The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

“The phone call was about four o’clock on that day"

Good that we're getting our irons in the fire nice and early.

I'm glad it didn't happen .
Looking back at our failings over December in those games that were all winnable, that was so costly . It's a shame we hadn't shaken things up with the mangager before that run.

No, I can't say that I'm upset that Rickie Lambert isn't sitting on our bench for the rest of the season and presumably the two seasons following it.

What does bother me though is that we decided as a club that another striker was important and decided to act on it for the first time after 32 and three-quarter days of a 33 day window.

Perhaps Randolph & Toms new PR inspired tag line could be 'A day late & a dollar short'.

Seems to sum up their reaction to events.

Me too. We would have been straddled with an over the hill striker. We don't need him for our relegation scrap, we wouldn't need him next season in the premier league or the championship. He would just be another big wage we are looking to shift.

Exactly.

You do not need the sufficiency of little grey cells of a Poirot to deconstruct this narrative.

Foxy probably thinks we all came down with last night's rain.

Supposed to be 16. From the picture I have seen looks about 28!

The new Roger Milla then! Who was the other footballer who was supposedly a fair few years older than generally reported?

[OCD]

From Saturday apparently. I doubt he's the answer to our current problems.

You may be thinking of '17 year old' Joseph Minala:

[Damo70]

No. Was it Kanu?

[N'ZMAV]

Yakubu?

[Damo70]

I think it was Kanu. Can't 'swear down' (as my thirteen year old son would say) though.

Obafemi Martins is older than he claims. Allegedly.

Isn't there an urban Myth that Rigarbert Song was playing for Derby(?) when he was in his mid-40's, though listed as being about 29 or something.
Sorry, by Urban myth I mean...the truth.

EDIT-
I'm thinking of Taribo West I think.
