Transfer deadline day thread

If Bowler does go I think we'll move quickly for Morgan Rogers on loan from City and sign both Norburn and Brannigan. sad to see Josh go though as he's improving by the minute.
 
Just had a look on the Oxford forum and they seem to be getting worried about Brannigan, whilst at the same time rubbishing the North and our beer.
 
Unfortunately we don’t know what’s in Bowlers contract or what the lad wants. It’s quite possible he has a release clause himself. He’s a southerner and only 22 so may well want to head back South or move to a big city. He may even have a gentleman agreement in place which means we’ve agreed in principle to let him move if a certain bid comes in. All possibilities but I absolutely agree if possible I wouldn’t let him go for less than £4 million cold hard cash and a minimum 25% sell on clause.

If we were to let him go for that, our plan to get proper fees for players under SS would have fallen at the first test.

Let’s hope this 1.5 million talk is all bullshit.

Bowler is definitely worth more than 1.5 Million and I'd be slightly disappointed if we sold for that fee with no sell-on, but if we took a player we signed for nothing in the Summer and then flipped him for 1.5 Million in 6 months it still wouldn't be bad business.

"Fulham midfielder Fabio Carvalho could move to Liverpool in a deal which could see the 19-year-old, who has played for England at youth levels, loaned back to the Championship club until the end of the season." If this happens then Bowler to Fulham becomes less likely in this window. I genuinely believe the longer we hold on to Bowler the higher is value will grow. Also, I would expect more interest from the Premier League.

He not the same player at all, he plays more of a free role and drifts in. Bowler is a nailed on right winger.

Do we really need to strengthen in midfield? It might be nice but given our league position and the players who are still to come back from injury what we've got already should be more than adequate.

At this stage I'd say CB is too expensive and we'd be better off keeping the money and looking at other options in the summer.

We 100% need to strengthen there!

It would given the model we're aspiring too. And given Bowler is at the stage where he is getting better at an increasing rate. That reflects in his value, so selling him at the base of his rise would be madness imo.

It would be bad business for me. He’s worth way more than £1.5 million that valuation is a joke.

Why?

We're safe from relegation, not really pushing for play-offs, we've got enough CM's for now and others to come back from injury, rather than paying silly money now why not wait and see if better value's available in the summer?
 
Oxford just announced a signing. Their fans are just getting sweetened up before Cameron Brannagan gets announced for us 🍊
 
Morgan not going to Huddersfield, seems it's between Hibs and us. Worryingly that could be the replacement lined up for Bowler?
 
1.5 as said is a joke, keep him then let’s see what price he attracts at the end of the season (as he just looks to keep getting better) it will also give us time to plan a proper replacement

1.5 isn't a joke, and our offer of a 1 million for CB isn't a joke either. I'd rather we kept him, but one swallow doesn't make a summer - ok three of four swallows maybe make a summer ;) ... if his fee is used well, then all ok. If we lose any of our top players and fail to replace them, then it will be a bad day. Ideal outcome - no top players leave and we bring in a top CM.

A swallow would make your day though...

This is the same Bowler who a month ago was said be inconsistent with no end product, a luxury player who should be an impact sub?

Just checking...

Lol true a few did say that. Regardless, he is class and one of a few players we have who could make the step up. You dont sell these players if you want to get into a play off scrap.

1.5 is a joke, his potential in 5-10 mill if we can keep him and he improves. He is rarity these days, not many players who can rip up your defence no matter how organised, plus he is in a league above compared to CB. Brenna J at Forest rated in the 18 mill bracket, wasn't great against us in The PO final.

We will have to pay 1.2 or 1 plus Thornily for a league one player who may or may not be shit hot but has never played above league one.

The 1.5 valuation for Bowler has to be rubbish. He’s turning championship defenders inside out FFS.

I doubt Everton would see the funny side. I really hope we keep him - let's keep it real though.
