January Transfer Window - Part One

[JAL]

I will post this, I dont want hammering for it but my source is very good, Venkys have been unsuccessful in acquiring loans from other sources, the Desai woman is adamant they will not put their own cash in, thats if they have any spare, so we have to sell if we wish to strengthen the squad and of course, rid ourselves of the top earners!!

Lets hope Barclays get heavy and pull the plug sooner rather than later. Just hope theres a local boardroom back up team waiting in the wings.

[Pedro]

Totally missing the point Hughesy.

No-one [i don't think] rates Roberts. However, he's better than Goodwillie and Blackman put together. If you think Goodwillie will have a better PL career than Roberts, then I have to strongly disagree. He's pants.

Roberts should be available to play. If and when we can replace him with someone better, then he stays - new contract, or not. You're already selling him and leaving us with Yak, GW and Blackman. That would be crazy.

Let's see if there is any money first.

Den, it is common knowledge that he is in fact the next Wayne Rooney.

Quite right, balancing the books is their biggest concern now. They have done what they wanted, why would they use any of their own cash? There intentions of ownership should of been questions by the FA and PL at the time of takeover, now we are dicked.

Ok possible daft suggestion time, hoilett is likely to go, Bentley is back in spurs reserves.

To me there is still potential for a top player there and could be just the player to feed the yak.

The question is why hasn't he performed at Brum or Wham

[LeChuck]

Bentley picked up a serious knee injury at West Ham and returned to Spurs for the operation. I don't think he's anywhere near fit for a while yet.

[Tom]

See I told you it was a daft suggestion

[LeChuck]

I can't seem to find any info about how he is getting on, but the initial diagnosis was six months out back in September. I would have loved him back here, I mentioned his name a fair bit over the summer.

This knee injury could be the end of him as a top flight player though. He'll do well to overcome a massive slump in form and a serious injury.

So what you're saying is he would be perfect for us then?

To be honest I only remembered him as I saw David gold tweet that he was back at spurs.

[purplegrover]

Not convinced the premier league will let him sign for 2 clubs

Well he has put in some half-arsed performances. What about one arse cheek at Stoke, the other at Spurs ?

[purplegrover]

Surely Hughesy was trying to say that Roberts is soooo bad, even Goodwillie could score more. Not that he is any cop?

That's debateable, however Goodwillie was an utter garbage signing.

Spot on. Goodwillie is a brick. Too slow. Yak is a brick too of course, but the good kind... he at least has a turn of speed and can spot a chance and take it in a millisecond. We need someone to act as a foil to Yak, not a pale (no pun intended) imitation of him minus the turn of speed. Get rid of Goodwillie now. And Roberts. And Petrovic. And the young brazilian (who ?). Along with Salgado, Grella etc. They are adding no value, and we need to bring in some cash so we can buy (or at least pay the loan wages for) a proper left back, a decent CM, and someone with speed up front...without selling Samba.

[JAL]

If Keans wants to earn some credibility in Blackburn then he should definitely flog Petrovic in this window, one of the worst player to pull on the famous blue and white jersey, worse than Keef.

Michel Salgado is the latest big name being targeted by clubs in China, skysports.com can reveal.. skysports.com understands four clubs are hopeful of landing his signature.

Be a good move for Sally and us really. He would be on a fair amount of cash over there and we need him off the wages.

[Majiball]

I thought we were meant to be moving quickly????

Same old claptrap as always.

[adsfortheblues]

I see Vieirinha has signed for wolfsburg another "target" of ours

[sharpysharps]

Moving quickly will turn into the usual 'we have been unlucky in trying to bring players in'.

More like nobody at the club understands how to make a phone call, or send an email, or a fax, or probably even walk and talk at the same time.

Yup, just like when we wanted to get our business done early in the summer.

[K-Hod]

We'll probably end up getting someone gash in on deadline day....

Hopefully another Yakubu!!

[joey_big_nose]

Goodwillie is a terrile terrible player. Slow, poor movement, selfish, weak, average technically. I have absolutely no idea why we signed him.

[The Rover of Finland]

Not even real rumours. Oh, didn´t the clown say business is done quietly. Salgado could get his last deal from China or Qatar. But for Roberts I see no takers. We will end up loaning someone in latest hours of the window or Kean says we were unlucky.

[King Kenny's Magic]

Ey up Unleaded's about. Any transfer news buddy?

he just looks very unfit to me and doesnt fit the formation(if you can call it that) where playing, id like to see him playing just behind the yak in a 442(4411), that seems to be his prefered position.

And not to worry as the positives are blah blah blah ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

You always want your forwards to be selfish, but other than that totally agree with you jbn. Bad managers buy bad players.
