Would take Stansfield from Fulham

Wolves in advanced talks to sign £2.6m Championship starlet Birmingham World

[Raconteur]

One thing i took from Parkers comments on players not wanting to be here so they are not playing, is that Amdouni does want to be here and is not demanding a move.

Surely if he was, he wouldn't have featured yesterday?
Same with Trafford, if he doesn't want to be here, would he have been played?

Wolves in advanced talks to sign £2.6m Championship starlet Birmingham World

Read the article they are just quoting what was said by the wolves reporter yesterday, the clickbait title has done its job

Or his transfer isn’t as far along as say Weghorst and Benson

Birmingham World? Never heard of him

[kentonclaret]

Would take Stansfield from Fulham

Birmingham were very keen to take the player back on loan where he excelled last season.
However, Silva quashed those plans stating that Stansfield would not be going out on loan this season and was very much part of his first team plans.

[claretskeith]

That’s got nothing to do with what you said, you said we need 7 players but we don’t have 7 spaces in the squad unless more leave

I've already said we could sign home-grown players and more players are clearly leaving.

Not knocking Parker but he's just given a convenient answer to an awkward question. Players like Weghorst and Zaroury didn't want to be here when they were on the bench either.

[mdd2]

Given what has gone on this week this wouldnt surprise me.
Talk about selling the family silver our Board seem hell bent on selling the family as well!!!

How many players that featured in our first 2 victories have left the building?
If the price is right they’re off it seems recent appearances or not.

Home grown players doesn’t have anything to do with the amount of spaces in the squad we have

[JR1882]

Tbf Trafford didn’t look like he wanted to be there yesterday along with several others.

[agreenwood]

Tbf Trafford didn’t look like he wanted to be there yesterday along with several others.

I was at Sunderland yesterday.

You obviously saw things I didn’t. What did Trafford do to warrant this accusation?

[claretskeith]

Ah, so it's not 25 plus home-grown players? Then my mistake there. You are right.

We still need 7 new players, so it means selling fringe players.

[fatboy47]

Tbf Trafford didn’t look like he wanted to be there yesterday along with several others.

Trafford is playing in a pretty transparent attempt to keep him in the shop window.
It's pretty obvious now that the alleged Newcastle/Chelsea interest was exaggerated.
He's clearly not fancied by the big boys.

[kentonclaret]

I saw the name of Billing mentioned on here who is not in Bournemouth squad today but came on as a late sub in the first game of the season.
He may be off somewhere if not to us.

[123EasyasBFC]

Ah, so it's not 25 plus home-grown players? Then my mistake there. You are right.

We still need 7 new players, so it means selling fringe players.

What other fringe players other than McNally and al-dakhil that we know about do you suggest selling. We have already sold them. Just happens to be that we have 6 players injured who haven’t featured yet in Beyer Delcroix Ekdal Ramsey Redmond and Tresor

[NickBFC]

I saw the name of Billing mentioned on here who is not in Bournemouth squad today but came on as a late sub in the first game of the season.

Always rated him, thought we should have gone for him when at Huddersfield. Can't see us paying the money/wages though.

[kentonclaret]

Trafford is playing in a pretty transparent attempt to keep him in the shop window.

That statement could be applied to many of our players who have played in the opening fixture(s) and either been sold or strongly linked with a move away.

[burnley007]

Are there ANY rumours of players COMIMG IN??

[claretskeith]

Are there ANY rumours of players COMIMG IN??

Now that would be nice!

[Dark Cloud]

Are there ANY rumours of players COMIMG IN??

No, but Houtondji is being linked with a swap deal for Sam Vokes.
Every cloud.....!

[Newcastleclaret93]

Longside

Come on, jump on this page and give us an update (good or bad).

[123EasyasBFC]

Bournemouth are after a keeper to challenge Neto, been linked with kepa at Chelsea. Wonder if we can temp them with Trafford and swap with travers, billing and Anthony

[Hedontplayforyou]

Birmingham were very keen to take the player back on loan where he excelled last season.
However, Silva quashed those plans stating that Stansfield would not be going out on loan this season and was very much part of his first team plans.

