Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

[Richard E]

BBC Sport reported earlier that Giroud will only consider leaving Chelsea for a London club or a club in Europe.

Aston is in Europe.

Only until tomorrow unfortunately

Why? Is Britain moving to Africa?

[Fred Crump]

No need , it’s part of our Empire.

[Brassneck]

Now we have Samatta, Benteke could have a real boosting effect and feel good factor

If we're looking at Samatta being number 1 then someone like Benteke makes sense. Not many of the others would move just to be bench warmers.

However, someone like slimani (my choice) would surely get the nod to start?

[Fred Crump]

Irony doesn’t come across well on line , so just to be clear, I was joking.

[Fred Crump]

As an old romantic , I would love Benteke to come back and get a hatful of goals , but sadly I just don’t think it would happen even if we did go for him..

Partizani Tirana awaits.

Followed by a spell at Barnet.

[villa `cross the mersey]

As a new romantic, we have probably got a better chance of signing Simon Le bon

[clash city rocker]

If we don't get another forward in before the deadline it's very poor. After watching Samatta a target man type to complement him would be decent.

Bowen would have been a cherry on top. Would have added so much but I reckon Smith wants Benrahma and is waiting till the summer.

Hope the summer isnt to late just incase we are in the championship.

Given a straight choice between Davis and Benteke, which it would be, surely you’d go go for Davis.

[Villafirst]

I hope a striker is in by tomorrow as my gut feeling, like it was in August, is we're far too short of striking options. We've had 30 days to sort this and I'm annoyed that this is gambling with our PL survival.

[Villan82]

Bowen is the one I wanted. But we do need one more, regardless

[LeeB]

His clearly had injury problems according to wiki, so could be an uncut diamond

‘The following month, Selke suffered a metatarsal injury in training which was later diagnosed to be a bone-marrow edema, and was ruled out for a number of weeks

In July 2018, Selke suffered a collapsed lung which ruled him out of the start of the 2018–19’

Crikey.

When he gets injured, he does it properly. Collapsed lung?

Great band, Chainsaw Wedgie was ace.

[LeeB]

Regarding Bowen, have I missed something? He's a promising young player in the Championship who's scored a few goals. So was Che adams.The way half the posts are on here have gone on you'd think he was the product of a love tryst between Cruyff and Zidane.

I bet none of you have seen more than about 5 minutes of his total play on Quest.

*sits back, waits for righteous indignation and Mr skillz full scouting report*

[Clampy]

And we might not even be in for him anyway.

I'll stick my neck out and guess a striker and Tuanzebe to make a return.

I doubt we ever were mate. If we were he'd be here now, not looking at shite like Palace and West Ham.
