February 1, 20242 yr Just now, Dr. Feelgood said: 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.

February 1, 20242 yr 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 Edited February 1, 20242 yr by jmjhb
February 1, 20242 yr Ennis ended up going to Stoke on a permanent deal. Strange one. On 31/01/2024 at 18:24, Arrested development said:

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. Edited February 2, 20242 yr by jmjhb

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.

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.
February 2, 20242 yr 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

February 2, 20242 yr WBA are heading for financial meltdown according to their fans. We might get him cheap
February 2, 20242 yr 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 😄
February 2, 20242 yr 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.
February 2, 20242 yr I see Wigan got Wyke's wages, or some of them at least, off the books late on last night.

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.
February 2, 20242 yr Think the owner has been lending his other companies cash from the clubs till on rather favourable terms to. (Fuck you Darren)
