Will Lankshear on loan from Spurs until end of season, the new Jimmy Greaves evidently

Sounds like a good acquisition; read a bit about him in the last few days and seems like a real prospect.
Let's hope he can hit the ground running

All our London loans, as far as I recall, have been damp squibs - really hope this is different. Good luck, Will.
Are we sure it's not Shakespeare, by the way? Could write a great script for Mogga.

Palmer going
Tammer bany (Striker) in coming
RE: 2025 January Transfer Window Thread - baggietrousers - 03-02-2025
Can’t help thinking that is a massive mistake on the part of the club, and huge lack of ambition from Palmer!!
RE: 2025 January Transfer Window Thread - Baggievicar - 03-02-2025
Looks as if Bany is more of a link-up player than a 9. Won't go amiss if he is.
Left back now, please.

So... 2 forwards in, BUT virtually untested at this level.
Could be very shrewd business, or......
.... personally, I like this sort of gamble, if that's what it is; you'd expect Brunty & Co to have done their homework, after all

you certainly can't help thinking that Palmer will be back in the Championship next season but I guess he's been given the opportunity to play in the Premier League and possibly the chance to impress for a more substantial move later on. I also suspect that the club (Albion) think that with Griffiths they have a very able replacement, as well as a pipeline of younger, and talented. keepers coming through; and, of course, as Palmer is a product of the Academy, any fee is straight profit.
I guess it was a decision based more upon freeing up funds to invest in a position where we are definitely lacking - up front - and taking advantage of a position - goalkeeping - where they feel we are relatively strong. Personally, I think Palmer is an excellent keeper and I'm very sorry to see him leave but I can see the logic
