Silly Season January 2014

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Lukaku's injury looked a bad one & if as looks likely, he's done his ligaments, then that's him for 8-10 weeks.

Which will force Martinez into the market, let's hope he makes a considered decision as opposed to a last gasp panic buy

then that's him for 8-10 weeks.

Ok, send him back to Chelsea...

looking forward to our phantom bid on deadline day, then bills bum boys defending it

If Lukaku is injured for a few months, we'll obviously need to replace him. But we also need a player who can take us to the next level - I seriously doubt we can afford to get both.

So it's a case of stick or twist. We either need assurances Lukaku is ours in the summer, or we need a new striker now.

I can take not signing someone now if Lukaku is a permanent, but that said if that's the case why can't we sign Lukaku now?

Loans, loans everywhere.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

We're either broke as feck or Martinez has very specific targets he thinks he can get good value on in the summer because the chit has hit the fan and been sprayed all over the walls.

I doubt Mourinho will let him leave now or give any assurances - he'll probably want to wait until the end of the season. I also doubt Lukaku would agree to a permanent move without knowing if we'll be in any european competition next season.

i think RM has is targets. The mounting injuries may force his hand a bit though

I'd rather look forward to us bringing in a quality new striker that Bobby's has on his wish list, but each to their own......

 

[Blue Truth]

Martinez said the squad would be stronger at the end of the window and as it stands now I think it is. The problem is half it is injured or unfit.

that defeat has sombered me to grim sarcasm, apologies, I sincerely hope your version of events transpires, but I can't see it right now

 

[formerly manx toffee]

We were comprehensively dismantled yesterday, specifically at the back.

Lescott and Martins Indi please, plus a striker.

 

[itsnowak]

im sure he went straight to an office after the game and made a few calls

 

[Jayhow15]

We are in a worse situation now in comparison to the deadline day when Straq signed, in my opinion.

Lukaku out
Traore untried
Mirallas Not a natural CF (I know some will quote his goals record in Greece here )
Vellios Hmmmm
