S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Owwww I wanted him tbf that area has dropped down in the priority list with the emergence of shaw.
pingwing Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Yeah that is true but thankfully it is just a bid so far, nothing further than that yet.
Saint Charlie Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Yeah that is true but thankfully it is just a bid so far, nothing further than that yet. Not convinced he is that good, certainly not been great for Blackburn this season and at LB is not as good as Shaw for me. he would want to be a first choice and We can't offer that anyway.
thefuriousb Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Is Jamie Carragher worth an enquiry on loan (if he won't actually leave Liverpool)? He would undoubtedly add experience and leadership, esp in view of Jose's injury.
Thedelldays Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 if we stay up...danny graham would be a good shout in june
MOSaint Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 if we stay up...danny graham would be a good shout in june I think he could be out the door at Swansea this month. Laudrup doesn't seem to rate him and Reading/Villa are both rumoured to be in for him.
Saint Garrett Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 I do rate Graham, surprised he hasn't played this season as he looked very good for them last year.
Window Cleaner Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 I do rate Graham, surprised he hasn't played this season as he looked very good for them last year. Swansea are looking another striker though, can't remember his name, another young Spaniard perhaps, sh*t hot apparently. Nope that's Arsenal, Swansea have enquired after Kenwyne Jones if you believe all you read.
RobM Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 would be immense going forward...but we will concede a bucket load The only three changes in that team are a much improved CB (Astori), a new and highly rated GK (Butland) who is at least no worse than what we have and Puncheon replaced by Coutinho... so unless you think Puncheon is the answer to our defensive problems or our current GK's are saving us from losing points, how can your comment possibly be true?
SuperSAINT Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 tbf that area has dropped down in the priority list with the emergence of shaw. Yeah, and Shaw is probably leaps & bounds ahead of Olsson, defensively.
Asaint4ever Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 BREAKING news.SSN We understand West Ham have made an undisclosed bid for Blackburn's Martin Olsson From what I have read on here ain't west ham meant be skint? And in big trouble? But they still keep buying players? Can someone help me out?

Rebel Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 What if Twente don't want Hooiveld and/or De Ridder? Do they not have a choice? Why would Spurs or Stoke loan Dawson or Upson? In the summer Spurs only wanted to sell him and he has captained them this season. It's easy to make these lists but in reality it's harder than just saying 'Get him, swap him for him etc'. Well we will never know if we don't ask - plus it seems to be fairly common knowledge Upson wants out of Stoke and Dawson was in a similar position at Spurs in the Summer as AVB wanted to move him on. There was also a rumour Twente were interested in Hooiveld - but like most posts on here its based largely on assumptions, rumours and conjecture.
Window Cleaner Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 From what I have read on here ain't west ham meant be skint? And in big trouble? But they still keep buying players? Can someone help me out? Skintness in football is relative, just means you take a long,long time to pay your debts other than player purchases and massive salaries.
pangy Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Christ some of you lot are mental,I swear some of you never watch football or read the news,some of these names being thrown around by you are laughable and would have us relegated in no time
supersonic Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 I don't get the big fuss about Butland? seen him play 4/5 times this year, looks over-rated and very raw. the last thing we need is an inexperienced goal-keeper who's prone to making mistakes - we already have one

I think he's going to be pretty good, but we'll just be having a deja vu moment if we signed him now.
ThreeSixty Posted 7 January, 2013 Posted 7 January, 2013 Rumours say Anders Lindegaard is on his way out from united after a falling out with Fergie...

Window Cleaner Posted 7 January, 2013 Posted 7 January, 2013 Rumours say Anders Lindegaard is on his way out from united after a falling out with Fergie... I heard De Gea was being replaced as well, strange thing rumours.
Lighthouse Posted 7 January, 2013 Posted 7 January, 2013 On the subject of out of favour Manure players, Alex Buttner has hardly set the world alight. I know being not good enough for Utd doesn't nescessarily make you a bad player but he hasn't made a Prem appearance since matchday 4. I'm not suggesting HCDAJFU, just something to remember next time we don't sign a target and people are outraged when he signs for someone else.
ottery st mary Posted 7 January, 2013 Posted 7 January, 2013 No doubt..Rooney and RVP will be off loaded soon;) Not good enough for the mighty Saints. Buttner play v WHU ? Not sure.....We have better LB at Saints..
Window Cleaner Posted 7 January, 2013 Posted 7 January, 2013 From what I have read on here ain't west ham meant be skint? And in big trouble? But they still keep buying players? Can someone help me out? I see that "Skint" West Ham have signed a Brazilian striker then. Wellington Paulista ?

