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

[VinnieChase84]

Played left all season for Vale hasn't he?

Don't know to be honest mate.  I always thought the verdict was that he was a centre half by trade, but was a bit on the small side so played full-back.  Naturally right footed but, could cover on the left.

May have got that wrong though.

He is right footed but has featured at left back mostly for Vale

From what I've seen he's pretty 2 footed and is comfortable on either side, could probably slot in as a defensive midfielder as well.

Our Declan Rice maybe?

Anyone know what is actually going on with Jedinak? Doesn’t even get mentioned by DS anymore or seen in any official training photos etc

I think all we can hope for this January is the beginning building blocks of a Smith team with one or two additions.
Realistically, until there’s a clear out of the dead wood (jedinak, Whelan, Hutton, Richards to name a few) we will be hamstrung financially. When those 4 leave in the summer it’ll free up about £160k a week!
It’s disappointing as I think we all hoped we’d be flying still with the hope of further January additions to mean we blow the league away in the second half of the season as we push on for playoffs/automatics but sadly I think it’s a slow burning work in progress

Links to players gone cold. Would imagine we'll be active on the last day as always but I'd have liked a decent player or two in for Hull. We need to win that game after all.

It's just like groundhog day.

Still no left back in - how many years have we been trying to solve this problem?  Underwhelmed so far. No chance of play-offs as it stands....

Since Bouma got injured?!

[Steve67]

All rather quiet on the transfer front.  I wonder if they have given up? Hibernating, along with Jedinak.

[Toronto Villa]

Rumour of Micah Richards to Celtic. I’ll be delighted if it’s true to see the back of him and in equal measure massively fucked off if he gets there and plays well knowing he could have done so for us at a time of great need either as a CB or RB.

[Steve67]

It must be a piss take, surely.

I can’t help thinking that Jedinaks Villa career has been  all about getting him on the pitch for Australia.
He has had  virtually no influence or impact for us due to his continued unavailability.
A complete waste of space.

[Risso]

massively fucked off if he gets there and plays well

I don't think you're going to be massively fucked off somehow.

[PeterWithe]

He’s not fit enough to play for anyone.
