January Transfer Window

[Since1982]

So, assuming that at the end of the month we remain strong promotion candidates and that Solly is unavailable for at least a while and that Bong, Kaz, Baldock and Rosenior are either still out or not yet match fit, who do we think should be on the target list to keep our momentum going through the second half of the season?

My sense is that we might need to focus less on a striker (assuming Wilson stays) and more on the midfield and defence. If we were really able to consider splashing the cash on Calleri then are there more important positions to sort now?

And of course, I'm aware that it is very easy to spend someone else's money!

If Solly is out for a reasonably long time I would think that we will sign Van La Parre and a cover left back possibly letting Chicksen Holla and even possibly Crofts go on transfer or on loan along with JFC.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Calleri.

Van La Parra.

Left back loan to see us through until early Feb when Bong should be back.

Towell already signed.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Calleri.

Van La Parra.

Left back loan to see us through until early Feb when Bong should be back.

Towell already signed.

Totally agree. Hopefully the wheels are well and truly in motion

 

[BensGrandad]

I may be a pessimist but I cant see us signing Calleri unless a Prem club sign him and we have him on loan.

 

[Eeyore]

Fell sorry for our Tony. All this means more spending in January, what with us still running with the pack.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Another player like Rosinour would be great. A utility man who is quality in many positions, for example Boyd.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I may be a pessimist .

No need to go on

 

[Seagulls1984]

I'd sign another winger . Not 100% convinced with Murphy .

First season at this level he's learning all the time...far from the finished article ...good potential and a great cross for Wilsons goal

agree, just seems a tad light weight . We just need to get to Jan and then add a few players .

Funny game isn't it, I feel he always looks a threat plus he knows where the goal is.

I agree. On top of that, he seems to be able to keep going for the full 90 minutes but I must concede, he does occasionally get caught in possession but on the whole I really like him.

Me too. And getting better each week.

 

[Since1982]

I like Murphy a lot but having lost two wingers already this season you'd think that we need JVP plus another to give us the depth we need to get through to the end of the season. A specialist left back is also critical in my view. Even with Bong and Rosenior fit we are vulnerable to further injury or loss of form.

 

[Hampster Gull]

The difficulty is not knowing when we expect the injured back. Stricker and winger for me, oerhaps a holding

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Murphy has been quality for us. Seems to be involved in at least one goal a game. Can't believe anyone isn't convinced by him

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Robust squad coping amazingly well with major, long term injuries to many highly influential players. If we get no one, we could be ok, but if Uncle Tony wants to "belt and braces" our position at the top then:

- Striker (Wilson scored but is still learning his trade. A lot to ask him to score goals for two thirds of a season to get us up)
- Left back cover - we don't know when our options will be back or if they will stay fit.
- Cover for Stephens/Kayal (v Preston we started with Ince/Crofts and look what happened there!) - bound to get a niggle or sending off or a booking ban soon

Im convinced. Others can hop it
