Silly Season January 2014

[Tubey]

It scares me to think that one day a seemingly intelligent, football savvy guy like Roberto Martinez woke up and thought "you know who'd be a good striker for us? Kenwyne Jones!"

Straitjacket required for that man if this is legit...

Franck Moussa's name got mentioned to me again today, will not sign a new contract with Coventry and could be done really cheap.

Centre midfielder with an eye for goal apparently, never seen him play myself like.

We sniffed round him a couple of years ago when he was at Forest

I would also seriously call into question any signing of a player who refused to make himself available for a game in order to engineer a move. That sort of character we should leave well alone.

Wouldn't really call Soldado a class striker, did well in Spain but over here it's a whole different kettle of fish, Soldado has only really scored penalties, and when i've watched him play he's been second season Jelavic-esque

Jamie Redknapp would be proud of this analysis.

About a gazillion to one or something.

.....I'm as underwhelmed about him as most, but are we all being a bit snobby on this one. it wasn't that long ago that folk were pleading for a similar amount be paid for Denis. I know we have moved on since then, but this fella is better than Straq and wouldn't be that bad an acquisition if he's coming in to strengthen the squad.

He's not mate.

That was Guy Moussi I think.

Sign someone please Boberto x

He's not mate.

.....if he's worst than Denis, then he's really bad. I'm of the view that he's a lot better, well perhaps just better.

People are quick to dismiss any rumours in the papers about us getting somebody good, but when the papers start linking us to Kenwyne Jones it's suddenly "FFS it must be happening what is Martinez thinking we are a laughing stock".

WTF, seriously.

 

[Bungle]

I guess we will see won't we

I will gladly apologise if I'm wrong, but my prediction is that neither of those players will sign in this window.

Kenwyne Jones pulled from the stoke squad....swallows a bottle of beta-blockers and hopes it,s not true.

Probably pulled from the squad cos he is utter garbage.

 

[By god I'm blue]

So he didn't have bag fulls of money with UTD in the summer only to panic by Fellaini for 28m at the last minute.


Ok mate.

We say "panic buy" because they bought in at the last minute,though in truth he actually paid what Fellaini was worth in the market. That was only made to look like an inflated fee due to the ridiculous opening bids that they tried to get away with.

Surely we can't have a go at them for trying to get away with a cheeky bid, then when they pay the going rate tell them they have been robbed, how does that work exactly?
