Transfer News January 2021/22 Transfer Window

[BigCrompy]

Mr Kip has a point. I’d rather see players come in earlier, and settle in, and get used to playing with different players. Building chemistry, and understandings.

I'd rather the best players we can possibly get.

Timeframe, largely irrelevant.

 

[Foley]

Yes it’s just a case of whether we want to or believe we should. Obviously I would say that…

Blackpool appear to be playing games.
It is extremely unlikely that they will get CB if they don't pay the buy out clause.
If they really want him why don't they pay up? I wonder if this could even make CB wonder if they really want him?

 

[Pompeyyellows]

I think the reason why not a lot is happening in this window so far is because KR is waiting to see what happens with CB. If he goes that will ultimately change his transfer targets and budget. i hope CB stays and gets us promoted, but if he goes then i hope KR has a plan B or even C

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Presumably, the clause about limiting the time in the window when the buy out clause can be activated is still in force. At least if CB goes we should then have enough time to shore up the midfield.

It seems to take us forever to tie up a deal though!

Blackpool are sending out these feeler messages in the hope of getting CB to force a move (and at a reduced cost).

It's not a classy tactic.

It does, but *hopefully* if we do have any leavers, we will already at least have some ideas about who we are going to sign!

It’s also a futile tactic.

The value of the buy-out clause was mutually agreed between club and player.

 

[WRox]

Perhaps, although Forss has played for them more recently and I would imagine would cost just as much if not more thank Archer wages wise

I’d imagine Forss would cost significantly more in wages than Archer. Either would theoretically be affordable in terms of salary but it’s tough to imagine us paying a six-figure loan fee for someone we couldn’t expect to ever join permanently. Both will move to the Championship at or worst, Archer may move to one of the L1 clubs operating with a Champs budget.

I'd prefer KR to have a plan CB

'Believe you should'?

If you don't believe you should, then, as the saying goes, jog on.

 

[gingerox]

Wonder if KR has spoken with Kieran Agard.

Thought it was a decent shout too, but has just joined Doncaster:

I get what your saying, but you could bring in the best players possible, and they can’t function together. We have to bring in players that first of all want to be here, and players that buy into our way. I don’t want us to bring players in, that just want to pick up a pay cheque.

 

[Oxford1996]

Jordan Shipley being linked

 

[Mintyshoe]

Jordan Ibe is a free agent, recently left Derby County by mutual consent. Sadly he has cited depression which is probably the reason he's taken a break from the game, but a move to Oxford could reignite his career as it has done with so many young talents over the last few years.

Still relatively young at 26, I'd back KR to bring the best out of him. At this level that could be a scary prospect, but he'd have to accept a significantly lower wage than his previous few contracts - not unreasonable given his lack of activity.

Jordan Shipley being linked

Seems Cov fans are desperate to get rid of him.
