January Transfer Window - Rumours, Links, B*llsh*t and Made-Up Nonsense

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Don't worry everybody were due for a bit of respite soon.They're going over to Eastlands for a press conference  for the unveiling of Dzeko

At least that's newsworthy.

I really can't see who the forward could be, guess someone from abroad but they're certainly keeping it quiet.

I find the lack of inevitability about transfer targets is refreshing. Will be interesting to see who the have targeted.

milan baros- swap with carew. 40 goals in 54 games is not to be sniffed at

Spending in excess of 10m is hardly great- I'd hope to at least have £20m spent on players considering the milner money and the lack of any cash signings in the 2 windows before this one.Though I doubt kendrick has much clue as what we have to spend - hope he's wrong!

[Mazrim]

£20m is in excess of £10m...

[ozzjim]

Thing is east, in Jan it is hard to get people. A 10 million striker is likely to be unavailable until summer when his club can replace him.

Still think the forward will be Cisse.

[Greg N'Ash]

i'd be hoping 15m if we can move a few more on. hopefully davies will go this transfer window. Can't see anyone buying beye tbh.

Where is Baros nowadays,working in a Slade cover band?

Kendrick made it clear that there is a striker target in front of the lad linked from Monaco too, but was not privy to who it is. Also thinks we will spend in excess of 10million this window which is good news if it comes to pass.

Although I'm curious by the striker targrt, I think a lot more than £10m is needed.  £10m would just about account for Makoun and Adam, so if we're getting a decent striker also you need to be talking £20m+ total.

Edit: Sorry - see it's already been discussed above!

Hypothetically.

7 million on Makoun
4 on Adam

Walker loan

Collins and Warnock out for Samba

Safari (left back linked) 1-2 million

Loan striker say Keane/ Owen/ Santa Cruz type stop gap till the summer.

Total spend around 13-14 million, with the side looking vastly different and a decent influx of players. A bit of creativity has been needed in the market for over 2 seasons, maybe we can get something workable that will push us up the league without spending a fortune and still cutting the wage bill back.

Not necessarily, buying from abroad will be a cheaper market. It'll only be £10m+ for someone from over here, a Carlton Cole type. How much did Chicharito and Rodagella cost for example? Or Yakubu when he went to Pompey? Chamakh was on a free but he wasn't being touted for much the Summer before.
