The Official Silly Season January Transfer Thread 2017/18

[davew]

Is there anybody playing for your local pub team that is any good and willing to give up his full or part time job and sign for us, if so please urgently pass his name to our stat's team and just make up some statistics, there is still time left to sign somebody, anybody! Our squad IS NOT strong enough to make the play offs, especially if we get a couple of injuries or/and suspensions to key players.  075.gif

I can report that the latest breaking news from the local reporter from the local paper is that there is no imminent news. BUT there is still time for something to happen. But there isn't any rumour about it........anywhere.

I bet Joka is out and about touting a new job as he clearly isn't needed today!

So it's a non romour mill at the moment

[ToodlesMcToot]

On TIFF a post says we've made a bid of £250K for Devante Cole (Andrew Cole's son) - a 6' 1" CF @ Fleetwood.

Is that over a 24 month payment scheme, interest free?

Nice of the lower leagues to finally release their stats so that we could evaluate their players. Maybe they just didn't like Craig and withheld them to accelerate his ouster.

Maybe he's down Soho touting for that massage parlour Wooly keeps talking about.

Grabban on his way to Villa.
That's it then isn't it?,all the available strikers taken.
Beam me up Scottie.

Not doing too bad for strikers then are the Villa - even Ross is now available assuming Bruce gives him a second chance

[Jamie88]

Kait due to go out on loan to Ross County apparently

I know that address in Greek Street that Woolly referred to, used to go there on a regular basis, not much point now!

I am astounded by some of the fees being asked. Leicester wanted a package of cash plus player amounting to £95 mil for Mahrez. Don´t blame Man City for walking away even with all their money.

[filham]

so are we signing the desperately needed striker and CB or repeating the mistakes of last January? We could really push on and go all out for an automatic promotion challenge, but its looking really unlikely with every passing hour, so frustrating.

We have Ayite, Fonte and Kamara so we can't really say we are badly in need of another striker. All of the desperation should be channelled to a new centre back . At the moment Odoi alone is covering all back four positions.

I agree, there are some ridiculous amounts being paid and yet other teams in our division seem to be signing good players for up to 8m and also getting loan deals from Premier League clubs and what are we achieving.....NOTHING!!

Ayite is prone to injury, Fonte is definitely not a striker and AK is a young man with some promise but cannot be compared to some of the quality strikers that our play off rivals have! Odoi is flexible, if he wasn't we would be even more vulnerable, our transfer team are going to leap into action within the next hour, otherwise I would prefer they jump off Putney Bridge (if they know where that is).

Talking about just Villa, 4 of them are youth prospects, who don't count on this board, and Agbonlahor doesn't really play.

The lot also has a mighty 8 goals between them, before Grabban came in. A whole 1 goal more than the useless donkey that is Kamara.

Edit: And IIRC Boro sold Braithwaite didn't they? Edit2: Checked and I must have just read a rumor.

[Riverside]

I'll say one thing
IF there is anyone on their way in Fulham has learned how to keep a leak tight ship .
Deafening silence .

Though of course that is partly being a Championship team rather than a Premier Team with a host of "journalists" sniffing around for Gossip .
The Okaka rumour would have come out of Watford not us.

I don't believe nothing is happening .
Though I do believe there is always a chance of no deals being sealed .
Who knows how to price players in todays market ?

Motspur Park in darkness,even Hilda has gone home.👵👵👵

There was a mutual agreement to cancel Hilda's loan spell . The club would like to thank her for her efforts
