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

[eastie]

SSN just said that Lambert has said that he won't be signing anyone.

That's us down then. Absolute fucking disgrace.

Don't be so meladramatic- we have 34 hours to play with.

[Dave]

If lambert does not spend the cash by 11 pm tomorrow he should be fired at 11-01 pm- preferably from a cannon!

Assuming there is money to spend.

[Monty]

SSN said that? I want quotes beyond him saying it was unlikely.

I'm basing that on the fact that Lambert has said we'll sign noone. It can be 34 hours, it could 100 hours it doesn't matter. If we sign noone we're down.

[Rigadon]

Looks like Randy Lerner is skint to me.

[LeeB]

I'd offer Bent to Stoke for Adam/Palacios/Upson, or Fulham for Risse and Hangeland, and buy Diame.

I've just come of the phone from my brother suggesting we offer that very same deal to Stoke.

[DerHammer]

This is like sitting by the bedside of an old friend watching them pass away....very slowly.

Well this 'friend' can fuck off if they think I'm holding their hand as they go, seriously switch the life support off now!!!

[Nirog72]

If he said that he is either being honest and we're doomed, or deliberately misleading a group of fans desperate for a bit of positive news. Either way, not great, but I'd prefer the second.

[Monty]

Lambert's playing with fire here. If there is money available and he signs nobody and we go down, then there is every justification to sack him.

There is money there Dave. If there wasn't we would not have been in for the likes of Sissoko, which we were, even admitted by Lambert. Enough for a couple of signings. Lambert is the issue with the money at the moment, and I agree with Eastie in principal, not spending a penny this window is suicide, and borders on negligence of the club. As the person looking after it, it would be extremely stupid to leave it in the hands of this squad.

Has he actually said that though or said nothing happening at the moment?
The fact he has admitted bidding for players tells us theres some money there , if he chooses not to use it then he can fuck off now.

He has also said several times he believes this squad will stay up.

[damon loves JT]

I don't believe SSN; and I don't believe anything lambert might say to SSN. It might be true but I'm not taking their jumped-up clown circus word for it.

There is clearly some money there, so if we sign no-one then Lambert should be fired.

[ADVILLAFAN]

What time does deadline close is it midnight or 5pm or what?

11pm. Then at 11.30pm news will filter through that Spurzz have signed Messi on loan from Barcelona until the end of the season and they'll be let off. They always seem to get a mad transfer. Could be QPR doing the late deals now Arry is there though.

[Monty]

At least one midfielder, able to press the ball and win it, that's all. We could probably just about get by with the rest, just about (if Dunne does come back) but the midfield issue WILL NOT GO AWAY BY WISHING IT, Paul.
