January 2016 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Matt C]

how many loans players can we have until End of season apart from the Liverpool defender. Just wondering. is it 2 ?

We can only have two from PL clubs at any one time I believe - I think it is up to four from abroad though.

[OCD]

It would be a chance for Ashley Cole to get his career back on track so it's a question of his attitude.

[ozzjim]

Really? He's be to us what Rio Ferdinand was to QPR.

Ferdinand was completely shot fitness wise.

We need a short term solution at left back, and Cole is miles better than Bacuna or Richardson there.

Bring Cissokho back too from Porto and have some competition there.

[SoccerHQ]

Lescott is our Rio.

Cole hasn't played for a long while so yes that is a worry but just look at his career, it's lightyears ahead of anything we've had at left back for ages.

[ozzjim]

To be fair, with Scotlands finest ever right back on the other side, we would be sorted.

[Matt C]

Naismith is a decent shout.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

Cole also rumoured to be attracting interest from New York

[peter w]

His game is fucked then.

[AVH87]

Struggling to focus too much on this window as there is a lot of football to be played until then, and if things go badly the window could be futile. However, if we are in touch I think Steven Naismith who is reportedly available would strengthen us, hard-working player who knows the league well and scores goals.

[john e]

we will be in the bottom three come the window probably bottom,
unfortunately this will affect the sort/type of player we will attract more than anything this time

Unless Garde can pull of a masterstroke? Maybe a few short-term signings until the end of the season.

[Clampy]

Naismith is a decent shout.

Yes it is. I'm not sure what's gone at Everton for him. Martinez seemed to get the best out of him for a while but he's not getting a game now.

I don't think it's anything more strange than you're just not going to play him ahead of Lukaku, Deulofeu, Kone or Barkley.

[ChicagoLion]

Naismith is a decent shout.

Not sure he is what we need, an occaisional goal scoring midfielder that is usefull but hardly dominant. Jedinak is more like it.

[BigBrownVillaStan]

Naismith is a decent shout.

everton are a bigger club than us, trying to break into the top 6 / 4.
why would he swap?
