I think we have to as Neal has banked on being able to go about his business in the transfer market as part of the reason he has come to Stoke, which he wasn't getting at Sunderland
As for the FA, Who knows what wizardry they will imply on us to stop us progressing

This is all guessing/hoping.
think we’ll go for the Leicester goalie and try and swap Bursik and cash for him.
He’d be mad not to go for Ben Pearson.
Don’t see where a striker would come from?
He seems pretty keen for a winger, so one of them.

Ideally we:
1) sell Bursik and bring in a better goalkeeper 2) return Kilkenny and Smallbone and bring in a midfielder who can pass forwards 3) return Delap and bring in an actual target man.
Who knows how much business we’ll actually do. I predict little to be honest.

He seems pretty keen for a winger, so one of them. That's exactly how I see it. All this 'send the loans back' is all well and good except we can't. Well not unless the loanee and their club both agree which is unlikely to happen. Why would they?

I expect us to sell at least one player. Tymon, Souttar seem to be our only sbstantial playing assets. Given their recent injury records either would be a distressed sale and make nowhere near their potential value. Selling either would be yet more brainless transfer activity.

I think Bayern's nailed it with Bursik. More a swap plus cash hopefully but there'll be a fee attached.

Sadly the manager seems to like Smallbone too. Which puts a spanner in the works. I could see Kilkenny going back and Pearson being signed. I can see Man City wanting Delap back maybe as well to get him a better loan.

Their are numerous players in our squad who would attract nominal fees but only the two mentioned plus perhaps Brown based on stats who'd command a substantial fee, that's assuming someone is buying a player without watching them play.

That's very possible but the point I was making was we can't just 'send them back' because we want to. Bournemouth and Shitty would have to want them back. It also depends whether they could play for anyone else as well with the 2 clubs in a season rule in force. Did they play for their parent clubs before they came to us. If they did it would be pointless going back anyway.

'More appropriate loan' might have been a better phrase ie league 1 or 2.

If we wanted to ditch one of the last of the larger wages Powell would be the obvious choice. Especially if he's unlikely to re sign in the summer and a replacement is available.

I think we will definitely be spending on January. Iverson, Pearson and possibly a striker such as Adam Armstrong
Well when I say definitely it's just my internal optimism creeping out

Well, we have Powell, but with his injury record... And I struggle to think of anyone else whom the parachute teams would be dying to have from this squad. Someone might take a punt on Campbell, but his value can't be anywhere near what it was.
Oh we could sell somebody, but at salvage-yard prices. So it'd have to be multiple somebodies. January windows scare the living crap out of me.

Tymon will attract interest. Can’t see more than 3 million max though.

By January play offs will be out of sight, we're currently more likely gonna be hovering above relegation than just below the play offs. Next summer is when the investment needs to be made. January will just be a patch up job unfortunately.

I don’t get the obsession with Pearson myself. Not sure he has the necessary discipline but I guess Neil knows him.

This board would take £5m now, rather than wait and get £10/15m later on,for the likes of Soutar, we have been realy poor when it comes to selling our assets.

Post by robwahlmann on Nov 19, 2022 12:58:49 GMT
We need a new goalkeeper and a striker for sure! Those two positions must be a priority, if not we will stay close to the relegation zone for the rest of the season I fear.
