January Transfer Window

Word on the Tweet is that said midfielder is Wigan's Nick Powell.

I have a mate who is a Crewe season ticket holder and when he first broke through they thought he was going to be their next big thing. He got a move to Manu but his career appears to have stalled so not sure what he would offer now.

I think he was in the same Crewe side as Ashley Westwood.

Please Doc, don't give this manager another penny.

so Liverpool payed more for one player than Tony did for Aston Villa, the club all the players plus fixtures and fittings put together

This demonstrates the financial chasm between us and the top of the PL and how getting relegated when we did was a disaster financially.

It demonstrates the chasm between 5-6 very rich clubs and the rest.
And, it shows how lazy managers with money get when it comes to finding the talented players. Managers on a tight budget spend it more carefully and seek the up-and-coming players rather than those at the height of their powers.
Which is what we will have to do; meaning that - on another criterion - this current manager is not the right guy for the job.
And, Round and Wyness better start getting the scouting system and the Academy sorted out.

To be fair, if you look at the U23 side, we seem to have a pretty good crop of youngsters at the club.  Unfortunately, I don't see Bruce as the kind of manager who will be able to incorporate those players and maximise their transition into fully fledged first team players.

Well O'Hare can't even get on the bench, Bruce is not the manager to incorporate in to any kind of engine.

The lad from Swansea that we were lining up came off the bench for them today, and was given man of the match by the beeb for the impact he had as they came back to win.

On the bench today.

[ozzjim]

Yeah Mcburnie looks a decent player in fairness to him.

[ozzjim]

Anyone else a little concerned about the prospect of losing Johnstone in Jan?

[sickbeggar]

Is that likely? Haven't seen anything in the press.

[mr underhill]

more than one report today suggesting Yanited have agreed a fee with West Brom

[sickbeggar]

He'd be daft to go there currently. Will have better options in the summer i would have thought.

In the Star, apparently. Can’t see him going there unless we haven’t the cash to complete the deal.

What's he want to go and be second fiddle for at a club who will be innthis division next season?

If true, then it poses some serious questions.

My view, its not.
