January Transfer Window

[Damo70]

Wait, Chelsea are after Crouch???

First they wanted Carroll, but he is injured and now Crouch. Depending on who has instigated these bids it smacks of either the manager trying to make a point to the board regarding his unhappiness about the transfer policy he has publicly complained about and deliberately attempting to piss them off or the board attempting to piss the manager off by buying these players and hoping he walks. I predict another managerial change soon at Chelsea, although that hardly makes me Mystic Meg.

They sound so desperate, maybe they'll come in for Agbonlahor? Only if Grant Holt turns them down, obviously.

I wonder if this is the ´under the radar ´player, Brucie was talking about (?) .  6ft plus , 78 kgs ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcvA-LFg8u0 ) ..........better get him in before Chelsea find out!..........Godzvilla!

Aston Villa interested in Stéphane Bahoken

Championship side Aston Villa are interested in signing Strasbourg’s 25-year-old attacker Stéphane Bahoken on loan this month, according to RMC.

The player is out of contract at the end of the current campaign and so a loan offer for the Ligue 1 side is a very bad option.

As it stands, Bahoken is most likely to leave Strasbourg at the end of his current contract for free in summer, when he can join any club of his choosing.

This one is a better goal -

Looking at the videos he has some ability but he hasn't scored many and doesn't seem to have ever really established himself in their team.  Given they're in the french 2nd division you wouldn't have huge expectations, but maybe a club that gets the ball into the box better would suit him.

I think 'meh' is the simplest way to sum that one up.

They're mid table in the top flight.

hmm, did I look at completely the wrong team, wouldn't surprise me, I've had a bad day.

[paul_e]

Ah no, I looked at last seasons table.

Considering the time it took for our other French recruits to acclimatise I don't think it's worth the risk. If we go up I'm not sure what he'll add, if we don't then why not wait until that eventuality and he probably won't hit the ground running or for at least 10 games so it seems odd at best.

Probably didn't help that they had a manager that didn't believe in them and a bellend in the dressing room like Richards who along with Gabby made the environment quite poisonous. I certainly would base my entire feelings regarding potential signings from that episode. There's more than enough examples of them doing just fine when they have moved to other clubs from France.

I'm kneeling before the altar begging this to come true

Please Jebus let this happen

Where’s the evidence that Richards and Agbonlahor are “bellends” in the dressing room?

So no evidence then.

How long did it take Kodjia at Bristol City?

Don't know if this has been mentioned but just reading that report on the bbc site. Season we went down we were paying £111m in wages and in the top20 european clubs with the biggest wages bill or put it another way with a 32 man squad we were paying an average of 66k a week. No wonder we're looking for loan deals
