Isn't he already on loan at WHU, from Chelsea?

 

loan period ends shortly and West Ham are not renewing it. In the game at their place he was a total non entity. Based on that showing I don't want him anywhere near our first team. We can do much better for far less money.

Looks like Brum are inviting us to come and get Jack Buckland for £6M now they're skint. Let's do it as Kelvin is way past ready to be put out to grass on yesterday's showing. He's looking old - sorry mate but time to hang up the old gloves and boots.

 

No thanks.

 

£6m on Butland would be an utter waste of money.

BBC Sport gives plenty of suggestions for posssible January movers. And includes Lescott, who I've suggested before, and this:

" DEDE (24, centre-back) Vasco da Gama

 

Strapping Brazil centre-back, dominant in the air, quick across the ground, sound in the tackle and capable of playing out of defence.

 

Club's financial crisis could force a sale."

 

Sounds promising. Anyone know anything more about Dede?

I also saw that, and wondered the same as you. But he previously been linked with higher clubs than us, could we be that imaginative ?

 

Then theres the usual chestnut of a work permit.

GK options. What about maarten stekelenburg?

 

Not playing at Roma, 30 year old Dutch international. Fulham want him.

 

Could get him for as much as we'd pay for Butland.

 

That would be a fantastic signing. Although if Fulham want him then maybe we could nab Stockdale off them?

Brad Friedel signed a new contact until 2014 with Spurs last week so I can't see that happening.

Yeah, saw that, but that usually just ensures the selling club get a higher price. I can't see it happening either, but if I were Adkins that's what I'd be proposing to Cortese. It has to be worth an enquiry.

Astori would be a good signing but I'm not sure about Butland, he will be a top keeper but is he better now than what we already have?

 

with that money spent, you cant go down...no way..that is QPR spending

 

Agree with that, especially with no sales either and I still think we need another wide man.

No he is a lot ******* better! KD has been a great servant to the club but is now a liability.

 

He was a liability when we dropped him the first time. A smart move then would have been to get him a NPC/L1 loan so that Adkins didn't have an excuse to bring him back as son as Gazza screwed up a bit (or a lot as the case may be). KD's continued presence in the side can only be due to NA's misplaced loyalty towards him, there can be no other rational explanation. It was wrong last summer but having learnt the hard way we've fallen into the same trap again.

Reading have signed the sporting captain, a CB, for 600k. Bargain.

"Carrico is a versatile player who can play in the centre of defence as well as in midfield". Substitute "Pele" for "Carrico" and all sounds very familiar. Has only played twice this season (due to contractual issues not injury). Remains to be seen if he is a bargain, he is not a full international for Portugal so don't see why this is seen as such a big deal. Sporting are not the team they used to be, in the bottom half of the Primera Liga, although cannot blame Carrico given he hasn't played. Seems a fairly risky signing, can't see he would be any better than Jose Fonte.

I don't think it's massively risky, as there's very little cost involved, but it's an odd one. I don't think he's any sort of world beater for a start.

 

If we signed him, imagine the melt down on here....'''OMG we have no money!!!'' ''Oh christ, we've gone for the cheap option''

Frank Lampard -but we can all dream can't we. He'd have the same influence that Keegan and Ball had in the old days, but the wages-never going to happen nowadays.

 

Sorry but Lampard can not be considered in the same league as KK - twice European Player of the Year- when we signed him , let alone Alan Ball.

 

Lamplard would be a costly high profile signing, but as you say not going to happen, his most likely move will be joining Uncle 'Arry.
