Anyone got a list of our players who are out of contract at the end of the season? I Know Toffolo is for example. If we can't pin him down on another contract, is it better to sell in January rather the go for nothing. I imagine other players are similar. Out of contract Many Sarr Alex Vallejo Reece Brown Gio Bellagambi Jaheim Headley Kit Elliott Nassim Kerbouche With one year option Josh Koroma Harry Toffolo Fraizer Campbell Kieran Phillips Rarmani Edmonds-Green Pat Jones Connor Shanks Max Dearnley Luke Daley

Just seen the second question as part of this thread.
In terms of who I’d like to come in, I’m sure there’s value in League One, especially with the teams at the top end.
He’s been mentioned already, and I like the look of David Kasumu from MK Dons. Ryan Hardie from Plymouth has had a decent season so far. Oladapo Afolayan at Bolton always seems to get a shout out for being a menace.
Chiedozie Ogbene has been one of Rotherham’s better players this year - always a handful on the wing and is regularly in the Ireland squad. Albie Morgan from Charlton and Anthony Scully from Lincoln would also be decent additions.
Main issue would be that, apart from the last two names, all of the others are at clubs that are doing well this season. Consequently, I imagine their asking prices will be extortionate. But, they’re just the sort of players I’d want us to go in for.
A lot depends on who goes out of the club as well.

According to a column in the Examiner,at the QandA Corberan said he hadn,t given much thought about the transfer window,and was satisfied with the squad {when the Injured players return}..So be preprared to be disappointed.

If potential targets aren't available until the Summer then so be it. As long as Championship status is secured then we go again next season that little bit stronger

We're too good to go down, not good enough to go up. Unless there's a really great deal available (in or out) or a key player leaves (in which case, replace him) I see little point spending this window. How many £millions would you spend to turn us from a 16th placed side into a 12th placed side?
We probably need a striker. We have Harratt here & Phillips to come back from loan in the summer, hopefully ready to compete for a first team place.
We probably need a midfielder. We have Daly out on loan, hopefully ready to compete for a first team place next season. We also have Diarra & Camara here who both look VERY promising, Scott High is just breaking through & on an upward trajectory, plus I'm hearing good things about Connor Shanks.
I won't be disappointed with a quiet January window. I WILL be disappointed if we don't see any of the aforementioned youngsters (or other ones!) breaking into the first team reckoning by May.

We are very short of central midfield players, at least those who can play a defensive role. Hogg is not getting any younger and is carrying a long term hip injury and now has another injury to get over. Vallejo, despite being an excellent footballer, appears to be made of glass and seemingly doesn't want to be here beyond this season.
If we have a player identified as a target, we may need to bring them in during January. If someone meets the alleged buy-out clause in O'Brien's contract, we could have a midfield of High & Russell!

For clarity, when I said, "if a key player leaves, replace him" - selling LoB would qualify for spending on a replacement. We were reportedly interested in David Kasumu at MK Donas, but I can't see them releasing him cheaply in January, especially given their current league position, they'll fancy their chances.

For all that he's had very little first team action, I'd consider him a key player because if Toffolo is out injured or suspended we're either playing somebody out of position or relying on a youth prospect - either Headley or Jackson - & I'm not convinced that I'd want either of them playing regular first team football at this level. Not yet anyway.
If Ruffels leaves, he'll need replacing.

sounds like Jaden Brown's doing well then if they're after another left back! I'd be happy for him to go on loan with a recall clause, while Toffolo hasn't been his best at all, he's capable of playing 90 mins twice a week unless injured- I seem to remember he was on the way to a pretty hefty number of consecutive appearances for Town and Lincoln combined when he got sent off last year

Anyway, in terms of plausible stuff I'd be looking to send Mipo back to West Ham with a view to getting a different loan striker in- Balogun from Arsenal is top of my list.
Beyond that I can't see anything else realistically happening with no first team outgoings. If I were in charge I'd send Turton on loan to league one and get a right back on loan, then maybe another centre mid also on loan if Hogg and Vallejo are staying injured a while. Beyond that the squad is fine.
Outgoings- obviously try get shut of Reece Brown permanently. Loans for Austerfield, Harratt, Headley and so on. Send Phillips to a different club that'll play him in his proper position.

