Silly Season January 2014

[Ashtonian]

It is all relative because the cover players all need to be fit for them to be able to cover. For example Oviedo replaced Piennar and Deufleu. Now we currently don't have all three of them! That is very bad luck but the knock on effect is that without wingers, we also cannot afford to lose our left back as Ovideo covered him, so in one fell swoop we have lost cover in two different areas.

When you factor in all the 'minor' injuries we currently have, it probably suggests we will ge tthem again, except next time it could be our midfield pairing that gets them, whereas 1 player brought in could help with that. Someone who can play both defensively and offensively in the midfield. quality does not even need to matter as chances are you only want them getting a game when you are on the bones of your arse, which by that point (like now) you hope to get through each game unscathered and a point at least better off.

Now bringing 2 players in would really help with the injuries, and i will champion Bruno Martins Indi all day long. He would repalce heitinga in the squad, be a long term replacement for Disitin and can cover Baines as well. We should pay the kings ransom for him or a player similiar to him if it allows us to run with slightly less squad numbers than we should.

Just heard from a source at the club we have an experienced Argentina international flying in tonight with talks to be held tomorrow in view of a permanent transfer.

Is Count Stracq an Argentina international by now? Hope so...

On a more serious note: Lucas Biglia? Fear he's too slow for England.

 

[Moomin]

Ever Banega.

Could it be old billy boy has a buyer lined up and he's trying to get as much cash as he can before he runs for the hills this seems very odd with all these loan signings and no money getting spent but players leaving for fees

 

[SpurtingLesbian]

Exactly.

And how many of them have three first teamers out for the season?

you probably could argue that ManU's injuries to key players have been as bad than ours
at least our 'stand-ins' have performed well when called upon.

You guys do know Chris is taking the mick.. right?

 

[ijjysmith]

Ever Banega.

You tease.

You guys do know Chris is taking the mick.. right?

Yes mate.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Yes mate.

Some people in here didn't seem like they clocked on to be fair!

 

[TheFinnFan]

I heard something interesting but im not telling cause gentlemen dont do s••• like that

 

[malfosse]

You guys do know Chris is taking the mick.. right?

Wait, what?

Think bobby pretty much said today he's saving the cash for Lukaku. It's obvious Chelsea are going to sell and we need to keep the cash if we want him. Only going to get better so he'll be a great investment

I believe Tom Ince will come in as Oviedo's replacement - call it a hunch.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Wait, what?

The player he is referring to is Requelme

 

[Ashtonian]

Still think us talking about lukaku is probably the same conversation that West Bromwich fans were having this time last year. There us no reason for Chelsea to sell and a fee more goals from him this year will prove that.

I want to be stood corrected on the matter but I think he is too good to sell.