Matthew Le God Posted 7 January, 2013 Posted 7 January, 2013 Dont you mean 3? Only if you think Davis and Boruc are inexperienced.
hypochondriac Posted 7 January, 2013 Posted 7 January, 2013 Only if you think Davis and Boruc are inexperienced. Inexperienced in the prem.
Matthew Le God Posted 7 January, 2013 Posted 7 January, 2013 (edited) Inexperienced in the prem. So what? Boruc has 46 international caps for Poland and has spent the last 2 years in Serie A for Fiorentina towards the top of a top European league. Before that he played in a number of European campaigns for Celtic. That should be more than enough "experience" to cope in the Premier League. Give him a run of games (which he hasn't had yet) and he should (at least in theory) be more than good enough for us. How is goalkeeping in Serie A really that much different from goalkeeping in the Premier League? Edited 7 January, 2013 by Matthew Le God

Doctoroncall Posted 7 January, 2013 Posted 7 January, 2013 (edited) BREAKING news.SSN We understand West Ham have made an undisclosed bid for Blackburn's Martin Olsson West Ham United have been rebuffed in their attempts to secure Martin Olsson after Blackburn Rovers rejected an offer worth around £2m for the Sweden defender. A number of top-flight clubs are interested in the defender, who has been capped 14 times and featured in Sweden's 4-2 defeat of England in Stockholm last November, with the east London club first to make a move. Yet an initial offer has now been rejected with Rovers, who are 13th in the Championship and under the caretaker-management of Gary Bowyer, having apparently told West Ham that the player will not be sold. That resolve will be tested again before the end of the month, with Allardyce now considering an improved bid. West Ham have already added Joe Cole and Marouane Chamakh and are keen to strengthen their team as early as possible in the current window. Edited 7 January, 2013 by Doctoroncall
LeBenali Posted 7 January, 2013 Posted 7 January, 2013 Anything around the £4million mark for Olsson would be a good deal IMO - would offer good competition for Shaw and also a different option on the left wing.
studentsaint Posted 8 January, 2013 Posted 8 January, 2013 Factually inaccurate. Perhaps you mean you would like a goalkeeper who performs better than the ones you have seen so far. No I mean we lack a competent goalkeeper. Not one who's kicking is off or one that punches rather than catches, I mean we lack a goalkeeper that will not single-handedly lose us premier league points. This is the position that right now is our biggest threat to relegation if not dealt with. Adkins showed loyalty to Kelvin after last season and his services to the club, with a young keeper as back up. Kelvin was conceding poor goals, so gazza was brought in, did ok but started to throw away points. Boruc was brought in through panic as our keeping options were limited and he was a free agent. Right now Boruc looks the shakiest keeper we have and the only reason fans are willing to give him time is because one if his many spills has not resulted in the concession of a goal. If he spills another cross and is punished by villa with an important goal people will call for him to go. Points have been lost through individual keeper errors, Swansea and Fulham are prime examples, and if it continues it will relegate us. So need is the appropriate term.
Wade Garrett Posted 8 January, 2013 Posted 8 January, 2013 Chris Baird could be a decent signing for the right money. Versatile and experienced.

There is nothing available at a reasonable price that will get us over the slump, and lets face it even if we brought in Friedel a single dodgy parry etc would mean the ***ts in the Northam would be on his back straight away. Boruc didnt even get a whole game for his debut before being ridiculed. Fwiw I think he currently looks our best option, not great no but certainly better than a poor Davis and an inexperienced Gazza. Added to this is what someone said the other day on here, I forget who, but basically there is now a culture of fear, a mistake could result in being dropped and that gets in players heads.
Saint Charlie Posted 8 January, 2013 Posted 8 January, 2013 Reading signing Hope Akpan from Crawley. Have seen him a couple of times and he is decent at L1 level but imagine if we made that signing how it would be received on here
Dig Dig Posted 8 January, 2013 Posted 8 January, 2013 Reading signing Hope Akpan from Crawley. Have seen him a couple of times and he is decent at L1 level but imagine if we made that signing how it would be received on here At least they have done it by the 8th though!!! Sometimes I wonder what's more important on here, quality or timing.
Saint Charlie Posted 8 January, 2013 Posted 8 January, 2013 Ryan Nelson leaving QPR to be a Manager in Canada. Big blow for them as he is their best CB but Im sure they will be bringing in a few top players this window. Dyer also released which is a good call by them but makes no difference to the relegation battle.

Window Cleaner Posted 8 January, 2013 Posted 8 January, 2013 (edited) Gaetan Bong from Valenciennes,LB or occasional CB. West Ham are after him, really we should be looking at this sort of player, not too expensive and a fair potential because having watched Shaw closely on my DVD recording of Saturday's game he still has a lot to learn,just seemed to give up on every 50/50 ball, perhaps there were other reasons (see Muppet Show).

Billy likes the look of him tonight - Anyone else watching? billy sharp @billysharp10 I do like the look of nahki wells,he was lively against arsenal now against villa.I reckon he will get a move this window.
