[GT49er]

Players bought in January 2024:
Players sold in January 2024:
Current Season Long Loans: Beadle (Oxford Utd), Sima (Rangers), Scherpen (2025/Sturm Graz), Koslowski (2026/Vitesse Arnhem), Sarmiento (2027+1 Year Option/ WBA), Leonard (2025+ 1 yr/Northampton), Rushworth (Swansea), Turns (2025+1/Leyton Orient), Undav (2026/Stuttgart), Weir (Blackpool), Offiah (Hearts), Ayari (2027/Coventry), Moran (2027/Blackburn), Peupion (2024/Cheltenham), Alzate ( Standard Liege)

Offiah's and Peupion's loans now terminated.

 

[b.w.2.]

Yeah, FB is the obvious requirement (two if possible). We should have signed in the summer. I believe Solly may be out for season. If so, RW a must. RDZ seems to be saying Carlos not ready so a DCM a must too. That’s the 4 priority positions

 

[b.w.2.]

Offiah's and Peupion's loans now terminated.

Cam could help in Solly’s extended absence. Offiah is a CB isn’t he? I am guessing not ready tho? Another loan for him maybe? Anyway, the press are saying Sarmiento is likely coming home for winger cover so Cam may go out on loan again too

Offiah has played Right Back, but his last loan with Hearts was going really well and was then cut short because of a medical issue. I haven't heard anything since

Wigan are after him.

Yeah he played RB in the States. But is he a RB? Genuine question

 

[seagullwedgee]

No, that was Martin Offiah….

Whenever I have seen him play, senior level or U23s (which has been rarely), he's played RB so he certainly has experience there, but I think he's always described as a centre back, so I'm not sure

 

[Munchkin]

Think we need to manage expectations, the club don’t like to do business in the January window. 1 or 2 additions (max) and the likely recall of Sarmiento, along with the incoming Mazilu.

Possibly a surprise loan deal in there somewhere… someone like Emile Smith Rowe would be a great addition.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Sarmiento has returned

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Sarmiento has returned

Good news

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Sarmiento has returned

I think he'll start tomorrow

 

[WATFORD zero]

I thought before the season started that this could be Sarmiento's breakthrough year and was disappointed to see him go out on loan. There's still time

Excellent shout for Smith-Rowe, loan plus summer buy if it works out for both parties.

Odel Offiah didn't go on the US tour.

 

[KZNSeagull]

According to RDZ in todays press conference they haven't spoken about the transfer window yet, so don't get your hopes up.

Of course they have, he just doesn't want to give anything away.

 

[GT49er]

No, that was Martin Offiah….

No, it's Odel.

Whoosh.

How did they notify him, that his loan was being cut short? Did someone ring Offiah?
