January 2014 Transfer Thread

[Jairzinho]

Rory Delap would have bossed the game against us yesterday.

[Jairzinho]

I doubt it was a toss up between the two, no no no it's worse, we signed Pennant instead of Alves because Parry didn't sanction the extra two mil Sevilla wanted.

I wasn't making an entirely serious point.

 

And thanks for that I'd just about forgotten that ming ever played for us.

[Barrington Womble]

So what ? Coleman was struggling to displace Hibbert for 3 years & couldn't even get a cap for Ireland for a while.

 

Just because he has had a good 4 months are we supposed to faint because Rafa decided not to sign him 5 years ago ?

 

Not sure what the context was but hope Aldo isn't being a dick there.

That's certainly not what I'm saying. I'm saying he wouldn't have got a game here, which he wouldn't. He could hardly get a game for Everton and they're shite.

 It's not about him, it's about us. We make Delphs, Huddlestones, Shelveys and Diames of this world look like world-beaters, I can see us facing Bolton in some cup and making good ol' Jay Spearing look like Mascherano.

 

fair point, but I'm not basing it on this one game. He's looked decent in every game I've seen of theirs.

[Barrington Womble]

Yep, I'm struggling to think of another side that's had four players on loan.

According to something I read earlier this week it would be their last signing under PL rules, but I don't know what the full rules are.

think your allowed 2 domestic loans with 4 in total

What would happen if they did something like make Barry's move permanent this window, would they be able to make another loan?

DM and full back are a must. Stating the obvious.

yeah Stoke had Assaidi from us and Ireland from Villa and have now signed Ireland permanently to allow them to get Guidetti on loan from City

Not true, Benitez said enough was enough as Seville kept putting price up, as they did with Chelsea following summer.

We really should let Rodgers buy in January because he's a bloody disaster with summer transfers

Does he sign them though rich? I know the 1st summer was down to him, just thought he was one of the committee since.

Well whoever it is, we've had 2 disastrous summers, the only saving grace Henderson didn't go when he could have

I still find it hard to believe that we were prepared to give Henderson & moolah for that American mutt at Fulham.

[stringvest]

I think that was the proverbial kick up the backside he needed.  

[sir roger]

I'm not sure he needed his backside kicking, he just needed to be played in a position that suited him & to see his manager showing confidence in him.

 

It would probably have been one of our poorest transfers deals ever, even with a good deal of nominations in the category.

[George Costanza]

A quality DM is a must.  Need another couple as well.  We simply have to go all out for a top 4 finish. If we finish outside I fear what will happen in the summer and it'll be a monumental setback.  To 4 is no longer about CL footy and the extra revenue, its also about keeping the best player in the league at the club too.

[Migno the flapper]

Got to say that the bitters 4 loanees are streets ahead of those two plums weve hired. Never thought I'd see a worst left back than Konshitesky and then along comes comical Aly....Valencia saw us coming...

[Bobby Hundreds]

How we spend our money has been our biggest downfall for years. We waste more money trying to find a bargain than we would if we just bought a good player and accepted his price as what is needed to improve the side. Its not just about buying and selling its what they do Inbetween on that field with the goals either end. Improving the first 11 should be the aim of everyone at the club it should be the only aim, so next time the cheque book opens make sure its for a player you know is going to be an improvement on his counterpart or don't bother. We dont need the mind set we need competition for a certain position the competition should come from the person who is being replaced.

 

Just...... Just sign some fucking good footballers and to hell with squad fodder,

[redfromtubebar]

When was the last time we bought an established first team player from a big club?

 

Suarez?

Its no coincidence professional gamblers mostly bet on short odds not long odds, we buy like someone having an interest bet.
