Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Borja Baston from Swansea according to Welsh media on Twitter

I’d rather sign his brother, Marco van.

The limitations of FFP arricifically handicapping our spending for January.

Its got to be playing a part surely.

Can we bring anyone in on loan now? The article the link is from (Wales Online) suggests we can't.

Swansea are going to want to recoup most of the £15m (!) they spent on this donkey, so if breaching Financial Fair Play regulations is an issue, I'd rate chances of this happening to be very small indeed.

[Matt C]

On his way for a medical apparently.

We can do two domestic loans.

They're talking bollocks. We can.

Oh ok - well Borja's better than nothing. Talk about scraping the barrel!

[hilts_coolerking]

That's the crucial point though: signing him is better than signing no-one.

I guess we needed a third option behind Samatta and Davies . I think that's all

Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

He's a tall fella - we could do with someone holdng the ball up and making it stick so Grealish and Targett can get hold of the ball and do their double act. Not sure Samatta can do that role.

[Malandro]

On his way.

[Risso]

Well, Baston will be better than nothing, just, but a Spanish player not good enough to get into a Championship side, haven't we just failed in that approach with Jota?

Keinan did it ok too

[Toronto Villa]

Obligatory YouTube vids. At least he can head a ball and take a penno.

[Lastfootstamper]

Even though neither Samatta nor Davis scored, I think we're all largely in agreement that we look better with a real live centre-forward than a makeshift one. Samatta, Davis, new bloke. Our cup runneth over compared to up until Tuesday gone.
