The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[DB]

It's supplying the forwards with service that's the problem.

It's supplying the forwards with service that's the problem.

I actually think it is both that, and the movement of the forwards. Benteke looks short of confidence with "normal play" while the others just don't move into scoring positions enough to be found. Weimann did twice on Sunday and got chances when playing more centrally. Gill helps, but the forwards need to do their bit in stretching the defence too. Benteke getting down the sides and bumping people out the way, Gabby getting on the shoulder and looking for a through ball or working the channels and getting it in the box etc. Weimann if out wide is a waste of a shirt. If we got another striker of the quality of Ba, it would certainly give those in the side a bit of a rocket. But at what, 29? why would we suddenly start spending money on that sort of aged player? Can't see it.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Has Bale joined us yet?

[Dante Lavelli]

Demba Ba is a much better player than he ever gets credit for, always scores goals and always creates problems. I would love him and Benteke up front with Sinclair and Gil supplying them, but there is more chance of us signing me than spending 8 million on Demba Ba.

We'd also need to buy one, maybe two, very good defensive midfielders to accommodate all those players too.

Yes.

Sanchez and Delph can handle it I am sure.

However NOT FOR 13 F IN MILLION Euros.

Is that the rumored amount?

Yes, acording to some dude on twitter who said the Beşiktaş vice-chairman turned it down

I think it's 13million Turkish Lira which is about £3.5m.

[Des Little]

Ba would be superb. Come on Lambert let's be 'avin im

Or Dawkins. That's why we need Sinclair.

It says on that site "1 goal / 446   mins"

Isn't that about the same rate at which we (as in the entire team) score goals these days?

[aj2k77]

That's just this season. Over his career he's been booked more times (4) than he's scored (2), which isn't the best for a forward
