Positive sounding comments but we did also get positive reviews of Hernandez from Norwich fans6

Bamford signed a contract extension with the Blades so Ipswich will be looking elsewhere for a target man for 4 months to get them over the line0

Will be gutted if Ipswich get Aneke and we end up with Dykes.6

I've heard good things about this company that produces electrotherapy devices for use in pain management and physical rehabilitation which could work wonders for our crocks.

When will they click, been hearing this about are players since the start of the season.Dazzler21 said:I have a feeling that once Miles and Kelman click we'll see plenty more goals. They both work hard but that chemistry isn't there yet.
I think we need another striker, but more so we need a LWB and LCB. We should utilise Campbell when we're chasing a game, switch to 3-4-3 and have him and Oloafe either side of the main striker especially when looking for a late goal. His pace against tiring players will be a real challenge.1 -
I think you’re overplaying those half a seasons Callum.Callumcafc said:In the last two seasons Clarke played for a promotion winning Ipswich team, half a season with Ipswich in the Premier League and half a season with Sheffield United who lost in the playoff final.
I assume we’ll have done a proper medical assessment and passed him for match play. He’d be a very good asset to have for the rest of the season.For Ipswich last season he featured as a sub or starter in 6 out of 23 games. He’d come out the Ipswich team as a starter from Feb 24.
For Sheff U he featured in 7 out of 18 games. After February he featured once for 68 mins in April and I think that’s his last minutes.Not dismissing him but just adding for context.8 -

Leicester City are weighing up a late move for Birmingham City forward Lyndon Dykes.
The Scotland international is close to agreeing a move to Charlton Athletic who are discussing a loan.
Leicester are desperate to add more firepower but are working under financial restrictions and may need to sell first. They had been hoping to sign free agent former West Ham forward Michail Antonio but that was ruled out after he picked up another injury in training.

Or you sign someone from the Championship like Clarke, he’s available because he’s out of favour so hasn’t played, but he is championship level. Personally I’d rather sign the championship level player that hasn’t played rather than a league 1 player playing every week. That is the choice we are having to make
You spend money & buy someone who is good, reliable & currently playing. Yes, it means paying more than you would necessarily like to but thems the breaks.
Weird how decades of transfer nomality seems to have gone out the window.
Matt Grimes
Matt Clarke
John Egan
Isaiah Jones
Morgan Whittaker
Aaron Connolly
Anis Slimane
Tom Bradshaw
Lewis Gibson
The only players on that list who’d I say were actually first team regulars at the club that sold them:
- Matt Grimes (Swansea to Coventry, £4m),
- Morgan Whittaker (Plymouth to Middlesbrough, £7m),
- Lewis Gibson (Plymouth to Preston, £2m).
Plymouth were rooted to the bottom of the table at 24th in January last year - Boro and Preston arguably just picked off their two best players as they were mostly already gone. Would people accept that strategy if we tried it with Sheff Wed or Oxford? Why would a good Oxford player like Brannagan or Currie want to jump ship to another relegation battler in mid January?
And selling Grimes to Coventry was widely viewed as a significant mistake by Swansea supporters - Grimes is already an integral piece of a promotion chasing Coventry team.
All I'm concerned with is that we've had a gaping hole at LWB for 2 months & during that period we've only won once & losing to 2 of our immediate relegation rivals. We haven't been able to strengthen in that position until Jan 1st but 12 days later still nothing has been done. I do expect a player to come in but by the sounds if it they will not be "match fit" and may not be fit enough to start on Saturday. If that is the case & we have to experiment with TC in that role (or another square peg or unfit player) then I'm not expecting us to win. We then have Millwall....
To add to all that, it is well documented that we are not great upfront & do not score many goals.....so being defensively weak is more of a problem than it might be to other teams because once we concede the first goal you can usually kiss goodbye to us winning the game. Hence why strengthening the defence is more important TO US than it might be to any of the other 91 teams in the League system.
I do try not to post much on here but it does do my head in reading how people will seemingly be happy to sign players who haven't been playing regularly and/or have not played a minute of football this season. We've already rushed back Bell because we didnt have many options and he has now sustained another injury. Bringing in a player who had not played 90 mins of football this season is a recipe for disaster imo.8 -
No offence to Dykes, but him being linked with Charlton, Leicester and Ipswich seems to me to sum up the entirety of the January Transfer Window - Teams are desperate for players, and just about anyone to help or rescue their season, and the only ones really available are the ones that a big team like Man City can just afford whenever they want them, or the ones that cant get minutes and want game time.Its why the only player I'd be happy seeing us splash cash on this month, is the next Kayne Ramsay from Harrogate, someone up and coming, maybe out of Contract in the summer, and is worth the risk now to avoid battling with other clubs when they're a Free Transfer14

definitely a Charlton type player.doronron said:
Injured long time at Liverpool,they loaned him to Millwall who only got 4 games out of him and think he has been injured in 2025 .this sounds way to riskyRed_Chester said:

Not caring about what other clubs are doing or have done in the past is just being totally ignorant of the challenges of the January transfer window. If other clubs aren’t able to make those kind of signings then how are we going to be able to do it?golfaddick said:

January is such a bizarre window to work in. There's a finite number of available players usually it's either someone way out of favour because new signings have userped them from last season and they're getting 10 mins here and there off the bench or it's someone that's coming back off a major layoff and isn't going to be quite up to speed yet.
I can't believe the only available champ experienced striker in the whole division is Lyndon Dykes so much so that Ipswich and Leicester are both genuinely interested. I know Leicester had Julian Carranza recalled by Feyenoord but he was barely playing anyway, they've got options up top with Daka, Mavididi can play down the middle if needed and Jordan Ayew.5 -

How has Lyndon Dykes become the most wanted player in the Championship. I wouldn’t even be that excited if we signed him on loan.
With the way Leaburn has played the last few games I’d be OK if we missed out on this one.6 -

Waiting for someone to throw in Elijah Adebayo from Luton even though he's not played since April.1 -
I was wondering this. Having not seen much/any of Dykes play to be honest, is he necessarily an upgrade on Miles who has really hit his straps recently without necessarily banging the goals in?Laddick01 said:How has Lyndon Dykes become the most wanted player in the Championship.

I've not seen other people say it yet, but I picked up that Lyndon Dykes is on a 'significant wage' at Birmingham, and even Ipswich would hope Birmingham would contribute to his wages.MarcusH26 said:January is such a bizarre window to work in.

May indicate why we seem to have dropped out of trying to get him on loan?0 -

Nah not an upgrade. Experienced but doesn't score goals. Would be a rotational option really if we needed to manage Miles's minutes.TheHerminator said:

Also was Dykes definitely at the Chelsea game? Why would he be there unless a deal is imminent?0
