January Transfer Thread: Speculation, Lies, Absolute Cr*p and Bosman Rumours

[JUAN PABLO]

Yeah, I can't see what the fuss is about with Sinclair either.

cant remember him playing?!

[nigel]

Incidentally, from what I've seen graham looks much more likely to make it than grealish. Not sure what grealish really has to trouble top players tbh.

Skill, in abundance.

If we're talking of our next young winger I reckon Courtney Cameron is in with a shout.
Has gone on loan to Rotherham, went on their forum site to see how he was getting on after a couple of games and they were raving about him.
Grealish just seems to beat players and you don't know how he's done it. Only seen some of his Next Gen games and he always seemed to do well.

[UK Redsox]

A pub team player can have skill in abundance.

What ? ..... Even Curtis Davies ?

[LeeB]

We're better off going for somebody like Zaha or Ince (or both) than Sinclair. Somebody we can keep for instance.
Most likely there will be fellows from the continent we've been looking at though.

Zaha would be perfect for us, can play anywhere across the front three we play and he's shit hot.

Sell Bent and catch that rising star.

Right on the money that is. Good call.

That's very kind of you.

[Percy McCarthy]

Holloway had only been in the job five minutes when he started talking about Zaha's future development and looking after his best interests and deciding when and where he should go etc. You know, all the bollocks he said about Adam before he failed at Liverpool and ended up at Stoke. The half-arsed club comments won't be far behind.

[Clampy]

I wonder if Arshavin would be a decent addition for a few months on loan. I think he'd fit in well on the left hand side.

Good player but I'd rather buy him than take him on loan.

[Brend'Watkins]

Great going forward but his work rate is less than Bent's when he doesn't have the ball.

Plus his wages may be a little steep. Just a suggestion though.

[David_Nab]

Diame at WHU apparantly has a 3.5mil release clause ..be a bargain at that price

[Mazrim]

Others will have seen more of him. But he looks a bit one paced to me. Not sure what his outstanding attribute as a winger would be. Hopefully I'm wrong. Though I seem to recall Mazrim rating quite a few of our youngsters as outstanding, who haven't really ripped up any trees . .

Maybe I should just write all our youngsters off and play it safe eh Matt? Of our wingers I only rated Albrighton highly and he is disappointing now for whatever reason but did make a big splash when he came through obviously as he was young player of the season. He may find his form again, he may not. Who else did I rate highly? Clark, our current starting centre half? Gardner, who has had wretched luck and not much chance yet? Siegrist who will be a top keeper. Johnson and Carruthers who are still waiting for their chance? Delfouneso might flop, I'll take that one on the chin. Anybody else?

What does your crystal ball say?

Grealish one paced? Not really. He's not lightning quick but he can certainly beat a man and he scores and makes goals.
His outstanding attribute is skill on the the ball. He's tricky and clever with good close control. The sort of player this country isn't really producing any more. And I'm pretty sure he's better than a pub player.
We'll see if he makes it. He's highly rated and playing well so has every chance. Likewise Graham who I'd rate slightly ahead of Grealsih at the moment. He could be exceptional.

The point was I'd rather wait and see how they develop than break the bank for Zaha. But if Zaha is affordable, great.

[garyshawsknee]

I like the look of Zaha,but for a player without any top flight experience I'm sure hell cost too much.Less than whatever Chelsea paid for Moses would be a fair price.
