Monk Posted 4 January, 2014 Share Posted 4 January, 2014 We have two confirmed targets. Approved by transfer committee, no news if we have moved for them yet. Lallana, Shaw & Rodriguez are going nowhere.. For now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 4 January, 2014 Share Posted 4 January, 2014 Cheers for the info Monk. Do you have any clues as to if these are defenders, goal keepers....?

Smirking_Saint Posted 4 January, 2014 Share Posted 4 January, 2014 Cheers monk. Appreciate info, will there be potential for our 'key' players to move if our 'vision' is not met ?

Suhari Posted 4 January, 2014 Share Posted 4 January, 2014 (edited) Cheers Monk. Gut feel is they will be players that come straight in and improve the team; that's obviously the intention nowadays. So my guess is CB, with Fonte moving on if he comes in (there must be something in all those Besiktas rumours of a few weeks ago). EDIT - on second thoughts it must be an attacking player. But what the hell do I know? Edited 4 January, 2014 by Suhari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 4 January, 2014 Share Posted 4 January, 2014 Can billy sharp come back in jan or is the deal til may with no clauses? Could really do with him on the bench right now.

Convict Colony Posted 4 January, 2014 Share Posted 4 January, 2014 I suppose it will entirely depend on where Poch see's where the biggest problem is, either Centre Half or Central Attacking Midfielder, create goals or defend goals. Currently on the defend goals view but would not argue if we got a attacking midfielder, if we got a right back i would say poch needs to be certified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie Posted 18 January, 2014 Share Posted 18 January, 2014 I guess whoever we targeted we will not be going for now?

bjk Posted 18 January, 2014 Share Posted 18 January, 2014 Looks like Lovrens broken his leg (only assuming) so a centre back is now crucial.Lescott is available, know his wages will be high but decent player if we could get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 18 January, 2014 Share Posted 18 January, 2014 I think we'll find out the owners real intentions this month, through the appointment of a chairman and potential movement in the transfer market. The last thing I want is for this season to peter out, but if we have to play with either Jos or Yoshida at the back for a prolonged period of time, then we won't do that well. I didn't think we'd make any moves, but you have to wonder if these injuries will really force our hand a bit. I also think we could do with a tad more fire power. Our 'out and out' strikers this year haven't done it for us for whatever reason. Jay's return has been terrific, but I don't see him as our out and out striker and he's still a little cold in terms of some of his finishing. At least Wanyama is back soon though, we really miss that strength in front of the back 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we be paying anyone 90k a week??? Don't think anyone has suggested that sort of outlay. but by that same logic, should we pay a little extra to ensure we don't drop 2 or 3 places and out of the top half? All very possible.
