    When the summer transfer window shut I couldn't wait for the January window to open. I thought lets struggle through the first part of the season and then get some new recruits in January and kick on from there.

    Now I'm dreading January. If it meant none of our current first team were sold I'd quite happily take no new players coming in.

    There have been rumours of Tiote, Coloccini and possibly Cabaye being possible transfer targets. Has anyone else thought that maybe Krul could also be sold? It's not as though the likes of Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal have got a first choice goalkeepers that are on form.

    Im not, seems more likely to be a time of weakening rather than stengthening for us.

    Can't wait for it to shut tbh! I will be suspicious of players being sold until the final minutes

    i agree with the format id sooner keep what we have at the moment ,id like alan smith to go bye byes ,it would be a shame if we lost krul lets be honest wed be in the s*it ,and as for cabaye and collocini i think they will be people wanting them just hope it doesnt happen,lets not speculate yet with the rumours we havent long until january is upon us and we will find out ,mike ashley no doubt will wanna piss us of some more so id anythings possible im afraid

    I love the January transfer window, a few years back it snowed on deadline day so I woke up, school was cancelled sat in me pyjamas all day with the fire on drinking coffee, playing FM on my laptop with SSN deadline day on TV, Was such a good day ! <laugh>

    I hate any transfer deadline day.

    Generally feel as if I'm spending the entire day walking on eggshells panicing about who we're selling.

    Do love the 'my mate works at Heathrow airport and saw Lionel Messi boarding a flight to Newcastle wearing a Sunderland shirt' stories that abound.

    Lets face it, windows are not usually a great time for us. We really could do with signing a couple to consolidate our position, or if you were feeling adventurous, 3 or 4 to really push on. In reality I could see one out, one in but I hope I'm wrong.

    I'm not worried about Krul. I don't think he'd want to leave at this stage so they'd have to push him out. Man U is a non starter. They've invested heavily in De Gea and his form of late has been very good. Arsenal have Schezney or whatever his name is and he is young and very good. Having an excellent season. Chelski have Cech and have just spend a fortune on his replacement. Man City have Hart. The only worry would be Spurs who have the able but 40 yr old Brad Friedel and Liverpool with the excellent Reina. Reina may depart for home at some stage although he does seem happy since the owner change and commitment to improving the squad. The rest couldn't persuade him. The only other option would be abroad but only a select few could afford the fee, and I don't see any of them making a move in January. I believe Krul will end up at Man U or Barcalona, he's that good.

    At least this time you can make the 'My mate's brother has just seen Rooney rushing into a taxi in Birmingham... Adam Rooney of course ;)' joke.

    I actually wish somethinh dodgy would be revealed about one of our recent transfers and we get a transfer embargo. Would be delighted!

    I thought when under embargo you could still sell players it was only buying them that was restricted? Maybe I'm wrong though !

    Maybe you're right. I thought it was transfers in and out.

    i am but i'm not expecting a lot coming in esp. now it's come out that smith is staying
    As for players going i'm more worried someone will try and nick krul off us rather than tiote/colo etc.

    I'd like to just hibernate all of January but then I'd miss our run of games that takes us top of the league.

    Yes and no. Both terrified and excited.

    Hope we keep Tiote and Colo. Well everyone really (bar possibly Perch), but those rumours look like they have substance.

    Hope we get Maiga

  17. I'm not excited. I'd be happy with not signing anyone except a covering CB and keeping everyone we have now tbh.

    I reckon there'll be a lot of talk about Krul leaving this Jan.
