Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

[Nii Lamptey]

Yep, Bowen is the biggest disappointment of the window for me. A solid signing who would have actually improved us, rather than just make up the numbers.
I reckon we could have got him too, with his family's links to the Villa. Gutted if he ends up working for the Porno Dwarf! 

[The Edge]

For someone who cost Swansea 15.5 million  pounds when he signed from  Athletico Madrid
3 years ago, and is costing us basically nada,Borja could yet prove to be a bargain.
, his record of 92 goals in 279 games ain't too ducking fusty .Golden Boot winner in the Under 17            World Cup a few years back, is  also on his resume. He's not the 'star; striker we
 were hoping for butwe should give the guy a chance, after all, with the ' Russian' off to Darby on loan  he will probably spend a lot of time on the bench , who knows, he would'nt be the first BARGAIN buy to surprise us all( see Mings.T and Ny;land.O )   ood luck  to you ' Edge'............Godzvilla!!

What did i do?

I said the same when Maupay went to Brighton : have to assume if we wanted him we'd have been in strongly for him. I think FFP is playing a huge part this window. We've done enough to stay up I think, hope the summer will be a different kettle of fish

[PaulWinch again]

Oh as an aside I fucking hate the term “Done Deal”

[itmustbe_it is!]

If we assume that Baston wasnt our first choice, at least we recognised we needed a (back up) striker and got one before the window shut, once our other options (FFP limited ) were off the table. Could be worse

[Nii Lamptey]

Nzonzi has joined Rennes on loan for rest of season. He's another one we missed out on.

Bowen has passed medical at the Hammers and off to meet Moyes - Gutted. If we'd got these two in, we'd be looking up that league instead of over our shoulders. 

[Jon Crofts]

West Ham are still going down, Bowen or not.

[KevinGage]

If God is good. 

Everton too, hopefully.

[Fasth56]

on talkshite I know, he's going to be on £50 - £60K a week but a big relegation clause included where it drops considerably.

It could be worse. It could have been "Dunne Deal".

[GarTomas]

For me although we maybe underwhelmed with who we’ve brought in I’ve not seen many deals done for players who I think we should of been in for.

Which suggests the players we want aren’t available and we’ve taken a short term view to try and bolster the squad for the season.

[Brazilian Villain]

West Ham are still going down, Bowen or not.

I agree, if they don't beat Brighton tomorrow they've a horrendous couple of months of fixtures coming up. Also they've signed players for the top half rather than a relegation battle.

Baston?  Is he as good as RHM or Kodjia?  Smacks of complete and utter desperation.  Where is the quality in our dealings this winter window? Cack.  I hope it works but fuck sake, gaping hole in midfield, right central defence is vulnerable, Ally is completely untested.

[LukeJames]

I couldnt care less about Bowen going to Westham. Like Maupay in the summer, the only annoying thing about it is that this sites now going to be littered with updates every time he so much as farts.

We don’t know the answer yet but RHM was in and out of Tranmere’s team who are struggling in division 1 and Kodja looked poor to me on the few occasions he featured in the league. With any luck we won’t be seeing too much of our third choice striker anyway in these last 14 league games.
