Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[Phil from the upper holte]

No we don't, I can't see it..I hope

[Des Little]

Not Riise, please!

The few days of optimism already being chipped away...

All we are saying.......



....is give Risse a chance



I'll get me coat.

Lambert will continue to sign 'full-backs' until he finds the new John Gidman / Ashley Cole type fullback who will provide width in his narrow system.
 

[Gregorys Boy]

Do we need any more defenders?

No if they play like they did on Saturday, yes if they revert back to type.  We certainly have plenty, its just a case of if they can form a good unit.

People were saying what a poor signing Senderos was not long ago but he looked decent Saturday.

Cameron can play holding midfield, right back and centre half. Could be useful and allow Lowton to go out on loan

Think Saturday was a case of experience helping in a difficult game.  But it was just ONE GAME!  We don't want another Arsenal from last season.

We already have holding midfield sorted out, and have signed enough defenders already.

Agreed. The winter months when the season's been going a while normally shows a true picture. I'm quietly optimistic though just because we seem to have a bigger, more experienced squad. I think we'll still struggle for creativity at times without more additions but we should be better organised and know what to do in match situations.

Riise. It's happening.


























Shit.

and your proof of this is?

I'll say this though, we did get completely robbed in the second game against Chelsea. Not saying the season would have turned out much differently but that was a point stolen from us, maybe even 3.

[Risso]

I suppose with Riise we would then have two players in him and Richardson who could play either left back or left midfield.  I can sort of see the point in it, especially if he's not on big wages.

Would certainly be a better bench option than Lowton, Clark and Baker.  I accept that it is not always easy, but surely we should be looking to sell some of these players rather than loan them out. 

[Sexual Ealing]

Why wouldn't we want to win at Arsenal?

[eamonn]

Is loaning out all these players Lambert stubbornly refusing to believe that they can't make it here or can we just not get anyone to buy them? Realistically, how many of Luna, Helenius, Sylla, Tonev, Bennett, Lowton and Stevens are likely to ever be Premier League regulars?
