Transfer rumours

[cross it Dave]

Whatever the transfer value is the club won’t make it public.

[FurtiveFox]

We will see. Should be at least £2m and why would he go to League 1? I know he splits opinion on here but give him some half decent service and plenty capable at this level. It would leave us with only 2 first choice strikers. We need minimum 3 and likes of Kolli sniffing around as back up.

On another matter if Chair goes wouldn't expect too much money to be available. We need to be operating at a profit and so far we have sold Armstrong for a bit but paid by our standards good money for Madsen, Celar and Varane and more modestly for Morrison, Bennie and Santos not to mention any loan fees for Dembele and Saito.

I am expecting incomings but the kind without spending much on them, maybe a loan and/or free transfer or two.

I can’t see us letting an international footballer go for 1m regardless of it being Scotland he still scored goals against half decent sides

[Jeffqpr]

Being reported (adam levantal) Dykes having medical at birmingham today.
£1mill transfer fee.
Of course he will score a hatful in lge 1, but it’s probably about the right price.

Don’t believe that £1 m price as BS

Gonna be bloody weird Friday night.... one eye on the game; one eye on Sky Sports News to see who's still our player. You'd assume anyone in the matchday squad won't be moving on but you never can tell in the mad world of football when window's still open for an hour when game ends.

QPR approach Sturm Graz over Johnston loan


Latest from Sky Sports News' Anthony Joseph:

QPR have made an approach for Sturm Graz right-back Max Johnston.

It is understood the Championship club are seeking a season-long loan deal for the 20-year-old.

Johnston joined Sturm Graz from Motherwell last summer and the Scotland U21 international won the Austrian Bundesliga and cup in his debut campaign.

This Dykes situation is all very odd. He has not been “available “since last week after scoring a great goal.

Sky showed him sitting in the South Africa rd on Saturday, he did not look very happy.

If Rangers have found a buyer I would have thought that he would have gone by now.

Perhaps he does not want to leave or the terms were not to his liking.

Stand to be corrected if the above is nonsense.


Edit - just seen Sheep’s post.

Dykes - Brum & Millwall

[SheepRanger]

That's a bit cruddy. I want to know if it's safe to fall in love with them - I don't want to feel sad and bereft if they dump me in May. Surely there's nothing commercially sensitive about clarifying the situation with loan players??

Don't know the reasons for it? I assumed if players are on their last year and they're performances drop fans can get on their backs, so the contracts length is hidden???????

Im guessing that any loan coming in hasnt been signed permanely due to FFP...? I think we can be safe that we have options on these two.

Maybe a question around contract secrecy at the next fans forum.

Didn't Millwall sign Flagstaff or whatever his name is from Notts County? Surely he's a better candidate for their future starting CF than Dykes?

They did sign Flaggstaff but still short of options because he wants to play two strikers.

CR stated in this recent Club Statement that from now on contract information will not be disclosed.

Four games no goals.

[LordLoftus]

My guess is is that Dykes will be off to Millwall to replace Nisbet. Millwall have previously made a bid for Dykes too

Do we know if Dembele
and/or Saito have option/obligation to turn into permenant signings?
