January Transfer Window

[Villa in Denmark]

Hopefully we'll raise some much needed funds from a bidding war for Micah Richards.

2p won't get us very far.

And you have to balance that out against the loss of ‘Bantz’, and damage it could do to the dressing room.

I did'nt realise that Jordan Amavi was still on our books ( currently on loan to Marseille ). By all accounts he's playing well and has been called into the French Squad. Last summer he just missed out on a big money move to Seville Now his value has consequently increased it would be ideal if we could raise some much need funds by selling him for a really decent fee ( 10 to 12 mil ?).................Godzvilla!

The fee was already included in the loan and Marseille have already confirmed they'll trigger it, they just can't transfer his registration until a window is open.  What is slightly unclear is whether that will happen in January or the summer but given the loan contract was for the season I suspect the latter so we won't see anything in for him until then.

Loan deals should be enough to tide us over. Hopefully there is something in the Ulloa link.

Experienced, scored 15-20 at this level for Brighton and would actually fit our style of play. Exactly the sort we should be after.

Any permanent signing we'd probably have to give a 3 and a half year deal. What happens if we don't go up, SB is sacked and the new manager dosen't fancy said player so we're lumbered with them.

Ulloa plays like an Argentinian version of Kozak. We need a powerhouse upfront.

[Dougs Socks]

Why has he lined up this Swansea Macwotsitbugger on loan for?

We need somebody whom can get us a few goals aswell as making space for others to have a pop aswell, so why this guy??  Also, how many are we allowed on loan, cos surely we are close to the limit, and this guy will just limit them more. I dont understand it..

we have payed a lot more for players that are only worth that mind

True enough.

If we have ambitions to go up we should go all out to get Wells and Ulloa on loan. Without Kodjia our lack of options up front have been quite shocking really, we are very toothless. Desperate for an injection of quality there.

Very concerned about the back 4 too. With Samba out, and Terry fragile, finding a centre half would be useful.

Oh and if Johnstone ends up at a Prem club in Jan after a year getting confident and experience with us this Jan I will be well pissed off. I really hope we have the room to maneuver to agree a fee come May for him and keep him on loan until then.

[Clampy]

Isn't Johnstone here for the season anyway?

[LeeB]

Yes.

I wouldn't call Terry fragile. Up until he broke a bone he hadn't missed a minute. Plus his recovery looks to be ahead of schedule. 

[ozzjim]

He picked up a lot of niggles last 2 seasons at Chelsea.

[ozzjim]

Yes.

Many reports today suggest United can recall him in Jan.

[SoccerHQ]

Only see one striker coming in. Would be amazed if it's two and that would surely mean Hogan being moved on which I wouldn't be against as it's obviously not going to happen here for him.
