Katalinic Posted 29 January, 2017 Share Posted 29 January, 2017 Odd we are after a keeper at the moment. Even with McCarthy out we still have Lewis and Taylor, unless Lewis is about to go on loan?! Sounds like a loan with option to purchase so guess Taylor and Gazzaniga out at the end of the season with Lewis possibly out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centre back however.... 1 is injured 1 has played 75 games in his career and is 36 and overweight 1 is 18 and not ready yet. 1 is on loan for the season. 1 is playing horrendously and doesn t command. Makes sense to take someone on loan to provide competition because let s face it the other ones are not. Watching ligue 1 every weekend, thr guy was mostly first choice last season, good shot stopping commanded his box, never hesitates to come out. That being said he is still very young a bit raw and is prone to making the odd mistake. Has good potential he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the saint in winchester Posted 29 January, 2017 Share Posted 29 January, 2017 Has anyone mentioned Branislav Ivanovic yet? Can play RB and CB. An older experienced player to play alongside Stephens (which JS clearly needs). A decent RB to compete with Cedric, so no more Martina. Appreciate he will be on megabucks at Chelsea but they are letting him go. We have to compete with potential suitors, not his last employer.

Dusic Posted 29 January, 2017 Share Posted 29 January, 2017 Shaping up to be busy the next couple of days, the Nice keeper flying in tobight according to reports, Gabbiadini tomorrow and surely a centre back to follow too. All required (assuming McCarthy's new injury is serious), but as Jan is acknowledged by Reed as not a good time to do major business its certainly a change! In terms of outs, should we get another keeper then perhaps Lewis can go out on loan, or just focus on learning his trade with the U23s like most 19 year old GKs would. Could see Isgrove going, Reed really should go out on loan now we have fewer games and possible the odd other U23 player, Olomola for example. Interesting to see Jay Rod's Dad retweeting an article suggesting WBA will try again to sign him before the end of the window...surely not? IMO this summer we could dispense with one of our strikers but I would JR as the one of the three I would most want to keep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless something materialises 'off the radar', we are a Yoshida injury away from yesterday night's nightmare from now until whenever (including the cup final). Start believing the first part of your second sentence. If Virgil is out long-term, that is crazy! First part of second sentence: 'unless something materialises off the radar'. Whilst it is good that it seems likely we will be bringing three players in, why wait until the last day or two of January? We have known about Austin's and McCarthy's injuries for a long time. We were also told Fonte wouldn't be sold until we were in a position to bring his replacement in. He was sold 9 days ago, and counting. The window has been open for over 4 weeks already. Had we brought in the players most on here could see we needed at the beginning of the window Puel wouldn't have had to throw in the towel in before the FA Cup match had even kicked off yesterday. Still, hopefully we will get a new spine: new GK, CB and striker; and they will all prove to be worth a £50m bid (each) by Liverpool within the next 12-18 months.

Baird of the land Posted 29 January, 2017 Share Posted 29 January, 2017 Starting to wonder if Forster is carrying and injury & Mccarthy's injury is much more severe than initially seemed. Otherwise seems a crazy move to be bringing in another keeper. Whoever recommended signing Taylor needs kicking out if he's not good enough to even play in the game we deliberately threw against his old club.

badgerx16 Posted 29 January, 2017 Share Posted 29 January, 2017 so you are happy with Martina as back up RB ? Surely it's more important whether CP is happy with Martina as back up right back. Before the injury to Pied, Martina was supposedly on the way out, and as Pied got injured a week before the summer window closed, there was ample opportunity to bring in an alternative - but Martina was retained.
