Jas10 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Apparently, Norwich have enquired about McCormack now. Any deal should be a permanent one imo, it doesn't make sense to loan him out (seen a lot of reports suggesting a loan move within the Championship). I want him gone but if it's not going to be a permanent move we may as well try & give him a second chance rather than risking strengthening a rival (as unlikely as it seems he would). Seems like his value has plummeted, otherwise a swap deal for Brady would be very enticing... Edited January 29, 2017 by Jas10 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Sadly we won't get Brady. I'd imagine Burnley will make a late move having missed out on Snodgrass. Would still prefer we sold McCormack as opposed to loaning him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Selling to a rival should not be a loan Why should we do them any favours either pay up or do one 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pay £10 million and £20,000 a week so he can help another team try and finish above us. I don't think the Dr is that daft.

Delphinho123 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) So, looks like the remaining targets are: Bedeau, Taylor, Barrow & Rhodes. Based on gossip of course. I'd take all 4. If we sign Rhodes, I imagine Kodjia will play out on the left. I think we will bring in a completely random player as well, like we did with Bjarnason. It's been a great window. We've addressed the two areas we really needed to strengthen. Edited January 29, 2017 by Delphinho123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have liked a solid, experienced keeper instead of replacing one young prospect with another. We also spent the whole month without replacing the strikers that were heading to the AFCON, resulting in several losses without scoring. Other than that it's been a decent window and hopefully we can have a good summer too and push for the play offs next season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If still in this division next year I'd expect to be pushing for automatic promotion rather than the play offs with the squad we have got . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, Bobsy. We should be giving it everything every time. Life has too many variables to just mark time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Yep, Tshibola gone. He needs games. If this is the only way he is going to get them, then it's a good move. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if SJ will be good enough for the rest of the season. Sadly, I suspect not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteExile Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Annoyed, if that is true. Would have liked to see him alongside Angela and Hurricane on Tuesday. Jedinak is gash with the ball at his feet and has the turning circumference of the QE2. That's not going to suddenly change even with better players in the side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
