themanupstairs Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Austin being touted around again. Just buy him - we have a good record with forwards from QPR and I think he'd do well. Got to be a paltry sum now. We shouldn't be spending anywhere near 10m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Exactly with you. Redmond over Townsend any day of the week. If we're talking English players - Iorfa, Will Hughes, and Nathan Redmond. Who's Iorfa? Wolves fullback. Plays on the U21s. I randomly pay attention to the u21s when some of the bigger players were getting call ups there the other summer. Yup, he's a very promising left back. I'd prefer Sam Byram personally though. Thought he played right back, the few times I saw him he was on the right. I liked that he's f***ing big at 6 foot 2 and looks pacy and strong. He does, but assuming we want a young full back who can play further up the pitch, he'd be the one I'd go for. Mind you we're short on both sides aren't we? Yep, I'd actually love for us to sign Jetro Willems to play LB - a brilliant passer, crosser of the ball from PSV who we've been linked with a ton. I'd then love for us to sign Iorfa to play RB / compete with Janmaat. Obviously I'd like for us to sign a CB, CM (x2), and some wingers as well. Basically a whole new team Isn't Jetro injured? He just came back from injury Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he sign for us now when he gets his pick in the summer. Your post suggested we simply had to bid enough which is bollocks tbh.

Stal Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 11 days until we buy a new player? 11 days until we start releasing stories about a transfer summit and then a slow drip feeding of stories to dampen expectations over the whole of January. This is exactly what I think will happen. mcclaren has already started the drip feed with his "we haven't spoken about January" bulldust. I would say he HAS had conversations about it (simply because he is in charge of a team and even with his limitations he will clearly know which areas need upgrades), but has been told by the regime to start the dampening of expectations exercise. I fully expect to start seeing the moncur "we can do it with the players we have" articles appearing in the chronicle soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Klaus, that player you really don't want to sell... Yeah, we really want to buy him, so you can slap an extra 7 or 8 million onto what you would have otherwise considered.

Jesse Pinkman Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Considering the club won't buy until we sell. Apparently its policy not to have more than 25 players on the books, then let's hope he is moved on quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 McClaren: “You know that this is a private club that doesn’t do it’s business through the media or publicly. So there are things going on behind-the-scenes and we keep them very quiet. “(We’ll) focus on the two games we have got before the January window opens and even then we keep everything private and confidential. No doubt you (the media) will speculate as much as possible but we will say nothing is happening until it does.” He was definitely told to shut the fuck up.

And I would have no issue as such with this, except the club has set precedent in this area by lowering expectations and not buying anyone at all. There is nothing wrong with him saying "things are always discussed behind the scenes but we don't discuss it publically". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
