Transfer rumours thread (DEADLINE DAY starts page 300)

Unless we are getting Yun Suk Young back? Who knows!

I-SAW-POUSO-PLAY

Also looking at free agents still some players that could come in and do a job.

3 that stand out are
Chris Burke
Charlie Mulgrew
Yun Suk Young

I would be disappointed if we signed any of those.

I would prefer to keep THD and play him left midfield if required. I am surprised he is not on the bench instead of Roger to be honest. Obvious cover for Fox, and Fox could go central defence if an injury there.

Chris Burke would be a great signing at this level... Charlie Mulgrew wouldnt be a bad signing either as looking at his Wiki page he can play CM / CB / LB so would certainly be the utility type player that is useful in any squad

Don't think Yun Suk Young would get a work permit now.

YSY would be a decent signing at this level, can play left midfield as well as left back, and fits the mould of Slade liking an out and out winger on one side and a more traditional wide midfielder on the other. Won't happen though.

I would like to keep THD but there is something that isn't clicking, whether it's he expects to play more, Slade doesn't think he's good enough or whatever, a move to a club a league above us is a no brainer.

Have the Belgians ever rejected an offer, ffs.

We don't know do we? And we don't know how much Huddersfield are offering. We don't know if THD is keen to go and his agent has been drumming up a move but the bid is totally unsolicited on the club's part. We don't know if KM or Slade have been talking to THD to try and convince him to stay. Likewise we don't know if the club has been actively seeking a purchaser. We don't know if there's been a fall out and Slade wants rid. We don't know what the club has up its sleeve in terms of a replacement.

One thing we do know, permission to talk is not the same as a done deal.

That response is far to sensible Exiled!

What annoys me is people talk about transfer fees and that we can't expect much as we are League 1 now, well so are Oxford and they sold a player for more than twice as much as we did Cousins and nearly as much as Burnley paid for Pope and JBG combined.

I have commented on THD from time to time, often suggesting he is more of a midfielder than a left back. I say this because he has Cousins-like application and energy, a work ethic that is best utilised if he is constantly involved rather than the relative solitude at left back.
We are losing a good young player, and the aspiration still seems to be to plug the gaps with cheap old mercenaries whose best days are long gone.
Still these jokers are learning from their mistakes so that's OK.

It is shortterm money saving over long term planning and expenditure.

Agree. Both Mulgrew and Burke would be good signings.

Chris Burke or YSY would be good signings,.. THD had a lot of potential though and it would be a shame to see him go

lancashire lad

Slade did say he only wanted player who wanted to wear the shirt, as has been said it was reported that last season THD was not happy with CAFC. He was used a a sub on Saturday, perhaps that was a make or break appearance for Slade and ended as a break.

Callumcafc

No way is Mulgrew signing for a League One team. Doubt he'd even go to Championship.

ricky_otto

I wouldn't have thought anybody is forcing THD to go.
If he wants to leave and feels his chances of first team football or even more money mean a move, then so be it.

J BLOCK

Slade is very naive to come out with statements like 'no more significant players leaving' etc. Ultimately with this mob if an OK bid came in for ANY of our players they'd accept it in a heart beat, making RS look a mug

Plus with a squad our size, any player is significant. At least we might have some rumours of players signing for the next week before we are told we have enough.

These jokers need to jog on so there can finally be a sense of optimism around the club.

Exactly.

Splodge

If we do want a creative, goal-scoring midfielder and have a bit of money available to do something, Cameron McGeehan from Luton would be a good option. A player who is destined for the Championship but might, at this stage, be an achievable target for us at the moment if we wanted to do it.

The sort of player we could probably get for £1m and see his value increase.

cafc_harry

THD isn't a key player. Sell a back up that'll never play and replace him with a decent free, then use the fee to fill other more needed positions. Slade isn't stupid. He's done ok so far.

His stock has gone right down in recent years, would really doubt him getting a premiership move.

Isn't Andy Hughes 1st team coach at Huddersfield and would know THD very well

I would agree with you if this is what I could see happening. We won't instead we will make do with what we have and sign no one else. No free left back, no transfer fees, no loans, NO ONE AT ALL

I liked Mulgrew in his Southend days - would be a bit like Jacko imo

Quality midfield with Pugh, Pugh and Barney

Now THD has been sent on his way to raise a few shekels, where's that creative midfielder that Mr Slade is hopeful of signing?

We tried very hard to get him in but we ran out of time.

We have to remain patient

Look how patient we are
