Silly Season January 2014

He's said himself we need a CM. I suspect he's looking at one and not letting on.

I hope it's a real magical exotic one

Martinez said in the exclusive about Traore that he'll be the last signing.

Think we really need a CM to be honest.

Did he do his 'I'm lying' head scratch at the same time? IMO we def need one more in

 

[LTblue]

If we bring anyone else in, it will be a top midfielder who becomes available on deadline day and something that will be too good an opportunity for Bobby to pass up spending a sizeable chunk of the wedge made from recent player sales.

No head/ear/neck scratch this time!

I've never heard of Real Magic-Exotic CF. Are they any good?

 

[BoysInBlue]

Even if it is the last one, the squad is still one player bigger than it was when the window opened.

1 out, 2 in. We have improved.

Sunderland have enquired over banega, would love him here would be a quality replacement for barry in the long term.

shame martinez seems happy with osman as midfield cover

We've been linked to Canales a few times this window, would signing him make you cheerful Douglas?

Sheeeeeiiiiiitttt. Not that it should mean much, but this is being tweeted everywhere making it feel more official. Hmmmm I hope not.

Kevin Kampl would be ideal for what we need in CM:http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/kevin-kampl/profil/spieler_53418.html

Could cover for Barkley and his name sounds like Kevin Campbell.

 

[nsno-chris]

I think he'll pull a rabbit out of the hat before the deadline day; he does need another midfielder but McGeady does give him more oprtions to move people around

Last 10 games of the season Martinez reckons (early March) before Traore plays? It's basically a Donovan-type loan.

We need support and rest for Lukaku before that.

We should have had this plus a new paid for striker this window...and a CM to slot in with injuries/suspensions.

Underwhelmed by this window.

7M off Jelavic for this return? Outrageous.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Really does take the shine off it that he can't play now. Lukaku hasn't been great, and with Osman playing he's getting no through balls to work with, which makes him look even worse.

Agree we need someone before that. Could have done with another option before the derby to be honest. With things so tight for the top 4 it could well make the difference.

 

[Lukaku]

Not sure if Kagawa has already been mentioned but if he's available then should be worth a shout
