The first to depart will be.....

[The_Green_Man]

It looks like Alcock.....

According to the media it was said in the post match interview that the club have contacted Sheffield United and are in talks with the view to making the loan move a permanent one, and well he is surplus to requirements isn't he so.....

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

I think it will be a quiet month for us, mainly outgoings if any action.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

I reckon Alcock, McNulty, Higdon and maybe 1 or 2 more out. 1 or 2 to come in.

 

[Silent Blade]

And Freeman?

 

[BeatleBlade]

And Freeman?

Has he been completely dropped now or is he just injured? Surprised he's no on the bench right now.

 

[Woodwardfan]

The only ones to leave will be those who are wanted by other clubs, I'm afraid.

 

[Esablade]

How much do we reckon we'll get for the lollipop kid?
Is he still scoring/playing for Pompy?

I was in the executive boxes on the John Street stand yesterday (Dad's birthday) with Kevin Gage as compere in the restaurant. Che Adams and Stefan Scougall came in briefly and he made it pretty clear from the brief moments on the mic that he feels frozen out this season and doesn't believe he ll get back in unless we change formation. Based on that, I'd expect him to looking for a way out next week.

It always seems just as we do look like getting something together then along comes the "Sheffield United kick in the bollocks" from the board and we sell our best player.

If Brayford leaves for the Championship it would be the final straw for me.

We cant stand in their way if they ask to leave though......

Please be wrong! We all know that we need some quality additions, particularly in defence and centre mid and probably a winger too! That's my view anyway ;-)

Just shows you, how opinions can differ. I reckon we need a quality striker most of all.

Look at us right now with Done injured.

Kevin Gage? Frozen out my arse! The blokes 51 and he hasn't had a competitive game for 15 years!

Why on earth would we want someone in the team who can't find the exit from the executive box!

I despair with this club!!!

I really do!

Hammond and Coutts will do for me in Centre Midfield.

Which one said this ? I assume it has to be Scougall not Adams.

Great post (ie, I agree). Sort it out Warnock, ffs !

Yes but at present we've got the mid three and I don't think that the current combo of Basham, Hammond and Coutts offers enough variety and they're all similar would you not say? I'd like Morsy in there or maybe Baxter, although completely different to Morsy. Baxter at home and maybe the more combative and energetic Morsy away. It's great too see Hammond and Coutts playing so well though after all their critics.

 

[SandyMcBlade]

Usually we only sell our best player if we are bringing some one in....

I've got my iron cricket box ready.

Brayford wants to stay at the club even more than we want him to. That is abundantly clear. If we dared to try and cash out on him I'd personally hunt down Phipps!

 

[bladesmanluke]

It's quite clear than Brayford does not want to leave so if we do sell him and they still roll out that bollocks they can fuck off

Me and a few thousand others would be joining you

Our game at the moment is very much based on solidity. Coutts had a good game yesterday, especially second half, but we shouldn't underestimate the importance our solidity, determination and hard work had on his (and our) performance. We earned the right to play. First half was pretty scrappy, but the early goal helped us, as did the crowd. Bradford were intimidated and frustrated, outmuscled and

When Bradford tried to get forward with more players in the second half, we remained aggressive and broke up their attacks which gave us more room to play in and Coutts excelled with his composure, playmaking and combining very well with Brayford and Sharp.


We're not world beaters yet though, and it will be a real challenge for Adkins to gradually introduce more skill and pace into the team. Picking Hammond and Coutts in central midfield with Adams or JCR coming in on the right would change quite a few things for us.

 

[PeteBlade]

I'm sure that if we do sell anyone in January, then their replacement will already be at the club.

 

[Tyler Durden]

I think that we'll "allow Baxter to leave". That's my expert prediction.

Spookily this is exactly what Nostradamus predicted almost 600 years ago. I think he used the word "Antichrist" at the time.

 

[Dkc]

Adams to go to a Premier League club for an "undisclosed fee" thought to be in the region of 1 million quid. We are promised that the Adams money will be spent on squad strengthening. We then don't sign anyone, or a player from Notts County reserves. It later turns out that the fee for Adams was closer to 400k than a million, with "add-ons" - which turn out not to be worth anything.

It's the Blades way

 

[blades78]

Apologies. My original message isn't clear. It was Scougall who said that if we play 442 he isn't getting a game.

 

[YES Blade]

Generally most clubs don't do much business in January, so not really expecting too much. I'd say 3 maximum coming in.

 

[AnonymousBlade1995]

Will be very unhappy but McNulty will go to Portsmouth
