There was a name mentioned a while ago who was a left sided centre back from the states who had played at a higher level. Someone must have posted it don’t know if there’s anything in it though. That was possibly me with Teenage Hadebe from Huston Dynamo's. Previously played in Turkey with Y.Malatyaspor. It was just a name I threw out in connection with the 'International / Overseas' signing that I think Nixon or Fabrizio Romano mentioned on Twitter as he's played in the US and is now out of contract. Total random nameYou're not kidding

I suspect people are turning us down because of our position in the table
Beating Blackburn on Boxing Day should have been a catalyst

Someone can’t move unless replacement has been brought in that’s why everything usually done end of window .

Not sure why you’d wanna join this car crash of a football club looking from the outside in. - We’re likely to pay below Championship average wage - 4th bottom, in horrific form - An under pressure poor manager that realistically shouldn’t be here come May, & playing a poor tactic - Fans want the manager out and seemingly not happy. - Crowds are getting lower Why on earth would any decent prospect player look at us and think “Yeah, that’s the place for me” - they wouldn’t. Why would a Pep or Ten Haag look at us and think they want one of their younger players to develop here? I hear training facilities are less than adequate. They wouldn’t. Cons outweigh the positives. That’s how I see it anyway, unless anyone can tell me a bunch of positives to counter that. The thousands of £ a week they will get paid. That is what most players will care about and not the other things.

Hope someone has told our recruitment team! Cartwright will still have him in his little black book!

Did this defender play against us in the play off final? Not the one I’ve heard. This has come from an excellent source although I’m still doubtful. International. Mid 20’s. Multi million pound move to his current club after a loan Mentioned in this thread previously - Harry Souttar ✅ International - Australia ✅ Mid 20’s - 25 ✅ Multi Million pound move - £15m rising to £20m, to Leicester ✅ After a loan - Played 98’ over 3 games ✅ Left footed ✅ Fits exactly what we need, a ball playing LCB who has pace and is great defensively. He might be at the Asian Cup, but I don’t see that being a problem with us signing him.

It is Harry Souttar we are in for. Had it confirmed by a Leicester in the know. Issue is supposedly we are competing with 4/5 other championship clubs for him so not sure we stand much chance but lets see.

If wants game time, he’ll get that here… provided he doesn’t get injured 😂 Hopefully agent Aaron puts in the good word.

He’s probably better than what we have, but he’s just as slow as our other defenders. I think we need a quicker defender to make up for the lack of pace across the back line as that’s how we really get exposed

Nothing in this anymore supposedly, barely surprising on Diarra recent form/inability to get in this side and they will be Prem planning now.

I just can't see how we could afford to get close to wages let alone an acceptable fee for Souttar. More likely to be his brother surely?

Issue is supposedly we are competing with 4/5 other championship clubs for him so not sure we stand much chance but lets see. He will probably want a release clause if we get relegated. (any prospective purchaser would have to meet a set value). I guess any quality signing would want this type of clause added to their contract if they came in this window.

Its only a loan deal unfortunately. We could never afford him permanently.

No way he’d be coming permanently is there? He’s valued at like £10m

No chance we are covering Souttar's wages, 40k p/w according to transfer market, we wouldn't pay out half of that! Even if were to i'd be asking why that sort of spend isn't going into areas we are in more need of...

Our wage bill is one of the lowest in the league - they could go to someone like Blackburn and just get more money if that's what it is that motivates them. 🤷♀️
