January Transfer Window (rumours + actuals)

NabySarr

Sonny Bradley has signed for Wycombe. Still doesn’t rule out a move for Jones as Swansea are sniffing around their other centre back

Not until its on the webb site

For all those saying that we should be in for Ricky Jade Jones, currently being linked with Cardiff and Freiburg…

Stockport fans were being laughed at on twitter for wanting to sign Leaburn…the thought of P’Boro selling Jones to Charlton is just as laughable

More likely they've signed his replacement before selling him, something we seem to struggle with

That’s their replacement for Caleb Taylor, who has been recalled by West Brom

From what I've seen of RJJ, I wouldn't want him anyway. Posh fans were shocked when he had championship interest. I'm told he's a pace merchant with limited footballing ability and each time I've seen him I've agreed.

Competition for Berry perhaps?

Hopefully not. The competition for Berry needs to be someone like Crowley, who's younger and can still learn from Berry. 

Romaine Sawyers was a great player in this league, and very good at the level above, that was around 6-8 years ago though.

Need better than that.

Learn from Berry? How to jog around and make yourself unavailable for most of the game?

Gisappointed

NJs recent success is mainly down to pace upfront but did he ever have that at Luton?

So a championship struggler is interested in a league1 player. Our board have said we are interested in players who can play at a championship level or be ready to step up, and there was a fair bit of gloating about the signings of Coventry, Docherty, Gillesphey, Berry, etc, all of which signed from the level above btw, and allegedly, we fended championship interest off for. Is it that farfetched that I thought we could be in for a player in league1 who's value is less than a million and is paid less than Gassan (as far as information online provides) 

Freiburg is a bit random, but it's good to know that I've got the same eye for a player as a team that have spent over two decades in the Bundesliga for, fair play to me.

Why would we want a player who is not wanted by a League 2 team

I think he is wanted, just had a short contract and he decided to move on

He only made sub appearances. Surely if he was rated and wanted he would have started?

Agree. He is total dogshit and Posh fans think the same.

24 goals in the last 1.5 seasons, surely he isn't that bad?

takes time to build fitness. I only saw the social media post pretty quickly l after it was announced but their fans seemed disappointed

To be fair, most of the posh team have been shit for most of the season according to their fans.

Instead of us worrying about losing Jones we should be disappointed that Charlton have not signed Bradley as his partner. Every window we need to come out stronger but it would appear all we’re interested in is having a squad that’s adequate and hope it works out. This window should be about bringing in quality not being forced to replace it. We’re going nowhere fast.

We play a back 3. Jones plays in the middle of it, Bradley would also have to play in the middle of it. Not what we need for the first eleven 

I know people lose their heads in January, but we’re going nowhere because we didn’t sign a 33 year old centre back (that has barely played for 6 months) on loan and it’s January the 7th could be a new record

If we’d signed him you’d get people saying oh another Luton reject and he’s not fit because he’s hardly played. But because we didn’t sign him we’re going nowhere 

Redhenry

I think most would like us to sign a player that will get into the first 11 and improve the team and not sign squad fillers

Bradley is alright. It's Cashin who's the outstanding CB in Derby's team, was so impressed when he played against us.

You’ve only got to read some of the horrendous takes on here to know that fans forums are not a good source of truth haha. 

The fans forums were very negative on Dobson. Just as an example. 

Peterborough have had some fantastic strikers over the years - so their bar is high

I don't think there was that feeling in the summer. In fact, I think most people were positive about the ex-Luton players. It is only because most of them have been disappointingly poor that you would get that response. Also, I think you are missing SHG point in what I thought was a reasoned post/opinion, it isn't specifically Bradley, more the fact we are mostly talking about losing our best players rather than looking to strengthen. 

There has definitely been an exercise in expectation management for this window from within the club. Talk of a bloated squad and player happiness reads as budget to me. There has been nothing said about making a push for the play-offs or addressing the issues with the balance of the squad, just the size. 

Actions speak louder than words and, by the end of January, we will understand the true ambitions of our SMT and owners. Maybe then it will be OK to "lose our heads".

That’s a massive assumption that we aren’t looking to strengthen based on fan sentiment rather than anything concrete.

The expectation management might be as much about keeping a lid on potential transfer fees paid as it is managing the fanbase.

I agree, let’s see wait until the end of January to see.

It isn't an assumption, it is what NJ said, "one, maybe two" additions and reducing the size of the squad. It could all be smoke and mirrors to reduce fees, but I suspect selling clubs aren't going to be looking at our pre/post match press conferences and going Charlton don't have much to spend.

Of course, so the fact we’ve not signed Sonny Bradley is a good thing then as he wouldn’t get into our team ahead of Lloyd Jones 

Just don’t see why people are writing our season off and judging our window when we haven’t signed anyone or sold anyone and it’s the 7th January

Nicky Jose wasn't one of them and neither was Marcus Maddison and we ended up with both of them.
