If so, they’re the kind of guys I can’t for the life of me understand.

jimbojambo Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It is interesting on Sky Sports News how few fees have been paid this window and looking at the loss Brighton have made I think many high profile players will be available next season for no fee.

This quote stands out for me. Not just his reasoning but for possible future signings. "Concerned whether he would be the established No.9 in some of those English Championship teams, Gnanduillet chose Hearts knowing he will play regularly. The prospect of sampling top-flight football in Scotland next season was another factor." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially you're elated then reality and buyer remorse set in and you realise you've paid way too much for something you don't need and there's no way anyone else will pay what you paid if you try to relist it. In the end you put it in the bin. (I've never done any of this obviously.) We have to try playing him though if he's really not going anywhere.

BackOfTheNet Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 5 minutes ago, TypoonJambo said: Times getting tight though That’s what I’m thinking and mentioned earlier. Clubs up here rarely do business on weekends (offices for registration don’t like to work weekends) so we have today, tomorrow and Monday to register players. If we are to get a few in I would suspect we’d have to see a few out first - at least on loan. And I would expect some announcement today if that was going to be the case. Saying that, wouldn’t be the first time Robbie has signed an out of contract player after the window shuts. I just think in the current climate we’re less likely to see players willing to terminate contracts to free themselves up to find another club. Players will be seeking contract security.
