January transfer thread

I think it depends on our aims for this season as to whether we're desperate. If the plan is to push for the playoffs and try and get promoted this season, I'd say we're desperate. If the club/board don't mind not going up this season, I think we'll be fine.

 

I agree one bad apple can ruin the team. So don't bring in a bad apple...get someone good!

 

Starting to get a bit twitchy now, not panicking just yet but the thought of having just one striker is terrifying

 

It’s a tough one this.

People are right saying we won’t overpay, which is fair enough in ordinary circumstances but Stewart picked up the injury during the window and it’s in our hands on whether we replace him. If it happened 2 weeks later then we’d have to suck it up.

If we get dragged into a relegation battle will people still stand firm that we shouldn’t have overpaid for the sake of 6 months to ensure we finish the season strongly?

 

Let's just offer 30 million for Simms then ?

 

I have no idea how much Everton would accept for Simms, but to take him on loan again with an option to buy would be a good deal I reckon.

We could also do with an experienced 'war-horse' striker to tutor the bairns.

We're not going to get dragged into a relegation battle, we're 15 points clear.

 

you have any examples of this 'war horse'

 

Going to preston according to football insider

 

First of all I am no expert, but there us a man Wyke... or Windass, got to begin with W

 

So much of a football fan you make your self out to be a smoggie but don’t know it

 

If you had been on a lot you would know most are of the older age

 

If it were the lad from Coventry, Gyökere's now that's a different matter for say £20m!

 

I think Smug may have a point

 

Just something I've heard not 100% sure how true

 

Tell me what has age got to do with it when you post BS

 

Without looking, I think we have 18 games left and a fairly healthy squad. Not bringing in a player now would take a few months to rectify ...

... bringing in the wrong player could take 2/3 years to rectify.

Not to mention the disruption it can cause such as Rodwell who absolutely stunk the place out, denigrated some of the young players and set a terrible example.

The club is doing it right imo.
