BFC TRANSFER NEWS Jan 2020(MUST CONTAIN LINK)

‘Preparing’ means Clive Holt firing up the fax machine.

Slightly delayed as he is trying to figure out how to replace the toner

[Goobs]

Moukoudi is 22

That just shows how slowly we go about our business

[Long Time Lurker]

Not buying it personally, seems like the standard 3-4 club agent link

It would be a strange signing, considering that we could have picked him up in the Summer window on a free transfer.

Signing him on loan, with a view to making it permanent, would be tantamount to admitting a costly mistake was made.

[NewClaret]

The more I read about Bright Samuel, the more I like. This would be a great signing.

Just watched Samuel and Eze on YouTube. I’m sold, sign them up

[SGr]

Eze is just pure class, really hope we get involved on that front although I imagine there'll be competition. We could triple our money on the bloke within a couple of seasons.

Daily Mail linking us with a loan deal for Stephen N'Zonzi

Ticks all the boxes:
Central midfield
31 years old
Ex-Stoke City

[Bullabill]

Still astounding that with only a few days of the window left we haven’t added to our fragile squad. Astounding but not surprising.

In my dictionary Astounding means Surprising.

[Murger]

No way N'Zonzi joins to be a bench warmer.

[Woodleyclaret]

Re transfers expect none and you won't be disappointed
Sean always said he cant see us getting anyone in

[Grumps]

Depends how much you believe the garbage that comes out of press articles. Garlick said last week we would end the window stronger. If you believe him then there will be signings, even if it's only to replace drinkwater, otherwise we end up weaker

If WHU are now in the frame, that takes us out

[Tricky Trevor]

Eliasson, mentioned higher up the thread, not for sale at any price. According to the Daily Record, Celtic were interested.

[jedi_master]

Nzonzi might be 31 but he immediately improves on what we have. I think he would be a quality addition for 18 months or so.

That’s debatable.

[NewClaret]

Eze is just pure class, really hope we get involved on that front although I imagine there'll be competition. We could triple our money on the bloke within a couple of seasons.

One option might be to either buy now with a loan back to qpr for the rest of the season, or offer them Vydra as well on loan. They may be happy with Wells + cash + Vydra. Either way, if we want either Eze or Samuel, we need to secure them now while we have Wells to offer. Can’t imagine they’ll want to let their top scorer go!

An actual link

Would prefer we work on lowering the age of the squad, although I’d love to see us go in for Phillips again if Leeds stay down, so maybe a loan to tide us over is a good idea. Can’t see it though to be honest.

The way we work with transfers I'm more inclined to believe SD than Garlick. I've said all along I don't think we'll sign anyone and nothing that's been in the prerss has changed my mind but I would love to be proved wrong.

[1HappyClaret]

David Ornstein (The Athletic) has linked us with Ronald Vieira. England U21 currently at Sampdoria. West Hsm also linked.

If no one leaves or arrives, aside from Drinkwater then surely the squad is at the same standard as before, rather than being any weaker?

[MACCA]

2 or 3 departures, same for arrivals.

Unprecedented week for us this week in terms of January transfer windows

[snail12345]

who is this Eze …. without sounding solid I think I missed this one

[ecc]

Nzonzi: Signing for Rennes according to this morning's French press.

[mdd2]

2 or 3 departures, same for arrivals.

Unprecedented week for us this week in terms of January transfer windows

Wells, Gibson and Vydra?
That leaves as strikers Wood, Rodders and a crocked Barnes and to replace Wells and Vydra with a decent striker would cost most of next season's transfer budget in this division plus our dry powder stash

[williamjblazkowicz]

Excerpt from David Ornstein article on The Athletic re Sampdoria central midfielder Ronaldo Vieira:

Another club monitoring Vieira closely are Burnley, who sent their senior scout Ian Butterworth to the match. Butterworth has now watched Vieira on a number of occasions but Burnley are not expected to move for him in this window.

