January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[Concrete John]

if we were to sell Collins for £6m and spend that on the midfield, I don't think we'd to worry about the likes of Boumsong.  The new guy, plus Herd when fit again, would allow Clark to be used at the back, along with the fit again Cuellar.  I think that'd be Ok for the rest of the season.

Boumsong? FFS.

Just read this article >>> http://tinyurl.com/cbzthvz>>> about Enda Stevens joining us in Jan and Mcleish saying that it will be a tough ask for him to dislodged Warnock from the left back position as he has been in "great form"?  Really?  I think Warnocj has been quite average for us and a liability at times.

Anyway, at least there will be some competition for that position.

I've read that the McEcharan move to Bolton might be off as Bolton have Kakuta on loan - even though they're sending him back they're unable to loan 2 different players from the same club in one season.

So maybe he will come here? Not that I want him!

[Greg N'Ash]

If Boumsong is the sort of player AM's after then i'd hesitate to give him any money. Crap, old, pointless.

The daily mail said that Bolton have won the race to sign McEchran on loan as Gael Kakuta has now agreed to be loaned out to another club?  Is that even allowed?

I'd rather give Wiemann a chance than Fonz.

So would I - he could suprise a few if given a chance at Chelski.

I was reading this thread for ages thinking 'well he's not great, but suppose he'd do a job'. Then I realised that it's Boumsong and not Bassong that everyone is on about. A player not good enough for Newcastle's backline!

Yes I agree Id rather spend the money in midfield I don't rate Collins and happily see him go for £6M.

Did McLeish have Boumsong at Rangers with him? I think thats where the skunks signed him from!

If Alex is surplus to requirements at Chelsea we could do worse.
We might get him on loan or cheap as they want him off their books.

[Rick_avfc]

Alex would be a very good addition i think but i cant imagine him taking a pay cut to come to us.  Im pretty sure he will be on high wages there and we are looking to reduce ours

[Concrete John]

If we were to sell Collins and release Cuellar in the summer, then him plus Dunne and Clark, with Baker as fourth choice, would be excellent.  I'm sure wages could be worked out given we're probably paying the other two upwards of £70k a week.  The question is would he come to us or have better offers elsewhere?

He would probably get better offers elsewhere

Alex is on for Arsenal isn't he? Would be a good move for both you would think.
