Grant's a good signing, a proper upgrade on Etete and Harris. Makes the Ugbo deal look a bit strange mind?
Still only 25, feels like he's been around forever but has scored goals at this level before. A forward line of O'Dowda, Ramsey, Robinson & Grant is very good at this level
Three or four years ago the notion of him going out on loan to a club that needed another team’s points deduction to stay in the Championship would have been absurd, my only question is what’s gone wrong for him?
Hope it’s not payback for Zohore.
Still, encouraging signs though and an improvement compared to our striking options this time last year.
Stop dropping your aitches :hehe:Quote:

Good for him imo and needed, so he can back on track post-injury:

That would be one hell of a fall from grace for Ojo, surely he has options above League 2?
Davies needs a loan, those are all good sides
This was my first thought. I guess it depends on what sort of team formations Bulut intends to play.Quote:

Vontae Campbell was a shocking signing and if his agent can find a taker, he deserves every penny of his bonus.
If we can replace Jack Simpson and also move Sawyers on I think it'll be a brilliant window (although I guess Bulut will want to have a look at Sawyers first).
And if we can swap at least one of our keepers, it'll be perfect. I wonder what the new GK coach makes of them.
That’s big.Quote:

I wonder who’s making these decisions? I’m not sure Bulut can make the assessment on players this quickly? Is he being guided to what’s gone on previously?
Of course. The club apparently has a recruitment team (put in place by Neil Harris I believe) and a couple of performance analysis guys. There is no way in the world that Bulut would have known much (if anything) about the likes of Meite and Grant. The only signing that looks like one of his so far is Goutas.Quote:

They have already set their sights on him, now a formal offer is missing. However, expert media speculate that there could be strong interest in this gem, which Transfermarkt has valued at 3 million euros.
I'm not sure how accurate that part is.
we were linked with him weeks ago, I'm guessing we've signed other targets since thenQuote:

Whoever has been bringing in the unknown names or loan signings is doing a decent job. Why then weren't they more involved with morisons scattergun generally diabolical signings last summer?Quote:

It may take right up to the transfer window’s final days toget there, but I reckon the Baggies might be open to an offer to take over Kipre’s contract from us if they still are in a situation where they have to shift players out late next month.
I'm gonna throw my hat into the ITK ring and say Alex Mowatt is the next WBA player we steal.
I'd agree with your second sentence, but I'd reserve judgement on the 1st. I think Ramsay and Grant are good signings, but the 1st three are gambles.Quote:

Ugbo is a bit of a gamble though
Begovic on a free from Everton to QPR, he’s 36 but wonder if he could have done a job for us.
Kipre given number 4 at WBA suggests he will be in and around their first team.
Gluey’ll be pleased, we’ve been linked with Charlie Savage.

don't see the point unless it would be a permanent deal, which it won't as we can't pay anythingQuote:
