RichAcklam2404 929 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Warnock said yesterday that he spoke to a player (winger I assume) from the premier league who said he doesn’t want to make a quick decision as he is now in the match day squad. My guess is Grosicki, bombed out by Bilic and now he’s on the bench for Big Sam. He could well stay and fight for his place. The other player he spoke to said he can’t move yet as they have a few injuries at the moment and need to wait to see if they are fit to return by the end of Jan. I get the impression that this player wants to come though. Not sure who it may be. Link to post Share on other sites
Essuuaitch 330 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 very quiet on incomings talk other than revamping of Bolasie interest. i,d be also keeping tabs on a couple of top quality players currently not getting gametime at this level, Puskas at reading and Tom Ince. outgoings are more pressing imo and id be inclined to bite the bullet on three ,in particular which could land us maybe ,with luck 20 m . Britt is still a striker with a reputation at this level, albeit a dwindling one due to the boro influence. id also sell Saville and if there genuinely is interest at 5m or thereabouts id let Spence go too. i honestly believe Fletcher is a better striker with more potency than britt , we have easily 3 more productive midfielders than Savulle and that Spence is not going to get a whole lot better than he is now.

TLF10 4,496 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Apparently forest are happy to let Joe lolley leave in Jan. His form has nose dived it seems but so has most of the forest squads. Obviously we could not afford a permanant deal but maybe a loan. Remember an article over summer where Warnock listed his 5 players to watch this season and named Lolley as one of them so he clearly a fan of his. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,496 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 And here are the likely wide players who could be available in Jan on loan along with Lolley:- Bolasie Grosicki Snodgrass Kebano Kamara (Fulham) Jack Clarke Oliver Burke Josh Murphy (Cardiff) Junior Holliett Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,734 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I'd love Kebano. We know he can do it at this level, and he's something very different to out current options. Link to post Share on other sites

Suppose he might come in on relatively low wages compared to the rest of the squad maybe. So are more happy to tie him down longer. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 @TLF10 Think you can cross Holliet and Burke off the list, both have been fairly regular starters for Cardiff and Sheffield United. Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure I'd agree with any of this I'm afraid. Britt in some aspects I think cutting our losses is worth it, then in other aspects I'm not sure it is. Selling Saville would be ridiculous, unless a stupid offer came in, he's really stepped up this year, and I think some of that is he has a bit more of a license to get forward. Spence hasn't really been give much of a chance to play in his natural position, often being played further forwards with little or no effect on the game. Having him as cover for Dijksteel is perfect for me, still has a lot to improve on, but is a very capable back up at right back. Link to post Share on other sites

Demarai gray fits this also - he made the bench and got on the pitch for the first time this season in the last game week. Link to post Share on other sites

I've read in some places that Spurs are looking at signing him on a free in the summer. If true that puts us well out of the race. Also seen Roma and Benfica linked with him recently too!

Can’t see this happening, much bigger clubs after him. What’s Marc Albrighton doing these days ? Link to post Share on other sites

My bad. Thought Burke was out the team again after a few starts and Holliet just come in due to injuries as Ojo and Wilson were favoured pair on flanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Snowblind 1,734 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Luke Jephcott has scored for Plymouth again. Looks a real talent up top that lad. Only 20, Welsh u21 international. Clinical finisher, holds the ball up well. I'd be looking at him if I were Boro. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
