Gary's January Transfer Window

[Grecian Max]

Aye, James Scott, on paper, has a real crappy goal return.

Only 22. We gave Matt Jay a decade to get good

Some Scott goals. Looks like he can compete in the air but also a bit of a footballer too. The Smith replacement.

I like the option tbh of having a player like this, hopefully to use with Nombe sometimes rather than a replacement

I take a less pragmatic view about it, keep hold of the lads and have a crack at the playoffs, it’s certainly more likely than relegation - who knows when we’re gonna be in this position again - was 10 years since the last time. This is probably why I’m not in charge of a football club however. I also think we’d be very fortunate to get a few hundred grand for a 28 year old with 6 months of his contract left. I’d roll the dice, a hundred grand is nothing compared to the Watkins/ampadu/Randell fees and he’s been more influential than any of those…

Player power though - if JB gets a great contract offer then we can hardly stop him. Contractually yes but… we are what we are.

Yeah if he pushes for the move we shouldn’t get in his way I agree, I’d be annoyed if we were punting him about for a couple of hundred grand though - compared to transfers in recent times that’s f*** all for his calibre. Maybe January is when panicked clubs offer stupid contracts out of desperation, in which case fair play he should take it as it’s probably his last shot at a big one

I'm sure I saw Charlie McNeil from United mentioned earlier.......... Gone to Newport.

I put “from early impressions” (“seems” also being a key word here) - eg the small amount of time I’ve seen of both White and Mitchell play

As always a quote out of context is meaningless

Ok, but very, very early days with that. White, yes, has had some quality moments, but I've yet to see any evidence of consistency and end product so far. And as for Mitchell, don't know anyone can surmise anything on the limited game time.

So my jury is out and probably will be for some time re Caldwell's ability around finding a player.

I find it really hard to take this source seriously. Razor is the profile photo...

Ah beat me to it, that account is usually quite reliable
