****** The Official January Transfer Window Thread *******

[b.w.2.]

So we've brought in 3 players now (assuming the work permit for Keyal is a formality). Do people think we are done? I feel we will get a wide player and possibly another striker with either CMS or COG heading out. I'd be interested in other peoples thoughts.

I agree. Just not sure who the wide player will be.

I would think there will be a surprise or two before the window closes

Brighton 2 Arsenal 1!?

Cardiff look like they are going through a cost cutting exercise at the moment. I noticed that they have released Kim Bo-Kyung, a player that we were looking at in the Gus era. I wonder if we'll go in for him now that he's unattached?

Craig Noone?

Craig Noone?

The way things seem to be going at Cardiff I could see them accepting a cheeky bid.

Wigan appear to be selling every one of their players who is even remotely decent. Watson, Maloney, Forshaw and McManaman have all left just in the last two days.

£2m Forshaw's gone to Boro for. That's £3.5m they've spent on their central midfield alone this season (before you even get onto Kike, Vossen etc). Would hazard a guess that they're somewhat banking on promotion looking at their net spend for 2014/15. Fair play if they do go up - would find it quite amusing if they don't, though.

i guess from the lack of strikers on here nobody knows who aspinal was going on about the other day?

I rarely understand what Warren 'Jake Fortis-Caskey' Aspinall is going on about - who does!?

And another alleged target might be heading elsewhere:

i dont know hehe but a couple of people have said he said we dont need COG as we have someone better lined up tbf he cant speak good but he can scout and spot a player

His exact words were, if we get the player we are interested in then "COG will be gone"

Yes, it appears that Whelan fancies a renewal season in League One next year. They only signed Forshaw in the summer, whereas the other lot were probably high earners. But it seems as though they've given up already.

wish we had signed Phil Mchunt from Berwick....would of been a great player for us

phil mchunt

soccersauce@ We understand Brighton are in advanced talks to sign Berwick star Phil Mchunt

Berwick have at last accepted our 50,000 bid for their star player.Under 21 hot shot Phil Mchunt should sign

It wasnt funny the first, second or even third time you posted it, get some new material.

[chucky1973]

this has to be the most boring transfer window on record, no rumour's, no multi page superstar threads, no spots at Gatwick, no one seen leaving the Grand Hotel with Gus and Bloom......just rubbish....I have actually worked which is just shocking.

anyway back to the official award winning SNOW thread. Its just so much more exciting. (and at the same time rather disappointing) ((just like this thread))

CMS to Bolton on a permanent deal and Grabban in on loan?

Source is one of those crap twitter accounts but I have to say I would be okay with that
