Deano’s wishlist - the Jan transfer speculation/guaranteed nonsense thread

[DB]

if we go up that Ramsey’s out of contract at Arsenal looking for a home
he’d be a Smith type of player

Talk about getting ahead of ourselves.
Jan window first.

Seen rumours linking him to Juventus.  Not sure we can compete at that level just yet!!

[JJ-AV]

We do need 3/4 imo. GK and a LB, a CB for cover and still a CM as I’m not sure we’ve got a natural balance in there.

Heaton, Rico Henry, Gary Cahill (although that drops one of Axel or Chester our of the team) and Bannan maybe?

Perhaps Collins can be an assset an earn himself a deal until the end of the season.

[ROBBO]

Please no talk of Bannan, just not good enough, talk about back to the future.

[TheMalandro]

It’s a good film, but not sure of its relevance here.

If Dean Smith thinks Bannan will improve us then I'm happy with that.  The money quoted seems a bit steep though, I must admit.  I read this morning that Fulham are in for Nathaniel Clyne.  That is possibly the type of signing we could hijack if we've climbed further in January.  Be nice to turn the tables on them as well.

I trust in Dean Smith he's a great man I know he will do what's best for our team no doubt about it so whoever he get's will do the job for us.

[SteveN]

I would prefer Lolly to Bannan.

[eamonn]

You can just about imagine Barry Bannan as Marty Mcfly.

Fulham will be relegated....shame

Looks a very good player but he's not what we need in this window. We should be looking for someone to sit in and set the tempo who can also protect the defence and be a bit of a leader on the pitch.

[PeterWithe]

I can’t see us buying a defensive midfielder with three internationals still on the books in that position.

1, maybe 2 of those players could well be on their way out in January.  2 sets of wages off the books, replaced by 1.  We'd still have 3 options for that position as well.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

I still hope Nick Powell might be in DS`s thinking. For probably 2-3m he would be a great asset to our midfield an upgrade on Hourahane ( I am not knocking him) but feel he has more to offer. As previously mentioned  I think Barbet & Rico Henry although Henry has only just come back from a long term injury could be involved. I feel the DS transfer team have already identified the players they want and have took the steps to seal their moves ….. 

[GordonCowansisthegreatest]

I think that what might be more telling in DS thinking, might be who he moves out during January!
