Monroe Transfer 0 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Telegraph aren't known for making stuff up, so am definitely keeping my eye out on that one. Tiote can seduce him whilst on ACON duty too. Anyway - so are the club after another striker or not? One journo says our business is done, another says we're after this player and that player.... If we get Bony in for £12m it'll have been a £30m window! £18m net spend. Incomprehensible, even if it's in part down to the increased TV revenue from next summer onwards..

Christmas Tree 4004 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I think it's pretty clear they are after another striker if the right ones available (and willing to come). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 3619 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 They've realised getting relegated is going to cost a lot more than spending on these players. About bloody time. How many of these guys are eligible to play in Europe by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 If they've realised that the hard-ball game in the summer was a mistake, and they're rectifying it now in the notoriously difficult Jan window, then great. Relegation scaring the life out of Ashley and his mate due to the extra tv money next year. Hopefully they've realised the error their ways and are genuinely attempting to turn things around.

I think the focus and limit of ambition from the board is always going to be staying in the premier league and keeping that TV money coming in. Feeling genuinely threatened that that might not be the case next year is whats brought on this window I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoCo85 0 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I think January is a good time to buy squad players, providing players are willing to come. You can pick the players in their final 6months and pretty much hold their team over a barrel. 'We'll give you x amount for him now or you can get fuck all in the summer, your choice'. reckon now we have a decent squad you'll see a few pre-contract agreements for the summer. Pleased with this window, if we got Remy as well, it would have been superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegation scaring the life out of Ashley and his mate due to the extra tv money next year. Hopefully they've realised the error their ways and are genuinely attempting to turn things around. I know what you're saying about the Jan window and we've bucked the trend in that it hasn't been difficult at all for the club, Remy aside. We've targeted a number of players who we've been following for a while and who we have already ascertained their likely availability and willingness to join us. From that POV the club has done very well. The problems with the Jan transfer window arise when your two main strikers are injured and everyone know you're desperate or you're ringing Wigan at 10pm on 31st Jan offering half your dinner money for Charles N'zogbia. We've been very organised and executed the plan well during this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4004 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 George Caulkin @CaulkinTheTimes To clarify: I'm told Bony not a target for #Nufc and I'm told that's them done for the month. Never say never, but that's what I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Saw that earlier. Disappointed. We've still sold 3 strikers and brought in one. After Gouffran and Cisse we're back to Ranger and Shola. Not good enough. Hopefuly enough to take us through the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I reckon we'll bring another striker in this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asprilla 96 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 TBF, if we can't stay up with the squad we have now then we have no right being in the premiership. Much as I'd like to see another striker we don't want to just get someone for the sake of it although it may just be a smokescreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@yourservice 67 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Obviously a striker who bangs in them is great, but it's about time the midfield started to get a few in, it's not like we're short in that dept now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 6368 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Obviously a striker who bangs in them is great, but it's about time the midfield started to get a few in, it's not like we're short in that dept now. Cabaye's back now and Ben Arfa's around the corner - they're our most likely suspects for scoring. I believe Cisse needs some time out, but we don't have the options to facilitate that as it stands. If another striker doesn't turn up then really Ashley hasn't changed and his signings are primarily about buying valued products when their prices are low with the aim to sell them for a profit, rather than being about improving the team. This window they're taking advantage of the influential French players in the side to make us more attractive to others, at the same time hoping it will be enough to pull clear of the relegation battle that we're currently in.

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) He hasn't even played yet but Sissoko will be a threat with his forward runs and willingness to get in and around the box.
