Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

Benni McCarthy- 5m from Celta Vigo. You heard it here first.

A 42-year-old manager to play upfront, thinking outside the box for sure if we do that.

Same age as Emile Heskey.

Any chance we can put a stop to his constant double/treble/quadruple posting?

Reminds me of footy skills in how they think they are god gift to heroes and villains!

Point 1. Anyone can edit a wiki! It is not a reliable soice of information, for example about a week ago it said bats played for us.

Point 2. What he did in the premier league is irrelivant when his last appearance in it was about 6 years ago!

Point 3. Stop multi posting, I people want to come on here and read thoughts opinions and gossip! I'm sure noone wants to read an entire page of waffle by the same person! It's bad form to do it over and over as you currently do.

Vill I An is/was footyskillz as well as brice jovial.

Its admirable the love in for Nyland but there are short memories and far to easily swayed .
Nyland no top keeper and to bank on him being the man to keep us up clearly won't be the case by the coaches .

Nyland did indeed look like a car crash last season. However, in front of a new, balanced defence and - presumably - thanks to Cutler's input, he has begun to look like a top class keeper; not just in one game but in several. Your lack of appreciation for that growth in form is disrespectable, frankly (it mirrors your obsessive dislike of Wesley, some of your previous comments about whom were also highly disrespectful).
We're all entitled to our opinions but you often present yours as irrefutable facts; and this is neither easy to read nor fair to other posters.In my opinion.

I was accurate about Wesley ability
And I feel i'll be accurate about Nyland.
Probable errors 2mrw against Man city unfortunately as well as observing a meekness and lack of commanding than has been noted by coaches.
I see them as limited footballers for premier league level.
I will take on board how I write and look to be more clear in point , make it simply and with fair and not rude comment.
Thank you for pointing out .
I won't comment again till Reina makes his debut.
Give everyone a break.

And do spare us your self important flouncing off "I'm on a break until...." posts.  You never keep to them, unfortunately.

Nyland deserves his chance.

Aleksandar Mitrovic: Fulham striker's injury 'doesn't look great', says Scott Parker

Mitrovic not going anywhere anyway.

From BBC Sport:

"Aston Villa and Newcastle United are keen on a January move for Le Havre forward Tino Kadewere, with Norwich City and Tottenham also interested in the 24-year-old Zimbabwe striker. (Football Insider)"

Hope he minds the windows.

Nyland deserves his chance.

So does Vill I An.

[KRS]

Most of our summer transfer business was completed under the radar of the media, so there’s a fair chance that we may be working on deals that the media haven’t even got a sniff of yet.

According to Alan Nixon of The Sun (not posting a link for obvious reasons!), Chelsea have quoted £45m to us and Palace if we want Batshuayi.

That'd be a "no thanks" then I reckon.

[Dante Lavelli]

Surely we can loan in a striker?

That's the part I don't get. We could sign one for 20m + but ultimately any decent one will want a relegation clause inserted and they'd be off for a similar amount (can recall Demba Ba signing for West Ham in same window we got Darren Bent. He scored a few for them but ultimately they went down and he left. Remy was the same at QPR).

Better to me to get in one for six months, hopefully they're good and then we sign them for the required amount in the summer.

I was going to mention Batsuyhai again given Palace have signed Tosun now but the Drinkwater loan has probably scuppered that.

This would be my preference too.  At best we are looking at the £20m price bracket (pure guess) which really doesn’t buy much nowadays when you consider Haller and Almeriron cost north of £40m.  The point being anyone we sign will be a significant FFP burden whilst not guaranteeing any return.

A loan mitigates against that and may mean we can attract a better quality player, Batsuyhai (bad example for obvious reasons) would cost, I reckon, £30m when he eventually leaves Chelsea which is probably more than we could afford as a signing.

 It sure where the rumours have come from that we’re not going to get a striker. If we do that it’s premier league suicide.

Can just about handle us now having one for the City game, but we desperately need one after that looking at the fixtures. And I haven’t got a clue what the best options are.

Looks and plays a bit like Tammy. £15m might be worth a punt but I thought we had already got Zimbabwe’s best player?!?