[snail12345]

ok just read up and watched a video of Eze, he seems ok but he does the crazy jesse lingard dances and hand shakes. Can't really see that catching on

[Grumps]

If no one leaves or arrives, aside from Drinkwater then surely the squad is at the same standard as before, rather than being any weaker?

When fit, drinkwater was on the bench, now replaced with untried youth player, so definitely weaker, plus we don't know how long Barnes will be out, so for me no argument it's weaker

[mdd2]

What Grumps said

[Grimsdale]

Latest from Nixon:

"Big Russian interest in Vydra. Their deadline late in February. Going to cause headaches with Wells future. Burnley won’t sell both. Wells current valuation 7m ... could get more for Vydra."

[CFS]

David Ornstein (The Athletic) has linked us with Ronald Vieira. England U21 currently at Sampdoria. West Hsm also linked.

Played on turf for Leeds couple of years back when they kicked us out the cup looked decent then.

[Grumps]

Latest from Nixon:

"Big Russian interest in Vydra. Their deadline late in February. Going to cause headaches with Wells future. Burnley won’t sell both. Wells current valuation 7m ... could get more for Vydra."

One reason why all transfer windows should close at the same time

[Firthy]

Latest from Nixon:

"Big Russian interest in Vydra. Their deadline late in February. Going to cause headaches with Wells future. Burnley won’t sell both. Wells current valuation 7m ... could get more for Vydra."

Which means Wells recalled so we can sell Vydra. Makes me think even more there will be no signings.

[Jakubs Tash]

Latest from Nixon:

"Big Russian interest in Vydra. Their deadline late in February. Going to cause headaches with Wells future. Burnley won’t sell both. Wells current valuation 7m ... could get more for Vydra."

Sell them both then buy Bowen. Neither Wells or Vydra contribute. Vydra is literally just cover but will never play. Tell the Russians the deal must be done this week or not at all.

[warksclaret]

Jakubs -you need to be working in the recruitment team with that sort of thinking

[Long Time Lurker]

‘Preparing’ means Clive Holt firing up the fax machine.

Deus Fax Machina

A piece of electrical office equipment that can be introduced to the stage in order to resolve the conflict and conclude the drama. The device is associated mostly with Greek tragedy, although it has also appeared in comedies.

[claretandy]

Wells recalled....

[snail12345]

lets see what happens

[ClaretMov]

Nzonzi: Signing for Rennes according to this morning's French press.

A good few club's after him, West ham and Aston villa just to name two English clubs we are up against so we have no chance, if it was Wigan and Accrington Stanley instead we might of stood half a chance, fake news move on.

After 30 years, I think it might be time to demonstrate some forward progression and sign up for a new email account.

snail23456 is available

[NewClaret]

Wells recalled....

Going to be an interesting week, I think.

Hoping we go for quality over quantity!

[ClaretMov]

NewClaret don't hold your breath, it will a bench warmer like the previous 4 transfer windows

[ClaretAL]

"Our current valuations on the player are far apart and we cannot agree to a deal which will leave us in breach of FFP (Financial Fair Play regulations, which are now known as profit and sustainability rules),"Lee Hoos said.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51265379

[ClaretAndJew]

Miles apart in valuation yet we do the same when buying a player.

Looks like a week long transfer stalemate boys I hope you're all ready.

[Down_Rover]

Looks to me that we recalled Wells simply because QPR cannot pay a fee for him

[ClaretAL]

Harold Moukoudi

Leeds United and Burnley are keen on St-Etienne defender Harold Moukoudi. West Bromwich Albion, Derby County and Stoke City are also interested in the 22-year-old, who is available on an initial loan deal. (L’Equipe)

https://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/fo ... rs-1376437

[Pearcey]

I see we’ve signed Henri Ogunby for the U23s till the end of the season.

[Woodleyclaret]

When the name Hoos came into the equation it was always a chance the deal would go tits up
