January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[Greg N'Ash]

We'd better after wasting all that money on Keane

Apologies if I've missed it, but how would we get around the 'can't be registered with three clubs in the one year' rule vis a vis Dann?

If it can be done and we can get shot of Collins this window, that would be a great bit of business in all honesty.  Dann isn't a world beater, but he would be an upgrade on Ginge.

all that money....millions and millions ain't it Greg? Especially as everyone around are going crazy buying players. Lerner out!!

[Summers]

Collins and a couple of mil for Dann would be great business.

Makes sense, not sure how much Dunne has got left in the tank either.

Anyway isn't Dann out for a month or so after nearly having his knackers removed in a game recently? Can't see it happening

[PeterWithesShin]

According to physioroom Dann is due back the 21st.

He's Ok now, they stitched them back on, the only downside is he can now call for the ball in Soprano.

yeah its the thought of it though. Makes me feel funny just thinking about it. If we signed him i'd be forever worrying he was gonna split the stitches during a match.

At least we know he has a pair. Unlike a certain rat faced winger currently helping the police with their inquiries.

Liverpool guy on another forum was discussing him today. The terms "gutless" and "coward" were used. So it weren't just us

[KevinGage]

I might be in a minority, but I'd have him back.

If you accept that he is a bit of a pansy, and you know you're not going to get Shaun Teale style tackling  (or just about any sort of tackling for that matter) out of him, he does what most wingers should do - create chances and score goals.

True, he hasn't been doing much of that for the Redscouse. And I wonder if he regrets the move now.  He took a lot of stick for leaving in the manner he did, but after seeing another one of our best players depart and a duffer like McLeish appointed, it was pretty clear that we weren't even trying to create the illusion of giving it a go this year.   

For a player in the England squad, who hasn't come through the ranks and has no real connection with the area, it's to be expected that he wants to spend the best years of his career actively competing for trophies/ success.  And he'll want to play for a club where he thinks he is best placed to do that.  That was us in 2009.  But not in 2011.

Wouldn't touch Craig Gardner.  For me it would be in the same category as us bringing back Downing.  If he was a blose fan, then fine, but don't pretend to be one or the other.  Turncoat.

Edit: That, and I don't particularly rate him as a player either.

[gervilla]

Craig Gardner just isn't good enough .
