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

[bertlambshank]

Ego has just retweeted, Welbeck on loan to Villa.

Now that would be quality.

I can't see him fitting in at right back.

[Mazrim]

That says to me that a striker is leaving.
Also, I'd only be into that if there was a chance of a permanent deal.

I'd leave the strikeforce as is without selling anybody and work on the team elsewhere.
The Welbeck link doesn't feel genuine to me but who knows.

[Greg N'Ash]

if welbeck's coming then i'd put money that Bent's off.

[Matt Collins]

I'd be pretty surprised if Welbeck is coming. Why would he? Why would Man U?

I think we've other priorities tbh - like virtually everywhere  in the side except right back and in goal!

well with rvp, rooney and hernandez he's going to get limited playing time i guess, though rooney's crocked ATM so you'd think they'd keep him till he's back at least

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Link on Transfer Tavern saying PL interested in Steve Morrison (Norwich). Think papers are looking at the possibility of Bent leaving and just filling in the blanks. Priority is LB-2-3 CM- CB of good quality ready for first team places .........

Whos Ego?

[ozzjim]

Not a big Welbeck fan, but he knows where the goal is and has a bit of pace. If he came it would be the end of Bent though surely. Bent out for 12-14m, Welbeck on loan as a replacement till the summer when we can find a longer term solution and use the money on the defence and midfield.... might be a decent bit of business.

Really? Bloody hell, I'd take that.
Probably bollocks mind.

[Dave Cooper please]

We're no threat to Man Utd, in fact Welbeck might help us take points of their rivals, he won't play a huge amount with the striking options they have.
Makes a lot of sense, but is probably still bollocks!

[Risso]

I'd be pleased with Wellbeck but think it's about as likely as us signing Frank Lampard, ie not very. 

[olaftab]

Wrong player if he is coming. Don't need forwards need midfield and defence.

[SoccerHQ]

Agree Risso.

Fergie is a master at rotating four strikers and no way would he go into the second half of a season with just three out and out strikers so unless they're signing Lewandoswki this window which I doubt, then I really can't see him going anywhere.

As it stands upfront is the least of our worries. We need players who can get the ball to them on a regular basis!

[PaulWinch again]

I'd be happy we need good options and it'd be a start. We also need a centre half, left back, two centre mids and a creative player.

[Holte L2]

The story behind Welbeck according to my Man Utd mate is they are after Sneijder. If they land him, then Welbeck can go on loan.
