Onuachu. On u ach u. Not sure if that helps.

Not seen him myself, so I'll take your word for it. No concern he might be flat track bully or struggle to make an impact when we are not dominating

I'm not crazy about those three, but at least they are realistic targets. I presume we have made a few enquiries about keepers, but if we have, there haven't been any leaks. Maybe because they are enquiries about loans and there's no value for selling clubs leaking that info

Will they get £30m?

You missed Carvalho. As we have seemingly bid, that perhaps reinforces that the club are going down that route of wanting that little bit more experience this time around.

He alluded to him being negative. For all we know he just didn't think passing the ball across our own six yard box made sense. RM obviously doesn't agree and never the twain shall meet. He could very well just be a pain in the arse, who knows. It mute. He will depart again on some form.

Very good idea. A case in point is Hudson Odoi who really looked good at Forrest last year. Exactly the kind of young talented player we want, but had not quite got it going at Chelsea despite getting to big contract. That said, maybe given time, we will be praising the Charles and Edozie signings. Perhaps a varied transfer approach is the best idea.

Fair point, but when we do get the ball the last thing you want is a midfielder getting bing it back to them. That is what Charley has done too much of since he got here.

Was very excited by his signing. Have felt south America, and especially Argentina, was the ideal place for us to find talent. From memory though, his first touch and decision-making (passing choices) were just not up to scratch in the Prem. The goals he scored tended to gloss over this. He caught the eye, but equally he was pretty poor in many games. In the championship, with time to settle, he just did not improve enough in those two facets of the game and I fully understood RMs decision to eventually drop him and then let him go out on loan. He has a long contract, so we either need to see improvement in the next half season or we will look to loan him again. If we loan him out, we need him playing a lot otherwise we are never going to get a serious bid for him.

Newcastle really have our number at their place, so far from confident, but looking forward to seeing us play again.

Who are we playing left wing back?

Don't see the players complaining about being paid ludicrous sums for heading on a decade or being paid ludicrous sums while being loaned to other clubs. The only complaints come from the rest of the Prem, who can't afford to do the same.

Not a big fan myself. From what I saw he was a reasonable championship keeper, but no more. Maybe that's the best we can do, but I don't think he sorts out our keeping issue at this level. Some may disagree.

Have they even bid for him? All I've read is about personal terms, nothing related to negotiations with Burnley. They want Onuachu. An €8.5m deal will get it done.

I hope we don't have to buy out his seven year contract.

Let's not do that. We don't want an injury to a player that is almost certain to depart. The two clubs seem to be roughly about €2.5m apart right now. According to the Turkish press they have offered €5m+€2.5m and we want €10m.

Onuachu will go to Trabzonspor. Both parties know it, it's just a case of who blinks first.

I'm not familiar with his work, but I like your thinking.

yada yada yada. Talk us through how you'd get these deals, both in and out, over the line. The club wants these players in and out. They are not making low bids just so they can say they tried. They are trying to get players for the amount they value them and to ensure they remain in budget. I find it bizaar that fans think the club spends it's transfer window worrying about the optics.

Didn't he play up front for Sheffield last season?

A bit of positivity on here is nice.

Che out, BBD in. Are we even looking for another striker? You'd imagine we'd need to offload Onuachu (and maybe another one or even two) at a bare minimum before another comes in. Simon Banza is not in Braga squad for their European games. However, look like Marseilles are interested.

Dubrovnik isn't much of a step up on McCarthy. Is there another option?

Many thanks for posting that. Obviously it's Blackmore not RMs words, but it clears a lot up. Great to hear actual reason why Carvalho didn't come here in January.

This. Absolutely this. And genuine interest, not agent placed bullshit that makes fans feel better when they sign.
