Dig Dig Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 Assuming we have someone lined up it is interesting theres no real leak as to who. Most likely not a high profile player I would assume, especially as Poch bigged up the scouting network in his interview the other day. Usual negative drivel from you pal. Could be a MASSIVE player ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 Usual negative drivel from you pal. Could be a MASSIVE player ; ) What does your Scunny oppo think? Word from Kharkiv is that Liverpool set to sign Konoplyanka. Very good player and top lad by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewildered Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 Hopefully we don't get lumped with Quagliarella, though you would assume with the fact that nothing transfer related can be kept secret when it involves Italian sides, we'd be hearing about it by now if that was on the cards.

benjii Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 MP sounded pretty confident of a signing which makes me think it's a long-term target that we had lined up rather than an opportunistic swap or someone being hawked around late in the window.

And we don't often grab players at a whim, all of our signings in recent years are ones we have a huge amount of information on - they're all targets for a period of time, in some cases - over 18 months. This is where you see the benefit of such a big scouting and player database system, when you need someone you don't have to panic - we have all the information available to us to make a sensible approach. So I think you're right, whoever we're after will have been a genuine target, whether or not Osvaldo left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely will be a loan though otherwise we could end up stuck with the new vuy and Osvaldo in the summer. Also thought MP was pretty genuine re no business in his pressers, obviously the Osvaldo thing has forced our hands so until that we probably had no plans.

Saint Charlie Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 And the two bad injuries Perez said no plans to replace them. And if we get a striker we won't have. Re Cork, imagine the story has been leaked by his Agent to get us to firm up plans for his future. Out of contract end of next season so if we arent going to offer him a new one then we may well sell for the right price. Or we will offer one soon.

Also thought MP was pretty genuine re no business in his pressers, obviously the Osvaldo thing has forced our hands so until that we probably had no plans. Unless his Exit was on the cards prior to the Fonte incident. i think we always have targets, it's just a question of whether we decide to buy them or not in any given window. We are pretty certain to finish 9th or thereabouts so it was probably felt that we should give the squad the chance to develop until the summer as there was no point investing a load of cash to finish 9th more emphatically! With Ossie-gate, we have maybe accelerated on a target on the basis that it's now worth it overall to spend some money. i think we will be looking for a loan for Osvaldo with a permanent transfer obliged in the summer.

Maybe so, I still think we can get more than 3m for him he's too good to be let go for that cheap. I wonder when his contract is up though, if he only has 18 months left then the low bid may be more understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the route that Danny Fox is expected take, with Nottingham Forest set to complete a loan deal for the left back with a permanent move agreed for the summer.
