Simeon Jackson scored a goal in the Premiership as recently as 3 DAYS ago, so he is hardly likely to be coming here. I agree with you about Jordan Rhodes though, if he goes to a Championship club it'll only be West Ham, Leicester or Southampton. i.e. a combination of 2 of 3 things: pots of money available, fairly big club, good chance of promotion.

Which two players do you wan't Gus to go after in Jan?
- Thread starter Withdean11
- Start date
Not quoite sure where we fall down in that criteria
Not sure that we are competing financially with any of them, two of them are miles ahead of us in the table (both in the top two) and we're certainly smaller than all three - significantly so in West Ham's case.
Can you seriously fail to see this?

Yes. I was thinking that the other day. He scored some absolute screamers last season. We need some one to play the Bennett role of last season.
George Boyd would be good too.
What about Marcus Hannemann for a GK? Did anyone sign him on a free transfer in the end?

Keith Andrews and Simon Cox.

Get Elliott Bennett back on loan. He must be enjoying the money, but he's only getting a few minutes game time coming on as a sub and must be getting frustrated at not playing.

A few minutes
Norwich have played 17 PL games.
Bennett has started 10, come on in 3 more, and been an unused sub in 4.

He was starting games but isn't now. He has been on the bench more recently.
You think Elliott Bennett is the type of player to seek a loan move away, because he's been left on the bench for THREE games in a row?
Really?

I can live in hope. He hasn't been replaced imo.
Indeed, and no-one is arguing that part - of course we'd all love him back.
Fact is though, he's doing brilliantly well at Norwich, and enjoying playing at the finest stadiums in the land (except ours, obviously). He's going nowhere.

Boyd is the only player im keen on at the moment,we have far to many average midfielders who can't move forward and score goals,boyd is that man. 
Nine points is not miles . Especially with Christmas coming up. We can compete with both of them financially - how many time did we SMASH our transfer record this summer (esp Leicetser who are a basket case and will be shipping players in the transfer window) and West Ham have put all their eggs into Kevin Nolan's basket (I beliveve his wages -= £55k a week - are around £12million for the length of his contract).
This is a huge coup for both Sam Allardyce and West Ham United, that a second division side could pay the wages Newcastle were not willing to offer Kevin Nolan, to keep him on Tyneside
I am not buying into thos this "small club" mentatlity much longer. Worked for us when we were at Withdean but the Amex has pushed us by several gears now.
