The January Transfer Window

[BurgerNips]

What's your financial situation at the moment? Given the inflated prices being bandied about, will you strengthen with permanent signings who can pass muster in the top flight?

lol

I like where you're heading but id prefer Hogan, both valued at the same price.

I'm not sure you know where I'm heading.

Currently available for a mere £15 million

Irrelevant for my purposes

if we were going to spend big, I think our PERFECT signing would be Abel Hernandez, I think he's a class player and proven in the championship and also some in the prem, but I know how far off I am.

In the summer if we get promoted (and Hull get relegated), then yes. The other players from potentially relegated clubs I'd like would include Defoe, Robertson and Sigurdsson. But I might just be getting ahead of myself. For the moment, a young PL striker is probably what we need, or Robbie Keane.

Where exactly are you heading then?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

maybe you've already seen this, but NOONE knows, the club is very low-key with everything

Given the tight ship that we are currently running, there is no way they are going to leak such sensitive information to a former player - particularly one at a club in our division. What were you THINKING?

Unsettle a rival's striker. That's pretty much it.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

Sam Winnall. Unclear if this would have been feasible though.

Winnall is a fair point but, as you say, not sure it was feasible. Seems like he wanted to go to Wednesday (maybe keen to stay in the north).

 

[Betfair Bozo]

Maybe keen on the 18k a week too. Would have been a bargain though in terms of transfer fee.

Forestieri has been unsettled in the past. Timing seems appropriate too.

You are well named, sir.

He's just signed a new contract. Not sure if this means anything anymore though.

It doesn't. But the reason is to unsettle over the next few days, not to buy. I suspect that might be a tad obvious (although Villa did manage to do it with Calderwood, but the difference there is they went through with it -- I wonder if he's regretting that now).

 

[Hugo Rune]

A great chance for Clough to put himself in the shop window this evening against a very very poor side.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Sam Winnall. Unclear if this would have been feasible though.

He'll grab a couple on Friday.

Robbie Keane confirms he has had offers from Championship - but not Leeds United

Robbie Keane has confirmed he is considering offers from the Championship and expects a decision to be made in the "next couple of weeks".

Preston North End are the bookies favourites to land the Irish goalscoring record holder while Keane's former clubs Leeds United and Wolves have also been mentioned as potential destinations.
Speaking on TalkSport today, Keane didn't rule out a move to Preston but admitted there have been no offers from Leeds or Wolves or the cash rich land of China.

"Keep this space, the next couple of weeks and we will see what happens," said Keane on TalkSport.
"I have had a couple of offers in England and abroad. I have had to knock back a couple because it was too far away.

"I have got a few offers on the table. I have had a lot of people asking are you coming back to Leeds, Wolves etc. But you can’t go somewhere where there is not an offer.
"I definitely haven’t heard from Leeds or Wolves. There area a few other Championship clubs who I don’t want to mention at the moment."

You've convinced me. I'm in.

12 days and counting, can't even attract a striker when we are top of the league.

Happy thoughts.
