January Transfer Window Rumours

[Sydney Greenstreet]

I think once the politics settle down, defoe could very well end up here.

if he signs then you're correct. if he doesn't then the politics have spoiled the deal and you're correct again

We desperately need a big strong defensive midfielder

I’ve read today (and don’t know where to find it now) that we’ve been linked with Stoke midfielder Tashan Oakley Booth. Don’t know if he’s defensive but looks like he’s a big lad! This will have been somewhere on either this or t’other forum.

Personally I know very little about Roberts, but folk are raving about him...look forward to seeing him play.

Secondary reminder that 2 January's ago we signed Declan John.

The club has entirely changed

To be fair, I thought signing Declan John was good business. He's a decent player at this level, just for whatever reason, he didn't make a single appearance. Bringing him in wasn't bad though.

RTG - OMG we should definitely sign Defoe - he will hit the ground running
Also RTG - it will take Roberts ages to get up to speed.

There is a lot of kids on that site

We've boosted our defensive and attacking options so far this window no doubt.

 

[Culinary]

What a signing Roberts is. Brilliant by the club. He fits the bill perfectly. Will bring balance to our left hand side, has brilliant vision, beats men for fun, delivery is good and scores goals. Him and Cirkin will terrorise teams. Cant wait to see the lad play.

Sorry to be that bloke mate but doesn't he tend to play from the right?

Yes,, right wing cutting inside with Trai Hume or Huggins overlapping.

Kinda fits the bill, young player who lost his way. Hasn't played at all this season according to his Wikipedia page

What's bizarre is that Football Insider are so ITK about our transfers that they knew we would announce at 3pm. But they said it was a loan.

What's that about? Who's giving them that news if they think is a loan?

Clearly its somebody who knows we are going to announce it at that time. And all 3 of us, City and Troyes announced at same time. So it could be that they actually got the news from Troyes. Or they got the news from somebody in our "office" who knew the announcement was happening but not privy to detail.

No need to be sorry mate. When I saw him at Derby he played as a bit of a left sided 10, if that makes sense. He played off the right at celtic. I am assuming we have taken him for the left side to fill the McGeady role. We have enough on the right I think in Dujaku and Gooch. Just my guess but someone with as good a left foot as him should find playing in that left hand slot of the 3 easy.

 

[Charley Farley]

Just think.
With this new signing who is supposed to be a bit of a tricky player, we could have him, Pritchard and McGeady behind the leagues top scorer.

It could be like the Harlem Globe Trotters if they all are on their game.
Being fed clever passes by our boy Neil and with Cirkin and Huggins doing their magic.
What a team to watch.

Really looking forward to seeing Roberts play, he sounds like real talent and hopefully we can get to see the best of him in a red and white shirt.

Ha’way the lads

Dont forget we have Broadhead to return yet aswell. We also have Embleton, Dajaku and dare i say Gooch aswell (if its one of his good days).
Not many league 1 clubs will cope with that much attacking talent.

 

[Smug in Boots]

Players like this don't come cheap and don't often drop to League One ...

... that's great business by the club.

 

[Billy Batts]

Bob reckons Defoe is off down the road.

 

[Zidane]

I still don't understand why some think that Defoe is not match fit just because he hasn't had game time.

I'm an ex- FA coach and every squad player without injury, trains together.

....and if injury free, all those players are ready to start ...fact !

If we got two CF's in, including Defoe, and he only came on for the last 20 mins in every game (for those who thinks he's too old) he will still have a direct impact on those games.

KLD will make the final decision on this me thinks....

Exactly. If we get two centre forwards. What if its only one. In that scenario I think Defoe would be a bad choice.
