weeyin Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 No real panic. If we didn't bring any more in, our squad is in decent shape. One or two more would be ideal, but we're not scrambling like we have in other recent windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 We’re an attractive proposition, so I’m not worried about us panicking and signing dregs at the eleventh hour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Yep I am feeling OK also. I trust JBA to bring in whoever we require plus only way someone is leaving is if we get a crazy offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 It’s wild how we’ve gone from an incompetent balloon like Kettlewell to a genuinely talented manager in JBA in such a short space of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyhonest Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Welsh is on transfermarket as 800k. That seems a bit rich for us. Maybe we need to speculate to accumulate but it’s been noticeable that our centre backs recently haven’t been centre backs. Maybe it shows we are controlling games and want players to step out from the back and play into midfield but against the ugliest and tarts we might need to reconsider. I think Thor coming in allows a plan B to teams low block so happy so far. Would like a left back though and a centre back. Can’t see us buying anyone though and think loan options will be utilised 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfan1996 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 As per usual there's been a couple more rumours regarding tawanda think it's all just talk but the one that caught my eye was that Turkish clubs are interested Trasbonzspor have the more concrete interest but would only offer 5 million The not so concrete one but the more interesting one was from galatasary for 6.5 and a loan back tik the end of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However let's hope none of our players going anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelllfan Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I think if we lose Maswanhise at this point in the window we've not left ourselves enough time to replace him I think if it was going to happen he'd of been gone before the Scottish Cup game so providing we don't get a ridiculous bid put in for him or he pushes for a move i think he'll be here to the end of the season.

JBA seemed to be of the same opinion. I don't remember his exact wording, but the gist was the club wasn't going to repeat the mistake of letting players go towards the end of the window with no chance to recruit cover. If the 6.5 million and loan back is true, I'd bite your hand off for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stall Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 If he keeps up this form his value is only going to increase & £6.5m in the summer will be reasonable to expect. Probably be a number of options available to the player to explore rather than telling him hes off to Turkey & thats it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 If someone is offering 5m+ for JT, we're accepting it while trying our best to keep a straight face, and will change our phone number the second its signed. Every player at every club has a price, and if someone wants to pay the January premium, then it will happen. I don't think anyone will offer what it would take though. Has a buy and loan back deal actually happened? Or are they as made up as the player + cash deals that don't happen either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 It might be heresy, but I'm still not convinced JT is that good. He's obviously having a fantastic season with us (as is the entire squad), but he still seems quite raw and drifts out of games for long periods of time. He could go on to much bigger and better things, or he could revert back to an 8 goals a season kind of player. It's a gamble for any team signing him, but I'm more than happy to keep him as long as he wants to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stv Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 KVV and Higdon were top of goal scoring tables for us . When we sold them they both reverted to type pretty much immediately and never had seasons scoring like the ones they had with us. TJ is scoring all right but look at they way the rest of the team are playing to allow him the opportunity to score the goals. Is he really worth the millions being talked about after one really good season ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 John Sutton, another good example. Scoring regular for us but went to Hearts and didnt cut it there. Came back to us and started scoring regularly again. Definitely a lot depends on your team Mates and what style/tactics your team plays. Perhaps a similar situation for Watt, absolute standout player in our team but would he excel if he moved to Rangers? However, bottom line, individual will have much better take home pay after a transfer. Other consideration (or gamble) is wait longer to move amd make even more money after a transfer.

And it's up to the suitors to take that gamble. The great thing is, the club have no pressure to sell (at least this window). I'd expect him to move on in the summer however and I'd be hoping to recoup miller money or close to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stall Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 If you had asked me a few months ago if he was worth it i would have said no. However, he's 23 & getting better & better. Potential suitors are speculating on a rising comodity. Unlike KVV or Higdon. If someone wants to eclipse the Miller fee, then its all good news for us & the player.

He was never the most mobile and was like a fish out of water at Tynecastle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club is looking for a goalscorer, so any one that comes into that category and is still only 23 has got to be worth upwards of 10 million. Why should we always seem to sell ourselves short? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
