Silly Season January 2014

Show us some stuff they have got right mate

If i could go bk that far down a timeline i would but i can only say from experience, but he got Bily right when all the media were saying Bystrov. I seem to remember him saying Naismith was a target before we even signed him. Jelavic before interest arose in the rags and stuff, Joel the keeper, Beckford to Leicester for 3-4 million before anyone knew.

thats what i can remember from the top of my head, thats where i saw it all first, from him.

Jela rumours will crop up thick and fast now! Only difference in Heitinga & Jelavic rumors is that we will need a replacement first! Letting him go would leave us with only 1 recognised striker at the club? (Vellios & Mirallas are a different story) Jonny was behind 4/5 other players, Jela is behind 1.

Can't see that happening like.. unless a replacement is sought fast he will be staying!

And it begins.

we better be in a damn strong financial position. Theres a MASSIVE windfall of TV money coming our way at the end of this season.

We have already got it. Every club has.

We have already got it. Every club has.

I'm pretty sure we haven't. Clubs with more flexible owners have just borrowed against the money coming in later.

 

[andy4efc]

Both good blues.

About as ITK as my cat tho.

Exactly, dont buy into any of them, or any 'itks' at all really. LCAB said BAines had gone for two summers.

He did indeed.

Clubs received money at the end of August mate, thats from someone who is in the industry and did a guest speaker where I study..

Regardless, there is already money there. Why do people think Southampton and Cardiff were able to spend so much without sale? Southampton spent £35m in the summer, they've got a good owner but couldn't afford that without the new money!

Enjoying the last two days of the holiday season and a boss day of footy tomorrow before I get involved in all this madness again.

They were spending it with the knowledge they were receiving the money January times I thought. If you say its so, I will believe you like.

Aidey you bad twitter arse.

 

[CaptainBlood]

Ian Abrahams says he's heard that QPR are interested in Jela

Any chance of a deal for Remy in the summer then? IE loan Jelevic til summer then player plus cash for Remy?

Dispite issues he's a goalscorer which we WILL need next season.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

don't what remy anywhere near our club. Very bad egg.

Not sure that's correct. I've heard from someone involved in the club that money lands end of season.

Other clubs have presumably borrowed against the money in advance but we haven't (through either choice or being unable to)

....probably a bit perverse, but I like all the rumours and gossip. Appreciate that others feel the opposite.
