How many players are we going to sign this transfer window?

[Donkey dangler 0]

Assuming we sell, Olsson, Canos and Brady for say £19m in total.

How many players (excluding youth players and loans) do you think we are going to sign in this transfer window?

I am going for 3.

[morty 0]

I don''t think we''ll sell Canos.I''d say 3 also.

[mr footy 36]

We need 6 but will sign 2maybe 3.

[Highland Canary 76]

One in with Europa league experience.

Brady, Olsson, Ruddy, Canos, Jacob out.

[morty 0]

[:D]

[Duncan Edwards 2,271]

8 or 9 out.

2 in max.

[Crafty Canary 508]

To get that many out we would need other clubs to want our deadwood. Why would they want them?

[Chesney Hawkes 0]

Nine out.

Two in.

Promotion, promotion, promotion.

[TIL 1010 4,800]

Prepare to be underwhelmed.

[tricky974 61]

The players that we have that we want to get rid of no one else seems to want and if they do they won''t pay the same in wages that we do, so they will sit at the club and not go anywhere. I''d say the best we can hope for is sending some of our players out on loan and we partially pay their wages and hopefully play well enough for someone else to come in for them.

[morty 0]

Cheerful bunch, aren''t we?

[tricky974 61]

I''m thinking of two at maximum not including the 17 year old lad we signed

[Crafty Canary 508]

With luck we''ll get one in. I would rather see our youngsters given game time than help to develop players for other clubs through loans.

[Darth Canary1 91]

I doubt we will sign anyone of note, keep cash for the summer

[AJ 1,230]

Well, we need a decent CB to partner Klose, a new left back and backup, and could do with a striker to replace Lafferty.

So I''m guessing three or four.

I''ll also guess Olsson, Brady and Lafferty will leave, with Canos and Maddison leaving on loan.

[Duncan Edwards 2,271]

Olsson, Brady, Turner, Bennett, Lafferty, Canos, Naismith, and Pritchard are all likely leavers.

Ruddy may well go too.

Incoming; a left back and possibly a forward.

That''s it.

McGovern and Jones for GK

Martin and Pinto and Whitts for RB

Martin, Klose, Bassong CB

Whittaker NEW LB

Murphy, Murphy, Howson, Dorrans, Jarvis, Tettey, Mulumbu, McGrandles, Thompson, Grant, Hoolahan, Maddison etc MID

Jerome, Oliveira, Morris, NEW FOR

Looks fine to me. 👍⚽️👏

[paddycanary 539]

Highly unlikely Duncan and also I disagree with your satisfaction with that proposed squad.

I still think a quality defensive midfielder could transform this group of players. Howson would get more freedom alongside him, particularly at home and the centre-backs would get better protection. Tettey is sadly on the way out and looks to have his best days behind him. Mulumbu has never delivered and I don''t think he ever will. Dorrans has some qualities but he just doesn''t do enough defensively for me and the midfield area looks unbalanced against decent teams when he starts. Louis Thompson has been very unfortunate not to get the opportunity to stake his claim when his big chance arrived. On paper we''re well stocked in this area but all four of Howson''s potential partners in the engine room are out of form/injured/unavailable/suspended... We could well lose Howson again.

Perhaps it could be worth the gamble to take on someone with a big reputation & good experience (and probably a hefty wage), even on loan from the top division. If the likes of Olsson, Brady, Ruddy, Canos etc. leave, surely there''s some wriggle room financially.

If those four were to leave (I hope Olsson & Ruddy stay), a left-sided player, a quality defensive midfielder and in an ideal world a quality centre-back would do for me. But how many other clubs seek the same?

The poor run of form over the last few months has most likely made us an unattractive prospect for the calibre of player we want and/or need, and that''s ignoring the money side of things.

Apologies for stating the obvious, but 2 or 3 wins in the next couple of weeks would improve club morale, improve our league position and improve our ability to attract decent players before the end of the window.

"The poor run of form over the last few months has most likely made us an

unattractive prospect for the calibre of player we want and/or need,"doesn''t seem as it has affected Swanseaand I differ from many in thinking most of the players listed as needing to go don''t ''need to goand I think there will be far less movement than most imagine, or wish

[paddycanary 539]

I''m not expecting any big signings or surprises either. It''s looking like one of Brady/Olsson (hopefully not both), Canos (possibly a loan) and maybe even Big John Ruddy might be looking elsewhere. I don''t have confidence in the club making the signing(s) needed to push on up the table. If Brady & Olsson both leave, we''ll surely see the signing of a left-sided player and maybe a loan

[deltic31 14]

We will sell some but after scouring Europe fail to sign anyone!

[sonyc 5,541]

I think we could see up to 8 leave, possibly 7 like others do and maybe 3 in a defender, a LB and a striker / attacking mid ( because Alex Neil likes these) plus we will get some kind of Premier League loan signing that is left field (as in unexpected). So a net loss of players.

[Duncan Edwards 2,271]

Brady will go and we''ll get Downing on loan.

[Move Klose 303]

Downing is going to Crystal Palace. Wouldn''t come here anyway.

[Van wink 2,994]

Brady is one we should make a decent return from and IMO will not Miss from the team that much. Good business.

[Move Klose 303]

Probably see 2 or 3 out and 2 in.

The big overhaul will come in the summer.

[CANARYKING 644]

Ollsson and Brady out, none in, couldn''t find any.

[Duncan Edwards 2,271]

[quote user="Move Klose"]Downing is going to Crystal Palace. Wouldn''t come here anyway.[/quote]

Downing is bitching about game time; if he goes to Palarse immediately after they just signed that Leicester dude then he is literally mental.

He''ll be the noooo Huckerby. 😳

[Essjayess 307]

Completely agree with Canary King, Olsson out, Brady likely also, with no one joining. Combine the asking price for new players which Alex has already said is ludicrous, with the usual long time it takes our club to negotiate transfers and January will be long gone before City can finalise any deals.Before season ends, can see a scenario where Klose and Pinto are both out thru injury, suspension or something, and we have  Martin, Bennett, Bassong and Whitts as our back four, with Turner on bench. Bennett gets injury  in the match, on comes Turner. Say no more...

Really depends on how many outs there are as we''ve heard in the interviews

Going to have a jobs shifting some of the higher earners mind.

[Alfie54 76]

I wondered if anybody thinks we will be stronger once the window closes? I don''t think so, lower wage bill, but weaker squad.
