Wilder's Shopping List

[ckpe147]

Unbelievably January is just two months away, and Chris will inevitably want to get some players in.
After the disaster of this summer window I dont expect us to have much to spend, but whos worth going after?
Ivanovic at Millwall is the dream striker target for me
And Louza at Watford.
Centre Back needs to ideally be left footed, wouldn't put it past CW trying to bring Jack Robinson back.....

The only thing Wilder should be looking for in January is a new job.

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

Sadly I don't have much faith in CW in Jan but at least we won't have much cash for him to waste like usual

 

[CPB]

He ain't gonna bring back Robinson.

There will be quite a bit of ins and outs I reckon.

 

[KMC-1889]

Whilever the recruitment board consists of Wilder, Hoyland and Bettis I wouldn’t hold out any hope of massively improving the team in Jan. they managed to complete derail our season last time.

We’ll move a few out early doors, spend the whole window fucking about and then signed a couple that can’t get games for anyone else just before the window shuts.

I reckon 3 loans sent back, and 3 loans brought in, highly doubt lots of money will be spent unless Gus goes.
Maybe Tom Cannon to stoke..

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

As we approach Yuletide I imagine it's mince pies, Peroni etc...

 

[Brian Deane]

As we approach Yuletide I imagine it's mince pies, Peroni etc...

Perhaps some Turkey's with two legs

Hamer will be sold for about 8m. That will just cover some of the money wasted on the likes of Godfrey, Chong, McGuinness and Matos. The non Ogbene loans will go back. And we'll sign 3 loans to replace them. Probably ones with no match fitness on 31 January

Unfortunately a rerun of a Cooper, Campbell, Burrows, Shacks, McCallum, Moore, JRS, Souttar, Gilchrist esque window - massively improving our team/squad on the relative cheap is unlikely as we bet the farm on a ton of crap in the summer. It's also much harder to recruit fit, quality players in January. Even if you get good ability for the level they're unlikely to be up to speed (BBD, Holding,). If you get a good loan and they do well they're unlikely to be your player next season anyway. It's hard to be enthused.

What should be the criteria?:

Quality permanent players that are playing regularly with the quality to improve us that fit into a post parachute payment financial reality.

Realism/reality:

Our squad is that bad/unfit/injury prone that despite not being in a position to threaten even the play off places we'll likely sign a higher 'proven' calibre on loan to try and give a squad bereft of quality a short term infusion to stave of relegation. This will damage our longer term prospects as the money will effectively be redirected from longer term solutions. If we were even in a safe position we could make better strategic decisions e.g not spending until the (usually) better summer transfer window arises.

I think a lot of it will be decided on where we are in the table.

That, and when you look at the players who are expected to leave, you ask the question of whether they have already been replaced.

Bindon: replaced by Ben Mee

Barry: replaced by Brooks with Hamer to return from injury

Riedewald signs a new contract, from what I've seen so far he definitely should be here longer than January.

The board will want a fine balance of wanting to cash-in while avoiding relegation.
