… or for say £200k
£500k min, or more like £1m seems their expectation to let their best current player leav
Promising comments on his recent performances below
This is definitely a Luongo type buy, more short term, but interim strengthening to bolster the season
But would he come if he was going to be a Davis Sub? Will we see David coming off at 70mins. And Johnson offering extra quality to see out or win games

God, I thought we'd finally seen the last of Owl Stalk. |  |

I can’t see us spending anything close to 7 figures on a 33 year old. When you look at the profile of the players we’ve invested fees for he couldn’t be much different, not least his age. |  | | |

No one can, it was a silly guess from a journalist trying to be clever, I'd imagine. Will be a low hundred thousands fee if it gets done. |  | | |

I think (and as Phil alluded) it’s going to be a low fee
Maybe even a loan.. get his wages off their squad, and give him the move he wants | |

They can't be that fussed. Two hours in and only ten posts? |  |

Loan seems less likely as it stands as we'll want to keep a space for a striker. | | | |

Wednesday are in a relegation battle. Why would they want to let Johnson go, even for a small fee? |  |

Cracking comment from one Wendy
"He can actually pass it to one of his teammates and can cross it.
That's quite a standout quality in this side |  |

What sort of football do they play now? Is there any chance of Humphreys going there on loan as part of a deal? Bloke mentions a playmaker in that thread. Humphreys might not quite fit the bill for that (mainly in terms of experience) but he could be part of a package?
Edit: forget all that, it's a crazy idea. [Post edited 21 Jan 2024 19:32]

They’re circling the FFP drain so want one of their highest earners elsewhere. A bit like Gallagher at Blackburn |  | | |

Is purchase and one loan striker the plan Phil?
Certainly need two.
I imagine getting a striker in during the January window who meets our criteria and budget is proving very difficult.
I have a feeling the compromise is going to be 1 younger Premiership loan, and a more senior player (see Gallagher) purchased on a 2 year contract, who is more to get us up and be back up to Hirst, than a Broadhead, Clarke, Davis like million + investment. | |

I think there is an element of him agitating for a move, not much time left on his contract as well
Remember he was basically out out into the cold, it’s only the new manager who’s started playing him
And very well he’s been playing | |

All of their fans seem to be expecting that sort of fee. They’re deluding themselves. | | | |

Why would we send Humpreys to a basket-case club that's almost certainly far worse in terms of coaching standards? [Post edited 22 Jan 2024 15:14]

I reckon that might be right. Stansfield plan was a loan. | | | |

I don't know, but from what I was told early in the month the thinking was that he would play more at Birmingham so was set to stay there. | | | |

Without trying to sound too superior about Town, we're hardly going to be loaning him to a club which is better than us in terms of standards. | |

I can’t imagine that’s changed. He looks to be enjoying his football, is getting regular game time and developing nicely. They’d be nuts to recall him. |  |
