Iles: "Centre-halves still being sought at bwfc - and evidently a lot of calls out. Pretty sure they will have at least one sorted by the weekend."

Re: Onwards and Downwards: 2020 transfer speculation thread.
Not a lot visibly happening today, and not just because TW was down (always a worry, thanks for sorting it).
Ipswich site TWTD is saying Nsiala might be a loan-to-buy job. Not sure why we'd use one of our remaining loan slots, unless there's a fiscal reason – namely that Ipswich would still pay some of his wages but be happy to cut their losses; however, it looks like Nsiala, who was valued at £750,000 in the £2m double-deal with Jon Nolan from Shrewsbury 18 months ago, still has 18 months on his contract.
As Iles notes, deals can be struck - Daryl and Emmanuel were among those contracted elsewhere but released to join us. But we'll see.

Re: Onwards and Downwards: 2020 transfer speculation thread.
Can only be a loan surely? We can't pay a fee and are limited on wages to £2K per week. So someone would have to pay off the rest (and presumably its a sizeable chunk). Ipswich won't - why would they? So a loan makes sense - where the commitment is minimised on both sides. Then in the summer Ipswich can try hawking him around again to see if they can get a better deal than we're able to offer. Only way I can see him joining otherwise is if he the player agrees to forgo the rest of his Ipswich contract - and take the wages hit.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 2:49 pmNot a lot visibly happening today, and not just because TW was down (always a worry, thanks for sorting it).

So why didn't Ipswich make us loan Josh Emmanuel?
I mean, I agree that a loan is more likely but we'll see.

Re: Onwards and Downwards: 2020 transfer speculation thread.
Maybe Ipswich are looking to get fringe players off the wage bill? Or players with no first team future?

I imagine that his wages were far closer to what we could offer. And he only had a year left.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 5:36 pmSo why didn't Ipswich make us loan Josh Emmanuel?

Madine has just been released by Cardiff...
Not sure he fancies League two on £2k a week mind

I wouldn't get out of bed for £2K a week. Much less move to Sunderland!Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 11:40 pmSunderland, surelyofficer_dibble wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 9:40 pmMadine has just been released by Cardiff...

Re: Onwards and Downwards: 2020 transfer speculation thread.
I remember Nsiala from the Shrewsbury team of 2 years ago. He is powerful and attacks everything, and against decent, pacy forwards is a penalty against waiting to happen. A lot more of those in the Champ than L1 so on that basis it might be a good signing. He and Zouma would be an entertaining and chaotic CB pairing...

If he’s a penalty waiting to happen we are fecked!
Re: Onwards and Downwards: 2020 transfer speculation thread.
Not sure this looks like a well formulated plan to me. More scrabbling around for anything we can get.

Re: Onwards and Downwards: 2020 transfer speculation thread.
When you're under an embargo offering under £2000 a week - that's exactly what it is and always will be. I guess the difficulty is that we'd have to have comitted on Earl/Wright and doing so would have limited scope to add new ones. But it does look risky - however, we'll end up with someone eventually and then we'll see if it has paid off. I personally think Wright was ok and I'll be surprised if we end up with a significant upgrade on him. For me our big weakness is midfield. Especially without Bridcutt as the shield in there.

We don’t appear to have made an formal announcement re bridcutt - presumably still trying to get him back.
Agree with you re Wright - I think he struggled with the Christmas schedule hence looking leggy re Burton (with no midfield in front, and down to 10
2 games on the bounce).

I must admit I am surprised we jettisoned Earl.
He seemed decent at both CB and LB, which given the limitations imposed on our squad size seems even more valuable...

Re: Onwards and Downwards: 2020 transfer speculation thread.
Apparently Chicksen's contract elapses on Sunday so he's in for the match we've not yet got a thread for...
Also, LoV points out that young George Thomason (the midfielder signed from non-league, not the United loanee) is not in the U23 squad for this afternoon's game - could he be in the seniors for tomorrow?

Given lack of midfield options could well imagine him on the bench. Be surprised if he's chucked straight in.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2020 1:01 pmApparently Chicksen's contract elapses on Sunday so he's in for the match we've not yet got a thread for...

Mind given we have no senior centre halves I don't suspect we're getting much out of tomorrow's game.

Buckley has left the building.
Re: Onwards and Downwards: 2020 transfer speculation thread.
Not really sure why we wouldn't re-sign Chicksen.
