January Transfer Window Talk

[sinkov]

Decent looking line up, we have made hardly any signings either, lost about 10 though. Do the full backs have much pace? From what i seen in MOTD on occasions last season the strikers are quite physical. If Lennon is in the mood he will run our “left back” ragged unless we sign another one.

I don't think we have any individuals you particularly have to fear Paul, it's the work-rate, organisation and mental strength that other teams struggle with. They're sort of intangibles, but if you don't match us in those areas then we're a hard team to beat. These players don't lie down, they never roll over, they never give up on a game, they'll play for the 90 odd minutes, they may go a goal down, but their heads won't go down.

That really does sum us up very well and it has worked over the last few seasons.

Gary Cahill age 32 thinking of leaving Chelsea TM value £13.5m salary £80k with one year left on his contract.
Curtois TM vale £58.5m with one year left looking like going to RM for £31m
So Cahill could go for £8-£10m.

I remember Cahill as a kid when we had him on loan from Villa, pity we could not have nicked him then!

Not sure we will have to wait until August 8th OC.

We now have FIVE players right in our sights.

Terms still to be finalised and fees agreed, but I expect FOUR of them on board within the next month!

This comes from a really good "source" who is not often way off the mark.

Sadly, two more senior players are leaving, which means we need at least another two, to add to the four potential inbounds.

I'll bet SD is not enjoying his "rest"?

Remember that BT?

He was so clearly destined for the very top when he was here BT, that I could never understand why Villa let him go to Bolton. I still can't work that one out.

This is why BT's taxi firm has gone into admin CiB. Utter confusion over who wants picking up, where and when.

Lots of money spent sending taxis too early and having to return empty.
The inside track isn’t working very well, lots of fake news out there.
Even Sean looking to break our record hasn’t got his man.

Clucas Tm £7.2m and Mawson Tm £13.5m could get in one but don’t dispatch yet. The Europa deadline fast approaches.

We are only one of three who have done no business at all. One is Spurs who already have a good team the second is Everton not sure about them and the third is us. Of the three we are the ones who do not want to stand still but we have up to now. If anyone from the club looks at this forum then get your finger out.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Two taxis already booked, meters running and on standby...

Expect Clucas to arrive imminently followed by the return of our very own prodigal son.

No-one saw the Mawson one coming but that deal might get over the line fairly imminently too.

Dawson is a dead duck incidentally and "Yes" this came from a trusted source in Burnley this morning.

You will see these rumours and "update" spread right throughout the football media too!
