Nixon claims another couple of clubs have been alerted to the young Wigan CB potentially going to Hull for £5m. Don't suppose we're in position to drop that amount in that position, are we? Wigan fans seem to think he's exceptional If that is a big chunk of our budget (which nobody actually knows what our budget is) then it would be a bit daft to put it into a defender when that could get you 1 very decent striker or a couple of attackers. Surely priority has to be a striker/attackers If a target becomes available then you go for it. It doesn't mean we wouldn't buy a striker thereafter, and nobody knows what we have to spend.

No but I mean nobody knows what our budget is..say our budget is 6million, surely to god we wouldn't drop 5million on a young centre back. Makes no sense

But I highly doubt we're in a position to consider dropping 5 million on a young centre back. And I know you weren't having a go mate 👍 Basically if we are in a position to drop 5 million on someone i'd rather it be an attacker instead of a young CB from Wigan. Simply just based on what we need most right now

He's looked shite in the Scottish league though mate so I'm not sure the championship is the right environment for him. I watch Rangers quite a lot and I wouldn't say he looked shite at all. If he was to do anything in our league he should be head and shoulders above anyone in the Scottish league. He hasn't been anywhere close to being that.

All about opinions mate and he did seem like he was going to be a decent player when at Norwich. Attitude aside I just haven't seen anything from him at Rangers that makes me think he'd improve us.

Makes no sense you would imagine we already have our targets to suit our budget so dropping 5 mil on a non target player would mean missing out on another target , only way it would happen if we’ve already have a CB target but this one’s a better option

Yep, the type of manager driven mistake we used to make pre Jared and hopefully the type we miss out on post Jared. You'd think Walters would be very heavily character driven given his own career and the managers he's worked under and you'd expect the same of Darnbrough given his early days under Dychey. I have a lot of worries with those two at the helm, but player character of any incomings isn't one of them. How dull. Character driven lol. If you’re a bit of a cock you’re out. Refuse to play to get a transfer. Get sacked for stealing a teammates property no problem. Character eh?? Hey up… he’s liking his own posts, lads.😉

Wigan fans seem to think he's exceptional From the limited amounts I've seen of both, he looks a miles better prospect than Ronnie Edwards did at that level to me. From a financial side, dropping that kind of money becomes much more palatable if you think you're better served by a loan signing up-front. I was reading a little about this online and the speculation was the Hughes' agent re-negotiated a contract recently which inserted a release clause - which Wigan fans are complaining is well below their valuation. Interestingly, Hughes shares an agency with Thelo Aasgaard, who we were tenuously linked with this window, and also signed a new deal at Wigan around the same time. Maybe there's a similar clause with Aasgaard... Either way, Hull selling Greaves for £15m and replacing with Hughes for £5m feels like pretty solid work.

Based on absolutely fuck all I'd agree as you can have your pants pulled right down for any striker that flukes a purple patch or gives even a whiff of having one. The big boys hoover up everyone with an iota of potential in the hope they can cash in big or uncover the next wonderkid. In comparison there seems to be good bargains down the pyramid for goalkeepers and defenders where you can buy them with a few games under their belt and flog them on for a profit if they have a decent season.

From what I can gather;
Cannon is our top striker target (I do wonder how many clubs are thinking the same though, just hoping Huthy has given us the nod already) and we're prepared to wait. Assuming that Leicester need to sign someone first.
We want another forward as well, possibly one that can play across the front line.
We're struggling to land targets in other positions, fishing in the same pool as teams such as Sheff Utd & Cov and even losing out to the likes of Bristol City.
We're also struggling to get players out of the door that we want rid of.
After such a good start to business and so early, it's come to a bit of a grinding halt. Thankfully there's plenty of time left but it does appear that we are having to move further down the list of targets in most positions.

I still don't think we should be thinking we lost out to Bristol City. By all accounts we made an enquiry very last minute when he was already talking to Bristol City and had been for a quite a bit. Doesn't sound anything more than a late hijacking attempt. Which very rarely comes off

Yeah I do agree to be fair but there was a time that an 11th hour bid from Stoke would majority of the time land our way. I'm slightly concerned that after Schuey's comments earlier in the week we have abandoned the foreign approach and are looking primarily domestically. Blackburn have signed a Japanese striker for £1m to replace Sammie, whilst we're still floundering around waiting for the apples to drop from the Premier League tree.

Yeah only those internally will know if we're looking abroad. I imagine we'll still be atleast looking there. I don't see how one person going means the rest of the scouting team suddenly stops looking. The looking abroad wouldn't have been just Dublin doing it. The Bocat signing shows the club aren't afraid of bringing foreign players in. While it may have been Jared who suggested him it was still this transfer team who finalised it and went through with it. But time will tell how it goes.
