Obafemi Out - Gelhardt & Barnes in

[Blackpooljack]

Some esteemed posters on here will argue the the Yanks are turning us into a well run club but when each year that passes and we flog off more and more of the family silver eventually we'll be a well run league one/two club

 

[Risc]

Gelhartd apparently on mega wages which are being covered by Sunderland, can’t afford these types of loans any longer.

Its confirmed gelhardt gone to Sunderland.

Yep. Can’t compete with that.

Are we even getting Barnes then?

Ain't that the truth.... The spiral of diminishing returns.

I can't say the thought of Ashley Barnes fills me with any excitement at all? Is this a definite one or a 2+2 because Obafemi has gone to sulk up there!

Gelhardt I think could be a decent player but given he didn't show it in either game against Cardiff then it'sno great loss - my view here is if we are looking to loan a forward then we may as well stick with Whittaker, at least if he does a decent job his value goes up and that at least benefits us!

I agree with that, much better use Whittaker for the rest of this season and free up the loan spots for some pacy wide players / forwards.

Addressing the lack of pace in the squad is the no;1 priority, imo.

Well if we are honest, we were probably never even near the running for Gelhardt, the lad who has been recalled from Hudds by Villa who you mentioned earlier is the market we are in Phil.

Agree on Whittaker aswell.

I agree with you, but based on his team selections and transfer dealings so far, I don't think the manager does. :?

Ashley Barnes didn’t come off the bench today for Burnley in their draw at Ipswich.

 

[sainthelens]

I'd look at Barnes as having the same effect that Christie had here. Albeit a different position, solid, hopefully reliable if not pulling up any trees.

 

[Swanjaxs]

So this is my prediction.
Paterson and Whittaker out for a tidy sum.
A couple of loan signings in late on Tuesday to keep the unwashed reasonably hopeful.
I doubt very much if Sky will be sending down a roving reporter to SA1 again this window.

At least Mindy and Oprah will be getting something out of it anyway

Notice the wordings changed. Its now OPTION to buy.

Was previously OBLIGATION. Shambles
