If he was available for 2 million then i'd rather buy Moore than loan Gallagher.

Gallagher won’t move for a loan fee like that again. He isn’t as hot a property as he was after his loan at Blackburn.

That said, I doubt we can afford to either loan him due to wages or buy him due to both wages and a fee.

As I’ve said before as well I seriously doubt we can afford Moore. His price went up from the initial £1.5-2m and Barnsley certainly won’t be making him ‘available’. Imagine if we’d sold Garner during a promotion push from L1, for example. Completely pointless when you’re trying to go up.

Very good point. Then again, some could say we sold Hugil in a similar scenario(clutching at straws perhaps, we wern't in top 6 at the time).

I read somewhere this week that Boro have an option to sign JH permanently for £6 million. So did we really get 8/9 million for him in January?

6 million? West Ham clearly willing to take a loss and you know what **** them, they can afford it.

Given that Ridsdale said 'a club' had accepted a PNE record offer (Healy £1.5million) for a striker but they doubled the asking price overnight (£3million +), I expect 'that club' will want significantly more than £2milion for Moore now.

He never mentioned those figures.

The asking price for Kieffer Moore at the time was nowhere near 3M.
 
I’ve seen Barlaser twice this season and has not particularly impressed me. Finlay who played at AFC Fylde looks a better prospect. Also saw Keiffer Moore at Accrington Stanley who looked good in the air but no better than Moult in his link up play. Probably won’t be able to afford him but I wouldn’t bet on him coming back to torment us next season as Barnsley should get promoted imo.

We are after that Sam Gallagher again who was at Rovers on loan.

sam Gallagher has been injured most of the season Whitham ham string trouble and is no where near fit yet & I don't think we need another player with injury problems

Fraser Hornby was another name mentioned. Has scored 6 in 7 games for Scotland U21'S. But I guess Nmecha is a good example of the gulf between U21 Football and the Championship.

"I know for a fact they're looking to strengthen quite heavily in January".

Says we want another right back, a couple of wingers, and a striker.

Also says we've looked at goalkeepers who would cost quite a lot in wages.

Limited funds and we'll spend it on a Keeper when we have two perfectly capable ones?...................... Was that Trevors idea? 🙂

I said it at the end of the summer and even more so now....I don't believe Maxwell will still be here in Feb

Hopefully not - Rudd is starting to look secure again and apart from the occasional over-ambitious foray outside his box Maxwell is fine as well. We do not need another keeper. In any case we have also got Gallagher...

I think we can now safely say that neither of them are fine, and imho neither of them have really performed during the turn of the year. It can't go on like this.
