January transfer window

[Browney]

I meant to leave, rather than just Mascher

He's saying that Rafa will sell your best players, like he sold Xabi Alonso. So rather than sell Babel, he'll sell Masch.

Alonso wanted to go, simple as, let him go.
By the looks of it mascherano wants to go, let him go.

I'm hoping we can get a defender or centre midfielder to strenghten our defensive play.

Deal of the decade if it went through, Alex.

Linked heavily to Adam Johnson and Figueroa. Yes please.

strong rumours about that from this side as well . and erm we still need a goalscorer. out midfield is sick, our defence will sharpen up soon, but we need somebody to bang in goals apart from our left winger (and he might be going anyway!).

I will admit though, not sure why we need the lad. We have Reid who's in brutal form so unless we swap him to the right, drop Malbranque and slide Johnson in at the left, I can't see it working. I mean, we could play Reid at CM but then waste Cana or Catts. We could play a 4-2-3-1 but then we waste Jones. I don't particularly want us to waste Malbranque on the bench though. Richardson could step into LB.

Been linked with "someone" in Europe, Adam Johnson, Figeuroa.
Tbh, we should be after: LB, RB, LM, CM (backup) RM, ST (backup)
but i doubt he'll make that many changes.

Anyway, after being at Wigan on Saturday I thought N'zogbia was immense (as he was last season at the Stadium of Light) wouldn't mind puttinga bid in for him.

Been linked with the almight Ruud Van Nistleroy oh and patrick viera. A team of pensioners soon.

Did anyone spot Bruce on Sunday?

And I think our fullback problem is priority. Then a back up CM (Reid, Richardson, Malbranque and Henderson are capable enough on the wings in my opinion) and then a back up ST. Yeah I always have liked N'Zogbia. In fact, lets just recall Tainio for the CM. Figueroa and Hutton would suit me.

After the signing of mighty Vincent Pericard until January, we'll be hoping to extend his contract until the end of the season. Same thing with Tom Taiwo who's on loan from Chelsea. Adam Clayton from Man City could probably stay/go depending on if he plays or not in the coming games. Aside from that, Graham Kavanagh's getting very old by now and is knackered after 90 minutes so we'll be looking for more midfield cover and another striker if Vince leaves. Knowing Greg Abbott though, there'll be no money spent, more players will leave than come in and we'll be left with an even more threadbear squad than we have now.
