Looks like Coppel is going to play his reserves again hence Pearce's recall. Great opportunity for Lancashire against Manure but we need to get someone in doubke quick for the rest of the season. ****tu at Bolton wouold be great but way out of our reach. Anyone got any other suggestions. Davenport seems to be available again at WHU.

I wonder how big any loan fee would be? I don't see much benefit to us in loaning Surman out. Sounds like someone is taking the **** knowing we are financially crippled. Mind you the Telegraph gets as many predictions wrong as the rest of the papers.

perhaps Skacel wants less and Ipswich are prepared to offer more now? Not sure really unless Skacel is going to play in midfield?

you are of course correct, but if we got over the odds for Surman then maybe just maybe there would be money available. Cardiff want £6m+ from Stoke for Joe Ledley. Is he that much better than Surman I wonder? Anyone that comes in clearly has to be on peanuts wages. No point in selling Surman for £1.5m only for all of the money to go on one or two players wages (hence John and Rasiak out the door). 15k crowds mean players on less than £5k a week.

Lee Molyneux. I'd of thought that will only happen if Skacel goes to Ipswich.

this looks like the start of a transfer rumour/January window thread to me. Excellent. How about renaming it and making it a sticky? For what its worth I'd like to see Skacel, Saga and Euell out the door. Primiarly to reduce the wage bill but also because I'm not a fan of any of those three. If I'm honest I know that Surman will be sold. The club has no choice, but I would be very dissapointed if the fee is the wrong side of £2.5m. Lallana is clearly a talent. I'd like to see him get the right guidance as he could blossom into a Joe Cole sort of player. Anyone that writes him off after 20 odd first team games is just shortsighted. This sort of talent doesn't come round very often and you need to enjoy it not moan about it. As for players coming in we need some pace out wide, and some strength and power down the middle and all round the pitch some quality. If we had money available I'd buy Dean Keates from Colchester and Andy Bishop from Bury. If we are looking at loans then how about some of these: Pele from WBA Vaz Te from Bolton Leroy Lita from Reading John Bostock from Spurs Damien Plessis from Liverpool

The Forest fans are not loing that appointment I can tell you. Lets hope its an arry-like outcome for them.

lazy goalscorer. I just could never get my head round that.

my guess would be that we will need to either have sold Lallana/Surman, cut a deal with Euell or loaned out Saga and Dyer again before we can afford the Cork loan.

perhaps McClaggan can fill that right wing position. I wonder i Dyer will work to regain his place or moan at losing it?

amen. Smith is weak, a bottler and I don't want him pussyfooting in front of me for the rest if the season. As for strikers perhaps we do need numbers. Robertson is not the answer though.

whats wrong with playing Patterson up front? It worked yesterday and he has looked good in every game I have seen him in so far.

none more so than from me. He certainly had a good game yesterday though and one header that prevented a certain goal certainly had me applauding him. Having said all that he is still weak as **** in the air which has been found out on several occassions already.

Bridge None. Pele, very doubtful indeed.

bit tired and hung over, sorry, but that was is as clear as mud. I'll lighten up though. Our bunnies are taking us down, that is something Alpine and i both agree on. Hang on I joined this thread all positive about the performance and now I'm leaving it depressed at the reality that we are going down. Bugger.

maybe, but he loaned him in the first place so why not extend it?

I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. I don't even see a post from you on this thread.

I judge each post on its merit. By contrast he appears to conclude that anyone with anything positive to say is delusional.

go back through the thread and tell me where people are being delusional. A decent performance is met with "we were crap". Not we ARE crap, but we WERE crap. I don't care if the poster was there or not today, either way they are talking utter ****e. We were decent, end of.

I don't know anything about that but I do know he likes calling people delusional and happy clappy despite the people in question being neither. By using such names he trys to discredit posters answers, but anyone with a bit about them can see right through that.

who comes in full stop. Pulis?

Pele to return?

out wide yes, but in the middle Gobern looks ready.

Cork is going back to Chelsea tomorrow to discuss extending the loan.

For me it was the inclusion of Patterson up front. The ball stuck and we could then play further up the field. In addition Gobern and Gillett protecting the back four much better. My greatest fear against united is the space their wide men will get. Our full backs must get better protection from the wide men. Holmes and Smith offered little. McClaggen worked well going both ways, less so BWP.
