mrmojorisin75 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Problem is that everyone knows that Man City will be buying/selling a lot in January. We'll face a lot of competition for the likes of Elano or Johnson and competition for players isn't something we can handle at the moment I"m afraid. yeah but it's the oldest story in the book man, anyone worth having is gonna be wanted by others, what're we supposed to do? give up before we start (well, we did against liverpool i suppose ) Find more Bassongs. More difficult than it sounds but it's our best option. well, yeah, i suppose dennis and his team (cough, spit) should have had plenty of time the last few months to be digging up some more players eh? i still think we need to rustle up some of them but we also really need to spend decent money on some quality or it ain't gonna work...

Teasy Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Ar I know that, just reckon there'd be Inter fans a bit sceptical about it too. Doubt it, at least Owen's played quite a few Premiership games and scored nearly a goal every other game, the stats are there to see even if you don't watch the Premiership. I can't find a thing about Suazo's record.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things considered I think I would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliemort Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I dont know if I would be happy with,would be a bit of a risk.If Owen stays till the end of the season I think his goals will keep us up where Suazo doesnt have much time to adapt to the premiership.It would be ideal if it happened last summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I thought Doyle was off to Villa? When they were hunting UEFA cup spot, now they are looking pushing for CL place it looks like he has been forgotten. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'd try for the following, and i think we'd have a reasonable chance of getting them: Jonny Evans James McFadden Papa Bouba Diop Baptista (loan) A decent left back That addresses all the positions we need cover for except right back, but if i remember correctly Evans has played there in the past. JE - Is going nowhere. JMc - He is not that good PBD - Broke Bap - I dont Roma would sell him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Has nobody mentioned the Journals report this morning that we apparently want Kightly from Wolves, some kid from Cardiff and Kevin Doyle from Reading. In regards Doyle, he may well be an astute signing to play alongside Owen or (next season) Oba. Viduka is a thorough waste of time, Shola is unreliable and Xisco may as well go home now as Kinnear will never play him unless tortured by bamboo. Doyle had one very good season in the Premier League and one poor one when Reading went down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Speaking on the latest situation regarding transfers, Kinnear asked Toon fans to stay calm. He said today: “The fans need to know there is a lot of work going in regarding transfers in the background. “We are making offers for players at the moment. “Offers have been made, but then you must wait for the clubs to come back to you. “They will wait to see what other clubs offer and take it from there. “Loans are a good option for us, and if we can get quality loan signings in we are making progress to tide us over.” Chronicle Dont like the bit at the end, sounds like scrimping and scraping.

Sounds spot on to me. We'll not be relegated even if we get no players in the January window, and i'm not that keen on Kinnear spending our money, especially when he's not here long term. Two or three good loanees would be fine with me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ashley is going to take this seriously, which i believe he is going to now (he has to, or he won't sell it), then he needs to appoint a good manager. I think he knows this tbh, you'd hope he does.
