Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

I think I read on a palace site that woy would let whickham go - but he’s injured as well isn’t he? God I hope there’s a rabbit up someone’s sleeve and they’re sharpish about pulling it out.

Wickham is on their bench today.

Rumours about interest in Gayle.Along with Roofe and Grabban,dubious Premier League quality,but .Roofe and Grabban would be better in the air, than Wesley,we do put some decent crosses in.Gayle chases everything ,unfortunately he's not a big unit so Bruce doesn't know what to do with him.
Any of those 3 would also pounce on loose balls in the box more than Wesley.None of them would excite us but any one of the 3 would be an upgrade on pre-injury Wesley.

Dwight Gayle is a Championship player.

[KevinGage]

Roofe and/or Grabban are definitely not good enough for the Premier League.

Grabban has already scored 14 goals in the Championship this season.

A finisher is a finisher.  He might not be as prolific in the top flight, but even if he weighed in with seven to eight goals, that could be invaluable for us. There's more to his game as well as goals too, unlike a Bent/ Hogan (ha!) type.

And - should the worst happen - we'd have a striker oven ready and capable of bagging 20-odd goals in the league below.

He'll do until we can persuade Neymar or Gary Penrice to join.

I've always liked Dwight Gayle. I thought he was immense for Smethwick in the first leg of the play off's at Villa Park. Not sure how he would fit into our system though.

In fairness, I don't think the club saw two long term injuries happening on the same day.

It’s a bit over the top as well. January is always a nightmare to get decent players in.

Is it me or do the Birmingham Mail seem to get even worse over time with their shit stirring, click bait non-story bullshit. I purposely don't click on any of their shit but i see the 'stories' come up listed when you google search us.

Same here though apart from that game I haven't seen much of him. What I do remember was he ripped holes in our defence and was a constant pain in the arse.

I’m surprised they’re still in business.

This thread is testament to how difficult the January window is.

- "We haven't got a fit striker. Our midfield is shocking. We need bodies, numbers."

- "XXX and YYY have been linked"

- "They're shit. Championship at best. We need proven premier league quality."

- "YYY has won the premier league."

- "It was a fluke, four years ago."
