Kanj Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 i'm starting to wonder what the "plan" might be if they indeed go and get saivet and shelvey? saivet shelvey sissoko perez wijnaldum mitrovic something like that? with maybe de jong instead of perez or a second striker in his place if we sign one? doesn't appear to help our awful lack of width one iota at first glance Switch Wijnaldum and Perez IMO.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 2 cms being bought must mean either someone is off - Sissoko or Perez are the most obvious but are not centre mids so maybe it is Tiote and either Anita or Colback have made it clear that they are off now or in the summer? Or maybe the plan is for Colback to go left back. Certainly a strange area to be buying 2 players, neither of which are likely candidates for a massive rise in value over the next couple of years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobS Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 My guess is Tiote going and realisation that if we pair Colback and Anita for another 6 months in CM then we will probably be relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Linked with Andre Gray on loan in the Telegraph. On loan? He's Burnley's first choice striker. It's because he's already played for two clubs this season. A loan would apparently go around the rules. thought that was only emergency loans? HBA got caught out on that rule last year on loan at Hull after all (and our reserve team which was even weirder) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBA got caught out on that rule last year on loan at Hull after all (and our reserve team which was even weirder) He couldn't play for Nice because he would have been registrered for three Clubs in one season. The Telegraph article says that Burnely would still have Gray's registration, so because of that it wouldn't be a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Gray looks like he has all the attributes. It's a risk but look at the likes of Deeney Ighalo Vardy etc. Always feel more confident about the pacey ones compared to the likes of Rhodes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Telegraph article says that Burnely would still have Gray's registration, so because of that it wouldn't be a problem. this is the rule directly from the fifa rulebook Players may be registered with a maximum of three clubs during one season. During this period, the player is only eligible to play offi cial matches for two clubs. As an exception to this rule, a player moving between two clubs belonging to associations with overlapping seasons (i.e. start of the season in summer/autumn as opposed to winter/spring) may be eligible to play in offi cial matches for a third club during the relevant season, provided he has fully complied with his contractual obligations towards his previous clubs. Equally, the provisions relating to the registration periods (article 6) as well as to the minimum length of a contract (article 18 paragraph 2) must be respected he's played 2 championship games for Brentford and Burnley so seems fairly cut and dry to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yeah, wouldn't we have just loaned HBA last season if that was a way around it? We paid up HBA's contract such was our desire to get rid of him asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 douglas reckons we're planning on making a 'big splash' this january, striker still the main target, will be as well as saivet and shelvey.. While I think both Shelvey and Saivet sound like good signings, it will mean nothing without a striker. If we are going for Remy on loan that is hardly a big splash though, no matter how good a player he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 We need 2 more big splashes at least. Striker and Winger crucial unless he is hoping Aarons stays fit or Thauvin comes good. A centre half would be good as well but not as crucial as actually scoring goals at this point in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