Our friends down the road who we play at the weekend were linked to him recently

[Steddyman]

I'm surprised I am saying this, but I think Trafford has been fine in the two games he has played.

He looks to have bulked up a bit from last season.

[burnley007]

No, but Houtondji is being linked with a swap deal for Sam Vokes.

We would do well out of that deal.

[burnley007]

Agreed. Let's try and keep the odd decent prospect at the club.

[JimmyRobbo]

I’m a sucker for punishment I know but a starting XI of…

Trafford

Roberts
Worral
Esteve
Bashir (don’t rate Pires)

Cullen
Brownhill

Vitinho
Amdouni
Koleosho

Foster

Still sounds v competitive in this league

That is an excellent side when up and running and in stride if fit.

Plenty of reasons to still be positive. (Admittedly, 4 of those have been linked with a move away).

[KRBFC]

Cork? Seriously?

I loved Jack while he was here, but he certainly isn’t the answer. Just like Rodriguez isn’t the answer for us up top.

Sell Sander for £25m and replace him with Cork, the fans will be delighted with that too

[KRBFC]

Maybe I’m in the minority but I don’t see Vitinho as the answer to our RW problems long term

[Newcastleclaret93]

Maybe I’m in the minority but I don’t see Vitinho as the answer to our RW problems long term

I think yesterday showed that.

His final ball is still pretty poor

[claretskeith]

Maybe I’m in the minority but I don’t see Vitinho as the answer to our RW problems long term

Championship level he very much is a top Championship winger but each to their own.

It is, but that is contingent upon Koleosho, Brownhill and Amdouni all staying. There are big questions on that being the case

Fine until your final sentence which rather sums everything up right now!! Maybe once the window closes Parker can actually make some proper plans, settle on a team and tbf he should have enough quality players to make a decent one. However, it'll certainly test his managerial credentials that's for sure!

[burnley007]

All of this talk of players wanting to leave, how much of it do you put down to the WhatsApp message?

Did this trigger the mass exodus?

[Steddyman]

Any transfer rumours? Certainly quieter than under VK's reign.

I miss 6 weeks ago.

[Newcastleclaret93]

All of this talk of players wanting to leave, how much of it do you put down to the WhatsApp message?

Did this trigger the mass exodus?

It’s systemic.

A squad of 40 odd players will always result in turbulent times. Scholes and Carragher explained it perfectly when talking about Chelsea the other day.

They said in a good squad you have 7 players that know 100% there starting every game. 8 players fighting it out for the other 4 places and then 8-10 players that know they are squad players. Thats how you get a nice balance. They then went on to say that the 20 additional players in the squad will be restless and could get toxic very very quickly.

I suspect that’s exactly what’s happened here. We have far too many players that had no chance of playing for us and everything has gone toxic. The decentish players are jumping ship (like they do any workplace).

[BurnleyFC]

All of this talk of players wanting to leave, how much of it do you put down to the WhatsApp message?

I don’t think so.

Why would first team players give a **** about what some
no-mark academy manager with ideas above his station thought of them?

[Row x]

I don’t think so.

And if they are bothered about it, they need to grow a pair.

[Steddyman]

Because this was a message meant for an external third party by a club official, so will interpret that as the offical club view.

That's how I read it - it was a WA sent by mistake.

Alan’s been getting advice from the sales director at this local firm

Wishful thinking

[burnley007]

This just made me spit my tea out. It's like someone is just making stuff up to be funny now.

[bumba]

Jack cork can comfortably still play at championship level

He wasn't comfortable in the championship two years ago

[123EasyasBFC]

He wasn't comfortable in the championship two years ago

How do you work that one out? He played a massive part in a team that got 101 points and only lost 3 times

[mdd2]

This just made me spit my tea out. It's like someone is just making stuff up to be funny now.

Just a loan to Dundee

[TsarBomba]

Assist for Zaroury on his debut for Lens.
