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

[Lastfootstamper]

More reports on Twitter that we are signing the young midfielder Colkett on loan from Chelsea.

With a view to it being permanent?  We must be sending someone else back to their club if we have Hause, El Ghazi, Bolasie, Tammy and Axel already?

We can name 5 in an 18. We'll find a way.

Not sure about this Colkett, hasn't done anything anywhere and hasn't played much football in a year.

That could be said about a lot of kids at Chelsea. They rarely ever bring their youngsters through. Not sure what to make of him. He’s young, tidy with the ball, left footed and likes to get forward. We need to start getting players in withit blowing the bank and live a little more frugally. I don’t mind Smith building us like Brentford but having the option of spending a bit more where needed for proper quality.

The Sky Transfer Centre has us linked with Harry Arter of Bournemouth.  Mirror and People linking us with Charlie Colkett now too. Let's hope for some transfer action this week.

Other than that, how much do you know about him not to be sure?

He was on loan at Shrewsbury, who are a poor side. He only managed one first team appearance.

Cherries ST holders just told me that it’s just been announced there is no recall option for arter to them so won’t happen

Just going off not playing much for a year and not getting in to the Shrewsbury side. I have never seen him play but the worry is if he can't shine for Shrewsbury then he isn't going to be a saviour in front of our shambolic defense. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Shame.  Imagine the bad jokes on here about a player named Arter.  And Limericks.  There was a young man named Arter.....

There was a young Cherry named Arter
To get him we just had to barter
Micah Richards and Ross
A defence made of dross
And Jedinak wearing a garter

Excellent!

Very good!

He isn't really young though, recently notched up 29 years according to Wiki.

That Colkett really has some quality on the ball, lovely range of pass and vision. Think he could do the biz at this level no problem.

Surely if we are going to go down the loan route again, then we need to bring someone in who us ready to play in the first team from the off.  We desperately need another option at CB, yet we bring in Hause from Wolves who is seemingly nowhere near match ready and is warming the bench while the defence is a calamity.

Anybody with a 2 at the beginning of their age is young.
