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

Plus there's tax relief on making charitible donations.

I'd take Davies, Butland and Redmond, but they're only worth taking if you're going to do something with them. Butland will make an excellent signing for somebody but I don't think he'd come to us - he's progressed so much he'd expect to be moving somewhere he'd be first choice, and I'd rather have Guzan at the moment. As for Davies, I think he'd fit in just fine alongside Vlaar.

Isn't Gouffran mainly AMC and winger rather than striker even though he can play as one? if he's just about 750k-1 million we should be for him with that kind of money. But as Eastie said, midfield and defense must be the priority.

He -must- buy physical midfielder, in game against WBA we lost all energy from midfield when he had to sub Delph for Bannan and I think it cost us two points.

According to Sporting Life, Gouffran is earning £80k/week which is why they want rid of him. A bit much for Randy's purse I suspect!

You or them must be mistaking him for Gourcuff, can't imagine Gouffran being on 80k/week.

What's with this retrospective love-in of Curtis Davies?! He was always an accident waiting to happen. He wasn't worth £10m and he isn't worth £1.5m!

[N'ZMAV]

Forget Davies. He's a tit. Too average, injury prone and an accident waiting to happen. A bit like Richard Dunne.

Get him on the old Y.T.S. 17.50 FOR THE FIRST YEAR PER WEEK AND THEN 27.50 A WEEK AFTER THAT ! Curtis bloody Davis, do me a favour, please.

[cdbearsfan]

I'd have Davies back like a shot.

[MoetVillan]

its a bit harsh wanting Davies shot

oh, right i read it properly now. 

[villadelph]

Maybe Redmond, but no one else.

I see Coutinho is set for Liverpool..? Wish we could've struck a deal for him.

[Matt C]

Curtis Davies, today's Nigel Reo-Coker.

Curtis Davies, today's Nigel Reo-Coker.

and tomorrow's Steve Sidwell.

Curtis Davies, today's Nigel Reo-Coker.

Except NRC actually contributed to this club, he was first choice with Petrov under Houllier and pivotal to us staying up.

[Somniloquism]

Maybe Redmond, but no one else.

Whilst I would have loved him, he was always going to a club not fighting relegation* and we have more pressing areas to fill to survive this year.

* Aslo one that will probably get closest to matching/improving his Inter wage.
