January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[dave.woodhall]

What did that fat Welsh c*** just say on MOTD2?

Ruth Jones?

[PaulWinch again]

What did he say?

[dicedlam]

Reckons Bent is on his way.
Top 4 addition.

Arsenal?

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Hartson on MOTD saying Bent would be a massive addition to any of the top 4. No news there then. Oh and we were first on the highlights. Or is that because it was Chelsea !! 

[PaulWinch again]

Well he's right that he'd be a good addition for the top 4 lot, but doesn't mean he's going. We paid a lot of money, he hasn't indicated he's remotely unhappy at the club. In fact he's actually indicated that he is happy. So I don't see any reason for us to sell.

[Ian.]

Don't they all say they are happy though. We know only too well they scoot at the first mention of Manchester, Liverpool etc.

[olaftab]

It's good to see that we have the only topic and top target of this transfer window.

[Ozzjim]

It smells of inevitability. Barry, Milner, Young, Downing.... Bent. I can't see it being under 30 million plus though.

A list of Premier League "Bosmans":

I'd hope we keep Guzan and Cuellar.  Of the rest I'd like us to show an interest in Hoilett, Klasnic and Rodallega.

I'm assuming we won't be looking at the likes of Berbatov and Drogba.

I'd take a punt on Salgado of Blackburn. He seems a prospect.

What the 53 year old spaniard?

Salgado is old and crap!

Yes.

It's almost as if PWS was joking when he described him as a prospect, innit

*wink*

[PeterWithesShin]

He's only a youngster. You're all just miffed that you missed such a potential bargain.

How is it inevitable? At least two of those were for daft money while the other two had contracts running down.

[SashasGrandad]

If a top 4 team want Bent - why not look at players falling out with their managers?

Bent 4 Rooney?

[PaulWinch again]

I'd say the fact that Bent has 3 and a half years on his deal means it certainly isn't inevitable. If we do sell him, the club will have a lot of explaining to do.

How does it make any difference if it is daft money, though? They still ended up going.
