Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

I have just been looking at the most prolific Championship scorers this season based on minutes per goal.

Lyle Taylor Charlton
Macauley Bonne Charlton
Tom Bradshaw Millwall

Apparently Charlton's owners are looking to cash in on Taylor. I doubt Charlton or Millwall could afford to turn down a big bid for Bonne or Bradshaw either.

Sheffield Wednesday, West Brom and Rangers are all interested in Lyle Taylor apparently.

Day 9, and still no new striker in. Plenty of interest in Kodjia and Hogan moving on. This is proving difficult which stems back to last August when the decision was taken not to sign another striker.....

You're not going to panic all month like you did in the summer when we went two whole days without signing anyone and we ended up with 12 players? Relax.

In fairness we're playing games without any strikers.  We can't really afford to relax and wait until the end of Jan, it may be too late then.

We've played one so far. I'm sure they are trying, so it may not be the end of January when they come in. And I said fans should relax, not the club.

Tosun did okay when he first signed in the Jan window a couple of years ago, since then, not so much.

Despite which, Lansbury gets a game. However you look at it our recruitment or coaching is a bit tom tit.

I'm not a fan either but Lansbury getting game time is down to Smith. If he didn't rate him, he'd have let him go by now.

Someone I spoke to today reckons his daughter is going out with Joe Lolley's golf partner.
Lolley was withdrawn from the forest squad over the weekend and told is was because of an imminent move (to Villa I'm guessing)

that's not an ITK...just some idle gossip I picked up from an engineer today. 

Twatter has Kodjia to forest rumours all over it today.
Lolley incoming in exchange???

[ozzjim]

He's another one with no pace. Good footballer, but our forward line is so slow it's painful.

and whilst playing games with no striker we are undefeated

I didn't realise Lolley had a few games with Huddersfield in the premier league.

AV Agent on Twitter who has got more right than wrong and doesn’t generally state stuff without some degree of caution suggesting that Suso is in Romania wrapping up a deal. Let’s see if this one is true.

Hoping like in Jurassic Park he has taking Hagi’s DNA and made a new Gheorghe Hagi

If it turned out to be Hagi's son, it would be some coup. The lad's looked quality when I've seen him.

He'd be a fantastic signing but Suso would have be in Belgium to be signing him.

Maybe it’s Dennis Man? Young winger linked to Birmingham City but I imagine the journalist may have got mixed up....especially as he’ll cost 8-10m and they don’t have a pot to piss in.

Not seen him play, but as long as he can cross the ball he’ll be infinitely better than “Trezeguet”

If he simply breathes, he's infinitely better than Trezeguet.
