Transfer Window January 2024 Transfer Window Thread

He was a bit of an idiot to say the least, a massive Man United fan who constantly said they were going to rule the world once the Qataris took over.
I believe he eventually got banned after becoming too much of an idiot even by the standards of this forum.

If he was still posting now then he would make even some of Kip’s comments seem sane!

He wasn’t to bad on Oxford when he had Man U and the Qataris to rant on about, think I remember some randomness about how his son could never be gay as he played golf or some such nonsense.

 

[Mystery Yellow]

I have no idea what the answer to this is but who was the last L1 footballer to go for £4m ?

Liam Kitching 25 year old Left Back from Barnsley to Coventry £5M last summer (time we start getting theses fees for both potential & what he’s producing now)

 

[arthurturner]

Teams pay for potential, plus attackers go for a lot more than defenders. Tyler isn’t the finished article but he is already easily worth between 2.5 & 3 million quid.
Plus a player is worth what a club say he is, if TG is the difference between championship football (an extra 7-10 million in revenue) or staying in league 1 then the club aren’t going to let him go for peanuts.

The fact he won’t be going anywhere does mean this conversation is slightly pointless.

Isn't Goodrham the future as we march on to the Championship and the new stadium ? Isn't this the vision of our owners? Surely we are not going to sell the best home produced player we have had for years just to make a couple of million quid. That's pocket money to them. They have a vision and Goodrham must be part of that.

Ah yeah, the comments of how is son wasn’t gay…that was another strange episode of the yellowsforum soap opera.

How can you watch Goodrham week in week out and come to the conclusion he’s worth just 1m? He’s scoring ridiculous goals on a regular, he’s 20 years old and he’s just signed a long term contract. In this market and in the middle of the season, I’d want 2.5m MINIMUM. Let’s show some backbone for once and not get pushed over.

Some people on here need to get of the wacky backy.
We've just signed a 21 year old striker for 400k.
You think a 20 year old winger is going to command a fee around 2.5m.
As for 4m, people are living in cloud cuckoo land.
A dose of reality is needed.

And people are mistaking me for this guy?

Worrying.

The difference is that winger has proven himself far more than the striker, and has had 1,5 years of good football, goodwin has had just .5

Unfortunately every club at our level is a selling club and someone bigger will want your best talent.
It’s been part of our model for a good few years now, look at players like Roofe, Rothwell, Dickie, McNally, Baptist, O’Dowda, Atkinson, Fosu.
Since 2016 we have received £19.48million in transfer fees. Our club, with very very little income streams, rely on player trading.

On the flip side, in the same period we have spent a total of £1.86million and £465k was on Goodwin and £225k on Cam Bran.

He's quality and we have precious little of that. If we were to sell him we would only have to spend the money on a replacement of unknown quality. We're not a feeder club so that other clubs can prosper. If that were the limit of our owners ambitions, what are they building us a multi million pound state of the art stadium for?

Dont sell then.

 

[Jster]

Maybe Dale was signed as the Goodrham replacement. (Just sayin'.)

 

[Bornyellow]

Looking like Dale on a permanent deal & 2 loans is the plan for tomorrow.

Sounds like Wrexham are favourites to sign Marriott.

Harry Leonard the alternative?

 

[Andy1505]

Dale on a permanent, then get a striker and keeper on loan?!

 

[Bitter]

I think Baldy was before my time, was he notorious?

Oh yes. For all things ManUtd.

EPL - Baldy - an apology

Whether the Qataris win the bid or not (it seems likely they will) for Manchester United I think a posthumous apology to Baldy is due. Ridiculing him for his foresight and vision all those years ago that the Qataris are coming was a forum past time. How apt if Baldy’s headstone in the forum...

I follow a lot of different accounts and do my best to keep up with a very decent amount of deals, and this account seems to be a go to place for Wrexham transfer news from what I have seen. Of course not saying 100% but from what I can remember they have been spot on quite a few times.

Have you just had a ‘did I really say that?!’ moment?

They still never bought the club.

From what Des was saying about a striker who can play as winger, it sounds as if we weren't actually in for him ourselves, despite the Alan Nixon stuff?
