January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[TheSandman]

I reckon we will use our special relationship with Sir Alex to prize some talent away from Old Trafford. I mean, after all he has done for the game at a giant of the game it's only fair for  us to take sub-standard shit like Gibson and Evans off his hands. We'll be the new Sunderland!

[garyshawsknee]

Don't you mean the old Sunderland?!

[PaulWinch again]

I just don't see the point of bringing Gibson in, who is moderate at best. We have Gardner out on loan, we may as well give him a chance.

I think it was right to send GG out on loan, but having seen some of the stuff going on at Coventry (I had no idea it was so bad), I wonder how sending him there is going to affect him.

Oh I agree it was right to do it at the time. I'm more looking at January, I can't see why we should bring in Gibson rather than give Gardner a chance.

You'd have thought we'd have learnt our lesson from the signing of Djemba Djemba to never sign any of Man U's rejects

Paul McGrath.

I think we can bank on McLose to find another spectacular old favorite from somewhere North of the border similar to Hutton or even from the Sty.

If we're headed for the lower league, we may as well get a squad capable of playing a lower level of football. 

[Nirog72]

It wouldn't solve our immediate problems but wouldn't it ne nice to be at least linked to some really young promising players like the 16 year old from Wycombe and the Irish lad that Liverpool, Everton and Swansea have signed or been linked to today. If we are trying this 'not spending much' game you would have thought we would be first in the queue for this kind of opportunity. When was the last time we picked up a really promising 16 year old from another club, Gareth Barry? I know they don't always or even often work but surely we should be competing. Brendan Rogers at Swansea clearly thinks he can compete with 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' for the Irish lad - maybe we saw a big club was in for him and gave up.

Andy Blair reckons we are signing Craig Gardner, Steven Davis and Keith Andrews!!!!! God help us if that is true.....

[tarzansbrother]

Quite like the idea of Steven Davis especially for the reported fee of £2m. Craig "gargoyle" Gardner can feck right off.

[philsheard]

I was disappointed when Davis was sold under MON as I thought he had the ability to go on and be a big player. Will be interesting to see how he's developed north of the border and whether he can cut it back in England. Not sure about Keith Andrews. I know he plays for ROI but if he cant get into that Blackburn team then how can he be good enough for us?

And yes, C. Gardner can feck right off! 

[PaulWinch again]

Keith Andrews is utter rubbish, and quite old. Absolutely 100% no. I'm not keen on Davis coming back, but Andrews is a whole other level of no thanks.

[Karlos96]

If that's the kind of player we're looking to sign we might as well give up.

Has Andy Blair succumbed to Alzeimers already?
