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

[ozzjim]

Hayden is a decent player at this level. Good age too. Would be a good signing I reckon.

Mings, if it is loan to buy we are not losing much and have then got ample cover on the left side of the defence. Think he and Hause might be a bit different to Taylor and Chester if we can get them both fit, plus give Chester a break.

Cahill will end up at Arsenal I reckon.

The Luton lad that has been linked would be worth doing. I'd be tempted to send them Bree and tell them to get his confidence back while we are at it.

Just seen a triple link to Fulham : Stefan Johansen, Floyd Ayite and Neeskens Kebano - they all played in the season they went up so they can pass and run, which is a step up on some of our lot. Hopefully we'll get another couple in at least.

Johansen is good

Has Mings got pace? If we're using him as a flanker he'll need a bit of rocket fuel to go with his strength and niggly-bastardism.

Think that is a good point Eamonn.  The better modern full-backs are almost like traditional wingers in that they are often in an 1 v 1 situation out wide and are able to beat players in the opposition half.  I've noticed over the past few months, that whenever our full-backs are in a 1 v 1 situation in the opposition half, they often don't even attempt to take on the defender and instead turn back, stopping all attacking momentum.   

My reliable source says he has no pace of note. He’s 6’ 5” though and plays left back or centre back. Mid 20’s also fits our new criteria . I think he’ll be a great addition esp on loan with view to buy. With pace in front of him I don’t see that he has to continually overlap and run full length every 5 mins..... well  worth a go for his benefits I think

She's purdy.

[PeterWithe]

I say.

[DrGonzo]

But can she play left back?

[Dazvillain]

And yet another link to Adidas as well as Purslow and owners, I’d be amazed if they were not involved in our club somehow next year

Anyway , who is our spy at BMH ? All this transfer activity is weighing me down

He might be a reasonable addition in view of his age, but his fitness record would be a concern as well as the number of games he has played - only 53 starts in six and a half years.

I also remember him getting a lengthy ban after a run in with Zlatan.

SSN breaking news we have made Burnley an offer for defender BEN Gibson , loan with view for permanent

[garyshawsknee]

Is he the Boro's owner son ?

Daily Mail saying Mings could happen today.

[JUAN PABLO]

prefer Gibson than Mings

[sickbeggar]

why did Burnley buy him for 15m and then not play him at all? odd.
