Possible January targets

That piece was recorded immediately after the Oldham game so there's nothing "hot off the press" there.

I'm thinking that David Wotherspoon could be a very smart signing. He's a good, versatile player but couldn't necessarily come here and expect to go straight into the team. He can play RB, RWB and just about anywhere in midfield, so the least he'd be is a very useful squad player, and his versatility would make recruitment much easier and possibly reduce the number of players we need to sign. He also takes good corners and can cross a ball. If he was to get in the team it would probably be at RWB in place of Freeman.

His contract is expiring so I expect he'd cost no more than 150k.

I am not saying we shouldn't bring "back up" in, Ricky, but for me, Freeman is doing fine where he is.
 
David Wotherspoon = Ryan Flynn.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if we have representatives at three or more of the L1 games tonight - Millwall v Gillingham, MK Dons v Swindon, Port Vale v Chesterfield and Rochdale v Shrewsbury.

If he's a taller Ryan Flynn with more individual skill and set piece ability that's not a bad thing.

Brayford's been playing RCB most weeks for Burton and Clough himself has alluded to him being unable to train properly due to the injuries he's had.

The reasons to bring him back are nothing more than hopeful. He's shown nothing at all since signing permanently, no signs of improvement, whether before or after injuries. He'd offer no more than Freeman.


Zach Clough would cost at least £3m so I think we can forget about that. Taylor and Morris would also cost too much.

Should have signed Oztumer on a free in the summer. Then that would be one position we don't have to look at in January.

Not sure we could keep both Oztumer and Duffy happy. Both would expect to be the main man in the number 10 position. But I agree he's a good player and one I'd have been pleased to see us sign in the summer.
 
My friend is a big rotherham united fan and his family sponsors a stand and has a box. He told me that wilder and knill was at the game last night im assuming watching brayford

. And for the striker I would sign it would be James Vaughan or Omar Bogle . James Vaughan is 4th highest scorer in our league in a struggling team.

I also like James Vaughan. He puts in a good shift, has Premier League experience and scores goals, and Bury's bank manager is anxious to see some money coming in to reduce the Shakers' overdraft. We seem to have a vacancy in the number 7 shirt and I'd be happy to see him fill it.

I was there last night. CW and AK won't have seen a great deal. He went off at H/T although he assisted with the second goal scored by Jackson Irvine, rumoured to be another one of our targets pre-season

Rotherham's top player Danny Ward is out of contract in 6 months
 
Just been told that maybe there's a member of our club keeping their eyes on MATTY TAYLOR of Bristol Rovers today??
Can't confirm it's true or false, was just told in the boozer by a guy who's son works at the lane.

there was a Matt Taylor for Northampton today with 10 goals from midfield
 

Excellent deduction that man!!
Let's forget anything was ever said!;):D:p
 
I don't like this...



Reeves would be a good buy for us. And we could do without Charlton strengthening. Seems likely though with the Karl Robinson connection.
 
If we could sign Bennett that's competition for Freeman and he can play in several positions. I'd like an upgrade on Lafferty so Riley is a possibility.

But more than anything we need a striker. Be it Ched, James Vaughan, Matty Taylor, John Akinde, Omar Bogle. There's plenty to choose from.
 
Northampton's Paul Anderson is the latest name to be linked.
 
Maybe Ryan Colclough could be considered again now Wigan have recalled him. Their new manager will want to have a look at him but maybe he'll be available for loan again. He'd be good cover for all the attacking positions.

Another old name might be about to resurface too...

Fleetwood taking a big interest in Byrne at Wigan. Among others.

Charlton will be one. But 'others' could easily include us. He is the sort of wide option Wilder wants, maybe he'll be cheaper than Elliott Bennett.

Fleetwood being in for him suggests Conor McLaughlin's leaving. Maybe it'll be us who sign him.

I'd much prefer McLaughlin over Byrne. Since being made to look a world beater by (the now club less) Bob Harris (who I'm amazed escaped criticism during his time at Utd as I thought he was absolutely awful), he has done absolutely nothing at both Wolves and Wigan, culminating in him allegedly recently refusing to play RB for Wigan. On top of that he'd be expensive.

No doubt that L1 seems to be his level, but he is good in L1, and wing back suits him perfectly.

I don't think we'll sign him though, mainly because he only plays on the right and would expect to play every week, but I also don't think that refusing to play in a certain position would go down well with Wilder.

I would like to see him at RWB though, he'd give us something extra. Not sure it's the time to sign him though.
 
I think McLaughlin fits 2 positions. He could easily fill in as the 3rd CB as well as being a WB.
 
Linked with Charlie Wyke at Carlisle. Not too surprising.

 
Graham Carey is the player who stands out from the names mentioned, who is realistically attainable.

Admittedly, I've only seen him a handful of times but he looks like a big game player for Plymouth and that could bode well playing for a bigger club such as ourselves, coping with the pressure etc etc. He's at his peak at the minute and could be a good time to get him for the next couple of years.
