January 2016 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[oswald funkletrumpet]

It's also knowing I'm going to have to watch us losing with shit like Bacuna, Westwood, Richardson, Gabby, Hutton, Gestede, Kozak blah for the rest of the season as we disappear down the plughole which I could do without. Knowing the club half of them will still be here stinking the place out next season as well as we pretend Bacuna is a jack of all trades, Westy a dynamo that keeps things ticking and Kozak has this instinct. They don't they're fucking crap, that's why we have next to no points as we enter February.

bang on

far too many excuses have been made for players that have no place being here

Does anyone else find the transfer window jokes about bit signing people incredibly tedious?

Lerner, Fox & Hollis have given everyone little choice really. In a window that was our last chance to try and stop going down, they have signed nobody.

I am now starting to think that forcing Garde to resign by not backing him is also part of their ambition. Doubtless they would love to get his wages off the books now they have decied to relegate the club.

Yes it is a conspiracy theory but the club isnt giving us much else to think about right now.

Geezus - that is ****ing dumb  - and I live in the land of conspiracy theories that would fry your brain cells

[Percy McCarthy]

I'm more intrigued as to why anyone would think a non eu player with only two caps wouldn't have work permit issues but maybe I'm being harsh.

Who's that then?

the only conspiracy theory I know of is the one involving fox!!!!
a consortium of his to buy us when we hit rock bottom!!!! how about that one?

[ozzjim]

We realistically have what 3 working days left?? We are going to get a keeper if we are lucky. Frustrating. 2-3 players would have been at least something to bed in.

He's talking about Kalinic, but given the number of non-EU players who don't meet the 75% of games in 2 years requirement but get through on appeal (look at our squad list, this applies to literally the first player on the list) it's a bit of a pointless comment.  Someone with a growing reputation who has been part of a squad ranked 18th in the world should get through the appeal pretty easily so there's something odd about the whole story, especially now we've gone back in for a 2nd appeal, I think there's a bit of the story that's not surfaced yet.

If there is the smell of rodent I would hazard a guess at the problem being non football related.

lets hope we get the other kalinic then

It's frustrating when you see clubs like Bournemouth signing Benik Afobe from Wolves, and he scores on his debut, he wouldn't have even had to move house to join us. Norwich sign Naismith, he scores on his debut, Southampton sign Austin, he scores on his debut, Newcastle are signing players, Sunderland are signing players and making moves for others. Crystal Palace are signing a proven goal scorer.
It is obvious we are not even trying to sign anyone, the club have decided to stick with what we have. Our wage structure is now geared towards the championship, why would anyone come to us?
I wonder will we be spun stories after the window has closed about how we tried to sign players.
It stinks.

[pauliewalnuts]

It is pretty concerning that other clubs in the relegation mix all seem to be buying players whereas we seem to be doing nothing.

I really don't think players want to come

[Steve67]

We need another huge demonstration march to let the club know we're not happy. Like the one against Crystal Palace. Oh, hang on!

We are fucked, Lerner and Hollis don't give a shit.  It makes me so very angry. Fucktard shitheads.

I think we would've spent had we not lost to our nearest rivals in the league in successive games. `we're fucked and the board know it.....

[ASHTONVILLA]

Not happy with Lerner and his stooges.

As I said, he may not have passed an English test. Nothing odd about that.
