[Archived] Transfer Window - January 2016

[4000Holes]

In this thread, many, many players old, young and others are mentioned.

I would say, are you looking at our under 21's under 18's? Today yet another great victory against Sunderland who have a superb record this year, yet our youngsters won and outplayed them. I hope Lambert is taking notice because as soon as pressure is off regarding bottom 3 hen I believe a nucleus of these guys can come through.

The future looks bright!

Well my players coming from West ham so in a shock move I think it's going to be Payet, as he has discovered a fondness for superfood, black pudding, and knows the best comes from lancashire. I know he's a bit young but only a bit so I'm bending the rule for a guy who really wants to come here

Rovers making a loan offer for Divock Origi from Liverpool.

Friend who works at Rovers was talking to Kenny Dalglish. He was supposed to keep it confidential but accidentally told me. Did say though he might have misunderstood what Dalglish was saying so...

To summarise the BRFCS 'loan window transfer roulette' game, here is the following:

I was born on the 23rd of February.

23-11 = 12.

Crystal Palace are 12th.

Midfielder aged 31+ - Mile Jedinak

Good friend with contacts high up at Crystal Palace has said we will shortly be announcing the loan signing of Mile Jedinak until the end of the season. I've backed it.

You're such a liar Alan Nixon says there's no chance. Of course I didn't completely misread your post before I asked him.

Lucky for him you are good at keeping a secret then.

Mind you if Kenny mentioned the name, it could be Davey Corrigan...

Dalglish probably told him where to go but because of Kenny's deep Glaswegian drawl your friend was probably none the wiser.

Loan window open

Reece Oxford from West Ham until the end of the season on loan. Heard it could be a goer...

...based on J*B's theory.

Lewis Mansell has played really well for u18s and the U21 and has scored a total of 19 goals in 16 games. I wonder IF Chris Brown would do that.

I doubt he would get in the u18 or u21 sides

Can we not tempt tempt Georgi kinkhazi out of retirement?

[Norbert Rassragr]

I'm good friends with someone on the Arsenal board and I know we'll be signing the promising midfielder Ismael Bennacer on loan.

I've bet life on it.

[SoldierMo]

I say hire chaddy as scout

note to the Jermaine Jones posters - suspension aside, part of the reason he has not re-signed at this time in MLS is because he wants a multi-year deal, and no one has been willing to offer him one (at least at whatever terms he would accept). The news reports are that he would accept less than his previous contract (again, no one really sure how much less that would be), but the multi-year aspect was the critical part.

In the last several US national team matches, he's been playing center back and not as a midfielder.

I do not rate him as a starter, even in the championship at this point. I think he could do 45, especially if we are leading, in a bit to hold and settle the midfield. But I don't think the current version of Mr. Jones is the answer.

One US player who could possibly adapt (although would probably need half a season to adjust to the style/pace of play) is Perry Kitchen, currently without a club and available on a free transfer. Has similar energy and drive, but hasn't really played the pace of the championship. In MLS, there were matches where he was brilliant one week but would disappear the next. Part of that came from the very defensive system he was playing in. But with the right players around him, would definitely step up from the MLS play - last I heard he was looking for opportunities in Germany. He may be worth a punt on a trial though.

Reportedly the last MLS offer to Jones was around $10,000-$12,000 a week. I would not be surprised if he signed a cheap deal for the rest of the season somewhere to at least clear the ban.

LT believe there's no interest in Jermaine Jones.

Rovers are still looking at players but "not at that calibre" in response to a question about Jermaine Jones. (AN)

[AdamRochina]

But wasn't it Nixon who said we were looking at Jones?.. How does he have a job...

[VinjayV4]

Well he said Rovers were looking at Jones but was too difficult so moved on. He did say it would be a difficult deal to pull off when he first reported it. I should have made it clearer in the last post.

[SoldierMo]

Always keeps it 50/50 our niko does i can say we are looking at messi but maybe difficult to do

[Tom]

And Rhodes deal was done - then it was off

Then it wouldn't happen after all that had gone on - then he signed.

Still think he has a line to the club again now which is more than in the last few years.

Like the look of Samuelson at Peterborough. Tidy little player from tonight's evidence. Forrester isn't half bad either.

is that the tall blonde haired lad ..? Only caught a little bit of first half and he stood out , comfortable with the ball and kept possession well always tried to look for a forward pass

[Blue Cabbage]

Lovely feet out wide to do McLean then.

Very tidy player

I was thinking the same whilst watching them tonight. Both really tidy players who are comfortable on the ball. Showing composure that our midfield has been lacking for about the last 5 seasons! Think some prem

Clubs will be looking at these pair following tonight's performance

Yeah he's tall but I'd say brown rather than blond. Which is fine for me as I've always preferred brunettes.
