January transfer window

[New York Red]

Baggsy.

 

I hope we don't just p*ss away a bunch of money on mediocre players (though TBF we've always done well in January). But we do need to strengthen the team dramatically not only to finish in the top six this season, but also to get a jump start on next year.

 

We still need a left back.

We need a real star in the middle of the back four.

We need to get a legitimate strong player to sit in front of the back four.

We need width.

We need 2-3 players for up front.

 

I also think from a psychological standpoint it would be great for us to buy one really good player in January. To really buck up the club (though I have to say that today was quite full of buck). That being the case, I'd like to propose a purchase.

 

Huguain.

As long as Hodgson is not is given a fvckin penny, we should be ok

agree

 

Isn't there a rumour that Kaka might be available?

[robfar1]

Well we need a lot but we wont get much of it in Jan with a thin market and inflated prices...I do think they'll try and make a bit of a statement with one, maybe two high profile signings but then again that depends on who is available.

[floyd]

agree

only plays for people with 36 years experience.So Roy's 35 just falls short

[Cam]

I'd be quite happy for a negative net spend.

 

Sure, it would see us continue to struggle but if NESV take £30m out of the club in January it may just be enough to give Hick's heart it's final beat.

 

laundering money from the club is the best way forward!

Whilst at the moment I don't disagree, if he's still here come Jan 1st it will be because he's turned things around. If that's the case then it's a different story.

Hard evidence is proving that he won't be here come the end of October. Even Grabiner couldn't defend that

[Walrus]

Roy's wishlist (can't say where I got this from, but I'll let you know on Feb 2 when it will have played out):

 

1) John Jensen

2) Martin Dahlin

3) Jan Aage Fjortoft

4) Jari Litmanen

5) Thomas Brolin

6) Aaron Hughes

7) Jostein Flo

8) Kevin Davies

9) Danny Murphy

10) Peter Smeichel

Oh transfer threads. How I've missed you...

 

I can't think of who we should get. Other than Higuain, Diego and Garay of course...

Under a PROPER manager

 

Jansen, Dzeko and Michel Bastos.

[Sion]

I'll just be happy if the money we supposedly had at the end of the last window for a striker reappears to sign said striker. Don't trust Roy to make any important and long lasting players.

is that coz football only exists in your head, and you have no interest whatsoever in actual matches?

[New York Red]

LB -- Taiwo

CB -- Cahill (not a star I know, but there's not much out there)

DM -- Lass

LM/RM -- Young

F -- Higuain, Bent

Correct. You got me John.

Where we getting the £100m for them lot?

There are plenty of decent CB's 'out there' BTW. Whatever that means

[Frosty Jack]

agree

Going to Inter according to media here

[Epic Swindle]

My prioritys would be a big dominant CB, a LB, striker and a CM. Not sure about any names - I quite like Defour.

 

Longer term we need to sort out the wide positions once and for all with some quality,

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

Correct. You got me John.

 

yeah, thought as much.

[Billy Talbot]

We still need the players we needed in the summer, the replacements for those that left in the summer and we need to get rid of the players we signed in the summer.

 

For that - Hodgson needs sacking alone. Not to mention 6 points in 7 games and the bulls*** he's come out with about protests and understaffing.

 

There's not one single positive about his tenure so far. Not a jot. Even the books he likes are f***ing s****.

 

 

I agree we need a really dominant CB - I'm not that sure about Cahill. Cahill and a really dominant centre back I'd be really happy with - I see him as a really top class lieutenant for a big lad with a bit of pace and a brain. Lucio would have been perfect 3 years ago.

Fckin Rafa, Hodgson would get far more out of Kaka

Kaka happy to play for a manager sacked by us for The Hodge? who'da thunk it?!

[FirstDescent]

first off we need two proper wingers IMO, if you got wingers with pace, ball control and some intelligence it makes life so much easier for you. The opposing team will be worried about you on the counter attack, often they wont push up as high and when we attack we get to stretch the field, allowing more space for those in the middle.

 

Id like us to sign Young and either Mata, Soldado, Hernandes.

[digs_nz]

Wide player Turan, DM Lass, Benzema (?) might be on a cheap. Also saw something about Lopez, would love that.

 

Aly Cissohko is class isn't he?

What you say above probally makes sense but they are not the tactics of a certain Roy Hodgson.
