By being secretive, we got knockaert, so I am all for the quiet approach to our transfer business

Did we not have AK earlier in the window than this is now?

Love your optimism. It would be hard to top last January with Knockaert and also Skalak who played his part.
However, this secretive stance was bandied about on here in August and we ended up doing nothing and started the season with 3 strikers and Elvis, so 3 strikers. I thought that this would mean playoff spots at best come January but credit to CH for proving me wrong, but we have to also consider a large part of that is because we've managed to keep those 3 strikers fit throughout.
Of course, if it wasn't for Prickhard's agent it would have probably all gone to plan, but it did seem we rested all our hopes on that one deal, with no contingency.
I don't know which way it will go this time. Considering we have cleared the decks as such; getting shot of Manu as an option (if he ever even was an option) and KLL certainly suggests we may have something in the pipeline, perhaps even agreed already but i'm also preparing myself to be disappointed which means cringing and wincing at every tackle that goes GM/TH/SB's way for the next 4 months.
About 2 weeks earlier iirc

Signed on the 7th January, but came from nowhere. I do not remember many rumours linking us before he signed

More goals in half a season than his entire career. Is it a one-off? Birmingham are sniffing around him.
Ollie Watson at Exeter is another lower league player worth watching and maybe a punt. Very pacy. Good ball control. Could certainly fill the support-striker role.
Still fancy it'll be either Russell from Derby or Keane.
Well within our budget, then?

Reckon we'll get a foreign striker next Thursday
Foreign does include Ireland
and Scotland ?

Yes. Are we after a Scottish player then?
Slim pickings today, from the beeb:-
Brentford striker Scott Hogan, 24, is expected to complete a move to West Ham this week. (Sky Sports)
Barnsley midfielder Conor Hourihane, 25, has admitted that his head has been turned by interest from Championship rivals Aston Villa.(Birmingham Mail)

Hogan to West Ham might well mean Fletcher is available for loan. Not sure if he's any good but Andy Naylor made a point of mentioning him the other day when West Ham under 23's played against us.

Don't care where Hogan goes, as long as he does go. Preferably late in the window, so he's not there to face us next Sunday, and any replacement is not ready to play.

HITC reporting Dunk wanted by Southampton as Fonte replacement.
Then again HITC hardly known as being a reliable source, think they just make shit up on the spot.

Not a chance of that happening....£50 million and TB may just twitch!
I'd actually be astonished if they were NOT looking at Dunk.
He's not available, fortunately.
