The January Transfer Window

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Robbie Pethick.

Seems legit.

 

[Sheebo]

Jloyd Samuel and Matt Derbyshire for me....

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Reckon it's the Chinese Trillion Trophy Birmingham lot.

Yes, Villa I hear. Gestede has been linked with West Brom.

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

Even in Spain you're taking a punt. The likes of David Rodriguez - who was sh1t with us - has since bagged 46 goals in 102 appearances for Alcorcon.

Holy shit I'd totally forgotten about him!

 

[perseus]

This is a bit of a shocker: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...retires-football-24-concentrate-religion.html

I penciled him as a player with potential.

This player has lost his way as well: http://www.qpr.co.uk/news/article/2...under-21s-play-off-final-preview-1517848.aspx

Trials

 

[OzMike]

In - No one.
Out - Manu, Lua Lua

 

[junior]

I worry if Murray should get injured, or suspended. We do need another goalscorer in my opinion.

If Murray gets injured we have Hemel.

 

[highflyer]

My boldish guesses:

Out: Manu, Lualua (loan) Stephens (to Burnley for serious money)

In: Tex + one other strker (probably for fairly big money - using Stephens cash - I'll guess Hogan but more probably someone we haven't heard of yet)

We won't replace Stephens directly because Kayal will come back and Chris will put faith in Towell as our 4th midfield option (and will keep Ince around for emergency use).

Towell will get game time towards the end of the season and will be excellent. We will all love him and there will be endless opportunities for the NSC funster punsters to make jokes based on his name

We will draw with Villa on the final day which will be enough to pip Newcastle to the championship title, promotion having already been secured two games earlier.

 

[B.W.]

Only need 1 signing, and that is real competition for Sam B...

I believe Kaz will go, with his recent naughtiness the final straw... maybe Ince too...

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Every OUT will be replaced by an IN as we won't want to reduce the size of the squad below the current 26 players.

We'll learn from last year and all the desperate talk of recalling loans for the play off 2nd leg injury crisis.

OUT Elvis, IN Striker / #10

OUT Ince - we have no choice but to plan for the worst possible case, IN Central Midfielder.

?? OUT LuaLua, IN Striker / Winger / Attack Mid ??

 

[Nixonator]

My boldish guesses:

Out: Manu, Lualua (loan) Stephens (to Burnley for serious money)

Burnley have just signed Barton, their 5th CM with Hendrick also being a recent acquisition.

Scott Hogan developments. Very big bid in. Championship side. Don't think ever been linked with him before.

that'll be Norwich.......but think he'll end up at another Albion !!

Burnley have just signed Barton, their 5th CM with Hendrick also being a recent acquisition.

With 25 man squads in the PL there is also a limit on how many central midfielders they will be able to include.

 

[goldstone]

I think we may see Ulloa back at the Amex, but only as back-up for Murray ... and stronger back-up than Hemed.

 

[Wardy's twin]

that'll be Norwich.......but think he'll end up at another Albion !!

according to teletext its Villa and they will be selling on Gestede to Westbrom.....

 

[James Bond's body double]

Reading & Villa for Hogan 9 Million, another report says.

 

[bhanutz]

that'll be Norwich.......but think he'll end up at another Albion !!

Reading have bid £9 mill for Hogan

Eek.

Baldock is hardly prolific, but he's effective. What we need is some competition for him.

Its pretty rare you'll suddenly bring in someone who'll bag you 10-15 goals between January and the end of the season, those type of players are rarely available. If that's really what you're waiting for, I think you'll end up disappointed. We're on +21 GD, goalscoring isn't really a problem. The squad just needs a little fine-tuning, some decent backup, and this kid would fit the bill IMO.

'hardly prolific,but he's effective' you're having a laugh fella. Effective at what? We need someone someone to compliment Murray, not be 'effective' who runs around a lot but is mostly second to the ball and easily moved off the ball. We don't need some competition for Baldock we need a replacement.

Wise words. Isn't it amazing how Hughton hasn't realised this, and INSISTS on playing this wastrel week-in, week out.

Clueless bloody manager.
