5 players who should be on Chris Hughton’s January wishlist
http://footballleagueworld.co.uk/5-players-who-should-be-on-chris-hughtons-january-wishlist/2/

Joao Carlos Teixeira

James Wilson

Simone Benedetti

Andrej Kramaric

Yann Kermorgant

Picked the names out of a hat it seems. The last one is an interesting suggestion.

The first four I would rule out straight away.

 

[atomised]

I'd consider the first 2.

 

[Rugrat]

Apart from the Italian who I've never heard of, they would all be decent options. Really surprised Kermorgrant isn't getting game time at B'muff, he was blinding last season

Yes it does seem strange not giving him game time when they can't score to save themselves.

 

[Waynflete]

The fact he doesn't seem to be aware that we have Huenemeier makes me mistrust his knowledge generally.

 

[Colossal Squid]

Even though Greer and Dunk are regular fixtures at the back, they lack serious strength in depth, and if one of them becomes injured, they will need to sign a backup and Benedetti would not be too expensive.

Er, it's probably the position we're least lacking in.

Left back yes, perhaps a spare winger, and certainly at least one striker. But we're not in the market for another CB

 

[Grombleton]

Would take Tex back, and Kermorgant would be handy too.

Not sure why we would want Kramaric, who hasn't exactly set the league alight...and they've got Ulloa, i'd prefer him back.

 

[BensGrandad]

Apparently we offered a double deal for Stephens and Kemognant in the January 2014 window but for whatever reason he went Bournemouth and we only got Stephens. So would the club want him now,2n bite at the cherry, although the management and recruitment has changed Think he would score goals but very similar to Hemed in his play and not the 'fox in the box' we need.

 

[halbpro]

I'd be very surprised if we get Tex back, unless something happens with LFC transfers.

James Wilson has been mentioned before so I wouldn't rule him out just yet.

 

[NooBHA]

Chris has such a wide scouting network that there are several already being targeted so restricting it to 5 is pointless. He pinpoints the areas that needs strengthening and then sets out a list of potentials - Then the problems begin with availability and cost and thats when it gets more difficult.

By the way I don't think Teixeiro is an option - I know fans would love him back and although he is a great player in the making, we were comparing him to the players in a bad side last year. I think the amount he would cost, wouldn't be value for money. Many will say if he gets you to the Premiership it is worth it but if you don't go up you are stuck with an extremely expensive Championship player on your hands.

Thats the type of player which relegated premiership clubs look to offload when they get relegated to the Championship. There are a lot of less financial risk options available. The only problem being, there are about 12 clubs after the same type players

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

The fact he doesn't seem to be aware that we have Huenemeier makes me mistrust his knowledge generally.

Yes me too. I think that these may simply be five names he has picked out of the air to make a good news story.

Texeira he may see as a safe bet considering he was with us last season, and some of the other players have been linked with us recently too.

In any case, as far as permanent moves are concerned, we all know how difficult it is to entice other clubs to sell to us in the January window.

I'd be very very surprised if any of them came off, this side of the August window anyway.

If, and I still say that it's a gigantic IF, Teixeira does return, it will only be on another loan deal until the end of the season, maybe with a view to signing him permanantly if we acheive promotion.

 

[inland seagull]

I think that Tom Bradshaw of Walsall is worth looking at, perhaps some might say he's a little on the small side but he is quick and gets lots of goals.

 

[BensGrandad]

Reuben Reid at Plymouth 27 years old 265 gaames 94 goals? Going out of contraact soon.

Hopefully we aren't shopping at Aldi any more.

 

[Black Rod]

Where does Teixeira fit into a side that doesn't play with a number ten any more?

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Your suggestions are actually getting worse.

He's actually scored 94 goals in 341 games (in all competitions). His league record is 81 goals in 294 games, a career average of a goal every 3.6 games. Looking at his record he's only ever been prolific in League 2. He's played 27 games at Championship level and never scored, his League 1 record is 14 goals in 76 games. He's 27 and his record speaks for itself, not in a good way either, I doubt he's on the radar of any club looking to challenge at the top end of the Championship.

It was really a question of whether he could make make the step up . I am asking as I do not know much about him. As regards shopping at Aldi we have shopped at Waitrose for CMS and Baldock and neither have proved the goalscoring answer and many clubs have bought lower who have hit it off, sp why cant we?

So were mine, so I don't know how you got him only playing 265 games. He's played more than that in the League alone, 219 starts and 75 sub appearances.
