Cajun Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I dont think doing long term business in January is the way to go anyway, the deals are just never there....... January is for short term transfers to get clubs over the line in my view.... Just look at how many transfers in january are successes, very few. I think Erding is one that is probably worth it, he has been scouted thoroughly, his club are happy to sell and the player himself seems to be getting itchy about the lack of games. Also players out of contract are probably worth a look (Hoillett for one). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yh agree, if you scout someone over a period of time its ok, like we have with Hoilett and Erding but alot of January transfers are panacking which leads to flops.... In general tho, the best thing to do is to sort all your business out in the summer imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We are a top class LB/RB, CB, RW and striker away from matching most teams on "our day" IMO. Far behind on quality squad depth too. Would be chuffed with a striker and fullback this window, could do with another CB too which is the most likely addition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Pretty confident that at the very least, we'll get a CB (for cover reasons more than anything) in by the end of the month. (Such a CB could be a young prospect too actually......). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest magpie99 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 From what I have read, Erdinc will end up at Lille. We wont buy the left back from Lyon..................too expensive I think we will eventually get Morrison in but that will be it. Asdhley has already told Pardew he wont dip into his owmn pocket to sign players and I am pretty damn sure the majority of the latest shirt sponsorship money will have gone to paying Ashley's loan back and not on new players. My main concern is will MU come in for Ba if they sell Berbatov to Munich? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I think as long as we sign cover at centre half I'll be content because if we don't we're in the same situation again as the first half of the season. Would be great to sign a striker but it's just not going to happen really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has told fans not got overly excited when they see the club mentioned in relation to players like Eden Hazard. Rumours swept Tyneside on Sunday that Hazard had been seen at Newcastle's training ground. It transpires that the rumour led from a misunderstanding which arose from the fact Hazard had been due to watch the match as a guest of his former Lille team-mate Yohan Cabaye, but he could not make it as he had a game himself on Sunday. And Pardew admits it is not fair on his fans to get linked to such players as they have a clear transfer plan at the club and intend to stick to it. "It's unfair on our fans - they'll be looking up Hazard and people like that," he told the Evening Chronicle. "The guy's worth about £36m - he ain't coming here. "I'd love him to come here. "If he was at the training ground, I'd rather have been there than at the game! "He wasn't, and unfortunately I don't think he will be." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be chuffed with a striker and fullback this window, could do with another CB too which is the most likely addition. We've already shown that we can match most teams in this league "on our day" now. If we signed a top class LB/RB, CB, RW and striker we'd be a match for anyone.

Dr Venkman Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yeah us signing Hazard is pure fantasy, we've only got £35 million after all, and he's £36 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
