The Turkish transfer window doesn't close until 9 Feb. They could return, but our chance to replace again would be gone. We should keep what we have until promotion, or failure.

100%, the position we are in , it would be crazy to gamble with chance we have.

    FFS. This isn't Behind The Stands. Most folk come on here to read bullshit rumours and conjecture, with the odd bit of accurate stuff thrown in. It's boring as fuck reading your personal squabbles.

  • Sure it's that Mandela effect in full flow here that we all seem to be OK with this. It's a fucking travesty and complete shitshow. He's our most prolific striker by a country mile, has been

    We've just won promotion using a gaggle of players nobody else wanted, littered with injury plagued loanees and players that were cast as cart horses, one trick ponies and generally weak as piss.

No idea. I’d of thought some inroads on Ramsey maybe?

Planely obvious what he meant!

Are Reading going to have any players left?

Coventry signed Mason-Clark from Peterborough for a "substantial undisclosed fee" but loaned him back for the rest of the season 

Same for Max Bird - signed by Bristol City but loaned back to Derby

I don't see how this benefits the buying club at all

Ennis ended up going to Stoke on a permanent deal.    Strange one.

Why not? Two fairly young players doing well in L1, maybe not ready for the championship but with lots of potential and (or!) a good chance of a sell on fee. And opportunity to develop in L1 further. 

We saw Bristol try it with GT in the summer (granted with no loan clause) -makes sense in Jan that championship clubs would do similarly.

 

*BTW this transfer window has been ace. Until Collins misses a sitter or the West Brom lad gets megged on his 18 yard box, then they can become Jardel and Cid respectively...

Well excited, not gonna lie.

I could understand it with youngsters coming from abroad, but they're 23 and 24 from the division below and decent money being spent on them.

I get why Peterborough would stipulate a loan back but Mason Clark could help Cov up to the Prem this season. 

Just surprised the Championship clubs agreed to it. Suppose it's the gamble of him potentially costing more if they went up, but equally if they stayed down could get him for less.

Peterborough really do have a knack of finding good forwards and selling them on for decent fees

You’ve answered your own question with the second paragraph. 

It's a risk for the championship club in the sense that they may have the opportunity to get them cheaper in the summer- but that's one they feel they can afford to take.

As for Peterborough in this case, they have managed to sell a player who has seemingly been wanting out, but have still got him to help with the efforts for promotion. 

Suits all.

Signings now would surely have to be Championship standard - or we’re looking at more loan deals.

Turned out to be a bit of both with decent loanees it seems and Collins being a target for Championship campaign bought early.

Taylor was also alleged to be a summer target, but some of the fees suggested recently are perhaps prohibitive.

Happy with the window - just wish that Santos hadn’t been injured.

 

West Brom fan I know reckons Caleb Taylor is very good and they expected him to get a game there this season but other players have also been playing well and kept him out

I think our own reputation probably got that move

I'm expecting we'll see the real benefit of our new link-up once / if we get to the Championship

WBA are heading for financial meltdown according to their fans.

We might get him cheap :)

He came on against  Wolves at the weekend when it all kicked off. He looked like a fucking giant unless he was stood next to dwarfs 😄

I watched in awe yesterday as, in the background, Reading FC were dismantled.

I have zero idea of the ability of any of them but 6 players exited on loans yesterday. 

I see Wigan got Wyke's wages, or some of them at least, off the books late on last night.

Yet they turned down £2m for Taylor this week from Blackburn. So it can't, yet, be firesale time.

tbf I'd not picked up on their current woes.

Parachute payments have stopped and several loans due in at the end of this season. If they miss out on promotion, they're another Derby in waiting. 

Think the owner has been lending his other companies cash from the clubs till on rather favourable terms to. 

(Fuck you Darren)

Wonder if season tickets sold today will cover yesterday's transfer costs ?
