sonyc 5,449 Posted January 17, 2016 [quote user="Norfolk Mustard "][quote user="Samwam27"]These three would be great additions, and really improve upon what we have got. I think Naysmith will be more direct than Wes, and likely to pose more of a threat by pitching in with more goals (great as Wes has been)Wil be interesting to see who Klose replaces if he signs?It sounds like Hoops may be on his way (I''d still like to see him stay & play off Jerome or Mbokani-nothing beats confidence and he now has it back) so we need to look at adding up front. I could see us go for Gayle, who would at least give us something different. Haller is a good looking gamble but thats a waiting game[/quote]If Klose signs, maybe Russell Martin will depart to Blackburn?...[/quote]That is something I hadn''t thought about Mustard. I can see him going in the summer but not now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted January 17, 2016 3rd page of this thread, and it''s been very pleasant all round. Excellent news about Klose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted January 17, 2016 Indeed anyone interested get onto Micheal baileys Twitter and watch the video from BT sports analysis of this. They talk about the deal in past tense, and seem to think that Klose was Wolfsburgs best defender last season and are surprised to see him go! Could be a great bit of business this, cultured with champions league experience... Hopefully give Rudd the protection he needs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unique 434 Posted January 18, 2016 Hopefully Naismith''s arrival will raise the enthusiasm and work-rate of the squad.Liverpool at home would be a great be but for him, providing he is clear of injury..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted January 18, 2016 Fingers crossed its done today or at the latest tomorrow...Certainly looking like the perfect remedy for Saturday, some positivity for the fans and staff alike. What''s more, I don''t think that''s us done in the window just yet. Still time for the rumours about Gayle, Bamford or dare I say later in the window even Haller to come to be.

Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted January 18, 2016 A loan could be on the cards though I half feel that one of the reasons we got Jarvis was almost if the worst was to happen, he would be a formidable player in the league below. Now we have covered ourselves to have him if the worst should happen.In terms of players we could get in on loan I''m struggling though to think who could come in that would make a difference or we couldn''t sign on a permanent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Green Army 236 Posted January 18, 2016 Would still love to see a player of Loic Remy/Andros Townsends calibre sign either permanently or loan in this transfer window. Pinto, Godfrey, Klose, Naismith, Townsend/Remy would be a great window! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted January 18, 2016 Can''t think of many either but wouldn''t mind a punt on bamford. I don''t think he''s far off being an effective striker at this level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted January 18, 2016 Remy would be a huge signing, though wages and the players own ambition would be a stumbling block, he must be on 100K plus a week I''d imagine at Chelsea. Townsend would be a good shout, but I wonder if Neil would feel we had that style of player with Redmond, Brady and Jarvis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,474 Posted January 18, 2016 Not keen on Bamford. Doesn''t look like the kinda guy up for a relegation scrap. Unlike Naismith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted January 18, 2016 If this is anywhere near being accurate, this is why David McNally gets his bonus![URL=http://s869.photobucket.com/user/mortymccarthy/media/Untitled_zpsz9g3qwyt.jpg.html][IMG]http://i869.photobucket.com/albums/ab257/mortymccarthy/Untitled_zpsz9g3qwyt.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted January 18, 2016 Heard that too. Like I say, we aren''t spoilt for choice for loaders but it would be nice to have another option up top. I don''t think any of the current options are the answer. Mbokani is good in flashes but seems to have to drop too deep that it compromises his goal threat. Perhaps naismith behind him will alleviate this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he has left out buying Jarvis. It makes sense to wait to see what figures are quoted for Naismith and Klose - IF we buy them - but if those deals go through then our net spend on course to be way more than £2m. And we have yet to sell Hooper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even playing football manager shows that :-PIn reality, there was some documents released in summer about Bournemouth trying to buy Carrillo from SCP which shows how complex it all is. I would think we arevpaying wages to pinto, naismith and klose incomparable to what we paid grabban, Johnson and hooper (well maybe not the latter). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
