January Transfer Window

[Richard E]

I thought Grabban played very well against us the other week and he has scored a decent number of goals in an absolutely toss side.

[auntiesledd]

Best left back we have got, don't sell. Concentrates more there and generally looks better.

Anyone see the rumours that Grabban is going to be 8-10 million with 50k a week plus wages! Whoever gets him, I hope it is not us.

Grabban's been extracting the urine for as long as I can remember. He ought to have beeen known as Money in the various dressing rooms he's 'graced' with his presence.

[PeterWithe]

Naismith is available on loan, always liked him at Everton and in the early days at Norwich. Only on 10k a week alledgedly so could be a good short term fix up front?

Always reminds me of Andy Weimann, hard working player but limited prospect of scoring any goals.

[Damo70]

I like Naismith but he is a midfielder with a decent goalscoring record when we need an out and out striker. As for Hutton, there is no way we should let him leave in January.

I watched the Bristol game again over the weekend. Hutton's performance was outstanding & funny.

Outstanding because of the great runs, tackles & passes he made. Plus his work rate the whole game was sensational. 

The funny bit being their number 8 "accidentally" stepped on/over him after a challenge and made Alan look a little silly. Alan doesn't like being stepped on and 2 mins later the number 8 is on the deck getting treatment after Alan Hutton "accidentally" blasted the ball into his face

No we shouldn't sell Alan Hutton. He really has come into his own this season.

In my opinion Wolves seem to have got it right with their recruiting from players to manager and coaches where as we still appear to be floundering about as can be seen by some of the players we have and the manager and coaches!

[old man villa fan]

Was it just coincidence that the issue of FFP came up at the end of last season just as Bruce was looking at overhauling the squad again. I do wonder  after last January if they trust Bruce with major expenditure.

Thanks for that, Sherlock.

Wolves took a calculated gamble this season and, as it appears odds on that they will go up, it worked. Failure to get promotion and they would be looking at a similar situation to us in the future.

Agreed, but arguably  the best signing Wolves made was that of ´Super Agent´ Jorge Mendes, however , it has been said that  he is using Wolves as a shop window for some of his players to prove themselves in the English game before being tempted away by the Premier League's millions. If Wolves fans believe that a lot of these  players won´t jump ship the moment a ´bigger´Club comes in for them then they are living in Cuckoo Land.
It is no secret that Wolves are sailing very close to the winds re FFP and Conflict of Interest issues, specifically  regarding Mendes involvement in the selection of Transfer targets. They ( Wolves ) say he  is not in charge of recruitment, because "that is against the Rules ", yeah...right!...........................Godzvilla!

True. But isn't that the case for all clubs except the ones at the top of the food chain? Any player at a club like ours, Wolves etc will go if a Man City come calling, even if they have signed a 4 year contract.

It is but I think the difference is that Wolves have signed a number of players with obvious CL ambitions, that is highly unusual for a club in this division.

Iheanacho at Leicester and Mitrovic at Newcastle are both supposedly available. It would be interesting to see if either could be tempted by a 5 month loan deal.

I thought the same with regards to Iheanacho. Then read that he's on £135k a week!

If that is true then no wonder his motivation has slipped since going from City to Leicester

game has gone mental
