david in sweden Posted 18 November, 2014 Share Posted 18 November, 2014 6 weeks to the January transfer window - and already the media are carrying out " their versions " of possible transfer deals - thick and fast. It seems likely that we will sign 2 or 3 new players -perhaps more - but the big question has to be .....who will go? Ramirez and Osvaldo will continue to be loaned out, either until their contracts run out, or some club is willing to buy them cheap. Hooiveld and Yoshida are nearing the end of their contracts are will likely move on, as is Jack Cork (although his move would be somewhat regretable - unless re-signed soon.) Boruc also close to the end of his contract, and surely one of the younger keepers (Cropper or Gazzaniga) will find themself - surplus to requirements. Bruno Martins Indi is in the headlines (another Koeman favourite) , as well as the much-vaunted move of JayRod to Spuds - in exchange for - Harry Kane and Andros Townsend. (on a personal level, I've never been convinced about Townsend, but Kane looks a good prospect.) My own choice would be the Swedish-born John Guidetti (officially Man.City reserve) presently on loan to Celtic, who had a successful spell at Feyernoord under ---who else? - Ronald Koeman. There is a lot of time until the end of January, and surely miles of newsprint forecasts to come before we get those answers, but already it looks like it'll be another " interesting " window. My guess is it will include, at least, one we never expected to sign..... or even one or two we've never heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 18 November, 2014 Share Posted 18 November, 2014 I think we will sign Bertrand permanently. That will be it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 18 November, 2014 Share Posted 18 November, 2014 It's good to see Guidetti getting his career back on track, I think most clubs are looking for him to have a strong period of 12-18 months before getting excited though. He has been beset by injuries and illnesses all over his career, so if he can lose that weakness then he can do it at a higher level for sure.

MarkSFC Posted 18 November, 2014 Share Posted 18 November, 2014 I hope we get Alderweild and Bertrand signed up permanently, if that's possible under the terms of their respective loans. I think we do need another attacker of some sort. Tadic, Pelle, Mane, and Long are a good group and add in JRod and that's very good. But we do not know whether JRod will come back to full tilt quickly or at all, and Mane is off for a month, so someone else may be the difference between top 4 and top 8. Shakiri seems to be available!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli Posted 18 November, 2014 Share Posted 18 November, 2014 You don't sign anyone in January unless you are desparate because they will be overpriced. That said, I think the fees for Toby and Bertrand have already been agreed in principle so not a problem if we can tie those up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 18 November, 2014 Share Posted 18 November, 2014 Sign Toby and Bertrand, Get Cork, Davis and J-Rod on new contracts. Maybe bring in another AM/Winger but not desparate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midfield_General Posted 18 November, 2014 Share Posted 18 November, 2014 The one area we're obviously at risk is goalkeeper if anything happens to Fraser. Paul Robinson sounds like he might be available. 35, loads of experience, still got a few years in him and would be happy to sit on the bench. Would depend on wages of course but I'd rather have him as back-up than Gazza and not heard much about Cropper to know if he's ready if called upon. http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/forgotten-keeper-robinson-ready-quit-blackburn-january-4049092#.VGtVSL7A7ow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 18 November, 2014 Share Posted 18 November, 2014 I think we are most likely to see permanent deals for TA and RB and possibly J Rod being sold.

Shroppie Posted 18 November, 2014 Share Posted 18 November, 2014 Nobody. We are a happy club. No good players available in mid-season so no business to do. Agree with this. If we can make loans permanent and not lose anyone we want to keep, will be fine. Jrod will be going nowhere. Just like in the summer, ridiculous speculation over a badly injured player. The club have confirmed there was never any approach for him in the summer, and Jan will be the same. Too big a risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted 18 November, 2014 Share Posted 18 November, 2014 Would love us to get TA and RB signed up permanently. I think we will definitely secure RB but I fear that the TA deal is a bit more complicated. Fingers crossed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 18 November, 2014 Share Posted 18 November, 2014 I still think we need another option (or two) up front. We will suffer if Pelle ends up injured. None of or other options up front are really equivalent to Pelle and his centre forward play. Plus Mayuka isn't up to much and unlike some I'm not convinced Jrod is just going to walk back into the team and just pick up were he left off before his injury. With Mane going to Afcon and with what ever is going on with Sam Gallagher we could look very light up front after Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrent Of Abuse Posted 18 November, 2014 Share Posted 18 November, 2014 Sign Bertrand and Toby permanently. Sign Rodriguez on an extension or (If he refuses) consider the swap deal for Kane and Townsend with us giving a little bit of money to go with it. That way we either have good players locked down or squad depth. No other transfers needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 18 November, 2014 Share Posted 18 November, 2014 I'm almost certain RK has lined up Jordy Classie as his replacement. Wouldn't Classie be a replacement for Morgan or Victor both of who will most likely be off in the summer. Cork has proved he is an accomplished PL midfielder who we could tie down and keep for next season when several of our midfield do a runner to the big clubs next summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 19 November, 2014 Share Posted 19 November, 2014 Schneiderlin to Spurs £25 million Wanyama to Arsenal £18 million Clyne to Man Utd £20 million J Rod to Spurs £15 million Pelle to Liverpool £12 million Tadic to Liverpool £18 million Forster to Liverpool £15 million I am assuming that those prices are what those clubs would like to pay for those players in their own little fantasy worlds. Tadic and Schneiderlin are the two who in particular could walk into pretty well any team here or in Europe, so the two most likely to command the highest fees raised upwards following a bidding war by the wealthiest clubs. As per our default position, we don't wish to sell them and we don't need to sell them, so the only sales will be based as before on ridiculous sums of money being offered, the offers that cannot be refused because they are so ludicrously high. We will identify replacements for any players who leave, who will cost a fraction of those they replace and be better players. Those players we sell will then prove to be not as good without their Saints team mates and the buying club will wonder why they didn't buy the players that we have brought in as replacements. I see that you have Liverpool down as prospective buyers of three of our players. So you don't think that they've learnt their lesson yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 19 November, 2014 Author Share Posted 19 November, 2014 I think he is one of those who is really 45, not 25 don't joke - you maybe right. There has been a bit of media coverage on " some African countries" who issue passports with " dubious birthdates " on them and some " very mature-looking" players have turned up in U21 sides. The "lad" mentioned is a hit with AIK (Stockholm area club), and he's scored a few spectacular goals, but the general standard of Sweden's top division is not better than Championship standard.

Saint Charlie Posted 19 November, 2014 Share Posted 19 November, 2014 We would need an extra body in attack though if Jay isnt going to be up to speed by Jan (or not even back playing) and Mane goes away for a month. If Pelle, Tadic and Long are the front 3 there is nothing behind it at all bar Isgrove or McQueen and with respect they arent going to win games of football to stay in the top 6. No point jeopardising a brilliant start for the sake of a 6 month loan. Even a Sinclair or someone would do until Mane is back and JR fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
