January Transfer Window

[Gareth]

I wonder if the Elphick to Reading loan has a financial undertone to it, sure we probably still owe them part of Tshibola fee and maybe loan fee is being written off against that?

If he helps Reading deny Derby / Cardiff / Bristol C etc any points then fair play.

He wants first team football at his age. He is now 4th in the pecking order again. Good luck to him and hope he carries on the form he has shown of recent times.
Hope its a loan to permanent in the summer.

No more signings and no striker according to Bruce in the presser

Not getting a new striker in is a blow, really not fussed about any other area of the pitch.

Guess Ulloa was our target, looks like he's going Brighton and we don't have a back up option.

[SoccerHQ]

Ulloa now joined Brighton.

Bugger. 

I'll be keeping an eye open for him - since his favourite restaurant (with Argentinian bill o' fare i.e. meat!) is just round the corner from where I live. I hope he's cackin' himself... 

[cdbearsfan]

Not getting a forward in is recklessly stupid. We've had a month to think of an alternative in case Ulloa doesn't sign.

[SoccerHQ]

I'd try for someone like Mitrovic.

I know he's a headcase but he can score goals and needs a run of games somewhere. Newcastle want to loan him out anyway.

Gayle could be another option.

I can only assume Benteke is coming back....

No more signings and no striker according to Bruce in the presser

I didn't hear him say that. What he did say (this morning) was that he didn't expect to be busy but would always consider any options that would improve us.

Best get a plumber in - these things can back up.  Nasty business.

That wasn’t what he said, he thought it might be quiet but didn’t go as far as to say we wouldn’t get anyone else in.

For these press briefings, I know we get to see the Facebook version but he also has sessions with radio & newspapers - for me it is inconceivable that no one asked for clarification of McCormack’s situation so do we expect more little snippets in the papers tomorrow?

Milner, Barry or Delph it's defo got to be one of them
