January Silly Season Transfer Thread 2019/20

[Riversider]

David Stockdale gone to Wycombe.

Strange - he got promoted at Brighton and for all purpose did well - don't get why he's gone to Wycombe, unless a personal family matter. He's definitely got the quality to play in the championship. Appreciate Wycombe are looking good for promotion but still.

He's been on loan at Wycombe before, his career ended when he got fat and comfortable in life, he's far more interested in vintage cars now than he is in football, if he's good enough for The Championship how come none of the 24 clubs were interested in acquiring his service ?

He is also 34 years old, he isn't exactly a spring chicken anymore.

Only played a handful of games at league 1 level for the last season and a half.

Did we know that Mitro has an option to leave this summer if we don’t go up ? I didn’t !

Sounds strange - giving him an incentive to underperform

It's just a paper rumour, but even if it's fundamentally true, what difference does it make?

Arguably any player has an option to leave if we don't go up. If they say they don't want to be here anymore and won't give 100%, would we really force them to stay and reject reasonable offers from. Other clubs?

Mitrovic in particular is someone who's capable of playing at a much better level than the Championship so personally I've always doubted that he'll stay beyond next summer if we don't go up.

If this rumour about a contractual clause is true, it only makes a difference if it has a low trigger price, eg of it says we have to accept any offers above £15m.

Not having a dig at you but I can see how it could have come across that way so apologies

Rumour that we've rejected a high offer for Mitro from Tottenham and have priced him at £40 million. If that's the case, it goes against the original post of being in a weak/er bargaining position.

I cannot see Mitrovic staying, unless we have a better chance of going up than this season. Next season, parachute payments decrease so we will lose players, and the teams going down this year will be strong next year. Parker will have less expensive players and will have to convince Mitovoic he will do better this season.

This Club has been over-reliant on Tony Khan bringing inexpensive players and once Mitro realizes that Fulham's era of buying players is over, then he will have to assess whether Parker is the kind of manager that can get out of the Championship with the third or fourth-best team on paper (like Brentford might do).

🔁 Burnley have recalled @nahkiwells.

From the Ha ha’s, wonder if Burnley plan on playing him or selling or another loan.

[sarnian]

Wells probably being sold to Bristo City.

[humussapiens]

Good insight to transfer business by Blackburn...

There was a news paper report of this the other day, that report also said they can wait to the summer and get him for 25 million if we dont go up.

If we do go up i guess 40 mill becomes 50 or 60 mil

Good player, if he hits the ground running he's a massive asset for them

Yep, looks decent from his time at RB, not sure what happened at Monaco to lead to this point.

Anyway lets hope he struggles to adapt to the championship and fails to have an impact for them.

Really? 12 in 42 for Leipzig, 0 for Monaco in 10.
