Are we talking about Ugbo with reference to Wednesday? With Lawal, it looks like liek Dominik Diamond was impressed with him over the weekend - but the replies to his tweet less so. And suggestions Brendan Rodgers isn't a fan. So seems viable. With Stansfield, are we sure he can be a No.9. Brum seemed to think he did better wide? If we sign Ugbo and him though it means Stansfield could be played in either role.

Current Sheff Wed or was on loan last season? Sorry, Troyes. Well he's been left out of Troyes pre season squad so something is afoot.

Wood on loan would work for me. No commitment past next season. Big bonuses for scoring would make it attractive. I could see how that would be more financially viable. I’d still think it was a crappy short term solution. Top and bottom of it is you either find older players palatable or you don’t. If you judge a player based on their age alone, your opinion isn't worth much.

Maybe we can have one of them too.

Can’t see anyway we sign Ugbo and Stansfield. In fact, I will be surprised if we sign either of them! 😀
Unlesss we have some big money coming in from a player sale of course…..

If you judge a player based on their age alone, your opinion isn't worth much. OK but it’s not an unusual stance. Clubs have policies not to sign players over a given age and not to give 30 year olds more than a years contract extension at a time. There are obviously quite a few of us crazy people about.

I'm not suggesting we go after him. I'm saying he's out of our league - financially and level wise. If we could sign him (make the finances work and make him happy with the move), he would absolutely be our number 1 target - alongside every other club in our position. Wood on loan would work for me. No commitment past next season. Big bonuses for scoring would make it attractive. how about a loan for Yamal, R9 and Zidane whilst we're at it. We couldn't get a sniff at Kieffer Moore (5 goals in 35 in the prem, 1 year younger) why the hell would we get a sniff at Chris Wood - are ya getting it yet?

Lawal is being slagged off on the Celtic X feed. Doesn't sound very promising. Ugbo I would take...

I was having a look how he got on in the friendly the other day. Cameo on as a sub and was later subbed off. Don’t know if it was injury. Sounds like he didn’t put too much effort in the match. If he thinks he’s going and doesn’t want to be there, that could explain it. And would justify fans slating him. He definitely had a decent season at Fleetwood anyway and Charlie Adam is going to give the best feedback you could get in him, for the good and bad.

Not really Moore went to a fellow championship club and they had to give him a 3 year deal to get him. Doing anything similar would be repeating our mistakes that should be fresh in the memory. We’ll sign players that will demonstrate financially we could have competed for him if we were stupid enough to offer what they gave him.

But could also be Lawal I think either or would be good for different reasons. Lawal can be cover for CBs if needed and is only 21. The korean looks like a better Baker that is 6 years younger.

Still holding hope of the young Korean we were linked with at the start of the window.
His role model is Bae and he looks the identical player.

He never said they were. He simply said if they are close or not.

Hopefully Ugbo feels he has a point to prove in English football, and would seem a good buy based on last season. (The highlights of the game against Birmingham are worth a watch to see how involved he can get in a game, even if it’s one game and against a team that got relegated)
Guess how clever a signing it is comes down to the fee, but seems a sensible fit to me though.
We might as well use other Championship clubs’ loans as a chance to ‘try before you buy’ as well as our own.

Ugbo still most likely to go back to Sheff Wednesday as far as I can see

Either Ugbo or Stansfield would be real good business. how we would go about signing both and squeezing them in a team together god knows.

Played 32 scored 16 20/21 for Cercle Brugge. Is that even possible how many games do they play in a season.
