The January 2025 Transfer Thread

Didn't see the game Monday but whenever I've seen him he's just had very little impact on the game, think he flits around a bit and looks competent but I've just never seen him actually do anything of note.

Blades mate of mine is saying we’re in for Hamer.

 

[Tony Towner]

Not the type of midfielder the manager says he needs, but that's not how we recruit anyway.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't know where we'd play him. Also too much of a barrel shape for my liking.

Dewsbury Hall reminds me of a PL Dave Edwards, his goals mean his deficiencies often get overlooked.

He wishes he had Edwards' PL goals.

He’s only two behind him!

Big KDH needs to up his output by 66% to meet Edwards and he's already played more PL games!

Not in the squad tonight

Edit. Nevermind, he's suspended

Blimey.

We’ll be back in for David Davis by next weekend.

They really don't give a fuck if we go down

Vitor hasn't met Hobbs or Jeff has he

We'd struggle to sign Ben Hamer the way we're run.

No issue with the second part, not a lot else he can say. The first I do think we'll sign the CM and CH, I think they'll be Bellegarde levels of recruitment through panic as clearly who we may have wanted isn't coming

So why is he so currently fixated on a 2 man midfield?

He could have just as easily played 3-5-2 with a 3 man CM and Cunha/Larsen (disregarding latest injury) up front.

There is no formation in which Bellegarde is ‘good’. There might be a good formation for Doyle but it sits with a team in League 1.

His comments on players depend on his mood.

He called Doyle out v Forest but currently holding back on that.

There is a reason we are not playing 3 despite apparently having players who can do it.

Going off Vitor's past I would expect his true feelings to be known in his press conference before we play Blackburn if we let him down

Because he's got a system that he plays and that's it. See also Amorim, R.
