Guest TCD23 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 We can cope without a winger as we do have cover, not top quality but still... What we can't afford to go without is a CB and I'd rather we have one in than having Remy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Both of them will probably cost more than Remy anyway. Really looks to me is that we've blown our only top quality, realistic target. I'm pretty convinced we won't get anyone. Gutted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Danny Welbeck on loan please. Sort this mess out in the summer. Concentrate on a CB or two if Colo leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 The back page of the Journal says the back-up targets are Gomis and Aubameyang: http://twitpic.com/bvah9b Get both and I am happy, despite neither being the winger/striker type we need. End up with aliadiere and i will bleed myself dead through blood tears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Gomis is strong and fast but can't play wide because his skill isn't that great, he's a target man really which means it will be hoof to Gomis if we signed him but hes a lot better at holding the ball up than Ba and probably stronger and faster than him. Never been impressed when I have seen him play, admittedly it hasn't been a great deal. Always looked like a frustrating player to watch Aye me neither despite all that, he would be a lot better target man then we have and in theory could make hoofball work but i really don't want to see hoofball.

David Icke - Son of God Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Gomis seems very unlikely and PEA has already said he's not leaving in this window. I'm not sure where we'll go after this since I don't think we've got a plan outside of France. Danny Graham is the most likely option but can you see us spending £7 million on a 27 year old with his record? I hope I'm proven wrong, but two weeks doesn't seem long enough for us to formulate a plan B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Aubameyang has said he won't leave this window as have st.etienne and i believe Gomis is pretty key for lyon so no chance on either. I'm pretty convinced we won't get anyone. Gutted. Lyon would sell Gomis for the right money. Regardless of how well he's done for them, they were actively trying to flog him in the summer as part of a cost cutting mission - much like Marseille - and nothing has changed despite their position at the top of the league.

What we can't afford to go without is a CB and I'd rather we have one in than having Remy. We need both a Striker and CB tbh if this window is to be deemed any kind of success. Maybe worth taking a punt on a striker from Championship and if nothing else will be used to that level for next season. Or maybe looking at short term getting odemwingie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 If the regime has done anything wrong it's letting it get to this stage where we are chasing targets in January we should have had in summer, and putting too much faith in a manager who is 10 years past his sell by date. Couldn't agree more with this. They only have themselves to blame if we go down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Both of them will probably cost more than Remy anyway. Really looks to me is that we've blown our only top quality, realistic target. Really though? He's hardly been pulling up trees has he? Not this season but he's proven it in the past, and because of his current situation he was an available transfer. The only one I can see where the very specific list of variables fall into place (plays in Ligue 1, cheaper than he should be for some reason, willing to join, positionally a good fit to the team). I'm looking around and struggling to see anybody who we could get. Hopefully I'm wrong and we pull something out of the bag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 There's plenty wrong with this regime and we've done to death the whole thing about how they fucked up not bringing anyone in in the summer. I don't have any complaints over this though. If the lad doesn't want to come and play for us then move on. We can't get into a situation where agents/players have us over the barrel to pay ludicrous wages like this. Ofcourse the extreme is the carry on like with the Debuchy situation but I don't blame them that they won't get into a wages war with QPR. If the regime has done anything wrong it's letting it get to this stage where we are chasing targets in January we should have had in summer, and putting too much faith in a manager who is 10 years past his sell by date. Lack of investment isn't to blame for anything, remember? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Mark Douglas@MsiDouglas Tomorrow in Journal: QPR get #nufc target Remy, 2 new/old striker targets & what really happened when Le Delegation went to France last wk Bet it is underwhelming. Absolutely fuck all. Yoof orientated weren't it. God forbid we don't sign French players at all levels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what they are. Not for me, it's fully justified. We're on the worst run of results I can remember and everything involving bringing players in is ending up in chaos. Excluding Debuchy, however look how long that took. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 We all know we should've had more players in, in the summer, but ffs that's history now, stop harping on about it. We're all a bit pissed off about this but if the guy wanted too much money and enjoys the company of cunts, what can we do? Best to move on and forget this ever happened.
