January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

I heard £7m mentioned this morning, so that's £300,000 to us, which amounts to feck all in the modern game!

6 weeks wages for Beye at least  ;(

[Clampy]

7m for Cahill is an absolute steal. With quality players around him he'll go on and probably replace Terry as England captain.

Meanwhile in dowtown Amangsett the early morning peace is shattered by the sound of "DOH!" coming from one of the local mansions

If he was that good, Bolton would have asked for more than that.

[Shrek]

Yes we should keep him. But only if Alex Mcleish is going to change the way he plays

Liverpool aside, have you not seen a change in our play over the last few games?

That's my point.. We have played better because we have replaced Bent with a creative player.

[Greg N'Ash]

he's out of contract. Bolton aren't gonna risk getting nowt for him.- they can't afford to

[Shrek]

Those who wouldnt be too bothered if we sold Bent - where do they think our goals are going to come from?

Exactly.  It's not like the cash would be reinvested in anybody as good is it?

This is the most depressing thing.

Well, against Arsenal we replaced him with Gabby, who was below par.  I've stated my views as to why we've picked up a bit of form, but fair enough if you don't agree.

It makes you wonder why they did'nt sell him sooner. I personally think it's because clubs were not convinced. £7m is not much of a risk for Chelsea at the end of the day.

mebbe. all told bolton haven't done too badly out of it - got their money and a bit on top. If he'd signed a new contract for them it would have been a different story on the money front i guess. Certainly the general consensus is he's been tapped up and has been going to chelsea since the start of the season so i'm not surprised no-one else came in for him unless it was Citeh or Manu

Those acceptable to go:-
Heskey.
Collins or Cuellar, but not both.
Beye.
Ireland.

[Ryu]

Clampy I think they would have sold him sooner if clubs had met their asking price, but when push came to shove arsenal and man utd decided they were better of shopping elsewhere if they were going to spend big money on a centre half.

Would've said Ireland up until the Arsenal game.  Get his head right (yes, yes I know) and he's the spark we lack.

Rather he said that than "I've got a stinking great £30m war chest". Other clubs will price players accordingly. Whether it's true or not is the key question!

well if he sells Bent to do it then he's just been set-up for a fall by Lerner because he'll get the blame if a motley crew of duffers arrive

I still think that's all wages related and not transfer fee.
