Jay Stansfield on 11:33 - Dec 20 by PhilTWTD | I'd say he's well up the list at the very least. |
Do you know if we wanted him in the summer, Phil? He signed for Brum a few days before we signed Scarlett and they claimed to have beaten 'a dozen other clubs' for him. |  | |  |

Very possible. I know we were very interested the previous summer and it was pretty close to happening until we turned our attentions to Tyreece John-Jules, who I think we preferred due to his greater experience at the time. |  | |  |
Stansfield does play in a 4-2-3-1 but in a different way to Hirst on 11:59 - Dec 20 with 3954 views | billlm |
Stansfield does play in a 4-2-3-1 but in a different way to Hirst on 10:01 - Dec 20 by unstableblue | From the limited times i've seen Stansfield play as the lone striker.. I recall him playing in a different way to Hirst. Little hold up play or acting as a target man. Isn't he more running behind and at defenders. Closer to a Ladapo or even Broadhead than a Hirst. Or have I got that completely wrong? [Post edited 20 Dec 2023 12:10]

More right than wrong, he pulls defences, but has a habit of arriving late in the right places, |  | |  |
Jay Stansfield on 12:05 - Dec 20 with 3914 views | GlasgowBlue | Rooney is absolutely killing Stansfield's natural game. I would imagine he is desperate to leave. |  |

Would also free up the space for Rooney to sign Vardy |  |

Whoops.. I meant Ladapo (n/t) on 12:10 - Dec 20 with 3837 views | unstableblue |

Jay Stansfield on 10:02 - Dec 20 by portmanking | He's absolutely a signing which futureproofs things across one or two positions. Especially since one of our current hot-shots is attracting some surprise interest higher up the food chain. |
Scousers almost always want to go back up north. |  |

Jay Stansfield on 12:45 - Dec 20 with 3647 views | textbackup | Much better than Ladapo, no brainer if it’s doable |  |

Jay Stansfield on 12:54 - Dec 20 with 3570 views | Vaughan8 | I don't know much about him. Obviously seems to be a talent for the future. 9 goals in league one last season and 5 this season for Birmingham doesn't look prolific, but then again neither are our other forwards really. I was hoping for someone for the "now" for a January transfer, to help us get up. Ladapo is barely getting any minutes off the bench anymore so I suspect he's going. |  | |  |

I'd say he's a signing for now and for the future. He's shown this season that he's up to the Championship. |  |

Jay Stansfield on 09:54 - Dec 20 by _clive_baker_ | Guess that would be the preference. Maybe Fulham have come to the conclusion that he’s not one they see a future for and will take a fee for him. Would think it would be quite chunky, must be worth a few million? Probably some element of promotion related bonus. Would be an exciting signing, very much meets the criteria of young and with potential |
It's very hard to put a value on him I think. Ultimately all depends where Fulham see him. I've seen a few Fulham fans insist he is highly rated and part of their plans or it would take £10m+. They seem an ambitious club keen to be upwardly mobile and they aren't adverse to spending decent money, so I do struggle to see him ever getting a chance there really. There's been a few deals done lately with the selling club having a buy back clause so perhaps that may be an option. |  | |  |

Loan, with an obligation to buy if we are promoted? |  | |  |

From what I heard at the time (Fulham are my local club), Stansfield was always going to Exeter that summer due to the family connection; don't know if he turned us down at the time, but definitely turned down other clubs. |  |

Jay Stansfield on 14:36 - Dec 20 with 2863 views | BigCommon | Might be that the lad himself wants to leave Birmingham.. He signed there to play under Eustace.. The atmosphere has changed somewhat , since Eustace sacking. Not to mention their results.. We have a lot of stability and feel good factor , here. Which musty count for something? Aside from the obvious in KM. |  | |  |

No, was the other way around. We pulled out of our interest. I know other League One clubs were also keen as I initially found out our interest as another club enquired about him and were told he was set to move here. |  | |  |

That would be a massive kick in the pants. Can only imagine it would have to take a significant fee to part with him. |  | |  |

Do you expect it to happen, Phil? Edit - Hadn’t seen you answer this earlier in the thread. [Post edited 20 Dec 2023 14:54]

Wow - didn't know we were that far down the line with a move; think it worked out best for all parties, as thought TJJ really helped with our good start to last season before he got injured, and Stansfield got to play a lot more football at Exeter than he probably would have done with us. |  |

You would have to hope right now club won't want to sell and player won't want to go. Of course there is a price but you would hope that would be such we could comfortably find a replacement. The issue for me is not just about technical ability but having the right character to fit in with the squad! |  | |  |
Jay Stansfield on 19:29 - Dec 20 with 2121 views | Alberto_the_frog | I'd rather we signed Lisa Stansfield. She's been around the world, so good international experience. Still can't find her blooming baby, though. |  | |  |
