I suspect that whether we stay up or go down, we are preparing for Dunk to go in the summer and that CG is his replacement. That is why so much focus is being put on getting CG a full half season of regular football and we are actively looking for cover.

Just sensible forward planning and will have no effect whatsoever on the search for a striker.

I gave you a thumbs up for the sense in the post, but is there any other kind of planning?

Would be a very good signing and maybe let one of our centre backs out of the firing line as well as letting Goldson go to Ipswich to get some quality game time.

That thread also talks about Carroll to Chelsea.
I closed it down after that. lol
But that's been rumoured in the nationals for weeks. One of bizarre can do a job until the end of the season transfers.

However does not question the validity of the West Ham forum.

If the James Collins thing turns out to be just a rumour and nothing more, would Forren do for a half season loan to cover CG? Could he be 2018's answer to Peter Suddaby?

Not if we want to name a 25-man squad on February 1 with 8 HGPs, no.

Oh my God. This is a new low. So we expend a large percentage of the wage budget etc. on a past it PL failure? Why? So we can loan out a potentially superb covering CB whilst in the midst of an almost inevitable relegation dog fight... I mean COME ON! Collins has played a significant role in one of the worst PL defences over recent seasons, he is and always will be a mid table Championship defender at best! At this stage in his 'glittering' career he's more league sodding 1... FFS.

I only hope he actually doesn't want to come... Please not him, he's bloody awful.

Arghhhhhh. James Collins.

I'll say it again:

James Collins.

Sweet Jesus and the lord of all that sucks, I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

Calm down, he’d be 4th choice and unlikely to get a game I reckon. Goldson gets half a season elsewhere to get fully ready for his start next season after we sell Dunk, Uwe becomes primary cover (which is fine).
