Our January window

[HughieG]

What do you think it will be like?

I think we will bring in a couple of players, and I have a strange feeling that MA is willing to spend money this window. He has done it in the past depending on how the autumn season has gone.

He knows that a couple of additions would improve our chances of staying up and thus bring in the TV money. On the other hand, we know he doesn't like spending too much money on players.... Hmm.

Call me deluded if you like, but I'm going for a loanee and two cheap buys.

[Sclox]

A couple of loans at best. Lascelles out with maybe another.

Any request for replacements will be met with Blakey from On The Buses facial expressions from Charnley/Ashley.

One of the back up keepers will be sold for £4/5m, we’ll bring in loan cover at left back, Lazaar will go out on loan, Lascelles will be sold £35/38m, Hayden will go out on loan as he’s home sick or whatever , maybe a loan to cover for him going and we’ll buy a striker for £12/15m so making a £25/28m profit.

[Geordie1974]

I dont think we will sign anyone.

[Jammy89]

I think we'll get 3 players and they'll be a combo of loans and transfers.

A left-back, a number 10 type player and not sure whether we'll go for another striker (despite i think us needing one).

[trinitoon]

I can see one loan.

I reckon an actual signing will happen if we sells La-sells.

Agreed Jammy. Maybe we're being a bit optimistic, but I have a feeling that a player or two will come in.

Last January we brought in Kenedy, Dubravka and Slimani. All loanees of course. In the relegation season we brought in Townsend, Shelvey and Saivet. So there's a pattern forming.

Aye. Good, but will leave at the end of the season, good and will stay, and ****e. ;)

Haha, well spotted! Thankfully we've gotten rid of the ****e though I'm sure we'll sign some more ****e in the upcoming window.

That's been the Ashley way window upon window and it's about time it changed to the manager's way so we stand a chance to progress little by little instead of the fear of a heart in the mouth relegation battle season upon season.

You're preaching to the choir, Pat. If only our manager, now that we have one who is actually good, was trusted to bring the club forward. It's really not asking for much.

Not quite Hughie as some choir members still sing out of tune, no good is achieved preaching to them.
