2024 January transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

I wonder if we're looking for a forward option at a good price to be able to terminate the Zaniolo loan, allowing us a second loan in a different position.

Strange we didn't agree this as part of the Azaz deal if Emery is that keen. Is this guy really a better bet than Aaron Ramsey?

[Toronto Villa]

To be honest, and I am sure I will get burned by this at some point, but I am just going to trust the Emery/Monchi/scouts committee on the players they bring in. They don't need to be immediate impact though of course that helps. But because we have all seen just how much Emery can do with what was perceived at one point as very little.

Reports from Boro fans seem mixed and some suggest he's not at Aaron Ramsey's level. This is a weird one if true.

Boro fans seems to think Cam, Azaz and ARamsey are all further along. He would certainly give us some more size and perhaps Monchi sees him as a FFP asset in the future.

If the Rogers link is accurate I would have thought it would be similar to the Kosta Nedeljković deal and he would be loaned back to Boro.

Ollie Watkins deux?  If we sign him, I wouldn't be surprised if he plays down the centre.  If.

[PeterWithe]

Has anyone mentioned a fella called Hermoso or somesuch, out of contract at Ath Madrid soon. Seems to be mentioned on a few Twitter sites but I didn't read more than that.

[LeeB]

I'm sure that Rogers was linked to us before when he was at Citeh

Someone mentioned him on here a few days ago. He’s a centre half so could replace Langlet in the summer when his loan ends.

He's a B62 kid.

Yeah, noticed he was from Halesowen.

B62? Fuckin'ell, how high do Brum postcodes go up to? Second city? In the world, yeah!

Into the 90s I think.

[PeterWithesShin]

B98 is the highest, not all numbers are used though. And a lot of them cover places outside Brum like Bromsgrove, Redditch, Cradley, Halesowen, Tamworth etc.

Solihull, too. I think that goes for all 'city' post codes, ie they cover the 'greater' city area - so Oldham, for example, will have an M postcode. Gateshead has an NE etc etc.

I had to look at this for work a while back,  B97 & 98 are Redditch but B99 is Newtown.
