January transfer thread

Basically saying nowt!

 

Nixon....

 

Why? We have an abundance of midfielder's?

 

Good chance we’ll let at least a couple go, possibly on loan. Matete and Dajaku you’d imagine.

 

Unless we are loaning some out. Can't say I know much about Buckley tbh

Out of contract at the end of the season. Aged 23

 

Strengths through balls and key passes

weakness passing

 

Hes a good player and is more like evans than our other midfielders - plus has played plenty at this level. Id let matete go out on loan and im not confident that michut will do much for us so would def take buckley

 

Matete is a strange one, arrived with rave reviews from the Fleetwood fans but hasn't really kicked on. I think we got him on a long term contract as well so they must see potential in him. I'm not expecting to see the best of Michut or Ba until next season, a loan to L1 might be good for them

 

Totally forgot about him

 

Buckley would be a younger version of Evans which I think we can all see would be a good thing to have

 

Buckley is on a contract till 2027 with a 1 year option

 

I actually like matete but a loan move to a big L1 club would be good for his development. We wont be able to loan michut out, hes technically good but has zero physicality. Ba still has a part to play this season imo

 

Isn't Michut here on loan? Seen very little of him spent a lot of time with niggling injuries hasn't he?

 

The niggly injuries Michut is picking up would indicate the physicality is his biggest challenge to overcome.

I'm quite excited for the window tbh, I'm not surprised clubs are interested in our players, they are bloody good.

Might be a few South American versions of these lads coming in January if the fan meeting minutes are anything to go by. Looks like that is a market they are seriously looking at. (Nee idea on work permits with Brexit and all that crap through)

 

Yes, he is on loan with the option for us to sign him at the end of the season.

 

I heard rumours about a peru winger coming in plus ryan porteous of hibs been linked.

Im the same as you in terms of excitement, we have a great team in place.

Ive sent a couple scouting reports to the club so hoping they review the players i sent them further

 

Do you send your reports in off your own back or have you got an idea of who/what type of players/positions they are looking at? Does the club get back to you?

 

Just off my own back, never had a response from anyone at the club. Lee johnson did get back to me which was class of him but nothing since.

I do work for a european team so watch loads of games for them and if i come across a player that suits our style of play plus english football i send to the club

Been watching loads of u19 European youth league this yr so sent a huge reports on some great young prospects

 

Hopefully a few come off for you mate. Shame the club don't at least acknowledge the effort, even just to say 'thanks but we are already on it' kind of thing. Would love to have a job like yours tbh.

 

Yeah its frustrating at times but they probably get 100s of emails from folk saying the same stuff.

I actually sent them a report on broadhead a couple weeks before they signed him .

Its pretty cool identifying a player then the club actually bidding on them of your advice n reports.

I only do it part time at the minute but would love to do full time at some point.

Players to watch from my reports:
Konate - CF salzburg
Ndour - cm benfica
Rijkhoff - cf dortmund
Kamara - cdm dortmund
