He's usually spot on. Deserves the benefit of the doubt based on his previous predictions. Some sources you learn to ignore when they constantly spout ***** all the time, but I don't think he has missed a trick since I have followed him.Yea Why Not wrote: You mean your disapointed to know that some twat on twitter thinks that Andy Johnson is BFS's main target

Re: Jan transfer window 2012
The obvious choices are Piq and Ilunga. Both still on Prem wages and have long gone past their sell-by date at the club. We'd be lucky to get £1m each, but it'd be a weight off our wage bill. Could be around 70k a week if reported wages of 28k (Ilunga) and 40k (Piq) are to be believed.the pink palermo wrote:Would this be a good time to point out we already have a £35m wage bill ?
Who do people want to sell to fund all these players ? And how much do you think we would get ?

Which clubs do you reckon would match their wages? Or do you believe either would take a wage cut for first team football?Lincolnhammer92 wrote:

Re: Jan transfer window 2012
Maybe that Russian team can see a partner for Eto'o and a replacement for Roberto Carlos In reality, I can't see either of them leaving, or taking a pay-cut, but they've got to be the obvious choices to cut the wage bill a bit.Yea Why Not wrote: Which clubs do you reckon would match their wages?

Re: Jan transfer window 2012
What we seem to be currently lacking (and demanding) is a bit of real quality in the midfield area...This isn't something I think we'll be able to afford or attract in Jan. I expect it'll be more re-enforcements to carry on as we are and ensure promotion.
Piq could appeal to a prem club in a relegation battle, Illunga might appeal to...erm...yeah ok wishful thinking. There's also Barrera...ever present in a struggling Zaragoza side...he could return and be the spark of creativity we require in the wide positions.

I don't think he's been much of a disruptance at Charlton has he? In fact, he's their best player. You must remember that he is 26 years old now and is probably a lot more mature than he once was. I'm not sure when he was caught stealing coats but I bet he was a few years younger when it happened.hammersam wrote:Last thing we need is a disruptance like BWP....werent he the one caught stealing from coats in a nightclub?

Re: Jan transfer window 2012
I know for a fact lewis dunk would jump at the chance to join the hammers. L'arse and Fulham have had talks with Brighton.
He doesnt want to go there. Hes a Chelsea fan like his father. signed improved terms in the summer. But will be available in January.
Somebody please tell the club to have a chat.

So, despite being the obvious choices , neither is an option
So we can't sell Piq or Ilunga , who else are we going to sell to cut the wage bill and to raise the funds to buy someone new ?
Tomkins ?
Noble ?
Green ?
Cole ?
Sometimes, we may just be better off sticking with what we have .
Im not sure on Nobles wages, but I thought Tomkins is only on a few grand a week, Green is around the 19k mark hence his requests over the years for parity & Cole I read a while ago had a relegation clause in his contract that means he earns less if we we relegated form the Prem, so I do not think that even if we wanted these players to leave (WHICH I CERTAINLY DON"T) they would free up much cash to splash in Jan?

Re: Jan transfer window 2012
Pinky,
Why are you so certain that G&S will not pump any more money into the club in Jan? Surely a £5m investment that will significantly boost our chances of promotion would be beneficial in the long run..
I just think you never know with these guys....
After all, i'm sure everyone would agree they've done a pretty good job in the transfer market since arriving

Re: Jan transfer window 2012
I feel we have a good enough squad (apart from injuries reducing cover in areas) at the moment for where we are in the Championship.
Come January we will certainly not be promoted yet and I feel that the Dave's will prefer to wait until the summer when we know where we will be next season, then rape some of the relegated teams and try to pick up some freebies.
Linda @ left back could be made permenent but again we have him on a years loan so why action that deal until necessary?
The only obvious area we need cover is at CB and left wing.
I do not think we will ever see Barrera again so we could try to move him on ( if we are allowed to, as we have loaned him out for the year) and use funds generated there to make any aquisition to get in another CB.
Im still tempted to use our development squad players and bring through one or two to cover other areas as needed.
We should really concentrate on keeping those players we have such as Green & Tomkins, improve & lengthen their contracts with clauses that increase their wages when (if) we get promoted back to the Prem.

Yeah well he spent all last season saying it was all about the players and tactics don't make a difference and this season it's all about Allardyces negative tactics.

Re: Jan transfer window 2012
I still find the Barrera situation baffling - transfer funds are tight, we don't seem to want him here, he CERTAINLY doesn't want to be here, and he's one of the few players we have that would generate a decent fee...and we loaned him out. A tidy £3 million or so for a player who doesn't actually play for us would be quite handy right about now

That'd be a £1million loss on a very young player with bags of potential in just under a year...not great business.Aceface wrote:A tidy £3 million or so for a player who doesn't actually play for us would be quite handy right about now
Hopefully, he'll come back after a successful season, find the club to be totally transformed and be the proverbial "new signing" that or we'll sell him on and get at the vey least our money back!

Re: Jan transfer window 2012
Sadly I agree with this one. It looks like we missed a trick selling him after the CONCAF tournament where he looked very impressive and probably held his value at about £4-5 million. He wouldn't be anywhere near that now, he gets taken off at half time nearly every game for Zaragoza.Aceface wrote:I still find the Barrera situation baffling - transfer funds are tight, we don't seem to want him here, he CERTAINLY doesn't want to be here, and he's one of the few players we have that would generate a decent fee...and we loaned him out.
