it would cost over £1m to get him.

 

[Shosho]

Just broke into the starting 11, so doubt they would.

Macaulay Bonne and James Norwood 2 names being thrown about.

Not hot on Norwood, not sure we should be ploughing significant money into a 28yo striker.

Bonne would also cost as has a longer contract with the chairman stating promotion is worth more

Norwood’s contract is up in the summer so might not be loads + Tranmere have just agreed terms for a new ST so may be expecting him to leave.

 

[Oufcrealist]

Not sure Norwood could play the lone striker role, not a big man.

A good article about Norwood here

He might not be that tall but he’s a strong player that likes to put himself about and put defenders under pressure. An upgrade on Mackie in that respect.
And he scores goals, lots of goals.

Didn't realise 28 was old.

 

[Itsthehopethatkillsyou]

Jeez this obsession with youth , 28 isn't old - anyway if he comes here all we want right now is goals and safety from relegation. I Don't care if he's a half a season wonder and bit duff next year (still would be a better squad player than Beeks and Smith lol) so long as we are in league 1 having built a stronger squad in the summer (with at least another 2 strikers added or youth teamers making the step up)

(this is the transfer window when we finally get Jack Midson back lol)

 

[Shosho]

This is the first season Norwood has scored consistently outside of the conference.

If we can get him cheap, he’s worth a punt. If we are shelling out for him, I don’t think that money is best spent on a player that is on the wrong side of the age curve.

The funny thing is, the current style we play (hoof the ball up front to Mackie) would've suited midson down to the ground. He had great link up plauy as a cf. He was rather unfortunate that he played as a wideman in a front three that didn't suit his style. I guess some would say similar to hemmings, never saw the best of him because he was deployed in a system that never favoured his style.

Rhys Healey on loan from Cardiff as MK Dons are about to return him. Not sure about his current form, looks a bit like a slightly better Sam Smith

That’s like saying 2 x 0 is better than 1 x 0 ...

How many does Oxbible get right? When words like ‘likely’ and ‘uncomfirmed’ And that good old term when it comes to made up rumours ‘are set to sign..’are used I tend to switch off.

Having said that, the lad from WH has come out of left field.

That OxBible post feels like a mud fling based on reading gossip rather than an ITK post.
