    Fair play, you're not wrong. I just don't think this lad looks like a Stewart replacement. I'll hold my hands up if he signs and proves me wrong.

    This tells you what kind of value Ballard should have

    To be fair I'd say that if we are signing this lad, then it will be as the third striker behind Simms and Gelhardt, rather than the second one.

    At which point I'd expect it to be permanent and not a loan. It wouldn't be the first time our permanent signings have been reported as loans, mostly due to the fact they seem unlikely.

    If we wanted to sell any of our players, they must be worth a fortune like. In a year or two, Ballard could go for 20 odd million

    Probably a load of bollocks anyway.

    Can't have ever been in for him if he's ended up at Oxford.

    Glad in a way we haven't gone for Konate. We may have been interested up until Stewarts injury but now we are hopefully turning our attention on two out and out forwards rather than someone who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger.

    No I believe we would have been, but only permanently. Forest clearly didnt want to sell him permanently (I think I saw they wanted £10m) so have loaned instead.

    If he's loaned to league one then he's clearly not ready for us anyway. By all accounts he's another attacking midfielder / wide player so couldn't see the benefit anyway

    He’s also got 4 in 4 in the pizza cup against league clubs, and a goal contribution every 150 minutes this season, sounds pretty good to me.

    I’d be going all out for Undav but doesn’t seem like it’ll happen. Not going to lie I’ll be disappointed if the kid from Arsenal is the only striker we bring in but they’ve pulled it out the bag nine times out of ten with transfers so can’t really write them off just yet.

    Agreed. Don't think we were in for him anyway. Out of the positions we need strengthening, attacking midfielder isn't really it.

    I'd call that a good swap. Gallagher is a better player. He scores and makes more goals, already an England International and is the same age.

    I thought the Saudis would have been for him TBH.

    His value is boosted by very good world cup performances.

    From FFP perspective no. They’d recognise 40m profit on sale of Gordon immediately (given he was a youth team player therefore no net book value). But the loss in the accounts this year for Gallagher would be 8m on the assumption he’s given a 5 year contract. So would still have room to work with this window.

    Also probably plenty cash available still this window, given the mags paid 40m in one go, which is rare. Most fees are kinda in line with depreciation so Everton unlikely to pay 40m cash to Chelsea this month, maybe 10-15
