Saint Charlie Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 Just had his loan cancelled apparently after only starting 4 league games.. Because he is/was always injured and is on huge Chelsea wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 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.

MOSaint Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 Huge wages & has suffered a string of injuries so far this season. I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 Benayoun is average. Not worth the wages. Would rather us go for Phillips on Ince if he doesn't join Liverpool. As far as I know, Marin is a wide player not a CAM. But can play either side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 No thanks. £6m on Butland would be an utter waste of money. Not really, the lad is going to be a top top keeper If you said... It'll be better spent right now in other areas, I would agree, but if we can get what we need AND Butland, Ill be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Mulgrew Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

tajjuk Posted 31 December, 2012 Share Posted 31 December, 2012 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.

Window Cleaner Posted 31 December, 2012 Share Posted 31 December, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 31 December, 2012 Share Posted 31 December, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 31 December, 2012 Share Posted 31 December, 2012 I don't think it's massively risky, as there's very little cost involved, but it's an odd one.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
