Doubt BWP would come back - earning big bucks as a big fish in a small soccer pond.1

Bowyer said after Williams and the GK that he wouldn’t be signing a striker until near the end of the window.
I don’t know why people are saying we’ve only had 3/4 days to think about the signing.
The rumours have been running for 2 weeks on Grant and we knew we were already after one more.
Gallen and Bowyer aren’t daft. They’ll have been making contingency plans.4 -

The new striker will be a forward, with two legs, aged between 12 and 40 who identifies as a man.1

The problem is we only have one loan left. That sounds like one striker incoming to me.0

so did the club when they turned the bid down i guess - nothing certain in football although once a deal is done its done and that is fact not speculationSouthLincsAddick said:
Hang on, you said a couple of weeks back there wouldn't be any major departures this window. As usual you seemed very confident.DOUCHER said:Not caught up in thread but can confirm grant is going - it’s done - 2 new signings being worked on - should know more tomorrow pm

It's short termism, but I would rather we get someone with higher quality on loan than less reliable quality permanently. We need to get out of this division, so yes we will have an even more depleted squad in the summer and will have to rebuild, but I'd rather increase the chances of rebuilding from the Championship than having one less spot to fill in League One.
Also, I don't really know what type of forward we would be able to actually buy at this stage of the window anyway. Prices will be massively inflated because the other team most likely won't have time to replace him--and that's assuming a player is even for sale. So you might end up spending all of the Karlan money just to get a decent League One level striker in, which to me is bad business. Better we loan someone from the Championship who is of high end League One/Championship quality.
Lastly, for all of his faults, I don't think Roland can be blamed too much for selling a player for a seven figure sum when we're in League One. Ditto, to *some* extent, if we don't buy a new striker. But moreso to the first point, the mistake was made in the summer not tying Karlan down to a new deal. Same went through the fall. If he'd signed a new deal, he might still leave, but we would have a much better bargaining position.2 -

I imagine Dillon is more likely to sign a deal now than he would have been 3 weeks ago!2

As others have said already it's a classic RD bait-and-switch tactic - there is no way known we are buying another striker, we will get some 18 year old Premiership loanee.
There is no way Grant is ready for the Premiership, he's done well in L1 and L2 but in a struggling Terriers side he'll be lucky to get half a chance every two games compared to the 3-4 chances he gets most weeks here.
As others have said the bloke is probably on 1K per week here and Huddersfield might get him 10K or more on a three year deal which is a shitload of cash.
The writing was on the wall earlier this season when he wouldn't sign a deal, his agent obviously fancies a pay day and has worked to make it happen and Grant has made it possible by banging in the goals.
Plus ca change.2 -
Lapslie too for me.Moo said:
Interesting they haven’t said anything about Fosu and Reeves. Perhaps LB feels they haven’t done enough. I would like young Albie Morgan to get a long term deal.Redrobo said:Good on Aribo and Dillon.
I think he has the potential to become something like Parker in time.11 -
I have now seen the original quote and George is also expected to sign which is also good news.Moo said:
