This is the first transfer window in a number of years that I'm actually looking forward to. Most of us got used to a MON window and knew things wouldn't really kick off until the end. This time around we'll be linked to a number of different types of player and I expect Houllier to do everything he can to add numbers, difficult as it might be in January.

I think the fact it is January will make it very difficult indeed, so my expectations are low.

The last couple of years there seems to have been less and less business done in January.



For sure, but business can be done, especially if like Houllier you have contacts across Europe, and if you are aggressive. I don't disagree that it will be hard to make any significant deals in January, but maybe we don't need those until the summer, and just need 2 or 3 clever signings to improve us, see us through the balance of the season.

I think we should offload Ireland and some of the other deadwood like Osbourne and Salifou ASAP

Emmanuel Adebayor is ready to dig his heels in with Manchester City to force a loan move to Tottenham in January, while Aston Villa want Eastlands winger Shaun Wright-Phillips and AC Milan are interested in their striker Roque Santa Cruz.

More brilliant work. SWP? Exactly what we're lacking, a right-winger, eh? We've already got one better and he cost us nowt.

Really hope this is the usual lazy Mirror bollox - do not want SWP cannot see what he adds to us and Allbrighton is better player than he is anyway

This has got to be a joke. SWP is not in the same league as Albrighton ............
