Silly Season January 2014

There's still time yet mate, no one has signed anyone apart from us.

Martinez has had 1 window and absolutely nailed it, probably had a better window than any other club.

It will all kick off soon.

I am not having a go at bobby, this club has been here before many times and it,s the same faces in the main stand who let us down.
 
Apparently his shift to Hull is buckling due to a fee not being agreed, but Long is also saying he'll stay at WBA if need be. If Everton came in he'd be off like a shot I think.

Not convinced he can get us the goals in sufficient quantity though. He's a grafter, but nowhere near top notch.

Long has 19 in 81 for WBA and got 44 in 174 for Reading.
Jones has 13 in 88 for Stoke and got 26 in 94 for Mackems.

Long is 27 this month Jones is 30 in October.

Long for me but then I am loving the Irish influx at Goodison. b)
 
Buying in Jan is always tough mate

You're always paying above the odds for people and you can get seriously fleeced.
We have some money to spend but we have to be very careful when we buy someone as we have considerably less to spend than the clubs we're competing with

Biggest myth going, especially when your talking about they will only sell if his release is met, be that Jan or summer, Its just become a way of palming of the supporters when a club does nowt in January, can give a whole list of great January signings

Just for the record, what did seville want for negredo in January last year and what price did City end up paying for him this summer for a good example of what im saying

The only time its at all a valid statement is when a player has like 18 months left in Jan and come the summer is going into the last year, thats the only case of a price dropping significantly that makes it worth hanging on a extra 6 months

If we can get a 1 goal in 3 game striker from somewhere it could make all the difference come May.
 
People going on about the increasing Irish continguent at the club !! It's great I'm in Dublin and you can't get any merchandise at all over here although that's a argument in itself I don't want jones would prefer long or ??? However whoever does come in is squad player !!! And we need bodies in
 
I,d take long over Jones every day if we wanted a backup short term solution.

What concerns me again is that here we are in another transfer window when the team are flying in the league and cup and yet we cannot seem to get our act together and add the quality we need to the squad to give ourselves a chance of a top 4 finish or cup final.

How many big signings have any Premier League clubs made there mate? The only one of any note is Aiden McGeady to us, how you derive from that that we "cannot seem to get our act together" I have no idea. I suspect you know just as little as the rest of us with regards who Martinez has lined up.
 
I'd see Jones as 3rd striker in Martinez's mind. A last roll of the dice. I believe (or hope) we'll have Lukaku + other quality striker + back up striker (Jones-type) by the end of the window.
 

Fella, every blue nose has been through the ringer with this club every transfer window. It,s time we started to look at the root cause of the problem not the manager, not the fans but the fellas who sit in the main stand and don,t put a penny into the club.

If only we'd listened to you 10 transfer windows ago, we'd be in a much happier place.
 
I wouldn't object to Jones IF he was being brought in as cover for the injured Kone, as opposed to being a direct replacement for Jelavic. Off the bench he'd give us a good option, as he's a real handful, but we need a quality replacement for Jela in addition.
