    I think something’s happening with Fullah which could generate some funds
    The funds we'd get for selling Fullah wouldn't even be enough to buy someone from League 1. 

    Crazy.
    Out of curiosity, how much would demand for him?
     I suspect very little, with respect as of yet he’s not achieved anything at 1st team level. 
    Would be selling him based off his potential though... If teams want him, they can pay through the nose for him, otherwise we keep him, see him (ideally) get better, and then can sell him for more - We need to stop thinking like a charity case, given the money that gets thrown around from the Premier League now.
    Completely agree, we do tend to get our pants pulled down in these situations, I don’t think he has played enough or had the impact like maybe, Lookman, Gomez, Shelvey for examples did at the time they were sold, which is why I’m saying I don’t think he’d fetch as much. I’m guessing inner football circles have known of him for a long time so would be more on top of his potential value and whether it’s worth going big on him.we can’t be giving players away anymore though.
    I do hope, given the club's stance on Lloyd Jones with Wycombe this time last year, means that they're no mugs, and other than complying with whatever FFP these days, to push up the League... We dont really NEED to sell him at the moment.
    And TC too, there were PL clubs sniffing about 
    Do you think the same prem clubs feel the same way after watching him so far this season?, don’t want to turn this into  a TC popularity post though.
    Possibly not but he would always have been a speculative punt to flip rather than a first team contender. Fullah is different, two good seasons in the Championship and he could be on the fringes of a newly promoted teams squad you’d think 
    Let’s hope so, he certainly looks a better prospect than Bairstow for example. But I’d still like to see more of him, I’ve no doubt he looks good, however we do tend to get a bit excited about our own so I’m being cautious in overhyping him, IMO he needs to nail down a starting spot to really prove the hype around him from some of our support.
    Need to see him in a bit of a settled position as well, his involvement feels extremely shoe horned at the moment - Feel like the Carey role behind the Strikers or wide like Campbell would be his best role... But he's played both those places, AND Left Wing-Back this season.
    I think he needs to be central, looks to be able to pick a pass and not shy of a tackle, I just want to see TC allowed to concentrate on being and improving as a winger, the experiment hasn’t worked with him IMO. I feel like NJ tries to make players something they are not at times. Obviously he knows better, but that how I feel.
    Fundamental problem is that NJ does not play with wingers. So TC is being played at wingback or striker,  neither of which suit him. Can see him leaving out of frustration if the opportunity arises for him.
    Might upset a few, but if the money is right I’d be inclined to take it, let someone else try to teach him to pass,cross and shoot.
  • LWB and a striking partner for Kelman needed. Better defensive cover too. 

    If we're able to, I'd want to see if we can shift on the likes of Tanto, Berry, Gillesphey etc. to get better squad players. 
    Feels a bit harsh/premature on Tanto. Granted he currently can't finish a one on one to save his life but has brought other stuff to games and think he needs time (and a run in the side) to develop

    Neither of which we have in the Championship unfortunately. 

    If we're getting in another striker that would put Tanto in competition behind Kelman, Leaburn, Godden, Campbell, New Striker, Kanu and Mbick. 

    Which would be fine if he were 17-19, he's 26.

    All fair points, the age in particular is a strange one in terms of when we signed him - comments from Challinor and Stockport fans at the time were bang on, so we knew we were getting very much not the finished article. The signing makes a lot more sense if he is 5+ years younger as you say.

    For me we need an upgrade/rotation for Leaburn ie a target man. Don't think recalling Mbick or Kanu is the right decision and TC's game is to drift wide. Tanto can serve as decent rotation for the Kelman (/Godden if he is ever fit again) role, but also has a bit more size and strength to offer alongside them if needed

    From Rich and Louis's podcast 

    Striker is a definite target to strengthen, RCB mentioned to Rich. 

    Fukuda has signed a new deal according to a japanese journo - Japanese clubs have a half season tournament coming up and a schedule change.

    Ramsay off then? Unless we move Ramsay to Right wing back.

    Probably for depth so we don’t end up down shit creek again

    Or injured longer than expected?

    We can’t rely on Burke, and it would give us more cover for Jones too.

    Unless there's doubts about Burkes fitness and NJ is looking to loan out Josh Laq or Gough?

    Not a rumour but Alfie Doughty LWB. Only six games for Millwall, injured or not fancied? Hooked after 75'  today. Experienced and still young.

