January Transfer Window (rumours + actuals)

"Welcome Alex Gilbert, curious to see how he gets on. Personally feel this will be one where it's either gonna work really well and we will be gutted we won't be able to get him in the summer, or, he's as useful as Fiorini. Loans always seem to pan out that way here, unfortunately, usually the latter.

I always take positive comments from fans with a pinch of salt. Too many times I've read that a player will "walk this league" or "he's too good for that level" but it's the complete opposite. 

One way of looking at it is if he's on the bench for Boro who could be a Premier league team next year next season, he must have something to offer. 

The other way is he's had about 30 appearances in 5 years. Doesn't strike me as someone who is ready to hit the ground running and make an immediate impact. 

Hopefully it works well and we are gutted he won't be staying as he scores a hatrick at Wembley.

All the best Gilbert 👍🏻 "

"Owen Dale would be a decent option. Very good player in this league and can actually run past a man, currently only two of our players can do that with any consistency"

"The closer the window gets to shutting, the more open to the idea of Cornick I become. 

Experience with Jones, Bristol City fans seem to still like him, so I doubt he's lazy, at the very least. 

And finally, without being too rude, he would surely offer more than the other strikers we have/had at our disposal in Gas, Hylton and (sorry) Chuks. Maybe even young Kanu who I think needs a loan to sharpen his skillset. "
