January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[kippaxvilla2]

So that's four moderators that have posted since the 'massive c*** post and not one request to withdraw it.

On the main point,  I take it to mean that getting Beye off the books at almost any cost bottom line removes approximately 2m off the wage bill without looking to cash in on prized assets.

I thought I made it quite clear that it's not on, but apologise if it should have been made clearer.

Dave's post crossed with mine so that's an end to it.  Apologies for me being on the high horse.  I am still smarting from my ban nearly 4 years ago!

I still think he has a good general point about how the wage bill is being reduced however.

Just read on our forum that Man Utd's Macheda is supposedly going to QPR on loan. May take one of the clubs apparently in for Bent out of the equasion!

Beye , you are the c**t  , making people fall out on here because of you .  AND the t**t that bought you . 

Habib Beye . Why oh why ..  * shakes head *

Sorry Greg, I've read it back and it just looks bad, it was meant to be a light hearted dig (I'm ex-Army, calling people c***s is part of the banter), I think you took it better than the Mods and others, but it was wrong and I apologise.

Good on yer mate

Are you excited about the 30th of Jan?


Newcastle are being linked with a 5 million deal for Collins.... yes please! Wonder if AM will attempt to get Guthrie in that deal if he can.

I do hope Montgomerie has been out and about scouting though, he has a decent record in the past turning players up, so I am hoping we are not limited to the British market this winter.

No it doesn't as the £2mil will have to be paid off either in one bulk sum or over the course of the rest of his contract. So we would not be saving anything either way, but we are currently paying less as he is on loan with a small percentage being paid for by Donny. And as Dave W pointed out, if we have an injury to Cueller and Hutton we will still have a Beye to call back who might even have some match sharpness back after playing in competitive games.

An I the only person that things Herd is better than Clark in midfield?

I think they're both ok in there but if was picking one or the other, it would be Clark and Herd would be at right back.

expensive insurance policy!

Old Greg started this off by saying that reducing the wage bill was a smokescreen, that the club just didn't want to spend money on players. Why they want to save on transfers but not on wages he is yet to explain but I'm sure he'll invent another stupid theory in due course.

Dave's apologised, Greg's accepted it so why are you trying to stir things up?

If and it is money is limited then we should go out and take that winger off Small Heath ~ Redmond or Mutch the one who played in Europe the other week.  Looks like a young well Ashley Young.

12 million no chance.

Why don't you try reading all the posts Chris.

Nathan Redmond will go for £3/£4m up front with adds on for games/goals/england caps,etc if Blues have any sense (which I doubt)
