I asked a question, that is what these ? mean. In the same way I could write "Aaron Mooy, is he an Olympic swimming champion ?" If he was, like you he wouldn’t need a swimming cap.

Grabara is one of those keepers who doesn't make many terrible errors but also rarely does something which makes you think 'wow' He's never going to make it a Liverpool and this will probably be his level for most of his career Glued to his line most of the time. Very average loan, Steer and Ward were both superior. About time we stopped faffing about with young loan keepers and either put faith in our own or sign an experienced proper keeper. How was Ward superior, apart from the shoot outs he did nothing. He was also glued to his line, didn't command his box and his reading of a game was awful. He didn't make outstanding saves, I'm sure I read he had one of the worst shots to goals ratios in the division.

7 out and 5 in apparently. 2 PL loans already sorted. My seven would be kongolo, diakhaby, mbenza, Brown, brockhorn, flo and mounie Mooy will be one of the 7, hopefully Pritchard will too, every bit as much a waste of money as the others mentioned.

Could be a busy January. Surely the likes of Mbenza, Kongolo and Pritchard are on their way? Lots on here spent last season and early this reassuring us that diakbenza we're going to tear the championship a new one and it was all Wagner's fault for not playing them. Presumably now ready to admit they were talking utter shit? Same numpties wouldn't hear a bad word against Jan Siewert. . Pritchard is injured btw and probably our best player. Diakbenza are money down the drain, about £30M maybe. Get the fuckers out of the building with Kongolo and admit your mistakes. Sent from my SM-G920F using proboards It’s not wagners fault really, he worked with what he had.. Part of the blame is with dean and part of it is the clubs for having a poundland recruitment set up in a league worth hundreds of millions.

Why would we let our second top scorer go? He might be inconsistent but he's the type of player who can produce the goods when least expected and at 22 he's only going to get better. I got told in the pub last night that he's off in January. I hope not cos he can do and see things the rest of our midfield can only dream of. But I wonder if he's decided he wants to be closer to his kid and is going back to Holland. Fair enough. Different story if he wants to go for something like that and at least he’s putting in a shift while he’s here.

We need a big January, that's for sure - as much for clearing the decks. It's been said before, but if Mbenza, Diakhaby, Kongolo want out, then we should facilitate their exit for reasonable money. I'm under no illusions that we'll be recouping the £35m+ we spent on them, and if we were to get £10m it would at least free up some wages and put some money in the coffers. If Brighton were to activate their option on Mooy for £20m that would also be no bad thing - again, cash in hand.
I'd say we need more than 5 unless the Cowleys intend to rely upon kids as stopgaps for the rest of the season. It certainly wouldn't surprise me to see Daly given a chance in the Cup alongside the likes of Jackson and Edmonds-Green. However, we have a young squad elsewhere and lack experience beyond Schindler, Campbell, Hogg and Simpson. We need one or two senior pros to come in to provide balance and leadership.
If the injuries come back firing, we'll be fine. Elphick is obviously gone for the season, so an experienced centre-back should be on the shopping list (I saw someone suggesting a loan for Ben Gibson at Burnley; not a bad choice for 6 months, but would he be prepared to be backup to Stankovic, who has been excellent since coming in?). A left-back should also be on the shopping list, hopefully to dovetail with Brown if he's fit. And we need a midfielder and wingers. We're desperately short of real pace and quality.

Let’s be fair, the January window can’t come quickly enough irrespective of your thoughts on individual players. Personally would be disappointed if Bacuna was allowed to leave unless it is back to Holland for family reasons and Grabbara would stay as my number 1 over Coleman (there’s not a lot between the 2 tbf) if only to remain sweet with Liverpool and not sour any future deals we may do with them. If the rumours are right and there are 2 Premier League loan deals already done, these players SHOULD be here for January 1. I have no doubt there’ll be money to spend, am sure the Cowleys wouldn’t have come if they weren’t given certain reassurances on that issue, and we are likely to see a number of high earners out the door in January. Interesting and exciting times I’d say. We are a work in progress, let’s sit back and enjoy the ride much like we did under DW and all try forget the disaster that was Siewart.

For me:
Out: Hamer Kongolo - it's clear he's not first choice, maybe he wants to leave, we'll get good money for him Bockhorn Hadergjonaj
Kachunga Mooy - again clear he wants to leave and there's good money to be had Diakhaby Mbenza R Brown (loan) Pritchard - but only if we can get a good replacement. It's just not worked out for him here, always looked threatening, never does much. Sobhi Quaner - why is he still here? Literally offers nothing
In LB CB CAM FW
11 players needing to be moved on demonstrates horrific recruitment and management in the past. It's not fair on them and it's not fair on us.

To be fair out of those some have been good and done the jobs they were brought in to do. Mooy-absolute class Kachunga- great in promotion season gives his all good club man. Quaner- promotion season decent assists and vital goals all for 500k. The rest you have a point even kongolo great on loan but we paid way over the odds for him. You missed Mounie good first half of first prem season but looks nothing like a 10m striker.

Fingers crossed Webb can use his connections to get some good loans from Tottenham or has spotted some gems knocking about in Sweden

Anyone increasingly resembling snooker ace Tony Meo should be swerving discussions about patent baldness imo I am mid-60's, fat and bald, but with this new spirit of "self-identifying", I am now a slim, hirsute 23 year old and will sue anyone* who says I am not! Well, apart form Town if they decide I don't qualify for senior priced tickets, Kirklees for my bus pass....

We need to get rid of at least 4/5 players come January and keep the ones who want to stay and play for Huddersfield Town and i would definitley keep Pritchard. Kongolo Pritchard Mbenza Diakhaby Haderjonai Sobhi Mounie Bacuna Koroma Reece Brown Elphick (because of injuries) And possibly Grabbara how’s no better than Coleman What a task!!! Get rid of Bacuna, Pritchard and Koroma but keep Bockhorn? Hmmmmm
