January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Pires was probably the best player available to us, or indeed anyone, who needed to get a body in at that moment in time.

Keane isn't.

It's pretty obvious we haven't got any money to spend in January, so Keane is probably our best bet. Not much difference to the Pires signing really.

As we don't have an injury crisis why not just save the money and put it towards a long term signing?

What's wrong with taking a player on for a couple of months who is only going to cost us 8 weeks wages? He could score us the goals to save us from a relegation battle. He's a better bet than Heskey on the bench, that's for sure.

The fact we don't have any money and it's rumoured it could cost us around £750K including loan fee for a player to be here for 2 months?

Actually I am not sure, not even sure he is better than Fonz or Weimen

The fact that he is utterly crap now and is playing in MLS for a reason?

But that £750k could help us to a top half finish. Something that looks a million miles away at the moment. Anyway, if we could afford it we wouldn't pay it.

Personally I'd prefer us to find out if either Fonz or Weimann might be good enough rather thank spunk money on a player like Keane.

There are some good players in America. Donovan is pretty decent. And remember, Keane is 31, not 37 (like Pires).

Rely on the kids and it'll end in tears.

Merson was a pundit on the sky panel at the time

You are Robbie Keane's agent and I claim my £5.

Demba Ba has a £7m release clause, says Harry.

http://tinyurl.com/7q3wdqp

Harry Redknapp has sparked a massive transfer scramble for Newcastle’s Demba Ba by revealing his release clause is around HALF the £10million mooted over the weekend.

Officials at St James’ Park have been desperate to keep a lid on the fact that the striker, who has netted 15 times this season, is available for the right fee.

But asked about a £10m release clause, Spurs boss Harry Redknapp said: “I think you will find it is a lot less than that.”

Asked if was as little as £7m, Redknapp added: “Even less than that.”

A whole host of clubs are set to investigate poaching the predator who destroyed Manchester United last week with an outstanding display.

Liverpool, Sunderland, Everton and QPR are all in the hunt for reinforcements up front. Ba left West Ham last summer as he had a clause in his contract saying he could quit if they were relegated.

Ba has blown away fears over a knee injury that prompted Stoke to pull out of a move for him last year.

Even less thank £7million according to 'Onest 'Arry. I'm curious how he would know what the contract details are of a player at another club. Surely he hasn't been tapping anyone up.

Actually less according to Mr Motorgob. As much as I hated O'Leary how he got got done for talking about Beattie and Redknapp never has about numerous players under contract is beyond me.
