Thought we' be mainly looking for these 3 positions as priority, a target man at least would be good
Goal Keeper ✅ Defensive Midfielder ? Target Man ?

I know we've lost clarke but with Sterling back fit (can he be trusted to stay fit?) and Wilmot able to do a job there temporarily and Macari on the fringes, I didn't think a right back would be high up on our priorities.

Souttar won't be leaving. 100% will be moving Not to Leicester. Not sure about other interest from Villa, Wolves and Everton. Seems to have gone quiet.

Agree. It does seem a slightly odd one, but can cover at Centre Half too with Flint going to the Owls.

Souttar won't be leaving. 100% will be moving 12m. Straight cash. Heard the same?

The days of the 'Hendrie' type loans are long gone. When we could pay the full wage of an out of favour experienced Premier League player we were an attractive proposition both for the player and the loaning club. Now we're hamstrung by FFP we're stuck with unproven, but cheap, youngsters. And hope that one or two come off.

If we're selling Souttar which gives us a few quid to spend I'd rather get 2/3 first team ready quality players in that more loanees but maybe we need all the Souttar cash for FFP reasons?

I agree if we're talking permanents but that entirely hinges on if and when Souttar gets sold in this window. Unless we've already got something lined up and it's simply waiting for the Souttar apple to drop then it's much harder to sort a permanent deal out than it is a last minute loan.

So far on paper we've signed a keeper (massive tick in the box), a winger that's actually a number 10 who doesn't seem to like playing out wide, and an unproven right back who was forced to train with the kids because of his stinking attitude...........

Souttar money will surely fund permanent deals for a replacement CB and striker and possibly DM (although I think we'll make do until summer in that position).

A few Bolton fans seem to give this apparent bullshitter credence based on past tweets. And he mentions the George Johnston rumour too.

I agree but I don't want a final day panic buy splurge on shit we're then lumbered with for 3 1/2 years. I'd rather a few judicious loans at CB and striker to tide us over til June and keep our stash for the rebuild in the summer.
