January Transfer Window

[Marlon From Bearwood]

So Bruce has confirmed in today's press conference that we're looking at loans again during the January window due to FFP restrictions. With strikers now being a desperate priority, who could we reasonably get, that would make a difference?

Crouch's name keeps popping up, Ings too, and I've also heard Charlie Austin mentioned. There's also talk of Bruce seeking a bargain from abroad. This could be a massive window but we really need players to hit the ground running, which didn't really happen with last January's signings.

I don't quite understand howthis is right, what about the money we've got from the Amavi deal?

Danny Ings

Is he even alive?

If we are desperate....Eoin Doyle ?

[tomd2103]

We desperately need someone who can lead the line to take a bit of pressure off Davis.

Crouch would be ideal loan move

I guess that was accounted for in balancing the books. He was always going to go, but it took a bit longer than first thought.

I'm sure if the club consulted the accountants on here we wouldn't be restricted by the FFP restrictions.

Crouch would be good but can’t see Stoke letting him go anywhere on loan - why would they? Austin might not be a bad idea.

The Amavi fee and wages probably gives us more wiggle room than Bruce is letting on.

Didn't Austin have a chance to join us in our annual horribilis and decided against it ? I'm not sure he's the answer.

It can't be because there was no guarantee to it, the way FFP is restructured means it will only have come into things when OM confirmed they were taking up the option but we were told we were clear on FFP over a month before that.

I think Ads is right but also that Bruce is still under orders to reduce the size of the squad, we just have too many players who contribute nothing.

why the Crouch love in? Aren't we already Dad's Army enough? Ings would be worth a punt I think.
