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

[Jimbo]

those two wins have secured our survival

No they haven't. But you're right, we're not as desperate for players as we were at the beginning of January.

[Matt C]

I think we're done until the summer now.

[DeKuip]

Is Adam adamant ?

No. Stuart Goddard is, or was.

Ridicule is nothing to be scared of.

[Shrek]

If NRC goes in the summer though, we will still be light of a player who can put a foot in.

Got a feeling Houllier may offer NRC a new deal

I hope so, Nigel is a good player, not the best but does a really good job like last night. He has that bite we miss when he isn't playing.

[KevinGage]

Just seen Houllier say there will not be any more transfers on last nights Sky interview

Heard that too. The big tease!

Wouldn't read a huge amount into that.

Didn't he make a great play on the fact that we wouldn't be in the market for a forward?

You could argue -like Holt and a few others have- the the policy changed. But that French journo who does the podcast was suggesting that it was always GH's intention to spend and he knew he had a decent wedge on taking the job. When the accepted wisdom from other media outlets were we were scaling down only.

Wait 'till Summer IMO.

And then try and get Taiwo, Cissokho, a creative midefield player and a 'keeper.

A fairly good player but not worth a hefty wage increase he is asking for, i think hogg could do his job next season.

The way he strolled off against Man City when the rest of the team we're still celebrating suggests to me he won't be here come August.

[JJ-AV]

Yeah Nige is off, unfortunately. But for his reported wage demands we could get better.

He's good enough to get the contract he seeks and first team football elsewhere, so I don't blame him.

Good servant and a good pro. Not his fault O'Neill paid so much for him.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Most of our business will be done in the Summer now, but i'd still make an effort to get a left back.

Didn't Gerard say he was looking to offer him a new deal when he took over?
I don't mind him staying, but not as first choice and I don't think he's done anything to warrant a hike in wages.

Definitely. However, Walker played left-back when at Sheffield United, so he could play there with Cuellar at right back or even Luke Young or Lichaj.

Ged is happy with our left back options apparently.

He said he was happy with our striking options. However, I was very impressed with Baker.

I hope we're not selling Davies to SHA
