Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

The fella playing for Norwich on their right wing is good. He tore Targett a new one today. Maybe a Bid?

Sadly that’s no judgement of quality

Cantwell is a great player, got a bit of Stevie G about him.

Come on, moderators. Surely this isn't acceptable?

Norwich are a good team with many good players, as are Watford,  West Ham, Southampton, Bournemouth and Brighton.

Some of us are living in the past. No deadbeats in the PL now.

Cantwell is their Jack, local lad, lifelong fan and been at the club since he was a nipper. Zero chance he's joining us in Jan.

Allen, Benrahma and Batshuayi would be good.

[mr underhill]

 We weren't prepared to be held to ransom by Brentford in the summer for Benrahma in the summer and certainly;y won't pay an even more inflated fee for him in January, particularly with them flying high in the Chumps. Allen is possible I suppose, Batman a definite no. The latest seems to be a CF and a wide man, both from abroad, or if push comes to shove a forward who can play wide or centrally.

For what it's worth the guy who sits on the end of my row (two to my left) is mates with Dean Smith's next door neighbour (yeah I know).
And he reckons we've done a deal to sign Olivier Giroud on loan.

If true, a decent deal as Wesley would have someone to learn from.

I mean their right back Aarons.

I'm not keen on Giroud. We already have a non-scoring forward.

The thing is, Giroud can score goals but I do tend to agree with you.  I think he ticks the experienced box far more than the prolific box.  We need to bring in three or four with nous, gritty determination from which others can learn.

[Brassneck]

Not mad on Giroud but what is a realistic alternative in January?  I'd guess that we don't have the money to lay out on another £20m+ striker so it's either a punt on a cut price European striker or a loan deal.

For me, Giroud is an improvement and may help create more for others as well.

We somehow have to crawl over the line this season and spend big again in the summer.

[Lastfootstamper]

Giroud has scored a gabbyesque 9 in his last 61 over two and a half seasons. Fuck me, we need much, much better than that.
Edit: sorry, forgot to include the 5 assists over the same period.
