Premiership clubs will not rush to loan out or sell fringe players,they're awash with cash and will wait till they have a good. idea what there named 25 will be,the world cup will also effect what happens as
players come back to there clubs it will have a domino effect on transfers in and out at these clubs.

For this reason I’m not sure on the wisdom of closing the window at the same time for PL and FL. Surely a week to investigate hiring those who missed the PL 25 man squads would be more judicious.
 
Today's Star again insisting it would be a loan deal.

Unless we agree a set price to buy at the end of it, this would be poor from us having just sold Brooks.

Maybe we are buying another striker for decent money? And he is to supplement. Then it would be an excellent deal.

I would like a fee agreed so that we could buy him though.

Tbh, I'd rather do a loan to buy option with Gallagher than get him outright. He's got ability and Wilder clearly rates him but at the same time he will cost a lot and in our position we can't afford to spend £3m on anyone who could potentially be a flop (no matter how much of a sure bet they might be).

I do agree though, if it's just a loan deal with no option for a permenant then I'd be very disappointed. That just means if he does well then he'll probably end up well out of our price range next season.

We're trying to buy the bloke I believe...I reckon once he's back from China and Hughes tell's him his options we'll see if he's up for a drop in wages and a new start. :)

Whilst I agree with the thought, you can't buy proven players for 3m.

Come on do you really believe that ?
Not sure how long you have supported the Blades but if it's anything longer than 2 year's you cannot really think we would be spending decent money on another striker.
Now Selling Clarke for 50k and a friendly on deadline day i can believe.

This is where being astute kicks in as you say 3 million won't buy the finished product wilder beleave he can spot potential (Mitchell involved here ) can always get it wrong but being clever with the funds is where were at ,going to be an interesting
window towards the cut off.
Going to be a bigger scramble thathan in the past if that's possible.

Or it gives us a chance to look at him and see if he’s any good, his goals to games ratio isn’t the best

Obviously a good point too. I was more giving reference to Gallagher's rumoured valuation than anything else. If anything it further underlines what a fine line we are currently treading. I fully believe we CAN spend a few million on a player if they fit the bill. The question is more if we SHOULD be spending on that particular player.

Wilders after quality not quantity this summer and as you rightly pointed out that costs money. Theoretically if we bought several players for millions each and all of them are complete busts then we could have 3 or 4 Brayfords on our hands. I'm happy for Wilder to take any option that minimises any risks and if that means loans with buying options then so be it.

Given what we've just received for Brooks, on top of what was already a 'competitive' budget, we should be in a position to spend £3m on players who'd be less sure bets than Gallagher. He'd also cost more than £3m but considering we'll probably only spend fees on two others and that he'd be the main signing, we could afford and justify it.
His value is also safe as long as he doesn't have a disastrous season, especially in this ever inflating market.

An option to buy that Southampton can't wriggle out of would be decent but there's still the possibility that after a decent season he could reject us and sign for someone offering 30k p/w+.

When weighing everything up, I think the best option for us would be to commit to a permanent deal now.

I believe in CW is a man of his word. I don’t believe he would have stayed unless he has some backing. He could have moved to many clubs this close season but he stayed and it’s not for money. So it’s because he has a project he believes in.

Like I keep saying everyone is negative on here for weeks and we make one good signing all will change. So why not sit back and wait?