    Played for Luton.

    A centre forward is an absolute must. Left wing back and right wing back as well. Ideally it would also be good to add someone in that midfield as well. Carey, JRC +1.

    I assume you are joking right. I would rather have a Yorkshire pudding at left wing back than him.

    I hate transfer windows just as much as I hate VAR. Not many clubs will do any business that helps themselves or others. Just get rid of transfer windows. It's unnecessary and cause more problems than it solves. We got loads of injuries in late November and have had to spend 6 weeks putting band-aids on a bleeding main artery. Go back to letting clubs buy and sell players whenever they like except from about mid-March.

    Kelman is looking good ATM he needs help up there imo an attacker that is fast strong and cause danger but they cost a lot of money,over to you money men it could be a gamble it may cost over the odds but it would help this team massively along with better wingbacks and a forward thinking mid although jrc is starting to cook something so might not be as urgent.

    At the game today, my brother was chatting to the fella behind him at half time, turns out his son is one of the coaches at Charlton for one of the younger sides, rumour is Anderson is going out on loan to a league 1 side to get some game time. This fella said we werent looking at signing a midfielder in this window but that was before the Anderson news. 🤷‍♂️

    I wonder, NJ absolutely loves Karoy - would he sanction a loan to Luton to go and work under Wilshire for the rest of the season and play regularly? 

    Would mean we'd have to add someone because I wouldn't be comfortable with what we would have then.

    Hopefully good for Karoy if true. He offers something different to Doc and Coventry but nothing wrong with a loan spell to get him regular gametime.

    Are People suggesting plucking the best of league 1 not watching our team?, we’ve done that already and a lot of people are saying how they haven’t stepped up, so why on earth fish in that same pond. We are not in a position to gamble on unproven players now. Proven experience or undoubted talent is required, where that is I don’t know, hope NJ and Phil C do.
    The problem is that our ability to attract players with reasonable levels of Championship experience are normally broken goods in some way/shape/form. We can bypass that to some extent with any players that NJ has previously worked with positively (the Luton players), but can we attract decent Championship players yet whilst we are still at risk of relegation? The answer is generally no - they can look at our drop in form, our demanding manager and the challenge that we have for the next few months and just think they don't fancy that. One would assume that we have identified a few players that might be out of favour / want to play etc., but we still end up with the same fitness / form challenges we've had previously. We don't really have time for players to take a month to get up to speed.

    There's plenty of players that we / Birmingham / Wrexham have (plus others who got signed in the Summer to other Championship sides like say, Galbraith to Swansea) that can and have made the step up and can fit in comfortably at the level. There are a number of players in League One right now that will get promoted this year and perform in this league next season. Yes, absolutely it's a bit of a gamble - but generally these players are more open to a move to the league above, playing regularly and more able to fit into the team right away.

    We just simply don't hold much draw to any decent Championship players right now.  We can get the ones that are not playing at all and might even be considering dropping down a league anyway, but I just tend to think that I'd rather bring in players on the up than those that are on their way down. Remember when we had clubs sniffing around our players from the Championship when we were still down there - it's just a different kind of appeal.

    As much as I would love us to bring in a number of signings with a wealth of experience, we still are where we are as a club and have to make the money go around. With the more urgent role of a LWB for example, you might want to lean into someone bang in form from League One who can play immediately. In the less demanding positions, you can shop around and be more picky with the criteria.

    Good, experienced players for this league are not easy to find, nor easy for us to have enough draw for.
    We need Championship standard players, but that does not mean we have to get them from Championship clubs. We got Jones and Ramsay from lower leagues. They have not done badly. If we sign six, three will flop, but that is still cheaper than signing two from the Championship.
    That’s an extremely risky strategy. Do we even have six spaces in the squad?

    Think your spot on .. not sure we would get much more then 400/500,000 for him now be pretty poor so far

    Middlesborough spent 3M on a Rb this summer and Southampton need RB’s so much they loaned us one and Southampton  probably watched Ramsays 2nd worse performance this season. From a logical standpoint hoping that’s just rumours

    LWB and a striking partner for Kelman needed. Better defensive cover too.

    Which would be fine if he were 17-19, he's 26.

    He’s a better target man than Leaburn , holds the ball up better and wins more headers ….. only problem is been out injured for a while now …
