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

[eastie]

So no signs of anything yet?

Yes thick bloody snowflakes as big as ping pong balls !
Oh transfers you mean , erm no!

NRC is a better defensive midfielder than Gardner.

Remember people it's a defensive midfielder we are after.

I think we need a couple of midfielders and another defender .
Defensive midfield I would like to see Clark alongside Westwood , that may see an improvement, and bring in another central defender.

Clark has been poor in centre defence and I think he would be a better player as a defensive midfielder.

I don't think Lambert will do it, but I'd be trying Clark at LB, once Vlaar is back in the side, to try and tighten things up.  A could DCM infront of Lowton, Vlaar, Baker, Clark would look a bit more solid to me.

Me too. As for NRC on a free we have very little to lose

NRC would need to pay Aston Villa and me personally for me to even begin to contemplate wanting that turkey back..what have we come to, dear oh dear me

There is no chance with all this snow about. The fax machine will be jammed straight away.

[placeforparks]

at least NRC has got a bit of fight and a bit of presence about him.

Clark has been tried at left back before and let's just say it wasn't a success!  He needs to play in the position Gareth Barry originally played a decade ago in a 5 man back line.  Barry was able to play the ball out rather than hoofing it and developed into a world-class midfielder and still is.  His performance for Citeh yesterday was brilliant.

Watching Ipswich last week I said their number 23 was running midfield and I was astounded when I saw who it was on the scoreboard.  I had no idea he played for them.

[sid1964]

NRC - Is this the same player, that got a 5 / 10 in the paper for his performance in the papers

I have seen elephants control a football better than him

I am 48 years of age and if you want a headless chicken running around in midfield then Lambert might as well give me a chance, instead of signing NRC

There is a reason that Ipswich could not wait to get rid of him.....no what could that be....oh yes he is crap!

[Mazrim]

I had no idea he was running midfield.

Honestly, if we think turning to NRC is the best solution available we may as well just pack it up.
Henke is bound to have some solutions to our needs, we just need to go and get them.

Hasn't Henke left the club?

[Toronto Villa]

Yeh, it must be inspiring for the other players that the player waving his arms furiously and screaming at them to pick it up is the one giving the ball away.

Henke has left apparently , there's a thread on him .

[Mazrim]

He's leaving in a month for a coaching position but has already done enough scouting for us to use I would imagine.

Has it been confirmed somewhere?
