Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

I see Gregg Evans is still getting his information from this website then!  Any one of us could have written that article.

He hasn't been copying my posts, the twat. No mention of Bono being a cock.

No mention of the old commie manifesto either!

Get in two or three Scotsmen. We need backbone.

You mean similar to their national team?

[TelfordVilla]

We really need a wide player to cross the ball to our Centre forward.

what is the point of crossing to a centre forward who 1/ cant head the ball  2/ doesnt get in the box 3/ doesn't get in front of the centre half ?

There was something on Insta yesterday about players who should be looking to move from their current Serie A clubs. One name who was on there was Berisha, from memory he was the bloke who caused England all kinds of problems in the game in Southampton.
A bit of research suggests he actually had a trial when he was younger with us but currently cannot get into a very strong Lazio team that are 3rd in the league. Wide player / striker so would give competition to our current crop.

I think you did not pick up on my sarcasm, exactly this.

Get Bowen , Ollie Watkins , a midfielder and a striker, any striker except Wes and who knows, we MAY scrape 17th.

I said in the summer, looks like we were building a decent ch-ship side will the signings. Looks that way more the season goes on, only Jack and Heaton are quality PL players. Hopefully we can buy to keep us up.

Agree with that. AEG and Trezeguet showed beyond doubt that they aren’t good enough today. Need to spend money undoing mistakes in January on top of the money we need to spend on the gaping holes.

A whole new forward line and a couple of midfielders to compliment Jack. Wes, Trez, AEG, Marv and Luiz simply aren’t good enough I’m afraid.

Our summer recruitment is looking worse and worse by the week. Major questions of Suso need to be asked.

[KRS]

Absolutely agree. Targett is proper shite too.

[KevinGage]

The transfer policy last summer made sense - and can still bear fruit. 

I haven't written Marvellous or Luiz off, even if they are still adapting.

But Heaton shows the value of veering away from being too dogmatic about younger players with resale value. 

For that reason, I'd look at Joe Allen at Stoke.  A PL midfielder playing currently Championship football.  Someone who will get on the ball and take responsibility. Providing Stoke aren't looking mental money, it's a deal that would make sense.

Up top we probably don't have the money to lavish £20-30 million on a forward, but a judicious loan of striker outside the madhouse of English football might see is through.  Unless we are able to offload Kalinac, Kojdia etc for reasonable fees.

[KevinGage]

As McInally's weird 'team of the decade' shows, we have been bedevilled by below average left backs for the past 10 years as well.

Targett isn't doing a whole pile to indicate he's a vast upgrade on the rest, so if there was a leftback with a turn of pace and is generally more of an athlete than either him or Taylor, we need to pony up.   

[ChicagoLion]

Becoming more convinced that the critical player is a central midfielder.
Obviously we need a forward but we again showed how easy it is to create chances against us today.

[CT Villan]

Probably a long shot, but maybe we can loan Ryan Sessegnon from Spurs to temporarily solve our left back problem.