Toffolo hasn't signed a new contract yet, although I believe we have a year's options, so I'd be looking to give Ruffels some game time. Especially as Toffolo doesn't appear that happy in the wing back role.

I suppose he is, in the same way as every player who has a professional contract is, but it seems (for whatever reason) that he's not regarded as a serious option for a place in the first team match day squad yet. Not yet had a minute of first team football & I can't even recall him getting on the bench as an unused sub this season.

Quite - so both 34 year old Campbell and Danny Ward are ahead of Harratt, possibly even behind a loan signing from West Ham who has yet to touch the ball in anger? The point I was making is that, if he ain't competing against these, why do we think he might suddenly "come good" .....next year (Rodney)?

The point I was making is that, if he ain't competing against these, why do we think he might suddenly "come good" .....next year (Rodney)? I suppose my point is that if you have a teenager scoring goals for fun in the B team, you probably shouldn't write off his chances just yet. Also, if we're not going to be leaving the division this season, then giving the youngsters that don't get a loan a few chances to show what they're made of where the consequences for failure are lower might not be such a bad idea. I do take your point though. It's concerning that he appears to be (at best) 5th choice CF when we only play with one, and none of those ahead of him are exactly setting the world alight. Still, at the same age, Philip Billing had only JUST made his first start, and didn't become a regular first teamer for another 2 years. We could certainly use somebody of his ability now!

Nothing to do with this window but Aaron Ramsdale’s mum was telling us that when he signed for Sheffield United he was actually ment to be signing for Town. But we messed around, took too long and they jumped in and nicked him.

That's true Haggling over a couple of hundred grand Are you talking about when he signed for Sheff U as an academy graduate aged 15 or when he re signed for them for £18m when we were relegated back to the championship? Either way it must be complete bollocks. 1) we're not going to spend hundreds of thousands on a 15 year old keeper in 2013. 2) we're definitely not going to spend £18m+ on him when we've just been relegated & trying to clear the decks of the premier league deadwood we already couldn't afford to keep.

No rumour, but one current L2 player I wouldn’t be surprised to see attract interest from Championship level clubs in January is David Ajiboye of Sutton United. Old-fashioned right winger, scored six goals already from out wide, most of them crackers. Definitely got talent and a great attitude.

Hi all! for a little bit of fun and with the takeover talks currently ongoing no one really knows what's going to happen!
Let's say we are within touching distance of the play offs come January. Who would you bring in and who would you let go?
With Lewis Obriens release clause in his contract there isnt much the club can do about that if someone meets the price. But for arguments sake let's say we have Obrien for the rest of the season.
I'd like us to bring in A couple of prem loans to plug some gaps in midfield and I'd like us to bring in a striker too, someone a little bit different to what we currently have.
My wish list would be if we had a little bit of money to spend!
Striker - Michael Smith Rotherham. Maybe take a punt on Cole Stockton from Morecambe. League 1 top scorer I believe. Colby Bishop would be ideal but I think his price is way too high for us.
Out Mipo send him back Aarons loan him out Harratt loan out Schofield loan out (doubtful) Diarra loan out

I wouldn’t send Aarons out, but agree with the rest - but surely Reece Brown should be first on that list? Bishop in would be great but unlikely. Doubt the PL clubs will be willing to send players out on loan either now

Pretty sure I read the other day Guardiola saying he won't be sending Delap anywhere, wants to keep him around the squad like they did with Foden.

Doubt the PL clubs will be willing to send players out on loan either now Think we should try and get Aarons out if we can. With Grant coming into the fold and Rowe returning to fitness I can only see him being a wasted wage, which he really has been imo (not his fault, just a poor signing).
