Transfer Rumours January Window 2016

[Fettis the striker]

Under Steve Bruce, wing backs are definitely defensive roles, though under Brucey, so are central midfield...

He also likes to play a midfielder upfront

 

[tigerrev]

I've got more pace than Ryan Taylor, he's not going to get considered to play anywhere and he'll be gone at the end of the season.

Surely he'll play on Saturday?

The bids for Elm

I've always championed Elmo, but he's slowly stopped trying to beat his man, not sure if his paced has dropped off or he is just being a tad lazy, if we got a decent fee for him I'd not be too fussed. I'd much prefer to see Dave there and a decent left back in place (like Rosey), not that Dave hasn't been but I feel he's wasted back there, every time I saw him for Brentford and he played in Elmo's position he was class.

Will be sorry to see him go, but on this seasons performance's its best for both city and Elmo. I can only take it that the alleged bids have come from clubs that are basing there bids on our seasons in the PL, at the end of the day he's not been at the races this season.

Possibly, but if so it will hopefully be in central midfield, he's a tortoise.

Grimsby want to hang on to Townsend and have him sign a pre contract, but they're confident he will move to a football league club next month.

Could / May well be used as part of any deal for Oxford Utd's ""Kemar Roofe.""

Oxford or Shrewsbury for Townsend it now appears to be.

 

[originallambrettaman]

Leicester City are set to beat Juventus to the signing of 18-year-old Sampdoria right-back Pedro Pereira.

Shrewsbury have said the story's rubbish and they have no interest.

 

[londontiger]

Presumably you mean right back?

Assuming Elmo goes, Dave will stay where he is, Snodgrass will play in place of Elmo.

Yes of course right, brain not in gear with fingers.
Snodgrass is one hell of a player, we're only seeing glimpses of him, but Dave for me would be better in the wide position, he's so much quicker, they are very different players. Where else would we play Snodgrass through? In the middle or behind Hernadez? Either way they are both very good options, but will always be in favour of pace

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

Derby have made a loan approach for Gayle.

About as likely to happen as Charlie Austin going to Newcastle.

Most of the stories so far are just that............ stories.

Very little good comes from the January panic buying.

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

Shrewsbury have said the story's rubbish and they have no interest.

If true then Oxford it is then.

 

[originallambrettaman]

Danny graham can leave Sunderland, we should be all over that like a cheap suit

Bridcutt and will Buckley can also leave

Bridcutt's about to extend his loan at Leeds until the end of the season.

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

Greedy bastards!

Ince, Weimann, Bent, Martin and Russell... and they want to add another forward?!

That's an awful lot of ego's to massage.

Indeed so. Don't see Derby being a worry to either US or Boro when the tickly bit arrives like.,

twt as always mind.

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

According to the HDM Hayden has gone back to the Arse as there is a permanent deal in the offing for him from another club. apparently if that falls through, we might keep him for the rest of the season

Fulham or Brentford maybe ? twt....

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

Results wise we are doing well,

Which is all that matters when all is said and done. Those on here who want Bruce Out and don't like the style of football we play have obviously not been around for long.

Compared to many seasons I could mention (mainly pre-KC years) our football is quality stuff.

For this season IT IS ABOUT RESULTS. WINS. If I want guaranteed entertainment then I shall watch a movie.

 

[tigerrev]

Possibly, but if so it will hopefully be in central midfield, he's a tortoise.

...and that's being unkind to a tortoise

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

Newcastle want Dawson apparently
http://whatculture.com/sport/newcastle-transfers-former-england-defender-in-surprise-link.php

Newcastle are being linked with everybody, well almost everybody. atm, Dawson is still out injured,.

If our players cannot get up to beat PNE then what chance of any of them getting up for another relegation fight ?

 

[originallambrettaman]

Conor Henderson has been released by Crawley, he's not had a good time since he left us.

 

[TigerRoo]

I can't find any offers for Elmo and as his contract is up in June who the hell would pay a couple of million for him when they could get him for nowt in 4 to 5 months? No professional footballer, donning his Clubs shirt, will go on to the pitch without the intention of giving nothing short of his best. Elmo simply hasn't got it any more so it's not a case of laziness. Snoddy is showing some fine touches but we have to remember that he has been out for over a year with a very serious knee injury and would have to be a bit wary so will be a little short on his game.
Danny Graham? Is somebody just trying to wind me up? Would be lucky to get a game in the Australian A League. For Gawds sake!

You'll find out in the next week.

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

I don't believe that Elmo will leave unless we fail to get promoted this season, Bruce has shown him ultimate loyalty and I fully expect that he'll repay that.

SB said in a recent interview that Elmo's form had been affected by speculation

Elmo told Burnsy after the TWS game that he wont be leaving in January. He will choose what he does next in the summer.
