Anyway this whole thread is making me angry, we all know that this window will be a complete waste of time and disappointment! Posts of a wish list signing reminds me of my Christmas wish list, but I didn't get any of the presents I wanted and the Mrs is still here! We live in hope though!!

I think Grabban and Targett are fantastic possible signings. Grabban has 12 goals this year, and Targett has good size and speed with a solid left foot. Imagining him paired up with Sess on the left side + Johansen...goodness, boys. Get excited.

Plus Johansen? He's been awful this season.

I think Johansen has actually had a few great games, albeit infrequently.

Grabbans 12 goals were very much in the McCormack ilk in terms of everything goes through him, team built around him and to his strengths. And him asking to cut short his loan is very Chris Martin-esque.

Making same mistakes with different players in my opinion.

I agree however... if we could put up with it for 5 months, that may be enough

Bournemouth had a clause in the deal so that they could recall him if an offer came in for a permanent deal, and thats whats now happened so theyve recalled him.

Just interested, do you ever credit someone with having been excellent?

Targett would  be yet another loan and only half a season. Can't get excited about that. Would such a signing make SJ look silly? Of course not.

Ream was excellent on Saturday.

Hopefully this time I will reply to the right thread (Lol). The young Forest 18 year old striker was very impressive today, did more in 1 game than Fonte has done all season for us, straight swop or maybe pay them 2m and give them Rui?

They'll charge big bucks for him. He's young and English. Won't happen.

Its a clever move. Most likely, Sess will be leaving in the summer. We need a LB to compliment Sessegnon, which Targett supposedly will do. Our approach in the summer could be different, as a more attacking full back may be necessary. So long as Targett takes away defensive duties for Sessegnon for a few months, its a good idea to revisit the whole situation in July.

Yep, he's their Ryan Sess and will only move for big money to a Prem team.

Fulham are looking at buying FC Köln forward Sehrou Guirassy, who has scored 4 goals in 12 games this season in a struggling Köln side. The fee would be around £4.5 million, rising to £6 million with add-ons. #FFC #Fulham #Köln

We were rumoured to be very keen on him during the summer but he chose Köln over us. Interesting.
