Are we going to make a loan signing?

Murray played for Bournemouth at the weekend
For about 5 minutes.

Indeed but hardly a sign that he's going to be shipped out

Murray is not the answer, we need a pacey striker, to give us a different option.

What is Sky Transfer Rumours? Is he meaning a website or TV or what?
Something tells me he's winding you up as there's no such rumour on that site..?

Ipresume it is on the Sky sports on the TV because he took Sky Sports on a cheap deal to include the Burnely and QPR game.
He was definitely winding you up BG.

Indeed. If that was on Sky TV there would have been 10 threads in the space of 2 minutes on here and plenty of national coverage
I do however, feel that you've taken the parody account one step too far this time and many others will now rumble you

Just spoken to him it was on the sky sports website click on rumours and it was there in the middle of last week after the Unicef game. It said big surprise for Brighton fans as they are trying to bring in Ronaldhinio on a short contract to the end of season. and he is considering it as he has always wanted to play in England. Mind you England or Brazil in January February not contest for me.

**** off Lino.
Ronaldinho wasn't interested until he found out there might be a chance of finally fulfilling his lifelong ambition of playing just behind Matt Derbyshire.

I think that's a reasonable view but somewhere we have to turn these draws into wins. Better lose one and win one than draw two games.............. Our defence is excellent as it stands although without Bong's left foot it maybe doesn't contribute enough going forward and our centre backs offer no threat in the opponents' box. Overall we lack creativity and we lack goals.
Someone who can play a fast and accurate forward pass; someone who can make something of free kicks and corners; and someone who can score goals consistently are the priorities. No reason it can't be one man but unlikely to be a fullback.

Why would we get another left back?
Rosenior's been fine, plus we have cover in Calde and Chicksen. Granted they're not AMAZING.
If it was a forward, then as a short term loan the usual candidates are (1) Old guy who is Ex Premier League or (2) Youngun who is unproven but promising
We already have (1) and TONS of (2)
I expect to be underwhelmed

I have explained many times my logic behind Matt Derbyshire whether you agree or not is up to you, as far as the Sky rumour I laughed it off so perhaps you should.
It looks to me that without a left back it is a crisis in the making. We might be able to beat Birmingham and Charlton without a new striker. Mee is on four yellows so Stephen Ward won't be coming.

That is not true is it? LR was very good defending which is his prime job, but wasnt able to release Murphy very often as it was on his wrong foot and he could not go outside of the defenders. A natural left footer would have been able to do so but could we find one who can defend as well as LR?

Exactly. Liam is doing an adequate job, but nothing more, plus we have lost something by not having him on the right.
In terms of Chicksen or Caldy as a LB, not a chance, I'd move Bruno over before I played either of those two.

Glad somebody else can see it; I hope it happens before Thursday because LR would be a great asset at Right Midfield against Derby. I agree and wonder why CH didnt try Goldson at right back in the U21s to have a look, unless he has somebody lined up to come in
Good call, we really will need him at Derby on the right, I just don't think Solly offers the same cover defensively.

If there happens to be a decent left back kicking around who is happy to come for four months then yeah great. BUT last time I checked there's not many of them kicking about...... In any case I doubt there will be anyone available who has more experience than Rosenior in that position.
