Blandy Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Would love Alex Pritchard from Spurs he would be the creativity we desperately need in midfield....I remember him running rings around us in the two games against Brentford last season!

chaddyrovers Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Alan Nixon saying BBC Radio Lancs tonight that he expects us to spend money In January
Wing Wizard Windy Miller Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Alan Nixon saying BBC Radio Lancs tonight that he expects us to spend money In January £50,000,000?
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Alan Nixon saying BBC Radio Lancs tonight that he expects us to spend money In January What was that midfielder called we were signing when we were going to be spending big ? Can't think of his name but he was Belgian and would have been a great signing and would have made us a load of dosh when we eventually sold him.

Loadsamoney2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Axel Witsel? Plays for Zenit in Russia at the mo. Beat me to it.. Was at standard liege at the time.
chaddyrovers Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Also Nixon said the Venkys ppl were over 2 weekend ago and saying they would be spending in January
Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted December 21, 2015 Moderation Lead Posted December 21, 2015 Alan Nixon saying BBC Radio Lancs tonight that he expects us to spend money In JanuaryAhh, so Venky's remembered where they left that war chest?
donnermeat Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I think we were going to sign Pablo Piatti too, if memory serves.
LDRover Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 And Riquelme. Never mind at least we got to see the genius Petrovic.
Loadsamoney2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Vedad ibricic was a target. Can't remember the manager at the time. Poss sam.
Hasta Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Does anybody else not quite see why Tom Lawrence is a must extend in January? Apart from his awesome cameo against Charlton, he's been steady but does too much of his neat work well outside the box and doesn't really influence games. Don't get me wrong, he is OK but not the godsend we hoped and some believe. His recent starts on the bench suggest maybe PL shares this opinion.
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Axel Witsel? Plays for Zenit in Russia at the mo. That's the guy. Seems like he went from strength to strength later in his career.
deryck guyler's spoon Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Axel Witsel? Plays for Zenit in Russia at the mo. We're we not supposedly interested in Papiss Cisse around that time? ( at Frankfurt then I think?)
Blue blood Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Depends on how long term the project is. Problem is even with short term ambition to get promoted this season and resources to do so it still takes time for players to gel. To me the positive is there are some good players - on form the centre backs, Olsson, Marshall, Apkan, Conway and Rhodes are all good enough to be part of a play off team. Problem is after that the quality drops alarmingly l. Utter
Neal Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Don't believe this talk of us spending money... I'll take the manager at his word, that we'll only be making loan signings. If "spending money" means we'll spending more on higher wages in the form of loans then it's understandable. Get Glen Murray, Grabban and a decent centre mid on loan and we'd be up there 100%.
TBTF Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Given our history and finances then loans are fine - ideally with first refusal if parent club wants to sell. Frankly don't care if we get to the Premier League with 11 players that we don't own - just that we get there eventually... Only criteria for me in modern football is that players genuinely work for the right to wear the shirt on any given matchday! Watford seemed to know how to manage it with loans too , klc What was that midfielder called we were signing when we were going to be spending big ? Can't think of his name but he was Belgian and would have been a great signing and would have made us a load of dosh when we eventually sold him. Axel Witsel?

Would be a hell of a statement of intent, but can't see him choosing us over either Boro or Norwich. Also, three club rule.

Problem is after that the quality drops alarmingly. As in utter dross. None of the above can afford not to be on their game. Up front and midfield in particular the quality gulf is so big it'd be embarrassing in league 1. To me we're 4 away from a top class first 11 a striker, cm, right back and keeper. We can probably carry Steele and Henley right now as we're solid defensively but the other 2 positions need filling asap. For a promotion squad all 4 need filling plus an extra striker and winger to be effective as we've no back up in these positions.
Pedro Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 We'll spend money, I've no doubt about that. I just think that the majority of it will come from selling Rhodes and Marshall.

Naismith does want to leave apparently but is being quoted at £7m.
