Heake Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I reckon the clever money must be on a "Shefti-kuqi" type clogger on loan or short contract if this carries on. we got lucky with Sibiersky that one window & maybe Ashley sees that as a viable president? Its all ok waiting to the last hour of the window, gambling on the outcome of the months unsuccesfull bids comming to fruition, but nine (precious)points could well have ben squandered by then. The sad thing is, I can genuinely see 0 points from the next three games a possibility with the personell at his disposal & the current form they`re showing. I think we'll get between 3 and 7 points from our next 3 games, Norwich will probably beat us but we could get something from that game, we'll beat Reading and at the minute I can't see Villa beating us and our first away win is a possibility.

No need to conclude that yet, it looks like we're at least trying to buy a proper striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heake Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I really am at pains to type this as I get a feeling I know the kind of reaction (To me rather than the content), but a guy I know who has connections with Aston Villa reckons we`ve enquired about the availabilty / price etc. of Darren Bent!!. I must stress I think its a wind up, but, worringly, he`s not normally that type. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 When was the last time we had decent enough cover across the whole squad? How many clubs can ever really say that though? Honest question. I'm saying decent cover, look at the likes of Stoke and West Brom their squads are much deeper in terms of quality and if we can't compete with them in terms of squad size then we really have major issues as a club.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I don't think Stoke or West Brom's squad are any better than ours really, we just don't know how bad their reserves are. The drop in quality might be less, because the first team is worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a squad of 49, West Brom 40, Stoke just 36. Ok that's just in terms of numbers, but while I may be underestimating how good some of their players might be, looking through the lists I'm still really struggling to see this 'much deeper in terms of quality' claim.

Well we know those two positions are our weaknesses. I'm sure most WBA and Stoke fans are having the same discussions as us, and also that they would swap the majority of their players for ours.

LFEE Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 This bit in the Journal seems to be a pretty good assessment of where we are at... The latest round of discussions seemed to suggest that the clubs remain apart on a valuation, while Rémy’s representatives play their cards close to their chest. Interest from Germany has been widely touted and The Journal understands an agent has been given a mandate to find the player a Bundesliga move. But Rémy himself seems to favour joining Newcastle’s French legion. One of Newcastle’s alternatives is to move for St Etienne’s highly-rated Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is less experienced than Rémy so represents less of a battle-ready solution. No move for Rémy is likely before Saturday, while Marseille continue to play down talk that he will be leaving in this window.

Parky Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 As I said a couple of days ago we aren't offering anywhere near 11m and now everybody is wasting each others time. On top of that it seems there was never a come and get me type scenario reg this player who has been in and out of the team and probably using the move as a bargaining chip. The giveaway is that if WE WERE SERIOUS this would have all been hammered out before the window opened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only department we are healthy in is midfield. Both Stoke and West Brom have players that can come in after they get 2 injuries or more, we simply don't.

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Its not the squad numbers that are the problem we have a big enough squad the problem is quality.
