January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[Mazrim]

Gardner is ready to play. But we could do with another.

Any chance of Makoun coming back?  I only really see Ireland and Bannan as centre mid options in a 3, which means Clark and Petrov staying fit or Gardner really stepping up.

Makoun is currently injured but will be going back to Olympiacos (spelling ?).  Eck wont call him back anyway as he doesn't rate him and he will most likely be sold off in the summer which is a shame as 7 games to judge a player who has just joined the prem is NOT long enough.  Even british based players have taken their time i.e. Gareth Bale!  Spurs fans didnt rate him when he first joined but now he is a superstar. Makoun needed a good run of games like Delph did to really see what he was made of.

I'd like us to give Gardner a go.

[Dante Lavelli]

I cannot see us getting relegated this season, so as far as I'm concerned the more games the likes of Clark, Bannan, Herd and Gardner (even Ireland) get the better.  I think another loan will just restrict their match time which will mean we'll know less about who we need in the summer.

Just read on twitter (i know!!) that Enda Stevens maybe joining Watford on loan.

Makoun is currently injured

Fit again and played the last three Greek Super League games according to the Mail this week. Some quotes from AM about him which didn't sound as if he's in his plans at all.

oh ok.  Thought he was still injured but clearly not lol!  Im sure they originally said he was out until Feb?

We either need to get another loan asap, or bite the bullet and give Gary Gardner some game time pronto in the centre of midfield, because Clark is brilliant, but needed more at left back with Warnock costing us dearly week in week out.

When is Warnock's contract up? I can't see anyone actually spending money on him.

[Hoppo]

End of season 12/13 the same as Dunne and Collins. I for one will be opening the bubbly in The Ads.

I would jump at 2 million for him, I reckon MON would pay it.


Genuinely, I would be much happier with Ridgewell in there thank Warnock.

Exactly what I said last week.

Anybody know what our incoming fee is for the Delph loan? 

I was just thinking that whatever that is, plus the £300k we're due from The ex-Bolton Defender, might mean we have some financial room to bring in a loan player of our own this month?

Incoming fee for Delph?! We'll be lucky if they cover half his wages. I think I read on the Mail that Villa were asking his agent to tout him round for a loan move. Anyway, his wages, full or not, would hardly offset Keane's/Galaxy's fees.

Then again Leeds are selling their captain to Norwich so maybe they need some of that money to cover the cost of Delph.

I still hope he has a future here. If he does it will be as an attacking midfielder or left sided player because he doesn't have the discipline in his tackling and retention to be an anchorman.
