January Transfers & Rumours

[magpie_mania]

Just need to keep our fingers crossed for another 98 hours (and a bit).

Any reporter though doing an article on what striker a club might look at would mention Macca. Having said that, Sunderland would be a huge draw due to him coming from that area.

No point losing sleep about it though - I want him to stay, but if he goes let's hope a replacement is lined up.

If he did go that would leave us with Morias up front and pretty much no time for a replacement for Langstaff. It would be promotion suicide. The brothers have said we don't need to sell anyone and that promotion remains the aim. He'll definately be going in the summer though either way.

Macca is not going anywhere soon, As for Morias, he is crap and will no way lead our attack.. The only place he will going is back into none league..

The next 60 hours or so are pivotal for us. Not just who we can keep but if we strengthen. Saturday showed me that when we struggle we don’t have the players on the bench to change things. 2 key positions that IMO need competition is up front (preferably a big man as crosses were coming in and Macca was competing with giants) and out wide (right or left). We must have the budget to do so without having to get rid of players (I’m not saying we shouldn’t let one or 2 go) as we have the LW compensation and an average home attendance that has to be higher than planned for?

Bringing in a striker of any quality, that is competing for one place against Langstaff is a very tough gig.
I would think it more probable we would strengthen the attacking mids with a view of McGoldrick moving up top if Langstaff was injured.

Yeah, I agree. Any striker coming in will almost certainly be backup while Macca is here. Plus, we have Scott hopefully coming back for the last few weeks or the season.

Nothing against Scott, but should we be relying on a player who by the time he comes back would have played very little football in 12 months?
My desire for a striker is not to replace or be an understudy to Macca but rather someone who can partner him. Didzy was far from his best at the weekend - the same for a few others - but no quality replacements on the bench to change it up.

We need to start planning for next season, and finding younger, energetic replacements for Bostock, McGoldrick, Rawlinson and O'Brien.. Also transfer list Morias and Randall..

Wimbledon’s Al-Hamadi gone to Ipswich for a reported £1.75m. Scored fewer goals than Macca and on a shorter contract, but 5 years younger.

Could be an interesting comparison.
